Joan of Arc was never Queen of France, or remotely close to it. She was a peasant girl who saw visions — she may have been schizophrenic — and insisted on joining and leading French armies trying to defend the nation against the English invaders. She was a kind of mascot who inspired the French — who probably would have eventually driven the English off anyway, since they had a much greater population than England had — but whose actual historical significance, is, actually, open to question.
