Revisionist History? Or Dumbassery?

Dear Car Company Whose Commercial Claims That "Joan of Arc ruled for only one year":

Charles VII would probably take exception to this, seeing as how HE was crowned during Miss Of Arc's tenure as titular head of a branch of the army.

Jeanne d'Arc never "ruled" anything. She was a figurehead whose family was given noble status before she was famously executed for heresy. The end.

Your commercial makes me so angry that I commence raving the instant your bizarre pseudo-historical fact hits the screen, with the result that I don't even know which make of vehicle you're shilling.

Maybe I just need to get out more.
