Claude des Armoises (fl. 1400s)
French warrior. Fl. in 1400s.
Like Joan of Arc, claimed to have been instructed by God to wear male attire, and to undertake the life of a soldier; had trouble in Germany with the inquisitor of Cologne, then fled to Italy where she fought in the pope's army, killing 2 men; came to France, where she married a knight, Robert des Armoises, and also became mistress of the bishop of Metz; six years after the Maid of Lorraine had died at the stake, appeared as Joan(1436), and many people, convinced that their heroine had not been burned at Rouen, were persuaded that a woman soldier clad like a man could only be Joan of Arc; was received by the town of Orleans (1439), though she was later arrested and tried, only to resume her life as a soldier.
