Well, the fashion designer is quoted as saying "I was imagining Joan of Arc as a dark, romantic queen who was reincarnated in Madonna’s body," so I don't think historical accuracy was really a consideration.

Here is the previously mentioned song. I enjoy it because it shows how Joan is a symbol of strength and perseverance to so many. Especially when it comes to systematic oppression, that is easily discernable by recognizing the fragility of a patriarchal male ego. I was fortunate to have a lot of strong women as my catechism teachers. https://youtu.be/Uv40WdbfVw8

I disagree with the previous comment. I think an empowered woman not afraid to use her gifts to speak against the patriarchal dictates of the entertainment world be a delight to Joan.

Lastly when Joan was martyred at the stake as the flames were lit and she began to burn. She cried out a Frier to lift up the cross to her eyes so its the last thing she sees and cried out Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! before she was consumed... Madonna made a famous music Video of a flaming cross around which she dancing half naked about her sexuality... the Two women ARE NOT compare able.

Simply put. One will not understand Joan or her story without understanding the Power of God. As Joan often said she was nothing. She was simply God's Messenger. It for this reason the men of her day battle harden Knight such as Le Hire and Jean Metz flew to their knees and offered their loyalty and devotion to her cause. Even if that meant death. At the second trial the court asked Le Hire in essence.. "Look we know your reputation you lusty old French dog and womanizer and solider. Why didn't you take advantage of his girl?" Le Hire her most loyal friend. "When you were in her presence. You weren't in the presence of a Earthly Woman. You were in the presence of the Sacred you were in the presence of God.. You simply did not think of such Earthly matters. You simply fell to your knees wanting to be part of that Pure Light!" An at Orleans Joan Led her Men 8,600 at the head of the army with her Banner to Jesus n Mary.. Into History remembered to this very day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93JtAWXwwfo

Joan was a highly religious catholic and chaste. Madonna from a conservative catholic point of view (which Joan was) blasphemes the cross and Mary (Like a Virgin Song) Madonna made her entire career selling her sexuality. well like a Tramp. Joan wasn't against sexuality and woman hood though. She stated at her first trial. Her greatest wish if she could have it was to return home and settle down like any woman of her day. weave, raise a family go back to dresses and run her house. She did NOT like being a general of a nations army. But God so commanded it and she wasn't about to disobey God or her Voices which she believed to be his angels and saints. I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God's will. Joan of Arc I place trust in God, my creator, in all things; I love Him with all my heart. Joan of Arc If I be not in a state of grace, I pray God place me in it; if I be in it, I pray God keep me so. Joan of Arc Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King's daughter, I would have gone nevertheless. Joan of Arc As for Madonna .. well all she loves and obeys is Madonna. .

You know according to Le Hire and Jean Metz.. The one thing that caused Joan to fly into a rage was watching the "Camp followers" whores plying their wears among her soldiers while they camped after a march. Joan would rush into her tent and pull out the sword of Saint Catherine run out into the camp and beat them on the backs with the flat of the sword chasing them off. In fact she broke her Holy Sword doing that lol.. She would do far Far worse to Madonna.
