2020, centenaire de la canonisation de Jeanne d'Arc. Ce livre audio se propose, en quelques chapitres très clairs, de couper court aux pires bêtises qui circulent encore sur Jeanne.

Face aux hypothèses sensationnalistes que l'on peut lire ou entendre encore, Colette Beaune, avec la rigueur et l'exigence d'une grande historienne, rétablit ici la vérité : Jeanne fut-elle bergère ou fille d'un roi caché?
