• Joan of Arc's Suit of Armour.
• Charles VII provided Joan of Arc with a suit of armour costing 100 écus, either 2 500 sols or 125 tournois pounds. This was not an outstanding sum and contributed towards the inventory that Joan established during her trial:.
• Fom that moment on, Joan wore a suit of armours taken from a Bourguignon, the value of wich remains unknown.
• The Saint Denis suit of armours was almost certainly not destroyed but possibly suffered the same fate of the sword that was offered to Sainte Catherine de Fierbois by a soldier, and then borrowed by Joan of Arc.

• SAINT JOAN OF ARC, VIRGIN—1412-1431.
• Savior of France and the national heroine of that country, Joan of Arc lives on in the imagination of the world as a symbol of that integrity of purpose that makes one die for what one believes. ... "In sewing and spinning," Joan declared towards the end of her short life, "I fear no woman. ...
• Joan's early life, however, must have been disturbed by the confusion of the period and the disasters befalling her beloved land. ... On one occasion, at least, Joan fled with her parents to Neufchatel, eight miles distant, to escape a raid of Burgundians who sacked Domremy and set fire to the church, which was near Joan's home.
• Joan was in her fourteenth year when she heard the first of the unearthly voices, which, she felt sure, brought her messages from God. ... Gradually they revealed to her the purpose of their visits: she, an ignorant peasant girl, was given the high mission of saving her country; she was to take Charles to Rheims to be crowned, and then drive out the English! We do not know just when Joan decided to obey the voices; she spoke little of them at home, fearing her stern father's disapproval. ... Joan, now sixteen, must first go quickly to Robert de Baudricourt, who commanded the Dauphin's forces in the neighboring town of Vaucouleurs and say that she was appointed to lead the Dauphin to his crowning. An uncle accompanied Joan, but the errand proved fruitless; Baudricourt laughed and said that her father should give her a whipping. Thus rebuffed, Joan went back to Domremy, but the voices gave her no rest. ...
• At last, she was impelled to return secretly to Baudricourt, whose skepticism was shaken, for news had reached him of just the sort of serious French defeat that Joan had predicted. ... Baudricourt now agreed to send Joan to the Dauphin, and gave her an escort of three soldiers. ... On March 6, 1429, the party reached Chinon, where the Dauphin was staying, and two days later Joan was admitted to the royal presence. ...
• When Joan asked for soldiers to lead to the relief of Orleans, she was opposed by La Tremouille, one of Charles' favorites, and by others, who regarded the girl either as a crazy visionary or a scheming impostor. ... After an exhaustive examination lasting for three weeks, the learned ecclesiastics pronounced Joan honest, good, and virtuous; they counseled Charles to make prudent use of her services. Thus vindicated, Joan returned full of courage of Chinon, and plans went forward to equip her with a small force, A banner was made, bearing at her request, the words, "Jesus Maria," along with a figure of God the Father, to whom two kneeling angels were presenting a fleur-de-lis, the royal emblem of France. On April 27 the army left Blois with Joan, now known to her troops as "La Pucelle," the Maid, clad in dazzling white armor Joan was a handsome, healthy, well-built girl, with a smiling face, and dark hair which had been cut short. ... Conspicuous in her white armor, Joan had led the attack and had been slightly wounded in the shoulder by an arrow.

• ST JOAN OF ARC, VIRGIN—1412-1431.
• The reason of this is, of course, that her personal narrative is so interwoven not merely with the complicated history of France and England during the period of her short and glorious career, but that considerable reference has to be made to events immediately preceding the stirring years that witnessed Joan's meteoric rise, triumphant progress, and tragic death. ...
• On 6th January, 1412, there was born at the obscure village of Domremy, on the banks of the Meuse, and near the fair and typically French province of Lorraine, Jeannette, or Jeanne, or Joan D'Arc, daughter of pious parents of the peasant class. ... Up to about the age of sixteen, Jeanne or Joan, to call her by her most generally known name, led the ordinary life of a peasant girl of her class, doing her part in ploughing, sowing and harvesting, tending the parental flocks, and at home spinning hemp and wool, and attending to other feminine domestic duties. ... Messire Guillaume Fronte, the worthy Cure of Domremy, later left a record that Joan was "a simple and good girl; pious, well brought up and God-fearing, and without her like in the whole village. ...
• The poor people of Domremy had more than once to flee before the bands of marauders who warred on the unhappy natives in the name of one or other of the contending parties, and on one occasion the humble home of the Darcs was plundered and burnt to the ground! This dreadful experience and also some old prophecies to the effect that the "fair realm of France" was to be delivered from the terrible English by a woman, made a great impression on little Joan, and the theme and all that it stood for, soon became her constant meditation and the subject of most fervent prayer.
• So many Scots and Frenchmen fell beneath the "cloth yard" hail of the English Archers, that the field resembled a shambles rather than a place of battler The news 'of this appalling catastrophe, which for the time stunned every French Nationalist, set Joan praying the more. The following summer (1425) Joan was one midday in her father's garden, when, as she said: "I heard a voice from God for my help and guidance. ...
• Joan was bidden to continue to be a good girl, to go often to Church and put her trust in God. ... Joan, needless to say, was dumbfounded! She, a poor, unlettered peasant girl, knowing nothing of the science of war or of the world, ordered to go forth and tell this mysterious occurrence and command to great lords and captains, and persons in authority generally I The idea might well seem too absurd even for the wildest dreamer, but the visions continued, and the Voices became more imperious than before!.
• Joan's whole conduct throughout this extraordinary episode, shows that she was no visionary, no dreamer nor schemer, eager to be led, but a girl of remarkable common sense and most rare prudence. ... Joan succeeded so far in getting more than one interview with de Baudricourt, though, of course, it was not until after many difficulties had been surmounted-harsh rebuffs, ridicule, wearisome delays all of which had to go towards the testing and perfecting of the wondrous maid. ...
• Armed with a letter from de Baudricourt and accompanied by Jean de Novelonpont, her two brothers, and a suitable escort, Joan, after a perilous journey through the territory of the Burgundians-the Allies of the English -reached Chinon on 6th March. ... Prelates, courtiers, lawyers, and the worldly-wise generally, had to be won over, but in the end, Joan, clad in bright armour and mounted on a coal-black steed, was allowed to have her way and proceed with the army detailed to raise the siege of Orleans. ...
• The English had raised a quantity of very strong earthworks and bastions about the city, and it is not quite clear how Joan and the relieving force with her came to pass, as they did, into the beleaguered place. ... But Joan did not rely on courage and enthusiasm alone. ... To the deadly arrow-volleys of the foe, Joan now opposed the concentrated fire of field-pieces, with the result that the old archer formations were broken up and their discharges rendered far less effective.

• Joan Jett.
• Internal arguing had been the main reason largely due to Joan Jett wanting to go punk while Lita Ford and Sandy West wanting to go heavy metal. ... Joan was the only one interested in the project and when she signed on and several actresses were hired to play the other girls, Lita and Sandy both jumped ship. ...
• That still didn't stop Joan Jett from persuing a solo career. ... She had been one of the main staples in The Runaways from it's earliest incarnations back in 1975, playing guitar and writing many of the songs, and when Cherie Currie left the group in 1977, Joan took over vocal duties full time. As The Runaways came to an end, Joan had met a man by the name of Kenny Laguna. Initially, he was to have produced an earlier Runaways album (which he declined), but had now been called to assist Joan with writing songs for 'We're All Crazy Now'.
• The meeting turned fruitful for not only were quite abit of material written, but Joan had found a lifelong friend (and producer) in Kenny. The movie eventually didn't pan out, but Joan and Kenny started concentrating on her solo career. In 1980, they had recorded a batch of songs to be released under an album titled 'Joan Jett', yet in a somewhat astonishing result, the record was turned down by no less than 23 record companies. ...
• Eventually finding a record label in Europe, 'Joan Jett' was released overseas to well-excepting audiences. ... Between that tour and the record sales, Joan and Kenny were able to save up enough money to start their own independent record label, called Blackheart Records.
• However, Joan and Kenny couldn't help feel that something was missing. It wasn't long before they realized that Joan could get a tougher image with her own backing band. ...
• However, O'Brien had left when Joan began spending most of her time performing in New York, and Lee Crystal was brought in as his replacement. With this line-up, Joan went into the studio and began recording a new album.

Great attempts were made at Joan's trial to connect her with some superstitious practices supposed to have been performed round a certain tree, popularly known as the "Fairy Tree" (l'Arbre des Dames), but the sincerity of her answers baffled her judges. ...
• It was at the age of thirteen and a half, in the summer of 1425, that Joan first became conscious of that manifestation, whose supernatural character it would now be rash to question, which she afterwards came to call her "voices" or her "counsel. ... Joan was always reluctant to speak of her voices. ... Anatole France, to explain these voices as the result of a condition of religious and hysterical exaltation which had been fostered in Joan by priestly influence, combined with certain prophecies current in the countryside of a maiden from the bois chesnu (oak wood), near which the Fairy Tree was situated, who was to save France by a miracle. ... There is not a shadow of evidence to support this theory of priestly advisers coaching Joan in a part, but much which contradicts it. ...
• Although Joan never made any statement as to the date at which the voices revealed her mission, it seems certain that the call of God was only made known to her gradually. ... Joan's voices became urgent, and even threatening. ... What this sign was, Joan never revealed, but it is now most commonly believed that this "secret of the king" was a doubt Charles had conceived of the legitimacy of his birth, and which Joan had been supernaturally authorized to set at rest. Still, before Joan could be employed in military operations she was sent to Poitiers to be examined by a numerous committee of learned bishops and doctors. ... It is regrettable in the extreme that the minutes of the proceedings, to which Joan frequently appealed later on at her trial, have altogether perished. ...
• Returning to Chinon, Joan made her preparations for the campaign. ... " Before entering upon her campaign, Joan summoned the King of England to withdraw his troops from French soil. The English commanders were furious at the audacity of the demand, but Joan by a rapid movement entered Orléans on 30 April. ...
