What most peoples do not know is that the story of Joan of Arc is a farce from the Catholic Church. Joan of Arc was an alien from Taygeta Pleyades infiltrated here on Earth. Her task was to improve life on earth. She collided with the Catholic Church and that is why the inquisition burned her down as a witch. She appeared on Earth during Faderation's assault on Alpha Centaury's star system due to the brutal trade of human meat and slaves from planet Earth done by recessive cosmic races. The war at Alpha Centaury spread to planet Earth and a little skirmish was seen in the city of Nuremberg at year 1561 as a battle of lights in the sky.

There are documented descriptions of the appearance of St. Joan Arc. Her eyes were slightly spaced apart, her “regard clair”means blue eyes, she was “brune” meaning dark haired. Her petite stature of 1m57 was based on tailor and armorer records and was not unusual for the era. As noted she was considered beautiful by some and average by others. Her voice was low and sweet and compelling though it would seem that she did scream while in battle since her voice was heard amidst the tumult. She cried easily and often and remained very feminine despite the heavenly mandate to dress as a page for manifold reasons. Being from a relatively well placed family in local society, she was not a true peasant nor was she a shepherdess. Her native region was pre-Lorraine and probably Barrois. It was still the Holy Roman Empire. She was asked to repeat herself during her trial due to her slight Germanic accent although her French was fluent. It would make sense that she most probably looked like a typical girl of the region, dark hair, blue eyes, strong facial features. Her living descendants share similar traits today.
Thank you for your comment. It was evident that in the video Joan of Arc was portrayed as a beautiful woman compatible with current beauty standards. It was very forced and it was nice to read a description honest.
Great to see these historical figures brought to life, Henry V, however, had a huge scar on his face from when he was hit with a longbow arrow whilst putting down a revolt. They had to invent a very precise tool to allow them to remove the arrow head safely, which took days, and they had to keep the wound open whilst it was being done using honey to ward off infection. He was one tough mo-fo for sure!
It always makes me think what the original artists would think of this. I guess to them, back in those times, it would be classes as magic. And it almost is, isn’t it. It’s so amazing. Thank you 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I always thought Henry V was ugly after watching his portrait, with that long face. In your reconstruction he looks much better. I would like to know why people sometimes looked so bad in their portraits.
Oh I loove this so much!! I'm not sure if you've ever thought about it but I would love to see you do Nathan Hale. I've always been so fascinated by him and your work is beautiful I'd love to see you try him!
Very beautiful and great work as all your video-clips and thanks for sharing all ! I am a great admirer of all Burgundy Dukes, especially of Charles the Bolt and his daughter Mary of Burgundy. It would be very great to find all the 4 Burgundy Dukes/Duchess also in your great collection. Thank you very much !
I love this video. All of those you cover are some of the most important and fascinating heroes/heroines of world history. Thank you. Your work bring history alive, especially for the students I teach. Would it be possible for you to do some of Asia? I could name so many if you were interested in doing so. I am teaching ancient and early modern histories of NE Asia and SE Asia this coming year.
One of the 'string of victories' you mention was the Battle of Patay, regarded as a 'reverse-Agincourt' by historians; advance scouts spooked a deer that ran through the English force, their yelling gave away their position. Joan's vanguard assaulted and routed the English with heavy losses (40%, most of them longbowmen) and captured most of the commanders. The English never recovered. Joan was not present at the actual fighting, but her force was on that road by her decision (which overruled her advisors). There can be no question it was her victory.
@@ninjaa6952 Those numbers are only part of the story. France having a far larger population eventually replaced its knights; England could not replace its veteran archers in time. "..Henry VI..whose state so many had the managing that they lost France and made his England bleed" -Shksp.
Hey just wanted to say how much I enjoy your content. There are many channels where they try to recreate historical figures but I feel like yours is the one that stands out! Also I noticed how the house of Valois looks very similar. John the Fearless (duke of burgundy) and Charles VI had very similar features too especially that long nose. I love the fact that you include history in your videos too.
I really enjoy your videos but where was the scar on Henry V’s face. He was hit by an arrow at the Battle of Shrewsbury when he was 16 which, it is reported, penetrated a full six inches into his skull. Dr Bradmore invented a device to extract the arrow head and used a combination of treatments to ensure the wound healed naturally but it would still have left a scar. Bradmore’s reports say the arrow struck on the left beneath the eye and by the nose although, presumably , he meant his left not the patient’s because Henry’s portraits alway show his left side and never the scarred & disfigured right side.
That would mostly affect the roof of the mouth, explaining why it didn't kill him. Not dying of infection or pain when the arrow was removed is amazing. I wonder how much it affected what and how he ate for the rest of his life. Being 16 growth hormones would probably have helped. A permanent inspiration for others to follow a tough leader into battle.
@@michellebyrom6551 I suppose it would depend on the trajectory of the arrow as to whether the roof of his mouth was affected. There is no mention of that in Dr Bradmore’s reports. I think there was some confusion as contemporary reports of the battle state he was “struck down by an arrow” which may have led people to believe that the arrow had a downward trajectory - which, as it penetrated a full 6 inches would, indeed, have compromised the roof of the mouth. . Bradmore treated the wound for 20 days with probes made up of a mixture of barley flour, honey & flax fibres making the probes smaller as the wound closed up. A doctor really ahead of his time. But the fact that, at 16, Prince Hal refused to leave the battlefield despite his severe injury in case it demoralised his men speaks volumes as to the calibre of the man he would become leading to his “band of brothers” following him to Agincourt.
@@elainebrooksbank5281 Indeed even from a young age Henry proved himself to be one of the greatest leaders of the Middle Ages. Had he lived king enough we may have seen the greatest and a possible comparison to that of Julius Caesar.
@@elainebrooksbank5281 His death could have been prevented, again he was stubborn to leave his army at the siege of Meaux. If he had left, he could have been properly treated and may have recovered.
Henry V had a very prominent scar from an arrow wound below his right eye, sustyained at thge battle of Shrewsbury, which is why we see his portraits in profile!
Sadly there's no official painting of lady jane grey. There's two paintings about her but are not portraits of her. One is a painting of her execution done 1000 years after her death and the other especialists are still unsure if it is her or the queen/widow Chaterine Parr
I have a suggestion which could make your channel blow up, could you animate the Yamnaya busts. The Yamnaya (or the Proto Indo Europeans) were a people living in Modern-day Ukraine in the Pontic steppe. We already have a few reconstructions but some are of poor quality or even inaccurate. Edit: The Yamnaya were basically the ancestors of Indo-European languages (English, Russian, Sanskrit, Persian, Greek etc.) and make up some 30% of European ancestry.
Brilliant as always! It should also be noted that Jean’s discovery was mostly do to the schemes of the extremely cunning Yolanda of Aragon, duchess of Anjou, mother in law and biggest supporter of King Charles VII!
Could be so. the was also the theory that she had delusions because of bovine tuberculosis or schizophrenia. Either way if she lived today they would have given her Prozac and lock her away.
Thank you for letting us see the likeness of Jeanne D’Arc. Her story always intrigued me. Some Harvard neurologist suggested she suffered from a form of epilepsy. No offense to the Harvard neurologists but, all I see is conjecture. She was highly intelligent for a peasant girl. She did lead campaign battles successfully. We will never know how her brain really worked. For me it’s difficult to accept Godly visions being agnostic. What’s absolute about her was her intelligence, her bravery and her piety. R.I.P Jeanne! 🌹🌹🌹
I don’t like how Luc Besson kind of just “yadda yadda yadda’d” away her military successes. And he’s a Frenchman and she’s his cultural hero. I mean, you can’t just emphasize that she’s “just an illiterate girl” (as he never fails to do in his film The Messenger) and then demonstrate her successes with no explanation beyond “eh, who knows? Did I mention she’s crazy?” And I don’t think he was leaving it “open-ended”, since he has everyone around her (even her own oddly secularized conscience) call her a bloodthirsty lunatic: no room for formulating your own opinions when the director tells you what to think about her, but that’s none of my business. PS - for a better film adaptation that demonstrates Jeanne’s humanity and prowess without degrading her, and leaving the matter of her visions up to the audience, I suggest Jacques Rivette’s Jeanne La Pucelle. It’s a long miniseries, and it’s in French (with English subtitles), but it should still be on RUclips or for purchase online.
Are you suggesting that sufferers of epilepsy can't be highly intelligent or lead successful battles? Let me tell you, you can be highly functional, but your brain can misfire in one particular way. For her, seeing that she lived in a highly religious society, those misfires could very easily take the form of religious experiences. And it's more likely that a person who already has a neurological disorder (like epilepsy) to show symptoms of another
@@CrisSelene I can see what you mean. That’s not at all what I meant. The Harvard neurologists stated that people with this type of epilepsy can be more debilitating. In my opinion it’s just conjecture. We may never know what caused her to have visions. In my opinion I found Jeanne D’Arc intelligent and brave. She was a tragic victim of a woman ahead of her time who was murdered out of fear.
@@OneTrueVikingbard I refused to watch the Messenger because I knew they will make her look more like a lunatic. I see Jeanne D’Arc as young girl betrayed by her body and by men who feared her. It’s really sad.
I really enjoy your channel, it is amazing how you bring all these historical figures to life. I've been entranced with European history since middle school, and am a avid fan of channels such ad yours. Have you done Alfred the Great?
Good but correct me if I'm wrong Henry v was apparently wounded in his right cheek by a Welsh arrow at the battle of Shrewsbury that's why his portrait was not a full frontal and only from his left side but I maybe wrong.
You kind of feel like more of a connection to these historical figures with your amazing work! Always look forward to the uploads! ♥️ also what music have you put to this?
It's all music from a videogame called SKYRIM, an Elderscrolls game from Bethesda Softworks. The theme playing when Joan appears is definitely called 'Dovahkiin'.
This is fantastic. I have studied history all my life and am thrilled to see the faces of the men and women I admire so much. They are so real, so emotive and engaging. It is wonderful to experience these transformations.
Thanks for the beautiful work with Joan ("Jehanne" in 15th Century French). But her hair should be bowl cropped short and round above the ears like in the profile painting of Henry V.
The information on Joan of Arc was refreshingly accurate (much more so than most videos on RUclips), although the scenes from "The Messenger" were not so good since historians have condemned the movie on numerous counts. Also, the portrait used as the basis for Charles VII was a stylized effigy rather than the more accurate painting by Jehan Fouquet and a similar painting in the "Hours of Etienne Chevalier" which both show him with a long, bulbous nose, sleepy eyelids, and dour mouth that looks like he just ate a lemon. These paintings are believed by historians to be accurate since they definitely are not idealized.
Two little historical points, fun as this was: 1) From what I read, the English longbowman could fire six arrows per minute, rather than 12. That was, however, plenty, still being twice what a crossbowman or later, a musketeer could do. 2) Jeanne d'Arc, whether beautiful or not, commonly wore men's clothes and hairstyles, especially in camp, to discourage sexual assault.
The 12 per minute seems like a lot to us. Consider practicing for speed rather than accuracy. With a tightly packed packed formation heading towards you the chances of hitting someone just by firing forwards is high. Keeping your eyes on the target and placing the quiver properly means the right hand will have a muscle memory of a smooth movement from bow to quiver to string with arrow tip resting on left hand as string is already being drawn back and the right hand moving to quiver as soon as the string is released. I assume string grooves on the end of the arrow are lined up with the fletch for convenience. The positioning of the right hand fingers would be the key. 5 seconds actually seems generous for that.
This is incorrect ! An English bowman could easily fire 10 to 12 , 31 inch arrows with a 800/1200 grain bodkin arrow head, per minute. It wouldn't pierced good armor / armor plating, however, had enough force to knock down a knight from his horse. Jehanne la Pucelle had two armors. one given by Charles VII, wider at the hips. It was not to discourage sexual assaults. For protection ONLY ! When she was using the gambeson, the armor undergarment, the commanders surrounding Jehanne mentioned often she had nice breasts ! Nudity was common in the 15th century mainly because of the public baths. Jehanne used the public baths often, since the gambeson were very smelly after a period of time , they couldn't really be washed ! The are NO real historic images/paintings from Jehanne la Pucelle, except the painting from , '' les Vigiles du Roi Charles VII, 1490 '' She is seeing wearing a long red dress to her ankles ....however, her face is very similar to any other individuals in the painting. Not to be taken seriously, image-wise, that is !
To summarized again with a few more details.... Jehanne la Pucelle was from the Barrois Region, the Duchy of Bar, which was part of the Holy Germanic Empire. In 1301, it became a fief of the Kingdom of France. In 1480, became part of the Duchy of Lorraine. And, Lorraine became part or was annexed by France, only in 1766 . Because of the early association and the German-speaking population, Lorraine including Alsace became again, part of the German Empire, in 1870/71. ( Yolande d'Anjou , which was the authority and mastermind behind all the events of Charles VII and Jehanne la Pucelle , her mother was Yolande de Bar, daughter of the famous Robert I , Duke of Bar. ) What a coincidence !!!
The print is up only for a fraction of a second, i have to stop, rewind, and pause to read the insanely brief print. Would it kill you to let the print remain visible for just a little longer?
Henry V is the only English king shown as a profile portrait because he had a big scar on his right cheek, the result of an arrow wound at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. You should have shown this.
Henry V was hit in the right cheek, the result of an arrow that struck just below his eye at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 (hence the side profile painting) there should be a scar there!
This is so incredible. I just love your work. I would love to see what Queen Cathrine de Medici & all the Valois Kings/Princesses of France looked like - King Henry II & Queen Catherine were said to have been incredibly ruthless!
The great beauty Joan possessed helped explain her charisma. Of course burning her at the stake stopped nothing. Only a fool would think she was the one coming up with the winning battle tactics or overall strategy. She was used by the real warlords to recruit and keeping morale up!
Jehanne la Pucelle had a temper, this is well-known ! Forget the charisma ! Nothing to do with ''morale''. At Orléans, the morale changed because .. 1) the supplies arrived from Yolande d'Anjou which changed everything. 2) The Scottish troops engaged the English 3) As Jehanne entered Orléans, the Robert the Bruce March was playing. Concerning '' fools'' ... who was Jehanne la Pucelle best friend ? It was René d'Anjou, son of Yolande d'Anjou. ( What a coincidence ! ) He was an expert in Chivalry and Medieval tactics and warfare. He even wrote a book on Medieval Chivalry. You were talking about battle tactics .....
Wow, simply an amazing work. Keep it up. Oh I hope you don't mind but can you do Mesopotamia rulers, like Sargon of Akkad and other rulers like Hammurabi, Assyrian rulers etc. Just love your work. This is the future.
I am a history teacher and use your videos in my lessons. My students have come to enjoy your videos as much as I do!

Thank you for your comment. It was evident that in the video Joan of Arc was portrayed as a beautiful woman compatible with current beauty standards. It was very forced and it was nice to read a description honest.
@@vanessabrissett2184 no, she had brothers and sisters!
@@somhal22-ql8tfThen they are not her descendants, they are her distant nieces and nephews.
What a strong woman! Little but Giant! What horrible death.
Perfect job. I just need to press pause if I want to have time to read the captions.
Yes, infact are too fast
Great to see these historical figures brought to life, Henry V, however, had a huge scar on his face from when he was hit with a longbow arrow whilst putting down a revolt.
They had to invent a very precise tool to allow them to remove the arrow head safely, which took days, and they had to keep the wound open whilst it was being done using honey to ward off infection.
He was one tough mo-fo for sure!
Ah hence the side portrait
Great work bringing the famous faces to life!!! Only downer is was there ever a time in the history of Europe that there wasn't bloody wars!!
I have become hooked on your amazing videos!
Another great historical video of how the people might have looked.
It always makes me think what the original artists would think of this. I guess to them, back in those times, it would be classes as magic. And it almost is, isn’t it. It’s so amazing. Thank you 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I really like where you use Skyrim music for the videos nice job as always 👍
Superb as ever. You forgot Henry V's facial scar from an arrow wound suffered in the Welsh Campaigns.
You have helped me to love history even more then I have! Thank you for all your great work!
I always thought Henry V was ugly after watching his portrait, with that long face. In your reconstruction he looks much better. I would like to know why people sometimes looked so bad in their portraits.
These videos are so cool. I love history and have spent a lot of time imagining what they looked like
Oh I loove this so much!! I'm not sure if you've ever thought about it but I would love to see you do Nathan Hale. I've always been so fascinated by him and your work is beautiful I'd love to see you try him!
I was also fascinated by him as well.
Excellent work, as always. Thank you for all your hard work!
Most excellent video yet, bravo well done indeed. Seeing St. Joan of Arc gave me chills. ⚔️✝️🇫🇷🛡
Great work. Thank you for bringing them more to life.
Very beautiful and great work as all your video-clips and thanks for sharing all ! I am a great admirer of all Burgundy Dukes, especially of Charles the Bolt and his daughter Mary of Burgundy. It would be very great to find all the 4 Burgundy Dukes/Duchess also in your great collection. Thank you very much !
Wonderful work! Please consider doing Basil II, the great Byzantine Emperor!
I love this video. All of those you cover are some of the most important and fascinating heroes/heroines of world history. Thank you. Your work bring history alive, especially for the students I teach. Would it be possible for you to do some of Asia? I could name so many if you were interested in doing so. I am teaching ancient and early modern histories of NE Asia and SE Asia this coming year.
Sure! Which Asians you have in mind?
Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Love the video, great effort to put faces to names. Music did trigger some old reflexes to check my surroundings though - DOVAHKIIN!
One of the 'string of victories' you mention was the Battle of Patay, regarded as a 'reverse-Agincourt' by historians; advance scouts spooked a deer that ran through the English force, their yelling gave away their position. Joan's vanguard assaulted and routed the English with heavy losses (40%, most of them longbowmen) and captured most of the commanders. The English never recovered. Joan was not present at the actual fighting, but her force was on that road by her decision (which overruled her advisors). There can be no question it was her victory.
Not really patay English lost 2k men agincourt French lost 8k, good victory but not comparable.
@@ninjaa6952 Those numbers are only part of the story. France having a far larger population eventually replaced its knights; England could not replace its veteran archers in time. "..Henry VI..whose state so many had the managing that they lost France and made his England bleed" -Shksp.
Amazing work!!! I have always wondered what these people looked like in real life!! Thank you for your hard work friend!! ❤️
💙Skyrim❤ music. Excellent choice! 👍😎
Hey just wanted to say how much I enjoy your content. There are many channels where they try to recreate historical figures but I feel like yours is the one that stands out! Also I noticed how the house of Valois looks very similar. John the Fearless (duke of burgundy) and Charles VI had very similar features too especially that long nose. I love the fact that you include history in your videos too.
I really enjoy your videos but where was the scar on Henry V’s face. He was hit by an arrow at the Battle of Shrewsbury when he was 16 which, it is reported, penetrated a full six inches into his skull.
Dr Bradmore invented a device to extract the arrow head and used a combination of treatments to ensure the wound healed naturally but it would still have left a scar.
Bradmore’s reports say the arrow struck on the left beneath the eye and by the nose although, presumably , he meant his left not the patient’s because Henry’s portraits alway show his left side and never the scarred & disfigured right side.
That would mostly affect the roof of the mouth, explaining why it didn't kill him. Not dying of infection or pain when the arrow was removed is amazing. I wonder how much it affected what and how he ate for the rest of his life. Being 16 growth hormones would probably have helped. A permanent inspiration for others to follow a tough leader into battle.
@@michellebyrom6551 I suppose it would depend on the trajectory of the arrow as to whether the roof of his mouth was affected. There is no mention of that in Dr Bradmore’s reports. I think there was some confusion as contemporary reports of the battle state he was “struck down by an arrow” which may have led people to believe that the arrow had a downward trajectory - which, as it penetrated a full 6 inches would, indeed, have compromised the roof of the mouth. . Bradmore treated the wound for 20 days with probes made up of a mixture of barley flour, honey & flax fibres making the probes smaller as the wound closed up. A doctor really ahead of his time.
But the fact that, at 16, Prince Hal refused to leave the battlefield despite his severe injury in case it demoralised his men speaks volumes as to the calibre of the man he would become leading to his “band of brothers” following him to Agincourt.
@@elainebrooksbank5281 Indeed even from a young age Henry proved himself to be one of the greatest leaders of the Middle Ages. Had he lived king enough we may have seen the greatest and a possible comparison to that of Julius Caesar.
@@henryvkingofenglandandfran7220 sadly dysentery is a great leveller.
@@elainebrooksbank5281 His death could have been prevented, again he was stubborn to leave his army at the siege of Meaux. If he had left, he could have been properly treated and may have recovered.
Never thought I'd say this about a Catholic saint, but Joan of Arc is gorgeous!😅
So many innocent victims have lost their lives in the name of God and GOD had nothing to do with it 😔
Felt like I had to go sell all my loot in Whiterun before continuing my quests after listening to this. ❤
Your videos take me back in time. It's sooo amazing thanks
Your work is amazing at making history come alive. I look forward to using some of your videos in my classroom.
Sure mate 🙂
Wow Charles VI even looked insane in the reimaging. Good job
Will you be doing a reconstruction of the last western roman emperors? Specifically Majorian? Keep up the good work!!!
Oh my word, thank you so much for your videos! No words.
Henry V had a very prominent scar from an arrow wound below his right eye, sustyained at thge battle of Shrewsbury, which is why we see his portraits in profile!
Amazing as usual!! I love Medieval history, would love to see Eleanor of Aquitaine and Edward VI!!!! And Lady Jane Grey!!!!
Yes, Lady Jane Grey would be good.
Sadly there's no official painting of lady jane grey. There's two paintings about her but are not portraits of her. One is a painting of her execution done 1000 years after her death and the other especialists are still unsure if it is her or the queen/widow Chaterine Parr
Actually wait, apparently there's a portrait that historians found recently of lady jane grey
Yes! That would be great !
Truly fascinating and wonderful work my friend. Very moving and insightful
Beautifully done please do one of Louis IX if possible merci 🙏
I have a suggestion which could make your channel blow up, could you animate the Yamnaya busts.
The Yamnaya (or the Proto Indo Europeans) were a people living in Modern-day Ukraine in the Pontic steppe. We already have a few reconstructions but some are of poor quality or even inaccurate.
Edit: The Yamnaya were basically the ancestors of Indo-European languages (English, Russian, Sanskrit, Persian, Greek etc.) and make up some 30% of European ancestry.
Mon dieu qu’elle était belle! Merci pour tout ton travail.
Tus manos son mágicas! Que sensibilidad y detalle. Felicitaciones!
Very enjoyed. Thx
These are brilliantly put together historical programmes.
Very comprehensive. 👍
Brilliant as always! It should also be noted that Jean’s discovery was mostly do to the schemes of the extremely cunning Yolanda of Aragon, duchess of Anjou, mother in law and biggest supporter of King Charles VII!
Could be so. the was also the theory that she had delusions because of bovine tuberculosis or schizophrenia. Either way if she lived today they would have given her Prozac and lock her away.
I guessed it was Joan d'arc when you posted the picture yesterday
These are great, but could you leave the captions up for longer please? It’s very difficult to read long sentences in a couple of seconds.
The best Channel around . MORE PLEASE!!!!!
Que linda foi Joanna D'arc. E que interessante ver vida nesses rostos históricos
Fascinante!
Interesting and worthwhile video.
Great job as always!!
Personally, I think the Joan at 9:30 is even more beautiful than the Minoan women, if possible.
Love your vids.
I love your work. So beautiful! Can you do Margrete the 1 of Denmark? She lived in the 14th century
Thank you for letting us see the likeness of Jeanne D’Arc. Her story always intrigued me. Some Harvard neurologist suggested she suffered from a form of epilepsy. No offense to the Harvard neurologists but, all I see is conjecture. She was highly intelligent for a peasant girl. She did lead campaign battles successfully. We will never know how her brain really worked. For me it’s difficult to accept Godly visions being agnostic. What’s absolute about her was her intelligence, her bravery and her piety.
R.I.P Jeanne! 🌹🌹🌹
I don’t like how Luc Besson kind of just “yadda yadda yadda’d” away her military successes. And he’s a Frenchman and she’s his cultural hero. I mean, you can’t just emphasize that she’s “just an illiterate girl” (as he never fails to do in his film The Messenger) and then demonstrate her successes with no explanation beyond “eh, who knows? Did I mention she’s crazy?”
And I don’t think he was leaving it “open-ended”, since he has everyone around her (even her own oddly secularized conscience) call her a bloodthirsty lunatic: no room for formulating your own opinions when the director tells you what to think about her, but that’s none of my business.
PS - for a better film adaptation that demonstrates Jeanne’s humanity and prowess without degrading her, and leaving the matter of her visions up to the audience, I suggest Jacques Rivette’s Jeanne La Pucelle. It’s a long miniseries, and it’s in French (with English subtitles), but it should still be on RUclips or for purchase online.
Are you suggesting that sufferers of epilepsy can't be highly intelligent or lead successful battles?
Let me tell you, you can be highly functional, but your brain can misfire in one particular way. For her, seeing that she lived in a highly religious society, those misfires could very easily take the form of religious experiences. And it's more likely that a person who already has a neurological disorder (like epilepsy) to show symptoms of another
@@CrisSelene I’m saying that it’s being used to deconstruct a legendary heroine in a very mean spirited and condescending way.
@@CrisSelene
I can see what you mean. That’s not at all what I meant. The Harvard neurologists stated that people with this type of epilepsy can be more debilitating. In my opinion it’s just conjecture. We may never know what caused her to have visions. In my opinion I found Jeanne D’Arc intelligent and brave. She was a tragic victim of a woman ahead of her time who was murdered out of fear.
@@OneTrueVikingbard
I refused to watch the Messenger because I knew they will make her look more like a lunatic. I see Jeanne D’Arc as young girl betrayed by her body and by men who feared her. It’s really sad.
Thank you for recreating these Plantagenet/French People.
I really enjoy your channel, it is amazing how you bring all these historical figures to life. I've been entranced with European history since middle school, and am a avid fan of channels such ad yours. Have you done Alfred the Great?
The Skyrim music 😍
Have you done Edward lll? He is by far my favorite english king!!
Good but correct me if I'm wrong Henry v was apparently wounded in his right cheek by a Welsh arrow at the battle of Shrewsbury that's why his portrait was not a full frontal and only from his left side but I maybe wrong.
Merci 👩🏻🙏⚜
Nothing compares
You kind of feel like more of a connection to these historical figures with your amazing work! Always look forward to the uploads! ♥️ also what music have you put to this?
It's all music from a videogame called SKYRIM, an Elderscrolls game from Bethesda Softworks.
The theme playing when Joan appears is definitely called 'Dovahkiin'.
This is fantastic. I have studied history all my life and am thrilled to see the faces of the men and women I admire so much. They are so real, so emotive and engaging. It is wonderful to experience these transformations.
Thanks for the beautiful work with Joan ("Jehanne" in 15th Century French). But her hair should be bowl cropped short and round above the ears like in the profile painting of Henry V.
The information on Joan of Arc was refreshingly accurate (much more so than most videos on RUclips), although the scenes from "The Messenger" were not so good since historians have condemned the movie on numerous counts. Also, the portrait used as the basis for Charles VII was a stylized effigy rather than the more accurate painting by Jehan Fouquet and a similar painting in the "Hours of Etienne Chevalier" which both show him with a long, bulbous nose, sleepy eyelids, and dour mouth that looks like he just ate a lemon. These paintings are believed by historians to be accurate since they definitely are not idealized.
Love your video but some of the information is only left up for seconds - not enough time to read it and then it's gone.
Two little historical points, fun as this was:
1) From what I read, the English longbowman could fire six arrows per minute, rather than 12. That was, however, plenty, still being twice what a crossbowman or later, a musketeer could do.
2) Jeanne d'Arc, whether beautiful or not, commonly wore men's clothes and hairstyles, especially in camp, to discourage sexual assault.
It’s definitely 12. Wide ranging sources say 12 per minute. Some sources say very skilled and experienced archers could fire twice this.
The 12 per minute seems like a lot to us. Consider practicing for speed rather than accuracy. With a tightly packed packed formation heading towards you the chances of hitting someone just by firing forwards is high. Keeping your eyes on the target and placing the quiver properly means the right hand will have a muscle memory of a smooth movement from bow to quiver to string with arrow tip resting on left hand as string is already being drawn back and the right hand moving to quiver as soon as the string is released. I assume string grooves on the end of the arrow are lined up with the fletch for convenience. The positioning of the right hand fingers would be the key. 5 seconds actually seems generous for that.
This is incorrect !
An English bowman could easily fire 10 to 12 ,
31 inch arrows
with a 800/1200 grain bodkin arrow head, per minute.
It wouldn't pierced good armor / armor plating,
however, had enough force to knock down a knight from his horse.
Jehanne la Pucelle had two armors. one given by Charles VII, wider at the hips.
It was not to discourage sexual assaults. For protection ONLY !
When she was using the gambeson, the armor undergarment,
the commanders surrounding Jehanne mentioned often she had nice breasts !
Nudity was common in the 15th century mainly because of the public baths.
Jehanne used the public baths often, since the gambeson were very smelly after a period of time ,
they couldn't really be washed !
The are NO real historic images/paintings from Jehanne la Pucelle,
except the painting from , '' les Vigiles du Roi Charles VII, 1490 ''
She is seeing wearing a long red dress to her ankles
....however, her face is very similar to any other individuals
in the painting.
Not to be taken seriously, image-wise, that is !
Jean looks exactly as I imagined very Gallic and pure.
To summarized again with a few more details....
Jehanne la Pucelle was from the Barrois Region,
the Duchy of Bar, which was part of the Holy Germanic Empire.
In 1301, it became a fief of the Kingdom of France.
In 1480, became part of the Duchy of Lorraine.
And, Lorraine became part or was annexed by France, only in 1766 .
Because of the early association and the German-speaking population,
Lorraine including Alsace became again,
part of the German Empire, in 1870/71.
( Yolande d'Anjou ,
which was the authority and mastermind behind all the events
of Charles VII and Jehanne la Pucelle ,
her mother was Yolande de Bar, daughter of the famous Robert I , Duke of Bar. )
What a coincidence !!!
What are the background musics ?
The print is up only for a fraction of a second, i have to stop, rewind, and pause to read the insanely brief print. Would it kill you to let the print remain visible for just a little longer?
Panegiotis Constantinou this is you who create the soundtrack of this video ?
They should do something on Henry V wife, isabel of valois, her mother isabeau of bavaria, maragret of anjou
Pretty angel and great lady Juana!
Henry V is the only English king shown as a profile portrait because he had a big scar on his right cheek, the result of an arrow wound at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. You should have shown this.
Joan is beautiful and has a strong soul.
What’s the name of the song when Joan herself is brought to life?
Henry V was hit in the right cheek, the result of an arrow that struck just below his eye at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 (hence the side profile painting) there should be a scar there!
We need, today, an other Joan/John.
And (s)he will come.
Hello. It's AZincourt battle, not Agincourt. ;)
Agafia: Correct !! AGincourt is near the city of Nancy, about 220 miles away from the site of the battle.
Amazing!!
What are some of the songs used in this video?
Can you do Francis the 1st of France?
Yes, I could try
@@panagiotisconstantinou thank you! :)
This is so incredible. I just love your work. I would love to see what Queen Cathrine de Medici & all the Valois Kings/Princesses of France looked like - King Henry II & Queen Catherine were said to have been incredibly ruthless!
If the portrait of Henry V is the only reference point you had, you took a lot of liberties with his appearance.
Great but terrifying! Thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is this Oblivion music?
Wonderful
The great beauty Joan possessed helped explain her charisma. Of course burning her at the stake stopped nothing. Only a fool would think she was the one coming up with the winning battle tactics or overall strategy. She was used by the real warlords to recruit and keeping morale up!
Jehanne la Pucelle had a temper, this is well-known !
Forget the charisma !
Nothing to do with ''morale''.
At Orléans, the morale changed because ..
1) the supplies arrived from Yolande d'Anjou which changed everything.
2) The Scottish troops engaged the English
3) As Jehanne entered Orléans, the Robert the Bruce March was playing.
Concerning '' fools'' ...
who was Jehanne la Pucelle best friend ?
It was René d'Anjou, son of Yolande d'Anjou. ( What a coincidence ! )
He was an expert in Chivalry and Medieval tactics and warfare.
He even wrote a book on Medieval Chivalry.
You were talking about battle tactics .....
Wow, simply an amazing work. Keep it up.
Oh I hope you don't mind but can you do Mesopotamia rulers, like Sargon of Akkad and other rulers like Hammurabi, Assyrian rulers etc. Just love your work.
This is the future.
I saw someone did say Joan of Ark in the pre comments
🙂
