🕑 Added 2019-01-30 02:33:00 +0000 UTCLater 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.

Nice to finally have second female voted series. Poor Alexander is never going to win.

Can't care less about sexual orientation. One is a virgin and the other is very sexualy active.

Ah well. I suppose this will be cool too. Maybe we'll get another go at Bismarck Pt. 2. I don't actually know much about Joan other than pop legends and a rough outline of her life (and that whole unpleasant business with Gilles de Rais after her death). I'd like to see what else there is.

Noooo, I missed the voting! And I wanted more Bismarck!!! Ah, I guess Joan is fine, too...

His efforts to make Germany the preeminent power of mainland Europe. More interesting would be the aftermath of his leaving the German administration - how the alliances changed, how Germany grew distant from Russia, France became a power again. And how all those may have led to the First World War.

You mean that Julie famous for bisexual scandals while Joan died a virgin (unless she was raped by the English before her execution). Hope you guys don't want to connect Joan's disguise or that she cut her hair to some talk of sexual orientation or transgenderism.

I hope Shaw's 'Saint Joan' is mentioned, at least briefly.
Thomas Alfred Weaver
Fun fact; many English Protestants honor Joan.

That was a close poll!
Antti Björklund
Oh yes, La Pucelle!

Their sex lives to begin with... ;-)

Napoleon is a Subject that Extra History simply MUST cover in French History. I don't normally like Quoting Emperor Palpatine, but it is unavoidable. It is your Destiny.

In what way?
Ville Vuorela
Napoleon has been covered extensively elsewhere but what about his arch-rival Jean Victor Moreau? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Victor_Marie_Moreau" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Victor_Marie_Moreau</a>

This is going to be the total opposite of the julie d'aubigny story isn't it
Quinlan Vuong
I was going to assume that but the first series ended with his death. Maybe if they did one on Napoleon III same way they did Khosrau to Justinian
The rest of his life.

What would Bismark Part 2 entail exactly?
