Later this year we'll be getting a series on Joan of Arc! This was such a tight race with Otto Von Bismarck, who, as you know, always has a plan for how he'll get back into future Extra History polls... ;)

Joan of Arc: The Maid of Orleans

Joan's first trial happened in a French court—convincing local judges that she could not be married against her will. After all, she heard the voices of angels, and they'd told her to take a vow of chastity and save France. Thus begins one of the wildest tales of the Middle Ages, when the teenage daughter of a tenant farmer rallied an army, turned the course of a war, and won her prince a crown. But Joan's miraculous rise would end in just as steep a fall—one that, ironically, would see her canonized as the patron saint of France.
