St. Joan of Arc chasing the evil woman from the army camp.
“Joan was chaste, and she loathed those women who follow the soldiers. I once saw her at Saint Denis, on the way back from the King’s coronation, chase a girl who was with the soldiers so hard, with her sword drawn, that she broke her sword. She was furious when she heard soldiers swearing, and scolded them fiercely, myself in particular, since I swore from time to time. When I saw her I restrained my language.”
