The pageboy hair style- worn by both genders then, was better suited to the knight"s helmet she needed to wear in the field. Ask Major Virginie Guyot of the Patrol De France- the French well, you look it up! same reason she wears her hair short.

How did Joan of arc changed her appearance in 1428?

Did Joan of Arc pretend to be a guy?

The only time when Joan disguised herself as a male was when she was taken through British lines to meet with the Dauphin. She was dressed as a young paige. While she dressed in men's cothing on the battlefield, she did so because it was the only practical way to dress in a battle. Her soldiers knew exactly who she was.


How did Joan of Arc conceal herself?

On her trip to visit Price Charles she was disguised as a male Paige. Her hair was cut short and she wore the clothing of a man (or boy). Once she was given a position of command in the army she wore men's clothing as a necessity but not as a disguise. Her troops knew full well she was female.


Why did Joan of arc wore men clothes?

She was said to be short, stocky, sunbrowned, with dark eyes, a red birthmark behind her left ear, and a light feminine voice. Her black hair was bobbed short. In the "Procès de Réhabilitation" (the notes of her trial) she is described as a short, sturdy woman, with black hair. She wore man's clothes. Her hair had been cut short all around, just like a man's. Portraits of her are not available, the only one she sat for is missing. Other pictures show her with long black or light brown hair ,this may have been the artist's best guess. According to Jean D'Aulon, Joan of Arc's steward, who often helped her to get in and out of her suit of armor and slept many times in the same room as Joan, described her as being beautiful, strong, and well-formed (shapely). The Duke D'Alencon, one of Joan's military commanders, described her in the same way. D'Aulon stated that he often saw Joan's naked legs and breasts when he had to dress her wounds in battle. He said he never felt lust for Joan, pretty as she was, because he thought it would be shameful to have such feelings for such an inspiring and religious person. Every description of Joan's hair was that it was short and black. Her eyes were described as "large, dark, and grave". Adrian Harmand, a French scholar, discovered an order by the Duke of Orleans for several articles of clothing for Joan, of which one was a robe "of fine Brussels cloth" of 80 cm. in length. From this (a robe would go from Joan's shoulders to her knees), he determined Joan's height to be 1.58 meters, or about 5 feet, two inches, which would be short for a woman today but for the latter Middle Ages about normal or even a little above average.


What were Joan of Arc's major controversies?

She was a simple peasant while most soldiers came from noble families. She claimed to receive messages and visions from God and the saints.
