Talk:Miley Cyrus vs Joan of Arc/@comment-25317047-20140818002807

There is one error in the explanations of the lyrics explained above. Joan of Arc never posed as a  boy. She always presented herself as a maid (virgin) from Domremy in eastern

France. Joan dressed as a male, but that (other than her armor in battle for obvious reasons) was wearing a man's hose would make it much more difficult for her to be raped by

the soldiers whe was constantly with. Twice Joan's virginity was tested by noble ladies, the first time when she arrived at Chalons in March, 1429, to meet the dauphin. The dauphin's

ladies examined her and determined "she was indeed a woman and a virgin." The second time was at her condemnation trial in Rouen, when the English Duke of Bedford's wife

also examined Joan and came to the same conclusion, " that she was a woman and a virgin".
