Maybe this belongs more in another box but since she's best known as a religious figure I figured i would start here.

Joan of Arc story is highly  mythologized but going over her court transcripts is fascinating. She claimed she could know Charles VII immediately despite never seeing him, and according to some of the court documents she did. Some witnesses just say she presented herself to the king but others say the king hid himself incognito in the crowd of his court and yet she went right to him. Considering it was the 1420s I find it doubtful she had ever seen a portrait of him. I'm not a theist at and her supposed predictions are all vague or cold reading  (like no shit you predict you'll be hurt in a battle) but how could she have known a man shed never seen?

I like Joan of Arc.  But there is an analysis that says she wasn't innocent.  What is commonly presented, including in The Messenger, is a hagiography.

There are some of the more recent questions that have come up ...

Whoa!  That's weird!  I'm racking my brain trying to figure out a way someone could possibly know what their ruler looks like without personally meeting them.

So, did Kings around that time not appear on coins?  Or have portraits made?  Or statues?  Jeez, this is a tough one!

Tbh I figured there wouldn't be a lot of pictures of the dethroned prince(she called him her king but he wasn't quite)  kicking around poor villages in 1420

Official documents are never retrofitted. Right?

Clearly, there's not a mundane explaination and magic is the safe bet.

There are many ways a sword can be found in a field, you know.  (or maybe you dont)

In America, I know a guy who would use a "Water witch" to find water, probably even easier to find a sword.

There's no real reason to believe this actually happened.

"History is bunk!" - Henry Ford

And not just the fantastic bits.  History is old accepted propaganda.  Until new politics ideologically revises it.  Was George Washington right or wrong?  For that matter, was Hitler right or wrong (given Stalin).

Ford never studied history, he just dabbled at best.

Henry Ford made history, he wasn't a %&$^$ historian.  And he was Hitler's favorite American.

You've never heard of Lindbergh. Non-historians like you and Ford often fuck history up.

Charles Lindberg Sr?  Yes, he knew that President Wilson was a traitor.  And per President Wilson, enforcing segregation in DC, President Wilson was a racist.

Charles Lindberg Jr?  The Nazi cock sucker?  Yeah, I appreciate Jimmy Stewart playing the part, but the man himself was a psychopath.

If we are arguing about who Hitler's favorite American was, I'm going to land on the Ford side of the debate. Hitler was a big fan of Ford's publication The International Jew, and it was Ford's portrait hanging above Hitler's desk in 1931 when he told an American journalist that Ford was his inspiration. Ford also received his Grand Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle at the direction of Hitler a couple of months before Goring presented Lindbergh with his.
