Main alternate history: Joan of Arc is born later

Lore: Following staggering English victory in various sieges, the French Kingdom had been overwhelmed militarily, and King Charles VII was forced to hand over the French throne to the English Henry VI.

English nobles moved into the colonial territory, oftentimes living lavishly and corruptly openly in view of the people. English execution of popular French nobles for speaking in favor of separating the two kingdoms once again had become more common, and English mistreatment of the peasantry bred popular dissent against occupation. There need only be a catalyst for revolution to spark.

When a peasant woman by, Joan, began preaching of her visions with the Gods, many French catholics began listening in. She proclaimed that God favored the Frenchmen, that it was divinely destined for England to be driven off the continent.

The English authority captured the woman and brought her to a theocratic court to be tried for heresy. The trial seemingly only existed to display a veneer of democratic jurisprudence to the people, and she was summarily executed by burning at the stake.

In her death, she became a martyr and symbol of the French struggle against the English. The people nicknamed her the “Queen of Orléans” and “Joan the Prophet” and began rallying behind her cause to expel the English from France. The proclaimed Joanites openly attacked English presence within the region, eventually igniting full revolution.
