Medieval and Manuscripts

Alternative historical interpretations of Joan of Arc

There are a number of revisionist theories about Joan of Arc which contradict the established account of her life. These include the theories she was an illegitimate royal child; that she was not burned at the stake; that most of her story is a fabrication; and that she escaped death at the stake. These theories have not gained significant acceptance among academic historians. These alternate historical interpretations are distinct from avowedly fictional representations of Joan in art, literature, and popular culture.
