Put your text for the new page here. Joan of Arc was born on January 15th
[edit] Joan of Arc
It is said in the article on Joan of Arc that her legendary birthdate is January 6, but this cannot be ascertained. On January 6 this is correctly noted. So what is her birth doing on January 15? (Which is coincidentially my birthday :P)
- This is the first time I've heard January 15 listed as Joan of Arc's possible date of birth. I had heard January 6 — though I dismiss it as unlikely for reasons unrelated to the rest of the month. I wonder if whoever added it had a source (and if so, what it is). — AnnaKucsma (Talk to me!) 16:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
