Looking into threads about the Hundreds Years War and the importance of Orleans, it got me wondering what would have happened if Joan of Arc visions told her to fight for the English rather than expel them like in OTL.
What would have been her first course of action with such a mentality, would she still go to Orleans to prove herself or go to another theatre of the war.
How would the English Political, religious, and Military leadership have reacted? Would she still be screwed over by the politics or be rewarded.
Most importantly, wWhat would she do if she survives the war, retire to an abbey or go campaigning against the Turks or the Hussites?
 
Would, ITTL, Joan still come from Lorraine? Would it be possible that she come from England instead?
(Good God, what if she was Scottish?)

Regardless, I think that if ITTL Joan isn’t burnt, she would just go back where she came from, settle down & marry(she said a # of times, IOTL, that she just wanted to go home & help out her parents on
their farm).

How could she still be from Joan if she was of different nationality?
 
She is still French. It's just her visions tell her to back the English instead of the French
The "vision" thing existed because she and much of the French peasants already hate the English,so it wouldn't just change with a butterfly.
Also,Charles trusted Joan because he was in desperate situation then and really needed a miracle,the English would at best simply ignore a pro-English "Joan”,or (more likely) treat her as a heretic/spy right away.

Plot twist all she has to do to fulfill her "vision" is sit tight and do nothing while the english take over the place

British Joan:
*sips tea*
This is fine

What would you suggest then Philip the Good instead?
