Jeanne d'Arc
For the PSP gamers out there, this might be a title you'll know. A tactical RPG called Jeanne d'Arc that's developed by Level 5. Actually this game is loosely based on a true historical story. (Of course, history are all humans... the game has some fantasy elements in it) Names of most of the characters in the game's very accurate, just like the real story.
But I'm not actually writing about the game XD
This historical event happened between 1412-1431. A girl born in Doremy who then became the savior of France. She helped Charles VII, the dauphin of that time be crowned the King of France. Betrayed by her king, captured by the English and killed- burned on a stake. Damn and she was only nineteen then... They fucking killed a young girl and accused her of being a witch. God and only after twenty-four years they found her innocent but what's the use? They killed her already ==;
After like... 500 years? They canonized her (as in giving her a title of saint).

AND WHO SAID I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HISTORY! XD (well only M'sian history... I like history actually)
P/S I'm addicted to online ordering and downloading stuff.
