#sorry sometimes you people are so dumb and so profoundly wrong with such astounding confidence

Feeling so strongly about the astounding confidence and lack of knowledge about the political and religious situation in 15th century France on that Joan of Arc post

#and the occasional lack of nuance when it comes to queer history #but mostly the ignorance of the fact that there was no such fucking thing as 'secular english forces' in the 100 year war #and there were not protestants #and literally everything else #oh it wasnt the catholics because her trial actually broke ecclesiastical laws of the time #yeah that was kind of a big feature of medieval catholicism have you heard of the reformation and counter reformation?? #people at the time were upset about that too and it very much was coming from the catholic church #like yeah it wasnt the central chirch that killed her but it was very much members of the catholic church doing it in the name of catholics #and yes the religious angle was covering political motives #but those political motives are also inextricably linked to religious motives #it was a political and religious war #motivated by different combinations of the two for each individual person and body #and using the religious to justify the political and vice versa #the church were the rulers and the rulers were the church #sorry sometimes you people are so dumb and so profoundly wrong with such astounding confidence
