Do any confirmed relics including 2nd class such as say her Breastplate exist of Joan of Arc Once a Knight is enough?
There is much controversy on this and of course the possibility of artifically aged or otherwise faked ex-movie or stage props. Various pieces of KnightLy armor have shown up in museums and exhibitions that were obviously made for a woman and had markings of a feminine nature(Stylized diamonds in heraldry signify the Lady of the house, or the whole family crest is enclosed in a vertical 4-point diamond/ Too many of these items have surfaced to fit the (Pat) museum explanations that Male Knights were merely wearing their Lady-Loves insignia in the field-thougg surely this happened., like in modern times girly pictures painted on the side of an aircraft or Tank. the only logical answer seems to be, Yes, Lady Jeanne, there must have been quite a few female knights, though they probably did not engage in active combat, though some accompanied their men=at=arms afield. Queen Isabella(columbus" patron), Mary of Burgundy (who died in a hunting accident, falling off her horse- I guess the medieval equivalent of an auto wreck!) and Isabell de Montfort who was a qualified Crossbow sniper. None of these gals , except accidentaly in the case of Mary of Burgundy , died in the field, with their boots on, thankfully, but I am sure it must have happened. To intentionally kill a woman, especially a noblewoman was an unpardonable sin among Christian Nobles= one wonders, how may things have evolved. Female Knights exist , as do female pages(roughly palace security officers and acting as aide de camp to a Noblewoman. there was also, or seems to be the Militant sounding rank of Adjutrix- female of Adjutant. Too much smoke for white dry ice from only one province. I understand the Italians had both Girl Knights and Female spies! Onward Mata hari! But bonafide Johannic relics we don:t know.
