These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,229 --> 00:00:02,979 (dramatic music) 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Downloaded from YTS.MX 3 00:00:07,158 --> 00:00:08,420 - [Narrator] Once upon a time, 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX 5 00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:11,830 there was a young maid who heard heavenly voices 6 00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:14,083 and had the French king crowned in Reims. 7 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:18,130 Once upon a time, there was a brave shepherdess 8 00:00:18,130 --> 00:00:20,620 who raised an army and saved France 9 00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:22,163 from the English invader. 10 00:00:23,150 --> 00:00:27,730 The story of Joan of Arc has crossed the globe since 1431, 11 00:00:27,730 --> 00:00:29,965 the official date of her death at the stake. 12 00:00:29,965 --> 00:00:31,750 (crowd shouting) 13 00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:34,563 But did Joan really die that day? 14 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,750 Who then is that other Joan who some 10 years later 15 00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:42,430 so perturbed King Charles? 16 00:00:42,430 --> 00:00:46,500 Is Joan chosen by God or by a handful of men 17 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:48,850 who have turned a young girl into a prophetess? 18 00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:54,880 And what if the story of the heroine had been rewritten 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,033 to serve political interests and victory in war? 20 00:01:00,801 --> 00:01:02,160 (fire crackling) 21 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,910 (dramatic music) 22 00:01:14,156 --> 00:01:17,220 (suspenseful music) 23 00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:19,120 Nobody knows what she looked like 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,040 since no actual portrait of her exists, 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000 and yet Joan of Arc is one of the most depicted 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,590 historical figures in the world. 27 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:32,120 For five centuries, she has inspired over 20,000 books 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,070 and as many theses, fantasies, and conflicting ideologies. 29 00:01:37,070 --> 00:01:39,990 How does one find the truth from a sea of archives 30 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:43,530 that contains so many differing versions of her story? 31 00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:46,160 Even during her lifetime accounts differ, 32 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,853 so which then should we believe? 33 00:01:53,730 --> 00:01:56,900 The most important documentary records on Joan's life 34 00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:59,103 are the minutes of her trial held in Rouen. 35 00:02:02,901 --> 00:02:05,010 But 20 years after the proceedings, 36 00:02:05,010 --> 00:02:07,000 Chief Notary Guillaume Manchon 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,183 contests the text he has written in his own hand. 38 00:02:12,636 --> 00:02:16,553 (speaking in foreign language) 39 00:02:47,666 --> 00:02:50,416 (dramatic music) 40 00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:53,700 - Manchon will not be the only one 41 00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:56,520 to cast doubt on the trial in Rouen. 42 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,410 Joan's neighbors, friends, comrades in arms, 43 00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:01,400 certain judges, and even the torturer 44 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,052 would testify before Cardinal d'Estouteville 45 00:03:04,052 --> 00:03:07,220 during the rehabilitation trial ordered by the king 46 00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:09,453 20 years after the maid's death. 47 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:16,810 For six years, the Cardinal records the accounts 48 00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:20,163 of a 114 witnesses who have encountered Joan. 49 00:03:21,773 --> 00:03:24,350 d'Estouteville rereads every statement, 50 00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:27,233 all of which glorify the Maid, to their authors. 51 00:03:30,448 --> 00:03:34,448 (speaking in foreign language) 52 00:04:02,820 --> 00:04:07,132 - Many witnesses emphasized that Joan is a shepherdess. 53 00:04:07,132 --> 00:04:11,132 (speaking in foreign language) 54 00:04:29,037 --> 00:04:31,288 - And yet at her trial in Rouen, 55 00:04:31,288 --> 00:04:34,290 Joan states several times that she has never kept animals, 56 00:04:34,290 --> 00:04:36,173 so who is telling the truth? 57 00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:40,140 The legend of the shepherdess 58 00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:42,123 spreads during Joan's lifetime. 59 00:04:44,957 --> 00:04:48,957 (speaking in foreign language) 60 00:05:19,233 --> 00:05:22,345 (sheep bleating) 61 00:05:22,345 --> 00:05:24,670 - And one of the first propagators of this legend 62 00:05:24,670 --> 00:05:27,400 is none other than Perceval de Boulainvilliers, 63 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,370 the chamberlain of the Dauphin Charles. 64 00:05:30,370 --> 00:05:32,890 He describes Joan as a humble shepherdess 65 00:05:32,890 --> 00:05:34,453 who works miracles. 66 00:05:36,130 --> 00:05:37,630 - [Reader] As early has her seventh year, 67 00:05:37,630 --> 00:05:39,480 her parents, as was the custom in the village, 68 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,500 sent her to tend to the sheep. 69 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:43,250 Not a single animal perished 70 00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:45,423 or became the prey of ferocious beasts. 71 00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:50,360 - [Narrator] De Bourgeois de Paris, 72 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,300 chronicler and English partisan, 73 00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:54,500 doesn't believe a word of the propaganda 74 00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,663 and disparages it in his journal. 75 00:05:58,589 --> 00:06:02,589 (speaking in foreign language) 76 00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:21,050 - So is Joan really a shepherdess? 77 00:06:21,050 --> 00:06:23,693 The earliest writings are already contradictory, 78 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,903 and the story of the Maid would hold many more mysteries. 79 00:06:34,350 --> 00:06:35,770 During the 100 Years War, 80 00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:37,603 the French tear each other apart. 81 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,370 After the defeat at Agincourt, 82 00:06:40,370 --> 00:06:44,120 Queen Isabeau signed the Treaty of Troyes in 1420, 83 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,523 by which the King of England would also rule France. 84 00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:51,580 The country is divided into three parts, 85 00:06:51,580 --> 00:06:54,060 the North and Aquitaine are occupied by the English 86 00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:55,943 and their ally the Duchy of Burgundy, 87 00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:59,760 while the Armagnacs in their fiefdoms 88 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,240 south of the Loire River put up resistance 89 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,944 alongside the Dauphin Charles. 90 00:07:03,944 --> 00:07:06,944 (suspenseful music) 91 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,750 The kingdom of France is thus claimed 92 00:07:13,750 --> 00:07:15,823 by two crownless sovereigns. 93 00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:19,893 Which camp will God side with? 94 00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:25,477 - One thing that is important throughout the whole 95 00:07:25,477 --> 00:07:28,800 of the Hundred Years' War is the portrayal by both 96 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,120 the English and the French that God was on their side. 97 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,270 Generally speaking, the testimony that God 98 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:37,160 was on the side of one nation or the other 99 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,384 was whether they were winning or not. 100 00:07:39,384 --> 00:07:42,490 (birds chirping) 101 00:07:42,490 --> 00:07:44,550 - [Narrator] Joan begins hearing voices 102 00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:47,157 shortly after the Treaty of Troyes. 103 00:07:47,157 --> 00:07:49,220 Her village, Domrรฉmy, on the border 104 00:07:49,220 --> 00:07:52,353 between the two warring parties, isn't spared. 105 00:07:53,231 --> 00:07:57,148 (speaking in foreign language) 106 00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:12,870 The heavenly voice is described 107 00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:15,710 by the Dauphin's chamberlain, Perceval de Boulainvilliers, 108 00:08:15,710 --> 00:08:18,473 in a diplomatic letter to the Duke of Milan. 109 00:08:21,380 --> 00:08:23,570 - [Reader] Suddenly, a glowing cloud appeared 110 00:08:23,570 --> 00:08:25,440 before her eyes and from this cloud 111 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,810 came a voice which told her Joan, 112 00:08:27,810 --> 00:08:29,700 you must take up a different life, 113 00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:32,320 you must accomplish astounding things. 114 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,170 The King of Heaven has chosen you 115 00:08:34,170 --> 00:08:36,000 to rally the kingdom of France 116 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,590 to aid and defend King Charles, ousted from his domain. 117 00:08:39,590 --> 00:08:41,740 You must dress in a man's apparel, 118 00:08:41,740 --> 00:08:44,780 take up arms, and become a leader in battle. 119 00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:47,130 All will be done according to your counsel. 120 00:08:47,130 --> 00:08:49,472 The voice fell silent and the cloud vanished. 121 00:08:49,472 --> 00:08:52,555 (otherworldly music) 122 00:08:53,915 --> 00:08:57,832 (speaking in foreign language) 123 00:09:19,008 --> 00:09:21,758 (birds chirping) 124 00:10:33,538 --> 00:10:36,120 - [Narrator] For 20 years, reporter Marcel Gay 125 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,640 has been trying to decipher the contradictions 126 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,423 in the story of Joan of Arc. 127 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,940 He works in the field using the methods 128 00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:46,000 of investigative journalism. 129 00:10:48,578 --> 00:10:52,495 (speaking in foreign language) 130 00:11:53,448 --> 00:11:56,690 (dramatic music) 131 00:11:56,690 --> 00:11:58,590 Religious fervor and mysticism 132 00:11:58,590 --> 00:12:00,333 reign in this ravaged kingdom. 133 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,950 The great Gothic cathedrals have just been completed. 134 00:12:04,950 --> 00:12:06,860 And long before Joan's birth, 135 00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:09,450 prophecies announced the coming of a pucelle, 136 00:12:09,450 --> 00:12:13,683 a young woman sent by God to save the kingdom of France. 137 00:12:15,052 --> 00:12:18,969 (speaking in foreign language) 138 00:13:56,816 --> 00:13:58,460 The account given by her uncle 139 00:13:58,460 --> 00:14:00,920 illustrates that to convince those close to her, 140 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,063 even Joan cited the prophecies. 141 00:14:04,849 --> 00:14:08,766 (speaking in foreign language) 142 00:15:39,438 --> 00:15:42,021 (somber music) 143 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,350 And at the time, some people are already thinking 144 00:15:50,350 --> 00:15:52,170 that the fulfillment of this prophecy 145 00:15:52,170 --> 00:15:54,900 is a theatrical plot skillfully staged 146 00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:56,823 by members of the French nobility. 147 00:15:58,750 --> 00:16:03,193 25 years after Joan's death, even the Pope begins to wonder. 148 00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:11,333 - [Reader] Was this divine intervention or human strategy? 149 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,783 It is difficult for me to confirm. 150 00:16:18,780 --> 00:16:23,780 As the English prospered, the powers of France were divided, 151 00:16:23,870 --> 00:16:27,193 unable to accept the conduct of one of their own. 152 00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:33,540 Some believe that one of them, better advised, 153 00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:37,940 thought up the device of producing a virgin 154 00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:44,100 who was Heaven-sent, and being thus, 155 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,600 able to lay claim to the management of affairs. 156 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,640 For no man is alive who can refuse God as his leader. 157 00:17:02,070 --> 00:17:03,570 - [Narrator] The enemy camp of Burgundy 158 00:17:03,570 --> 00:17:05,853 is in no doubt that it is a ruse. 159 00:17:07,630 --> 00:17:10,710 One romantic play of the time suggests that Joan 160 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:14,540 is trained at arms and manipulated by a captain 161 00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:18,563 to simulate the divine mission of the little shepherdess. 162 00:17:24,175 --> 00:17:28,092 (speaking in foreign language) 163 00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:08,440 At the time of Joan, such a captain does exist. 164 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,310 He is Robert de Baudricourt, 165 00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:13,043 the leader of the King of France's army in the region. 166 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,500 It was he Joan turned to first 167 00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:20,550 in order to approach the Dauphin. 168 00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:27,210 The Chronicles of Lorraine is a collection of ancient texts 169 00:18:27,210 --> 00:18:29,943 compiled by the Dominican monk Dom Calmet. 170 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,630 They provide an astonishing version 171 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:35,000 of the meeting in Noncy between Joan, 172 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,793 Captain de Baudricourt, and the Duke of Lorraine. 173 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,250 - [Reader] When he came with the girl to Noncy, 174 00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:48,340 Baudricourt introduced her to the Duke, 175 00:18:48,340 --> 00:18:51,530 telling him how she wanted to go see King Charles 176 00:18:51,530 --> 00:18:53,580 in order to restore him to the throne 177 00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:55,763 and to chase the English from the kingdom. 178 00:18:57,540 --> 00:19:01,210 My Lord, I vow I'm in great haste to go there. 179 00:19:01,210 --> 00:19:03,000 What, said the duke? 180 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,123 But you can neither bare arms nor ride a horse. 181 00:19:07,170 --> 00:19:10,713 The girl replied that once she had armor and a steed, 182 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,733 I will mount it and then we'll see if I can ride. 183 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:18,173 The Duke gave her armor, horse, and a sword. 184 00:19:19,550 --> 00:19:22,300 And in the presence of all, without placing her foot 185 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:25,394 in the stirrup, she vaulted into the saddle. 186 00:19:25,394 --> 00:19:28,394 (suspenseful music) 187 00:19:34,650 --> 00:19:36,650 She was given a lance, she came 188 00:19:36,650 --> 00:19:39,333 into the castle forecourt, and then she rode. 189 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,313 Never has a man at arms ridden better. 190 00:19:44,430 --> 00:19:46,417 Every noble was astounded. 191 00:19:49,975 --> 00:19:52,808 (horse galloping) 192 00:19:54,254 --> 00:19:58,171 (speaking in foreign language) 193 00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:59,943 - [Narrator] Such military skills require years of training. 194 00:21:00,830 --> 00:21:02,410 But the majority of historians 195 00:21:02,410 --> 00:21:05,370 say that Joan is only 16 when she convinces 196 00:21:05,370 --> 00:21:09,100 Captain de Baudricourt to help her in her mission. 197 00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:11,040 The age of the maid remains 198 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,940 one of the great mysteries of history. 199 00:21:15,536 --> 00:21:19,453 (speaking in foreign language) 200 00:21:47,490 --> 00:21:50,320 In fact, the only text to include this date 201 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,410 is that of Perceval de Boulainvilliers, 202 00:21:52,410 --> 00:21:55,060 the chamberlain of the Dauphin Charles. 203 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,320 - [Reader] I think news has already reached 204 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,470 your ears of a young maid whom, 205 00:22:01,470 --> 00:22:05,720 as we piously believe, was sent to us from Heaven. 206 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,810 She arrived to light our mortal coil 207 00:22:07,810 --> 00:22:09,853 on the night of the Lord's epiphany. 208 00:22:12,318 --> 00:22:16,235 (speaking in foreign language) 209 00:22:22,782 --> 00:22:25,699 (hinges squeaking) 210 00:22:29,683 --> 00:22:31,240 - [Narrator] But one little known event 211 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,173 in her life may shed more light. 212 00:22:34,620 --> 00:22:36,763 Joan was engaged to be married. 213 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,750 Her parents tried to force her into a marriage, 214 00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:44,650 but having made a vow of chastity, 215 00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:48,003 she rejected the young man who then took her to court. 216 00:22:50,029 --> 00:22:53,120 (bell ringing) 217 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:57,060 In 1428, Joan appears and defends herself alone 218 00:22:57,060 --> 00:23:00,685 before the officialite de Toul and wins. 219 00:23:00,685 --> 00:23:03,435 (dramatic music) 220 00:23:05,060 --> 00:23:07,800 The only mention of this matrimonial trial 221 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,053 is a plaque opposite the cathedral. 222 00:23:13,300 --> 00:23:17,217 (speaking in foreign language) 223 00:23:28,850 --> 00:23:31,420 So Joan could have received years of training 224 00:23:31,420 --> 00:23:34,453 to learn the art of war, but from whom? 225 00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:39,550 Records from the rehabilitation trial 226 00:23:39,550 --> 00:23:41,790 reveal that two officers under orders 227 00:23:41,790 --> 00:23:45,113 from Captain de Baudricourt regularly visited Domremy. 228 00:23:47,028 --> 00:23:50,945 (speaking in foreign language) 229 00:24:35,129 --> 00:24:38,640 The Lorraine Archives hold an astonishing document, 230 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,320 the tenancy agreement signed 231 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,230 by Joan's father, Jacques d'Arc. 232 00:24:43,230 --> 00:24:44,760 The agreement shows that Jacques 233 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,470 not only rented farmland from the local lord, 234 00:24:47,470 --> 00:24:50,353 but also a fortress called the Chateau de I'Ile. 235 00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:54,883 So is Jacques merely a lonely farmer? 236 00:24:59,129 --> 00:25:03,046 (speaking in foreign language) 237 00:25:25,125 --> 00:25:27,220 If Jacques d'Arc manages a fortress 238 00:25:27,220 --> 00:25:30,880 in this threatened region, it must be under the authority 239 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,230 of the leader of the King's army, Captain de Baudricourt. 240 00:25:35,230 --> 00:25:39,483 His officers oversee the transformation of Joan into a man. 241 00:25:40,489 --> 00:25:44,406 (speaking in foreign language) 242 00:26:06,301 --> 00:26:09,857 (dramatic music) 243 00:26:09,857 --> 00:26:13,890 On the 23rd of February, 1429, during a fierce winter, 244 00:26:13,890 --> 00:26:16,203 she leaves Vaucouleurs for Chinon. 245 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,810 de Baudricourt has provided her with an escort of six 246 00:26:19,810 --> 00:26:23,620 horsemen including the royal messenger, Colet de Vienne. 247 00:26:23,620 --> 00:26:27,340 They complete the 600 kilometer journey in 11 days. 248 00:26:27,340 --> 00:26:30,020 Since the road crosses land belonging to the English 249 00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:32,723 and Burgundian enemy, the travel at night. 250 00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:35,950 Such a daring ride would have been a challenge 251 00:26:35,950 --> 00:26:38,353 even for the most skilled horsemen. 252 00:26:41,059 --> 00:26:44,976 (speaking in foreign language) 253 00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:43,212 The room where Joan met the Dauphin still stands. 254 00:27:43,212 --> 00:27:45,795 (somber music) 255 00:27:48,601 --> 00:27:52,518 (speaking in foreign language) 256 00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:33,210 After his meeting with Joan, Charles, often described 257 00:29:33,210 --> 00:29:37,320 as taciturn and indecisive, is a changed man. 258 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,973 According to every witness, he is radiant. 259 00:29:42,267 --> 00:29:46,184 (speaking in foreign language) 260 00:30:22,148 --> 00:30:25,620 (energetic music) 261 00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:27,780 Joan is at ease and gives the impression 262 00:30:27,780 --> 00:30:31,340 of being an equal among the highest ranked in court. 263 00:30:31,340 --> 00:30:34,460 She's addressed as noble princess or noble lady, 264 00:30:34,460 --> 00:30:36,926 terms that are not bandied about at that time. 265 00:30:36,926 --> 00:30:39,676 (crowd cheering) 266 00:30:40,730 --> 00:30:43,390 She never introduces herself as Joan of Arc 267 00:30:43,390 --> 00:30:45,403 but always as Joan la pucelle. 268 00:30:49,870 --> 00:30:52,870 This has led several unorthodox researchers to form 269 00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:57,230 a hypothesis that Joan was of noble or of royal extraction. 270 00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:59,050 She could have been a bastard child 271 00:30:59,050 --> 00:31:02,873 sent to be raised in the country, but the proof is lacking. 272 00:31:04,140 --> 00:31:07,550 Proof is also lacking to show who could have orchestrated 273 00:31:07,550 --> 00:31:10,440 the mission of Joan the prophetess. 274 00:31:13,567 --> 00:31:17,484 (speaking in foreign language) 275 00:32:19,930 --> 00:32:23,013 Proof may be lacking, but one thing is certain. 276 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,600 Yolande d'Anjou has supervised 277 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,600 the most intimate and important of examinations, 278 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,110 that of Joan's virginity which ensures 279 00:32:32,110 --> 00:32:34,333 she has dedicated her body to God. 280 00:32:35,740 --> 00:32:38,323 (somber music) 281 00:32:45,776 --> 00:32:50,776 It is thus Yolande d'Anjou who legitimizes Joan as a virgin. 282 00:32:57,386 --> 00:33:01,303 (speaking in foreign language) 283 00:33:44,210 --> 00:33:47,210 At Poitiers, the examinations continue. 284 00:33:47,210 --> 00:33:49,310 Joan is questioned over three weeks 285 00:33:49,310 --> 00:33:51,943 by an assembly of theologians and doctors. 286 00:33:53,140 --> 00:33:56,550 The King's secretary, Alain Chartier, is in attendance 287 00:33:56,550 --> 00:33:59,123 and is impressed by her knowledge and wisdom. 288 00:34:00,550 --> 00:34:03,000 - [Reader] The questions were manifold and reiterative. 289 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,970 They covered the greatest mysteries, both divine and human. 290 00:34:05,970 --> 00:34:08,020 Her answers were so just and so beautiful 291 00:34:08,020 --> 00:34:10,250 that one would never have said she was raised in the fields 292 00:34:10,250 --> 00:34:13,237 with sheep, but in the most learned of schools. 293 00:34:13,237 --> 00:34:15,820 (somber music) 294 00:34:23,539 --> 00:34:27,456 (speaking in foreign language) 295 00:36:17,333 --> 00:36:21,340 So, opinion differs regarding Joan's level of knowledge. 296 00:36:21,340 --> 00:36:23,530 But the statement made by the Dauphin's cousin, 297 00:36:23,530 --> 00:36:26,200 the Duke of Alencon, reveals that she may not 298 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,913 have been telling the whole truth. 299 00:36:29,070 --> 00:36:32,987 (speaking in foreign language) 300 00:36:44,683 --> 00:36:46,200 The Duke of Alencon's statement 301 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,833 also highlights the maid's military knowledge. 302 00:36:50,190 --> 00:36:52,960 At Chinon, Joan gives further demonstration 303 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,523 of her talents as a horsewoman. 304 00:36:56,938 --> 00:37:00,855 (speaking in foreign language) 305 00:37:41,780 --> 00:37:43,600 Joan's personality fascinates 306 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,693 the warlords of the Armagnac camp. 307 00:37:46,540 --> 00:37:49,940 Among them, Gilles de Rais, who would go down 308 00:37:49,940 --> 00:37:53,115 in history under the name of Bluebeard. 309 00:37:53,115 --> 00:37:56,115 (suspenseful music) 310 00:38:02,621 --> 00:38:06,538 (speaking in foreign language) 311 00:38:44,790 --> 00:38:47,580 Despite the number of accounts that surrounded Joan 312 00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:50,240 with pageboys, heralds, and squires, 313 00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:52,693 her military role remains unclear. 314 00:38:58,109 --> 00:39:02,026 (speaking in foreign language) 315 00:39:23,042 --> 00:39:25,792 (dramatic music) 316 00:39:27,620 --> 00:39:30,610 Her courage and charisma would surprise many, 317 00:39:30,610 --> 00:39:33,320 and as the heavenly voices had announced, 318 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,020 Joan ousts the English from Orleans in barely a week. 319 00:39:50,820 --> 00:39:53,130 But the working of this miracle was made easier 320 00:39:53,130 --> 00:39:54,980 by the fact that the English are locked 321 00:39:54,980 --> 00:39:58,083 in a serious dispute with their Burgundian allies. 322 00:40:01,531 --> 00:40:05,448 (speaking in foreign language) 323 00:40:22,244 --> 00:40:25,400 - The Duke of Bedford wrote that it had been, 324 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,010 or two things, that the siege of Orleans had been a mistake, 325 00:40:29,010 --> 00:40:32,930 he said taken up God knows whose advice 326 00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:35,810 and who on Earth had suggested we should besiege Orleans, 327 00:40:35,810 --> 00:40:39,160 and then he went on to comment on the bad effect 328 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,100 of Joan in making people sort of afraid, if you like, 329 00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:45,910 and making it likely that the English would be defeated. 330 00:40:45,910 --> 00:40:47,780 In other words, he's saying it was fear 331 00:40:47,780 --> 00:40:51,460 of Joan that caused the difficulty. 332 00:40:51,460 --> 00:40:53,600 At this point, the English are not winning 333 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,530 so it could be argued that God is not on their side. 334 00:40:56,530 --> 00:40:59,630 Given the population as a whole, they would believe this 335 00:40:59,630 --> 00:41:02,480 as a rather superstitious thing, that defeat meant 336 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,930 that God had turned his face against the English. 337 00:41:08,410 --> 00:41:10,160 - [Narrator] The English may have been terrified 338 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,000 of the demon Joan, but for the Armagnacs, 339 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,663 she is a gift from Heaven. 340 00:41:19,750 --> 00:41:21,980 And soon after the victory at Orleans, 341 00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:24,554 epic poems begin to spread her legend. 342 00:41:24,554 --> 00:41:27,304 (dramatic music) 343 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,340 - [Man] As demanded by her mission set from on high, 344 00:41:33,340 --> 00:41:35,670 she bore a man's heart and clothes. 345 00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:39,210 It wasn't men who trained her in war, but God. 346 00:41:39,210 --> 00:41:41,210 She was sent by Heaven to confound, 347 00:41:41,210 --> 00:41:43,903 oh England, your relentless insolence. 348 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:49,400 Such sudden disaster filled with terror 349 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,490 those guarding other forts. 350 00:41:51,490 --> 00:41:54,490 Not awaiting another assault, they shamelessly fled, 351 00:41:54,490 --> 00:41:57,740 abandoning all their positions to Joan the victorious, 352 00:41:57,740 --> 00:41:59,950 strong with Heaven's support. 353 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,240 - [Narrator] On the other hand, la Burgeois de Paris, 354 00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:11,360 a partisan of the Burgundian enemy, 355 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,303 is merciless in his chronicle about the maid. 356 00:42:16,713 --> 00:42:20,630 (speaking in foreign language) 357 00:42:47,724 --> 00:42:49,590 Thanks to the rehabilitation trial 358 00:42:49,590 --> 00:42:51,670 led by Cardinal d'Estouteville, 359 00:42:51,670 --> 00:42:53,810 the accounts he collected provide insight 360 00:42:53,810 --> 00:42:57,023 into Joan's private life during the military campaign. 361 00:42:59,298 --> 00:43:03,215 (speaking in foreign language) 362 00:44:04,925 --> 00:44:07,850 It seemed as if nothing could halt Joan's advance. 363 00:44:07,850 --> 00:44:09,480 Under her banner, the Armagnacs 364 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,310 take Beaugency, Meung, and city of sur-Loire. 365 00:44:13,310 --> 00:44:15,630 At Patay, they defeat the English army 366 00:44:15,630 --> 00:44:18,953 before Gien, Auxerre, and Troyes fall in turn. 367 00:44:21,150 --> 00:44:24,030 Urged forward by Joan, the army claims back 368 00:44:24,030 --> 00:44:26,573 what the English had taken years to capture. 369 00:44:29,956 --> 00:44:33,193 Reims falls on the 16th of July, 1429. 370 00:44:34,690 --> 00:44:36,860 The very next day, so as not to linger 371 00:44:36,860 --> 00:44:39,900 on threatened territory, Joan has Charles VII 372 00:44:39,900 --> 00:44:41,753 crowned in the cathedral. 373 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,270 Anointed with the holy oil of Clovis, 374 00:44:45,270 --> 00:44:47,930 Charles is recognized by all as the rightful 375 00:44:47,930 --> 00:44:50,623 King of France, designated by God. 376 00:44:55,140 --> 00:44:57,960 - Reims had been the crowning place of the kings 377 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,150 of France for a very long time. 378 00:45:00,150 --> 00:45:02,620 The belief that the oil of Clovis, 379 00:45:02,620 --> 00:45:06,000 the oil that had been used not just for the coronation 380 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,280 of Clovis, but for the baptism for the making Christian 381 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:15,260 of Clovis, that was housed in Reims and it was necessary 382 00:45:15,260 --> 00:45:19,040 to anoint a legitimate king of France with that oil. 383 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,230 Remember that the English were claiming to be 384 00:45:21,230 --> 00:45:24,463 legitimate kings of France, as well as King of England. 385 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,370 - [Narrator] The crowning of Charles VII 386 00:45:27,370 --> 00:45:31,090 is a triumph for Joan and her divine voices. 387 00:45:31,090 --> 00:45:34,530 She has fulfilled the second prophecy. 388 00:45:34,530 --> 00:45:36,330 She has turned the tide in a war 389 00:45:36,330 --> 00:45:39,063 that has lasted almost 100 years. 390 00:45:41,314 --> 00:45:43,380 But the King feels it is a time 391 00:45:43,380 --> 00:45:46,190 for pragmatism and opens truce negotiations 392 00:45:46,190 --> 00:45:48,783 with Burgundy, which Joan denounces. 393 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,783 She prepares to besiege Paris. 394 00:45:57,621 --> 00:46:01,538 (speaking in foreign language) 395 00:46:41,010 --> 00:46:43,640 On the eighth of September, 1429, 396 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,270 Joan for the first time meets with failure. 397 00:46:47,270 --> 00:46:49,893 She is wounded and her glory is tarnished. 398 00:46:50,930 --> 00:46:52,803 Charles dissolves the army. 399 00:46:53,810 --> 00:46:57,540 Perhaps to console her, he ennobles Joan and her family, 400 00:46:57,540 --> 00:46:59,857 giving her the name of Joan Du Lys. 401 00:47:01,522 --> 00:47:04,710 But although deprived of most of her comrades in arms, 402 00:47:04,710 --> 00:47:07,653 she continues the fight alone. 403 00:47:07,653 --> 00:47:10,403 (dramatic music) 404 00:47:18,110 --> 00:47:21,530 - She doesn't win any victories when she is by herself. 405 00:47:21,530 --> 00:47:24,280 She is also wounded on one or two occasions, 406 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,140 perhaps more wounds than we might have expected. 407 00:47:27,140 --> 00:47:30,110 The wounds, though, are at a distance always, 408 00:47:30,110 --> 00:47:33,770 I think they're by arrows, so I really wonder 409 00:47:33,770 --> 00:47:37,680 whether Joan was a warrior in the sense we would understand 410 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,930 it for all of the other people present there, 411 00:47:39,930 --> 00:47:42,490 or whether she is very much a figurehead 412 00:47:42,490 --> 00:47:44,600 and really quite vulnerable. 413 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,700 We know that Charles put a very big bodyguard around her, 414 00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:49,780 so I think we really need to revise 415 00:47:49,780 --> 00:47:52,053 the way we see Joan as a warrior. 416 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,190 - [Narrator] Her epic advance is finally halted 417 00:47:57,190 --> 00:47:59,973 at Compiegne in the spring of 1430. 418 00:48:00,830 --> 00:48:03,743 Joan is thrown from her horse and is taken prisoner. 419 00:48:04,660 --> 00:48:08,250 She is sold for 200 pounds to John of Luxembourg, 420 00:48:08,250 --> 00:48:10,453 an ally of the English and Burgundians. 421 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,650 Jean Germain, the Bishop of Nevers 422 00:48:13,650 --> 00:48:18,237 tells how Joan was humiliated before the Duke of Burgundy. 423 00:48:18,237 --> 00:48:22,154 (speaking in foreign language) 424 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,370 (suspenseful music) 425 00:49:19,370 --> 00:49:21,960 For eight months, John of Luxembourg 426 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,613 moves his prisoner from castle to castle. 427 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,450 Finally, he sells Joan to the English 428 00:49:28,450 --> 00:49:31,393 for the sum of 10,000 pounds. 429 00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:38,260 That year, the records of the English Crown 430 00:49:38,260 --> 00:49:41,720 mention Joan la Pucelle, they tell of how 431 00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:43,680 the Duke of Bedford, the English Regent 432 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,650 of the Kingdom of France, sent a considerable escort 433 00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:49,170 to take her to Rouen where the very young 434 00:49:49,170 --> 00:49:52,313 King of England, Henry VI, is waiting. 435 00:49:58,990 --> 00:50:02,120 - [Man] 24 pounds to be paid to Richard Hidlow 436 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,330 and 47 servants and pages of various parts 437 00:50:05,330 --> 00:50:08,410 of the royal household will leave Rouen for Picardy 438 00:50:08,410 --> 00:50:11,170 with Richard Browser, royal collector 439 00:50:11,170 --> 00:50:13,490 on the order of the King's counsel. 440 00:50:13,490 --> 00:50:17,340 For escorting Joan, called pucelle, to Rouen, 441 00:50:17,340 --> 00:50:20,263 each man will be paid the sum of 10 shillings. 442 00:50:26,450 --> 00:50:28,610 - The young king was kept in Rouen 443 00:50:28,610 --> 00:50:30,040 during the time of Joan of Arc, 444 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,773 I think that this is deliberate. 445 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,970 Joan herself was quite young, 446 00:50:34,970 --> 00:50:38,370 the King is eight moving onto nine. 447 00:50:38,370 --> 00:50:41,190 In this period, there was a great reverence for children. 448 00:50:41,190 --> 00:50:44,040 They were seen as blameless and innocent, 449 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,120 and therefore I think it was very important 450 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,770 for the King, who no doubt was a very pious child, 451 00:50:49,770 --> 00:50:53,690 it was important for that juxtaposition to take place, 452 00:50:53,690 --> 00:50:57,620 the evil woman who was misleading the people 453 00:50:57,620 --> 00:51:00,800 and the King who was the innocent youth 454 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,190 representing the God-given authority of kingship. 455 00:51:04,190 --> 00:51:07,181 And I think that that was done deliberately. 456 00:51:07,181 --> 00:51:09,931 (dramatic music) 457 00:51:12,867 --> 00:51:16,784 (speaking in foreign language) 458 00:51:32,029 --> 00:51:34,140 - [Narrator] Before 95 French theologians, 459 00:51:34,140 --> 00:51:37,070 Bishop Pierre Cauchon opens Joan's trial 460 00:51:37,070 --> 00:51:40,000 for heresy and witchcraft. 461 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,250 The judges charge the maid with dressing 462 00:51:42,250 --> 00:51:46,070 as a man and practicing idolatry, which gives 463 00:51:46,070 --> 00:51:48,680 la Bourgeois de Paris the perfect opportunity 464 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,530 to show his indignation of the accused. 465 00:51:52,654 --> 00:51:56,571 (speaking in foreign language) 466 00:53:18,050 --> 00:53:21,310 As masters of the game, the English appoint Frenchmen 467 00:53:21,310 --> 00:53:25,853 to lead the trial but verify Joan's virginity themselves. 468 00:53:29,594 --> 00:53:33,511 (speaking in foreign language) 469 00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:56,030 She is still a virgin. 470 00:53:56,030 --> 00:53:58,600 The English are unable to try her as a witch, 471 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,780 but they need to prove that Joan isn't sent by God 472 00:54:01,780 --> 00:54:03,880 in order to contest the divine right 473 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,960 of Charles VII to the French Crown. 474 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,860 The judges will thus accuse her of idolatry, 475 00:54:09,860 --> 00:54:12,917 challenging the heavenly nature of her voices. 476 00:54:14,065 --> 00:54:17,982 (speaking in foreign language) 477 00:55:22,039 --> 00:55:24,956 (discordant music) 478 00:56:29,457 --> 00:56:31,160 Inside the prison walls, 479 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,503 the voices continued to back Joan. 480 00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:38,390 Outside too, she isn't completely abandoned. 481 00:56:38,390 --> 00:56:41,623 Gilles de Rais keeps up the harassment of the English. 482 00:56:42,807 --> 00:56:46,724 (speaking in foreign language) 483 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,814 The trial has dragged on for five months. 484 00:57:22,814 --> 00:57:25,564 (fire crackling) 485 00:57:27,580 --> 00:57:30,080 Bishop Cauchon forces Joan to sign 486 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,670 an act of abjuration of her errors. 487 00:57:32,670 --> 00:57:34,710 She submits to the church and promises 488 00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:38,730 never to dress as a man again on pain of death. 489 00:57:38,730 --> 00:57:40,710 And while she remains in English hands, 490 00:57:40,710 --> 00:57:43,053 she is at the mercy of her jailers. 491 00:57:45,352 --> 00:57:49,269 (speaking in foreign language) 492 00:58:45,558 --> 00:58:48,700 It is an outrage, Joan dressed once more 493 00:58:48,700 --> 00:58:51,210 as a man despite her abjuration. 494 00:58:51,210 --> 00:58:54,100 Bishop Cauchon declares her a relapsed heretic 495 00:58:54,100 --> 00:58:55,650 and makes his decision. 496 00:58:55,650 --> 00:58:57,900 Two days later, on the 30th of May, 497 00:58:57,900 --> 00:59:01,973 Joan will be excommunicated and burnt alive at the stake. 498 00:59:03,632 --> 00:59:07,549 (speaking in foreign language) 499 01:00:21,452 --> 01:00:23,619 800 men, why such an army? 500 01:00:25,310 --> 01:00:27,422 To keep the people at bay. 501 01:00:27,422 --> 01:00:30,450 Perceval de Cagny, secretary to the Duke of Alencon, 502 01:00:30,450 --> 01:00:32,830 has informers on the spot. 503 01:00:32,830 --> 01:00:35,743 His chronicle reveals a strange detail. 504 01:00:39,900 --> 01:00:44,900 - [Reader] La pucelle was led, her face covered, 505 01:00:45,250 --> 01:00:49,453 from the castle to the place where the fire was built. 506 01:00:50,810 --> 01:00:54,410 Certain things were read at the said place, 507 01:00:54,410 --> 01:00:58,563 and then she was tied to the stake and burnt. 508 01:01:00,930 --> 01:01:03,330 - [Narrator] But what was her face covered with? 509 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,080 In the chronicle written by the clerk of the Parliament 510 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,163 of Paris, Joan's head was covered with a miter. 511 01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,640 - [Man] On the miter, which she wore on her head, 512 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,390 were written the following words: 513 01:01:21,390 --> 01:01:25,543 heretic, relapse, apostate, idolatry. 514 01:01:28,700 --> 01:01:31,010 - [Narrator] Another anomaly from the records 515 01:01:31,010 --> 01:01:34,530 of the rehabilitation trial, the executioner complains 516 01:01:34,530 --> 01:01:37,780 of not being able to reduce Joan's suffering 517 01:01:37,780 --> 01:01:41,023 as the stake is raised too high from the scaffold. 518 01:01:42,826 --> 01:01:46,743 (speaking in foreign language) 519 01:02:16,291 --> 01:02:18,290 La Bourgeois de Paris delights 520 01:02:18,290 --> 01:02:21,943 in finally being able to announce the death of his enemy. 521 01:02:23,705 --> 01:02:27,622 (speaking in foreign language) 522 01:03:14,443 --> 01:03:17,760 20 years later, once the civil war is over, 523 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,270 several of the judges who condemned Joan of Arc 524 01:03:20,270 --> 01:03:22,900 as a heretic would speak in her favor 525 01:03:22,900 --> 01:03:25,090 during the rehabilitation trial. 526 01:03:25,090 --> 01:03:27,580 But was it not a case of exaggerating 527 01:03:27,580 --> 01:03:30,763 in order to make up now for their previous collaboration? 528 01:03:32,258 --> 01:03:36,175 (speaking in foreign language) 529 01:04:31,566 --> 01:04:36,260 Joan's heroic end would become the stuff of legend. 530 01:04:36,260 --> 01:04:40,810 And yet, in this year of 1431, not one English chronicle 531 01:04:40,810 --> 01:04:43,830 mentions the execution of Joan the maid. 532 01:04:43,830 --> 01:04:46,723 What could explain such silence from her victors? 533 01:04:48,650 --> 01:04:51,523 Other questions remain unanswered. 534 01:04:51,523 --> 01:04:54,633 Why 800 men at arms to keep back the crowd? 535 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,103 Why was Joan's face covered? 536 01:04:59,250 --> 01:05:02,567 Why was the stake so high that she was unreachable? 537 01:05:02,567 --> 01:05:05,317 (dramatic music) 538 01:05:11,533 --> 01:05:15,470 At the time, some refused to believe that Joan is dead. 539 01:05:15,470 --> 01:05:18,210 And five years later, with peace between the houses 540 01:05:18,210 --> 01:05:20,450 of Armagnac and Burgundy still young, 541 01:05:20,450 --> 01:05:25,003 an astonishing rumor begins to spread, Joan is back. 542 01:05:28,325 --> 01:05:32,242 (speaking in foreign language) 543 01:05:59,250 --> 01:06:03,150 Near the city of Metz, a young woman claims to be Joan, 544 01:06:03,150 --> 01:06:05,373 having escaped the stake in Rouen. 545 01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:09,170 Numerous historical documents 546 01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:12,393 at the French National Library attest to this appearance. 547 01:06:13,750 --> 01:06:16,540 The first known account is by the Dean of St. Thibaut, 548 01:06:16,540 --> 01:06:18,473 an ecclesiastical judge in Metz. 549 01:06:20,330 --> 01:06:22,100 Here is the story of the woman 550 01:06:22,100 --> 01:06:24,893 who historians have dubbed the false Joan. 551 01:06:26,873 --> 01:06:30,790 (speaking in foreign language) 552 01:11:20,108 --> 01:11:22,858 (dramatic music) 553 01:11:24,450 --> 01:11:26,310 At that time, the chronicle of the Dean 554 01:11:26,310 --> 01:11:28,693 of St. Thibaut place her in Cologne. 555 01:11:34,173 --> 01:11:36,980 Her presence is confirmed by Johannes Nider, 556 01:11:36,980 --> 01:11:39,280 the prior of the Dominicans in Basel, 557 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,833 a member of the Inquisition and an expert in witchcraft. 558 01:11:45,540 --> 01:11:48,810 His treaty on religious discipline, the Formicarium, 559 01:11:48,810 --> 01:11:51,553 paints the portrait of a scandalous woman. 560 01:11:53,370 --> 01:11:57,287 (speaking in foreign language) 561 01:12:41,759 --> 01:12:44,509 (dramatic music) 562 01:14:06,362 --> 01:14:09,420 The Inquisitor of Cologne summons this woman 563 01:14:09,420 --> 01:14:11,653 whose behavior he deems inadmissible. 564 01:14:14,862 --> 01:14:18,779 (speaking in foreign language) 565 01:15:20,829 --> 01:15:23,520 Excommunicated, the mysterious woman 566 01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,900 seeks refuge at the Chateau d'Arlon 567 01:15:25,900 --> 01:15:28,580 and soon marries a French knight, 568 01:15:28,580 --> 01:15:31,973 Robert des Armoises, a widower with two children. 569 01:15:36,906 --> 01:15:40,823 (speaking in foreign language) 570 01:16:08,885 --> 01:16:11,885 (suspenseful music) 571 01:16:48,473 --> 01:16:50,420 True Joan or false Joan, 572 01:16:50,420 --> 01:16:53,183 the reappearance sends shockwaves throughout France. 573 01:16:54,350 --> 01:16:56,380 In a note to to his register in Arlon 574 01:16:56,380 --> 01:16:59,163 is the trace of an act between two comrades. 575 01:17:00,530 --> 01:17:03,030 One bets that it is the real Joan, 576 01:17:03,030 --> 01:17:04,773 the other refuses to believe it. 577 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,623 The mystery even reaches neighboring lands. 578 01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,160 And that same year, 1436, the King of Spain 579 01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,560 receives a letter asking for military aid 580 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,840 from a certain pucelle de France 581 01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,223 who is fighting the English in La Rochelle. 582 01:17:27,770 --> 01:17:29,860 - [Man] At court, the constable showed 583 01:17:29,860 --> 01:17:32,860 the signature to the nobles of Spain 584 01:17:32,860 --> 01:17:35,323 as though it were the holiest of relics. 585 01:17:36,370 --> 01:17:40,543 For, since he was bold-hearted, he loved those who were too. 586 01:17:42,010 --> 01:17:44,720 And for this reason, he was interested 587 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,273 in the feats of the maid. 588 01:17:48,460 --> 01:17:51,280 And because of this, the constable decided, 589 01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,050 with the King's endorsement, to send to the maid 590 01:17:54,050 --> 01:17:56,240 a fleet such that could come to the aid 591 01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,545 of her and the King of France. 592 01:17:58,545 --> 01:18:01,295 (dramatic music) 593 01:18:04,294 --> 01:18:05,360 - [Narrator] Three years later, 594 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,113 Joan des Armoises turns up in Orleans. 595 01:18:09,300 --> 01:18:12,563 City records show she received a very warm welcome. 596 01:18:18,588 --> 01:18:20,230 - [Reader] On the 18th day of July, 597 01:18:20,230 --> 01:18:23,260 for 10 pints wine in bottles presented to the lady 598 01:18:23,260 --> 01:18:26,520 Joan des Armoises, a cost of 14 farthings. 599 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:28,940 To the same on the 29th day of July 600 01:18:28,940 --> 01:18:30,740 for 10 pints of wine in bottles 601 01:18:30,740 --> 01:18:33,873 presented to Madam Joan, a cost of 14 farthings. 602 01:18:35,147 --> 01:18:39,064 (speaking in foreign language) 603 01:19:06,390 --> 01:19:08,660 Eight pints of wine served at a dinner 604 01:19:08,660 --> 01:19:12,050 and which were present Jean Quillier and Thevanon of Bourges 605 01:19:12,050 --> 01:19:14,730 held to introduce the latter to the said Joan, 606 01:19:14,730 --> 01:19:17,173 who left before the said wine arrived. 607 01:19:18,790 --> 01:19:22,707 (speaking in foreign language) 608 01:19:39,403 --> 01:19:41,780 To Joan des Armoises, as a gift to her 609 01:19:41,780 --> 01:19:43,410 on this first day of August. 610 01:19:43,410 --> 01:19:46,250 By the deliberation of the city council in thanks 611 01:19:46,250 --> 01:19:49,293 for the good she did to said city during the siege. 612 01:19:52,222 --> 01:19:56,139 (speaking in foreign language) 613 01:20:09,388 --> 01:20:12,388 (suspenseful music) 614 01:20:19,364 --> 01:20:22,670 - [Narrator] And risk soon turns to real danger. 615 01:20:22,670 --> 01:20:25,690 In 1440, Joan des Armoises is arrested 616 01:20:25,690 --> 01:20:28,520 as a usurper and taken to the Palace of Justice 617 01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:30,320 in Paris where the Parliament sits. 618 01:20:35,984 --> 01:20:39,901 (speaking in foreign language) 619 01:21:34,380 --> 01:21:37,220 Joan des Armoises is released 620 01:21:37,220 --> 01:21:39,615 and decides to keep a low profile. 621 01:21:39,615 --> 01:21:42,198 (somber music) 622 01:21:45,271 --> 01:21:49,188 (speaking in foreign language) 623 01:21:58,492 --> 01:22:02,300 In 1441, a Royal edict gave Jean de Siquenville 624 01:22:02,300 --> 01:22:05,050 the task of replacing at the harbormaster's office 625 01:22:05,050 --> 01:22:09,398 in Le Mans a certain Joan who called herself pucelle. 626 01:22:09,398 --> 01:22:12,148 (dramatic music) 627 01:22:13,700 --> 01:22:15,570 - [Reader] Charles, King of France, 628 01:22:15,570 --> 01:22:19,420 by the grace of God let it be known to all present 629 01:22:19,420 --> 01:22:22,060 and absent that we have received a humble entreaty 630 01:22:22,060 --> 01:22:24,513 from Jean de Siquenville, Squire of Gascony. 631 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,170 Said entreaty claims that for two years, 632 01:22:28,170 --> 01:22:31,020 Gilles de Rais, our adviser and Marshal of France, 633 01:22:31,020 --> 01:22:33,110 under whom the author of entreaty was, 634 01:22:33,110 --> 01:22:35,370 told the latter to go to Le Mans. 635 01:22:35,370 --> 01:22:37,790 There he should take charge of the men at arms 636 01:22:37,790 --> 01:22:42,050 in order to replace a said Joan who calls herself pucelle. 637 01:22:42,050 --> 01:22:44,190 And that if he went to Le Mans, 638 01:22:44,190 --> 01:22:45,690 he would be appointed Captain. 639 01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,900 (suspenseful music) 640 01:22:53,900 --> 01:22:56,170 - [Narrator] The same year, King Charles VII 641 01:22:56,170 --> 01:22:58,383 is reported to have met the false pucelle. 642 01:23:01,440 --> 01:23:03,020 The chronicle of Pierre Sala 643 01:23:03,020 --> 01:23:04,680 would tell the story much later 644 01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,003 having heard it from the King's chamberlain. 645 01:23:17,630 --> 01:23:21,930 - [Reader] The said lord told me that 10 years after 646 01:23:21,930 --> 01:23:25,703 a false pucelle was brought before the King. 647 01:23:28,070 --> 01:23:30,920 Some intended, by spreading rumors, 648 01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:33,363 that it was the first Joan resuscitated. 649 01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,610 The King, on hearing this news, 650 01:23:41,610 --> 01:23:44,350 ordered that she be brought before him. 651 01:23:44,350 --> 01:23:49,350 She came right before the King, who first astounded 652 01:23:49,540 --> 01:23:52,170 and speechless, greeted her gently 653 01:23:52,170 --> 01:23:57,170 saying my dear pucelle, welcome back in the name of God, 654 01:24:01,660 --> 01:24:06,107 who knows the secret that lies between you and me. 655 01:24:07,675 --> 01:24:10,425 (dramatic music) 656 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:19,037 (speaking in foreign language) 657 01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:28,400 Then, miraculously, having heard this word, 658 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:32,030 the so-called pucelle knelt before the King 659 01:24:32,030 --> 01:24:34,463 and there confessed her betrayal. 660 01:24:35,350 --> 01:24:40,190 At which those who had upheld it were severely punished, 661 01:24:40,190 --> 01:24:42,783 as is fitting in such a case. 662 01:24:49,420 --> 01:24:52,480 - [Narrator] Did she confess that she was an impostor? 663 01:24:52,480 --> 01:24:54,170 Who were those held responsible 664 01:24:54,170 --> 01:24:56,990 by the King and punished so severely? 665 01:24:56,990 --> 01:24:59,676 No document exists that can tell us. 666 01:24:59,676 --> 01:25:02,676 (suspenseful music) 667 01:25:09,290 --> 01:25:11,830 However, we do know that Joan des Armoises 668 01:25:11,830 --> 01:25:15,000 returned to Lorraine and rejoined her husband in Metz. 669 01:25:19,913 --> 01:25:22,413 (eerie music) 670 01:25:30,752 --> 01:25:34,669 (speaking in foreign language) 671 01:26:06,544 --> 01:26:09,294 (birds chirping) 672 01:26:14,340 --> 01:26:16,420 In the village of Jaulny near Metz 673 01:26:16,420 --> 01:26:18,983 is a similar portrait of Joan des Armoises. 674 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,670 It was in the grounds of this chateau that she came to hunt. 675 01:26:24,529 --> 01:26:28,446 (speaking in foreign language) 676 01:27:33,650 --> 01:27:36,400 (dramatic music) 677 01:28:36,627 --> 01:28:39,810 But where is the tomb of Joan des Armoises? 678 01:28:39,810 --> 01:28:42,393 (bell chiming) 679 01:28:45,890 --> 01:28:48,100 The region's old folks say her remains 680 01:28:48,100 --> 01:28:50,970 lie buried a few miles away under the choir 681 01:28:50,970 --> 01:28:53,490 of the church in Pulligny-sur-Madon, 682 01:28:53,490 --> 01:28:55,253 as a plaque once indicated. 683 01:28:58,494 --> 01:29:02,411 (speaking in foreign language) 684 01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:56,263 (somber music) 685 01:30:01,990 --> 01:30:06,230 1449, the very same year that Joan of Arc's mother 686 01:30:06,230 --> 01:30:09,160 and two brothers implored King Charles VII 687 01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,933 to rehabilitate the fallen heroine. 688 01:30:16,780 --> 01:30:18,933 The King orders the rehabilitation trial 689 01:30:18,933 --> 01:30:21,053 that would last six years. 690 01:30:25,170 --> 01:30:27,310 One after the other, witness accounts 691 01:30:27,310 --> 01:30:29,273 would paint the picture of a saint. 692 01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:35,900 - What's interesting about the rehabilitation trial 693 01:30:35,900 --> 01:30:38,220 is how suddenly people said the same kind of thing, 694 01:30:38,220 --> 01:30:41,993 as though their evidence had been constructed for them. 695 01:30:42,988 --> 01:30:46,905 (speaking in foreign language) 696 01:31:25,723 --> 01:31:27,770 - [Narrator] But the judge would have five centuries 697 01:31:27,770 --> 01:31:30,423 of doubt regarding the woman he'd had condemned. 698 01:31:33,300 --> 01:31:35,940 In the 19th century, Germany and France 699 01:31:35,940 --> 01:31:38,720 fight over Alsace-Lorraine, one of the biggest 700 01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:40,953 steel-producing regions of Europe. 701 01:31:45,490 --> 01:31:47,510 It is at this time that the French Church 702 01:31:47,510 --> 01:31:50,520 asks the Vatican to canonize Joan of Arc, 703 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,260 heroine of Lorraine, whose acts of bravery 704 01:31:53,260 --> 01:31:56,703 had enabled France to free itself from its invaders. 705 01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,820 Since Joan had been excommunicated and burnt at the stake 706 01:32:02,820 --> 01:32:04,890 after an ecclesiastical trial, 707 01:32:04,890 --> 01:32:07,893 it was difficult for the Church to consider her a martyr. 708 01:32:09,330 --> 01:32:12,490 But in 1891, Sister Jean Marie Sagnier 709 01:32:12,490 --> 01:32:15,070 is suddenly cured of ulcers and abscesses 710 01:32:15,070 --> 01:32:18,003 on her legs after repeated prayer to Joan. 711 01:32:21,060 --> 01:32:24,940 In 1902, Marie Antoinette Mirandol is suddenly cured 712 01:32:24,940 --> 01:32:27,983 from a perforating verruca after praying to Joan. 713 01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,773 In 1909, Joan becomes the blessed Joan. 714 01:32:35,210 --> 01:32:37,720 But to become a saint, one has to have worked 715 01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:40,223 two miracles recognized by the Church. 716 01:32:42,430 --> 01:32:44,820 The canonization proceedings show that France 717 01:32:44,820 --> 01:32:48,083 presented other people who were miraculously cured. 718 01:32:52,430 --> 01:32:54,931 The Bishop of Orleans goes to the Notre Dame 719 01:32:54,931 --> 01:32:57,430 de douleur hospital to recommend that patients 720 01:32:57,430 --> 01:33:00,500 seek cures by the hand of Joan of Arc 721 01:33:00,500 --> 01:33:03,710 because he needs miracles so as to obtain 722 01:33:03,710 --> 01:33:06,093 the canonization of the blessed one. 723 01:33:09,020 --> 01:33:12,620 The Vatican finally accepts two miracles, 724 01:33:12,620 --> 01:33:16,280 the healing of a perforating verruca and a heart murmur. 725 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:21,280 And in 1920, Benedict XV canonizes Joan of Arc. 726 01:33:22,250 --> 01:33:25,380 But whether she is a saint sent by God 727 01:33:25,380 --> 01:33:28,170 or a virgin manipulated by men, 728 01:33:28,170 --> 01:33:31,490 burnt alive or escaped from the stake, 729 01:33:31,490 --> 01:33:34,430 true Joan or false Joan, 730 01:33:34,430 --> 01:33:39,153 the light reveals darkness and the truth, mystery. 731 01:33:39,153 --> 01:33:42,153 (suspenseful music) 54951
