Joan of Arc, under the name Joan la Pucelle, is a character in Shakespeare's play Henry VI Part I. She is portrayed as sneaky and lacking in honour, which enables her to succeed against the honourable English. In the end her demonic familiars fail her and she is captured. She defends herself from the death sentence by claiming first that she is a virgin and second that she is pregnant.
Bear in mind that at the time Shakespeare was writing, Joan was not considered a heroine or a saint by the English. She was considered to be a witch.
