Joan of Arc, who is she?

[matteus the inbred]

That brings back some memories form AOEII, I think it was La Hire or someone else who said "English longbows are good, but French cannon is even better!". Then you got some bombards to blast down the walls and the english.

i remember that! it was in zees cheezy French accent...the guy was Jean Bureau, a noted French commander and artillery specialist (he was made Royal Master of Artillery) who defeated and killed Sir John Talbot at Castillon in 1453, effectively the last engagement of the 100 Years War.

fighting chicks are very evocative, and most cultures have one...Boadicea, Amazons eg. i think female gladiators in Rome remain unsubstantiated though?
