Juana de Arco

The incredible story of one of the most enigmatic figures of the Middle Ages. 1412. France is immersed in a long and bloody war with England for the throne of the country, which, in addition, is divided into two factions, the Burgundians and the Armagnacs, facing each other to take over the government of the kingdom during the regency of the estranged Charles SAW. Meanwhile, in the small village of Domrémy, a girl called to change the fate of Europe comes into the world: Joan of Arc. It all started with voices, those of Saint Michael, Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret, who entrusted him with a divine mission: to help the dolphin, the son of Mad Charles, to take over the French crown, return the English enemy to the sea and defeat to the Burgundian traitors. Thus, Juana, an ordinary teenager, was transformed into a warrior and led the Armagnac army to victory at a time when the place of women was in the home. Drawing from contemporary witnesses, enemies, and comrades-in-arms of the Maid of Orleans, Helen Castor, celebrated British historian and member of the Royal Literature Society, takes us to the tumultuous and fierce medieval France to relive the short but intense life of an extraordinary woman who violated the norms of men and became a legend.
