Joan of Arc - The Mad King - #1
🕑 Added 2019-07-04 14:00:02 +0000 UTCBefore we can really get into Joan of Arc's life, we have to get a bit into the civil war between the Burgundians and the Armagnacs. Time for some royal family drama with King Charles VI's madness and Queen Isabeau's friend Louis.

This is going to require a few re-watches to keep everything straight. and hopping back to the 100 years war series for reference. But still great to have you back narrating Matt!

To be fair, they have a Lies episode for these series.

Well great work as always.........but........from what I understand it is a little bit much to imply Bavaria was actually doing anything with Orleans. A lot of crap was said about her regarding all sorts of things (including adultery and incest etc) and all for political reasons and idle gossip. Maybe be firmer in declaring those rumors as unsubstantiated conjecture that was borderline wishful thinking on the part of Orleans' many enemies. He definitely done a lot of stupid stuff but that doesn't mean Bavaria needs to be brought into it does it? I definitely believe it was rumored, men in the middle ages loved throwing women under the bus; but we don't need to do that again unless we have actual evidence (even just a little) other than he was a selfish ass and a slut.

Gilles is so screwed up, I wouldn't be surprised if he was Marquis de Sade's ancestor.

Is there going to be a mention of her commander-in-arms Gilles de Rais: who was found guilty of using his authority to perform serial killings against innocent children?

Wait, at 8:17 it says Yolande of Aragon was Charles VII's step mother. How does that work if his father is still married to his mother? I assume you meant mother-in-law? Or was she married to Louis 1 Duke of Orleans, implying that Louis was Charles' father and Yolande's marriage made her Charles' stepmother that way?

Hung be the Heavens with Black, yield Day to Night!

King Henry V, too Famous to live long! England ne'er lost a King of so much worth.

AHHHHH, the five fingers and a thumb on that hand around 4:20 was terrifying.
