Charles the 7th made her part of the French military because she heard voices about him. But she had to convince him that she was trust worthy. Due to this, the French capture Orléans and Reim. While in the military she acted like a man and wore men's clothing. It was also said that Joan was wounded by a cross-bow before her capture. For her work in the military after he death, her family were ennobled.
Though she was more known for her mental and physical strength as a woman, some people suspect that she was a man. They thought this because it was unusual for a woman to be this strong. Also she wore men's clothing fueling this theory but it was at the time a men wouldn't of been burnt. A another theory was she was never burnt and lived to an age of 57, but this was disproved because there was record of her burning.
