Heroine of France
On JudgeMarket, Joan of Arc trades at a durable premium among medieval figures, holding a remarkably stable multiple for someone who lived nineteen years. The bid stacks cleanly: battlefield success at Orléans, catalyzing Charles VII's coronation, martyrdom at Rouen, and eventual canonization — each event compounds the legend. What modestly caps the price is the fog of medieval sourcing and ongoing debate over whether her "voices" reflect visionary conviction or pathology, a question historians cannot close. Against Charlemagne, Joan prices lower on pure political legacy but higher on symbolic beta — she's invoked across the political spectrum in a way he isn't. Compared to Saladin, both are contested-crusading-era assets; Joan carries the martyrdom premium, Saladin the chivalric-statesman multiple. The market treats her as a low-volatility reference name: the narrative is set, the canonization is priced in, and re-rating is rare.
