009 - Joan of Arc

In this episode rather than exploring a topic as we have before, we look at one of the most fascinating characters from medieval history: Joan of Arc. We visited the site of her greatest triumph - Orléans on our holidays and we recorded some content while we were there. We discuss how this teenage peasant girl led the armies of France to an improbable victory that started to push the English out of France.

Over the summer we have not been able to stick to our fortnightly podcast schedule but hopefully we will back on track soon.
