I noticed that this was a possibility raised in this thread, but I thought the topic deserved a thread of its own.

Assuming Joan of Arc does avoid her capture, trial, and execution... well, I'll just quote @RogueTraderEnthusiast :

...assuming events organise themselves so that Joan of Arc gets herself involved in the 'Rescue of the Romans' upon some unsettling coincidence where shearrives in court as the news of the Coronation of Mehmed II reaches Paris? Could she have the pull/power/popularity to organise a large crusade on so short a notice?

Well, could Joan have effectively organized a Crusade to save the rump Byzantine? From where might she obtain such support? And assuming she does trade on her reputation to gather an impressive host, what would be their prospects in fighting the Ottomans?
