She should be added to this category.

Hello, can someone with access write a section about Joan's appearance and character? There are many descriptions of her. It's interesting. ] (]) 17:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Please link this phrase:


broken a promise of marriage
:I don't think a section devoted to her appearance would be appropriate. The documentation during her trial was focused on her testimony and clothing, not her personal appearance. Most descriptions of her come from testimony over 24 years after her death in 1450, when Charles commissioned Bouillé to open an inquest into Joan's execution, and after 1452, when d'Estouteville and Jean Bréhal began the second inquest. The descriptions would rely on memory over a quarter of a year old, testimony from over 100 witnesses varying reliability that was collected in a political context focused on showing her execution was unjust.
:Interpretations of her character are given in the narrative sections (e.g., her encouraging the assault on Jargeau and the pursuit that lead to Patay, her testimony and actions at the trial) as well as the legacy sections. ] (]) 16:29, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Joan of Arc was not transgender and did not believe she was anything other than a woman, she was not trying to be a man but rather break the glass ceiling. It was her strength as a woman that made her the icon she was and is today. ] (]) 13:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Gender and Sexuality of Joan of Arc

Because the gender and sexuality of Joan of Arc are often debated, I was wondering if it would be appropriate to include the categories Category:Historical figures with ambiguous or disputed gender identity and Category:Historical figures with ambiguous or disputed sexuality. This is in no way an opinion for or against these theories, it is simply recognizing that they exist. I added these categories to the article Cross-dressing, gender identity, and sexuality of Joan of Arc. Rylee Amelia (talk) 21:39, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm open to adding the category, the sub-article on the topic definitely illustrates some of the issues and the debate. But, I know that this has been a contentious issue with Joan. There are some editors with strong opinions on the topic, maybe they will weigh in. Wtfiv (talk) 16:38, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
