Length2h 41m
About this audiobook
By her own account she could not read or write, yet at about seventeen a farm girl from a border village carried a white banner into the assault on an English fortress at Orleans, and at about nineteen she stood alone before a church court of learned theologians. Who was Joan of Arc, what did she really do, and how do we know? Joan of Arc Biography tells her life in plain English, from the village of Domremy to her death at Rouen on 30 May 1431 and her canonization in 1920, built on the records of her own time, including the trial transcripts in which she answers her judges in words the notaries wrote down. It is a narrative biography, not a history of the whole Hundred Years' War and not a work of theology: it explains the war and the politics only as far as her story needs them, treats her faith respectfully and neutrally, and says plainly where historians disagree. Inside, you'll discover: If you want one clear, careful and absorbing account of Joan of Arc that you can finish in a few evenings and keep using afterwards, start here.
