Ever heard the one about the teenage peasant girl who claimed God told her to win a war? No, this isn't a Monty Python sketch (though it's just as wild). This is the factual, bonkers, and frankly unbelievable story of Joan of Arc, narrated by someone who's still trying to figure out if the 15th century was just punking us all. Get ready, because "God Save the King (And This Teenage Girl He Sent)" throws you headfirst into a France so messed up, it makes your worst family dinner look like a spa day.
Forget your stuffy history lessons. Joan's journey from obscure nobody to armored hope-dealer is as baffling as it is brilliant. This isn't just a tale of divine intervention; it's about guts, grit, and the kind of stubborn faith that could move armies, all recounted with a narrator who's equal parts "are you kidding me?!" and "okay, that was pretty impressive."
Imagine being a fly on the wall as Joan, armed with a divine mandate and zero military experience, masterminds the lifting of the siege of Orleans, leads a blitzkrieg across the Loire, and actually gets Charles VII crowned King in the heart of enemy territory. You'll be cheering for this audacious teenager as she faces down English armies and skeptical French theologians, all while navigating a world that can't decide if she's a saint or a sorceress. But this isn't just about battles and coronations. "God Save the King (And This Teenage Girl He Sent)" promises a historically grounded yet hilarious and ultimately empathetic dive into a life so extraordinary, you'll wonder why it hasn't been given this sassy, straight-talking treatment before. You won't just learn about Joan; you'll feel the absurdity, the triumph, and the tragedy of her incredible story.
