How tall was the real Joan of Arc and how much did she weigh?

Popular estimates based on known sizes of people in medieval times( sorry no authentic St.Joan armor costumes have been found ) seem to suggest she was tall for her times, at about 5 feet 6 Inches. The actress Ingrid Bergman was 5 Ft Nine inches so a bit tall. somewhat oddly , while she only lived to l9, the maid of Orleans is rarely professionally played by teen actresses. One notable exception was Lelee Sobieski . Historically, Joan should be played by Ingenue types, rarely is she, excepting amateur dramatic troupes and high-school plays, etc. Joan was actually 5' 2" tall. A French scholar, Adrian Harmand, in 1929 discovered an original order for clothing for Joan by the (then imprisoned in England) Duke of Orleans. He wished to make Joan a present of several articles of clothing for Joan's great service to him by raising the English siege of his city, Orleans, in May, 1429. One of the articles was a robe, "of fine Brussels cloth" which was to be 80 cm. long. Since a robe would go from Joan's shoulders to her knee (all men's clothing at that time ended at the knee), the scholar (Adrian Harmand) calculated Joan's height to be about 1.58 meters, or approximately 5 feet, two inches.
