Joan of Arc utilized a conscious performance of chivalric and religious archetypes to inspire others.

“I mean there is a definite element of um of spectacle about the Jonavar phenomenon.”

Dominic Sandbrook asserts that Joan of Arc utilized her charisma to persuade the Dauphin and others that she was sent by God to save France.

“but I think above all ultimately what enables Joan to secure her meeting with the DOA is her own energy her own career charisma. So she has what um Marina Warner in her wonderful book on Jon of Art sums up as an astonishing ability to compel credence.”

Dan Snow asserts that the operational success and drive of the French campaign in 1429 were driven by the influence of Joan of Arc.

“We have contemporary sources confirming that the energy and the drive and even the operational plan for the campaign was coming from a teenage girl from a peasant background.”
