Louis de Conte doesn't seem to be entirely fictional. Ronald Gower's Joan of Arc at Project Gutenberg mentions Joan of Arc's page, Louis de Contes, several times. Mark Twain actually cites one of these in a footnote. -- Reuben 19:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

"There is a distinct lack of humor, so prevalent in his other works."
I would guess that the person who wrote this has not actually read the book. Few have these days, perhaps. There are, in fact, numerous humorous passages, usually provided by the comic character called the Paladin, who would be at home in Huckleberry Finn. — Kevin Myers 13:02, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
This article notes correctly that 20th century reviewers were far far less kind to this book than 19th century reviewers. But the novel's reputation seems to be recovering in the 21st century, and it is now getting reviewed kindly again. A new section should be added to this article to reflect this. -- WickerGuy ( talk) 18:54, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
