I don't like using Wiki due to it's low standards of accuracy, and constant editing/replacement of fact, but this is an easier read on Joan a middle ages pope.

It's too late to get in the details, but none of these links are authoritative. The first link is an internet bulletin board discussion. The Wikipedia link about "Pope" Joan starts off with the admission that it's just a legend.
