Eh... what? Before she had her vision, she was just another French peasant. Why would she become a nun?

Maybe her vision/hallucinations inspires her to become a nun?

Anyways, there is no way being a nun would allow her to play the role she did OTL. It's just not possible.

To gain more recognition, I just think she could be a nun and do saintly work inspiring the other French and be declared a saint.

So, in order to gain fame, she would become a nun and live her days out in a quiet little convent where she would have absolutely no influence and no ability to lead anything?:rolleyes:

I was actually thinking of her being a nun transferred to Rome and supporting the Pope against the heretics and later declared a saint..

Against what heretics? Why would she go to Rome? Why would the support of a French nun make any difference?

Because of her visions she tries to support the Pope against the Hussites and other heretics and the Schismatics and she will support Rene of Naples and Charles the Dauphin as well.

I can't see that scenario happening, but I can see the possibility of Joan surviving and later becoming a nun, even a famous one (maybe an early Florence Nightingale-esque figure, going out and helping the soldiers?).

And it's probable that if Joan survives and keeps on fighting after the French King has stabilized his rule, he'll force her to become a nun or something similar; she'll be no longer useful to him.

.........What?:confused::confused::confused: So her vision will tell her to rescue the Dauphin and go to Rome?
 
She gets swallowed by a great, big fish during one of her walks outside the convent and gets spit out at the banks of the Loire in Orleans. :D
 
OK.... so MM's scenario happens and it has minimal impact on history.
Perhaps, being a nun will not work for her...I think being a Pope's concubine might make her more influential...but that will give her a reputation different in 180° than her OTL reputation.
 
You know every time I think of Joan of Arc, all I can think is "that must be fake" and yet I have all this history staring me in the face.
