World War II is such a large and engrossing conflict that few people realize that hiding within its depths was a French Civil War. For years, French fought against French as the country battled for control of its future. Would France's future lie with Nazi Germany or the Allies? Would France be able to reconcile with Britain or would they throw in with the Axis in hopes of securing a better position for itself in post-war Europe? From Africa to Paris, the French killed each other by the dozens and then by the thousands to find the answer to this burning question.

In this episode of Forgotten and Found, we unravel the tangled fates of two of medieval France’s most enigmatic figures: Joan of Arc, the saintly warrior who defied the odds, and Gilles de Rais, her loyal comrade turned infamous villain. How did one become a symbol of purity and divine mission while the other descended into darkness, accused of unspeakable crimes? Was Gilles always doomed, or did Joan’s execution set him on a path of self-destruction? We’ll sift through myth, legend, and historical fact to uncover the truth behind their legacies.

Most people look at Joan of Arc as a heroine, a martyr and a legend. Her tale is one of victory and sainthood. But that is not the whole story. When you peel back the layers and look at the story from a critical and historical perspective you see a different one entirely. The story of Joan of Arc is both tragic and maddening. Here is the dark side of Joan of Arc, the first of a two episode pair that covers some of the more unsavory characters and moments surrounding her.
