What is a history fact that is so stupid it doesn't seem real?

Idk if it's stupid but it sure as hell pisses me off.

Joan of Arc.

For as bad ass as she was, she was rather frail and got injured many times while leading the french army against the British.

The British got the superstition that because of how many times she recovered, and the fact that she was a woman leading an army, definitely made her a witch.

Later brittain surrendered and the king of France was like "oh let's just sign a peace treaty with them"

Well then being friends now the Brits convinced the French that Joan was in fact a witch and BOTH countries agreed that she must be burned.

So they burned her. At the stake. The woman who saved France.
