The Influential Women Behind Charles VII: Yolanda of Aragon, Joan of Arc, and Beyond In this Patreon episode from 2021, we are discussing the impactful women that did so much for king Charles VII of France. He really was just kind of a "meh" king, but he had some amazing women in his life. Namely Yolande of Aragon, Joan of Arc and of course Agnes Sorel to name a few. And then we end the episode with a ghost story because the women in Charles' life don't stop being influential beyond the grave!
