That's where you're wrong, Kevlar. Armor did not improve during the Dark Ages, which started a short time after William's reign and lasted well into the 1500's. I mean it improved a little, but also remember this: Joan is a peasant, so she won't be able to afford the new technology. William, a nobleman, will have training and experience as well as beter funds so better weapons on his side.
