#241 Was Joan of Arc Visited by Angels or Aliens?

But It Was Aliens

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether famous historical figure and Patron Saint of France Joan of Arc was visited by angels, demons, aliens or something else entirely. Joan, more likely Jeanne or Jehanette and who wasn’t from Arc, was born in 1412 and may have been the foretold one - a prophecy had foretold that an armed virgin would save France. That prophecy may have come from Merlin. Joan insisted on a meeting with the Dauphin, the uncrowned Charles the 7th and indeed, was eventually granted an audience with Charles whereby Joan was able to identify the man she had never met (the man who was at that time wearing somebody else’s clothing). This all somehow led to Joan accompanying military forces before beginning to command those forces in their continued success driving the English back. Eventually, Joan’s mission was successful - Charles was crowned king and France was pretty much saved. Joan’s desire to attack those who opposed Charles continued however and Joan was eventually captured before being handed over to the English for execution following a farce of a trial. The whole time, Joan conducted herself well. Joan was indeed executed before eventually becoming Patron Saint. But where did Joan’s messages come from? Those messages did indeed do as Joan herself claimed they would do. Some alternatives explanations are covered… All that and more on this week’s file.
