Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d'Arc pronounced [ʒan daʁk]; c. 1412 – 30 May 1431) is


considered a heroine of France for her role in the siege of Orléans and
the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years' War against England.
After successfully leading several French military actions, she was captured, handed
over to English authorities, convicted as a heretic, and burnt at the stake in 1431.
Twenty-five years later, her conviction was formally overturned. Nearly 500 years after
her death, she was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
Joan was born to a peasant family at Domrémy in northeast France. In 1428, she
traveled to Vaucouleurs and requested to be taken to Charles, later testifying that she
had received visions from the archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and
Saint Catherine instructing her to support Charles and recover France from English
domination. Her request to see the king was rejected twice, but she was finally given an
escort to meet Charles at Chinon. After their interview, Charles sent Joan, who was
about 17 years old, to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief army. She arrived at the
city on 29 April 1429, and quickly gained prominence during the fighting. The siege was
lifted nine days after her arrival. Joan participated in the Loire Campaign, which
culminated in the decisive defeat of the English at the Battle of Patay. The French army
advanced on Reims and entered the city on 16 July. The next day, Charles was
crowned as the King of France in Reims Cathedral with Joan at his side. These victories
boosted French morale and paved the way for the final French victory in the Hundred
Years' War at Castillon in 1453.
After Charles's coronation, Joan and John II, Duke of Alençon's army besieged Paris.
An assault on the city was launched on 8 September. It failed, and Joan was wounded.
The French army withdrew and was disbanded. In October, Joan was participating in an
attack on the territory of Perrinet Gressart, a mercenary who had been in the service of
the English and their French allies, the Burgundians. After some initial successes, the
campaign ended in a failed attempt to take Gressart's stronghold. At the end of the
1429, Joan and her family were ennobled by Charles.
In early 1430, Joan organized a company of volunteers to relieve Compiègne, which
had been besieged by the Burgundians. She was captured by Burgundian troops on 23
May and exchanged to the English. She was put on trial by the pro-English
bishop, Pierre Cauchon, on a charge of heresy. She was declared guilty and burned at
the stake on 30 May 1431, dying at about 19 years of age. In 1456, Pope Callixtus
III authorized an inquisitorial court to investigate the original trial. The court nullified the
trial's verdict, declaring it was tainted by deceit and procedural errors, and Joan was
exonerated. Since her death, Joan has been popularly revered as a martyr. After the
French Revolution she became a national symbol of France. She was canonized in
1920, and declared a secondary patron saint of France in 1922. Joan of Arc remains a
popular figure in modern literature, painting, sculpture and music, and cultural
depictions of her continue to be created.

Birth and historical background


Further information: Name of Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc[b] was born sometime around 1412[c] in Domrémy, a small village in the
Meuse valley,[9] which is now located in the Vosges department within the historical
region of Lorraine, France.[10] Her parents were Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée. Joan
had at least three brothers and a sister;[11] all but one of the brothers was older. [12] Her
father was a peasant farmer of some means. [13] The family had about 50 acres (20 ha) of
land,[14] and her father supplemented the family income with a minor position as a village
official, collecting taxes and heading the local watch. [15]

1415–1429

  Controlled by Henry VI of England


  Controlled by Philip III of Burgundy
  Controlled by Charles VII of France

Joan was born during the Hundred Years' War, a conflict between the kingdoms
of England and France that had begun in 1337.[16] The cause of the war was
an inheritance dispute over the French throne.[17] Nearly all the fighting had taken place
in France, resulting in devastation to its economy. [18] At the time of Joan's birth, France
was divided politically. The French king Charles VI had suffered from bouts of mental
illness and was often unable to rule.[19] The king's brother Louis, Duke of Orléans, and
the king's cousin John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, quarreled over the regency of
France. The conflict climaxed with the assassination of the Duke of Orléans in 1407 on
the orders of the Duke of Burgundy. [20] This assassination began a civil war.[21] Supporters
of Charles of Orléans, who succeeded his father as duke and was placed in the custody
of his father-in-law Bernard, Count of Armagnac, became known as "Armagnacs";
supporters of the Duke of Burgundy became known as "Burgundians".[22]
Henry V of England made use of France's internal divisions when he invaded the
kingdom in 1415, winning a dramatic victory at the Battle of Agincourt.[23] Paris was taken
by the Burgundians in 1418.[24] During this time, the future French king Charles VII, who
was associated with the Armagnacs,[25] had assumed the title of Dauphin (heir to the
throne) after the deaths of his four older brothers. [26] In 1419, the Dauphin began peace
negotiations with the Duke of Burgundy, but the duke was assassinated by Armagnac
partisans during a meeting with Charles that was under a truce. The new duke of
Burgundy, Philip the Good, entered into an alliance with the English.[27] In 1420 the
queen of France, Isabeau of Bavaria, agreed to the Treaty of Troyes, permitting Henry
V to marry Charles VI's daughter Catherine of Valois, granting the succession of the
French throne to his heirs, and effectively disinheriting Charles. [28] This revived
suspicions that the Dauphin was the illegitimate product of Isabeau's rumored affair with
the late Duke of Orléans rather than the son of King Charles VI. [29] In 1422, Henry V and
Charles VI died within two months of each other. This left an infant, Henry VI of
England, the nominal king of the Anglo-French dual monarchy, but the Dauphin also
claimed his right to the French throne.[30]
Just before Joan arrived on the scene in 1429, the English had nearly achieved their
goal of an Anglo-French dual monarchy.[31] Henry V's brothers, John of Lancaster, 1st
Duke of Bedford and Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester had continued the English
conquest of France.[32] Nearly all of northern France, Paris, and parts of southwestern
France were under Anglo-Burgundian control. The Burgundians controlled Reims, which
had served as the traditional site for the coronation of French kings. This was important,
as Charles had not yet been crowned, and doing so at Reims would help legitimize his
claim to the throne.[33] During this time, there were two prophecies circulating around the
French countryside. One promised that a maid from the borderlands of Lorraine would
come forth to work miracles, and the other was that France had been lost by a woman,
[d]
 but would be restored by a virgin.[35]

Early life
Joan's birthplace in Domrémy is now a museum. The village church where she attended Mass is to the right,
behind the trees.

During Joan's youth, Domrémy was a village on the border of eastern France whose
precise feudal relation was unclear. [36] Much of it lay in the Duchy of Bar.[37] Though
surrounded by pro-Burgundian lands, its people were loyal to the Armagnac cause. [38] By
1419, the war had begun to affect the area. [39] In 1425, the village's cattle were stolen by
an unaligned brigand named Henri D'Orly.[40] In 1428, the region was raided by a
Burgundian force under Antoine de Vergy,[41] who set fire to the town and destroyed its
crops.[42]
Joan had her first vision during this time.[43] Joan testified that when she was thirteen,
around 1425, a figure she identified as Saint Michael surrounded by angels appeared to
her in her father's garden.[44] After the vision, she reported weeping because she wanted
them to take her with them.[45] Throughout her life, she continued to have visions of Saint
Michael, as well as Saint Margaret the Virgin, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria.[46][e] In
1428, a young man from her village alleged that she had broken a promise of marriage.
The case was brought before an ecclesiastical court in the city of Toul and dismissed.[48]
According to Joan's later testimony, it was around this period that her visions told her
that she must leave Domrémy to help the Dauphin Charles. [49] At the beginning of 1428,
the English had been besieging Orléans and had nearly isolated it from the rest of
Charles's territory by capturing many of the smaller bridge towns across the Loire River.
[50]
 The fate of Orléans was critical to the survival of the Armagnac kingdom because its
strategic position along the Loire made it the last obstacle to an assault on the
remainder of Charles's territory.[51] In May 1428,[52] Joan asked a relative named Durand
Laxart to take her to the nearby town of Vaucouleurs, where she petitioned the garrison
commander, Robert de Baudricourt, for an armed escort to take her to the Armagnac
court at Chinon. Baudricourt's sarcastic refusal did not deter her.[53] She returned the
following January and was once more refused,[54] but she gained the support of two of
Baudricourt's soldiers: Jean de Metz and Bertrand de Poulengy.[55] Meanwhile, she was
summoned to Nancy under safe-conduct by Charles II, Duke of Lorraine, who was ill
and thought Joan may be able to cure him. She offered no cures, but reprimanded the
duke for living with his mistress.[56]
Baudricourt agreed to a third meeting with Joan in February, around the time the
English captured an Armagnac relief convoy for Orléans at the Battle of the Herrings.
Metz and Poulengy's enthusiastic support for her,[57] as well as her personal
conversations with Baudricourt,[58] convinced him to allow her to go to Chinon for an
audience with the Dauphin.[59] Joan traveled with a small escort of six soldiers.[60] She
chose to wear men's clothes,[61] which were provided by her escorts and the people of
Vaucouleurs.[62]

Chinon

d'Auvergne

Joan's initial meeting with Charles VII took place at the Royal Court in Chinon in late
February or early March 1429.[f] She was aged seventeen[63] and Charles twenty-six.[64]
[g]
 Joan told him that she had come to raise the siege of Orléans and to lead him to
Reims for his coronation.[66] They had a private exchange that made a strong impression
on Charles,[h] but Charles and his council needed more assurance. [69] They sent her
to Poitiers to be examined by a council of theologians to verify her morality and ensure
her orthodoxy. The council declared her a good person and a good Catholic. [70] The
theologians at Poitiers did not render a decision on the source of Joan's inspiration, but
agreed that sending her to Orléans could be useful to the king [71] and would test if her
inspiration was of divine origin.[72] Afterwards, she was sent on to Tours, where she was
physically examined by women directed by Charles's mother-in-law Yolande of Aragon,
who verified her virginity.[73][i] After her examinations, the dauphin commissioned plate
armor for her, she received a banner of her own design, and had a sword brought for
her from underneath the altar in the church at Sainte-Catherine-de-Fierbois.[77] Around
this time, she began calling herself "Jeanne la Pucelle" (Joan the Maiden), emphasizing
her virginity, which was a sign of her mission. [78]

Before Joan's arrival at Chinon, the Armagnac strategic situation was bad but not
hopeless.[81] The Armagnac forces were prepared to survive a prolonged siege at
Orléans.[82] The Burgundians had recently withdrawn from the siege due to
disagreements about territory,[83] and the English were unsure about continuing it. [84] But
the Armagnac leadership's morale was despairing. [85]
The effect of Joan's presence on Armagnac morale was immediate. [86] She effectively
turned the longstanding Anglo-French conflict into a religious war, [84] inspiring devotion
and the hope of divine assistance.[87] Before she had joined the siege, Joan had dictated
a letter to the Duke of Bedford warning him that she was sent by God to drive him out of
France.[88][k] In the last week of April, Joan set out from Blois as part of an army ladened
with supplies for the relief of Orléans. [90]

Joan arrived at Orléans on 29 April 1429, meeting the commander Jean de Dunois,


[91]
 acting head of the ducal family of Orléans on behalf of his captive half-brother.
[92]
 Because Orléans was not completely cut off, Dunois was able to get her into the city,
where she was greeted with great enthusiasm.[93] Joan was initially treated as a
figurehead to raise morale,[94] flying her banner on the battlefield. [95][l] She was not given
any formal command[97] and was excluded from military councils.[98] But she quickly
gained the faith of the Armagnac troops, who believed she could bring them to victory.
[99]
 Over time, some of the Armagnac commanders would accept the advice she gave
them.[100][m]
On 4 May, the Armagnacs went on the offensive, attacking the outlying bastille de
Saint-Loup (fortress of Saint Loup). Joan was not informed of the attack. Once she
learned of it, she rode out with her banner to the site of the battle a mile east of Orléans.
She arrived just as the Armagnac soldiers were retreating after a failed assault. Her
appearance rallied the soldiers, who launched another assault and took the fortress.
[102]
 On 5 May, no combat occurred since it was Ascension Thursday, a feast day Joan
deemed too holy for fighting. Instead, she told a scribe to record a letter to the English
warning them to leave France. She had it tied to an arrow that was shot by a
crossbowman.[103]
The Armagnacs resumed their offensive on 6 May. They captured Saint-Jean-le-Blanc,
which the English had deserted.[104] Though the Armagnac commanders wanted to stop,
Joan encouraged them to launch an assault against an English fortress built around a
monastery called les Augustins.[105] It was successfully captured.[106] After the capture
of les Augustins, the Armagnac commanders wanted to consolidate their gains, [107] but
Joan again argued for immediate offensive action. On the morning of 7 May, The
Armagnacs attacked the main English stronghold, les Tourelles. Joan was wounded by
an arrow between the neck and shoulder while holding her banner in the trench outside
the wall on the south bank of the river, but later returned to encourage the final assault
that took the fortress.[108] The English retreated from Orléans on 8 May, ending the siege.
[109]

At Chinon, Joan had declared that she was sent by God. [110] At Poitiers, when she was
asked to show a sign demonstrating this claim, she replied a sign would be given if she
were brought to Orléans. The lifting of the siege was interpreted by many people to be
that sign.[111] Prominent clergy such as Jacques Gelu, Archbishop of Embrun,[112] and the
theologian Jean Gerson[113] wrote treatises in support of Joan immediately following this
event.[114] In contrast, the English saw the ability of this peasant girl to defeat their armies
as proof she was possessed by the Devil.[115]
Loire Campaign
After the victory at Orléans, Joan insisted that the Armagnac forces should advance
without delay toward Reims to coronate the Dauphin. [116] Charles was persuaded and
allowed her to accompany the army under the command of John II, Duke of Alençon,
[117]
 who collaboratively worked with Joan and regularly heeded her advice. [118] Before
advancing toward Reims, the Armagnacs needed to clear the way between Chinon and
Orléans by recapturing the bridge-towns along the Loire: Jargeau, Meung-sur-Loire, and
Beaugency.[119]
Political debates about strategy,[120] as well as the need to recruit additional soldiers,
[121]
 delayed the start of the campaign to clear the Loire towns. The Armagnac forces
arrived at Jargeau on 11 June,[122] and forced the English to withdraw into the town's
walls. Joan sent a message to the English to surrender, but they refused. [123] Joan
advocated for a direct assault on the city walls, which was done the next day. [124] Joan's
helmet was struck by a stone while she was beneath the town's walls. [125] By the end of
the day, the town was taken. The Armagnac took few prisoners and many of the English
who did surrender were executed.[126] The Armagnac army advanced on Meung-sur-
Loire. On 15 June, they took control of the town's bridge, and the English garrison
withdrew to a castle on the Loire's north bank. [127] Most of the army continued on the
south bank of the Loire to besiege the castle at Beaugency.[128]

In the meantime, the English army from Paris under the command of Sir John
Fastolf had linked up with the garrison in Meung and traveled along the north bank of
the Loire to relieve Beaugency.[129] Unaware of the approach of Fastolf's army, the
English garrison at Beaugency surrendered on 18 June. [130] The main English army
retreated toward Paris. Joan urged the Armagnacs to pursue, and the two armies
clashed southwest of the village of Patay later that day. At the Battle of Patay, the
English had prepared their forces to receive the Armagnac attack and ambush it with
hidden archers.[131] Instead, the Armagnac vanguard detected the archers and scattered
them. A rout ensued that decimated the English army. Fastolf escaped with a small
band of soldiers, but many of the English leaders were captured. [132] Although Joan
arrived at the battlefield too late to participate in the decisive action, [133] her
encouragement to pursue the English had made the victory possible. [134]
March to Reims and Siege of Paris
After the destruction of the English army at Patay, some Armagnac leaders argued for
an invasion of English-held Normandy. But Joan remained insistent that Charles must
be crowned.[135] The Dauphin agreed, and the army left Gien on 29 June to march on
Reims.[136] The advance was nearly unopposed.[137] The Burgundian-held city
of Auxerre surrendered on 3 July after three days of negotiations. [138] Other towns in the
army's path returned to Armagnac allegiance without resistance. [139] Troyes, which had a
small garrison of English and Burgundian troops, [140] was the only one to put up
opposition. After four days of negotiation, Joan directed the placement of artillery at
points around the city and ordered the soldiers to fill the town's moat with wood. Fearing
an assault, Troyes negotiated terms of surrender.[141] Reims opened its gates on 16 July
1429. Charles, Joan and the army entered in the evening, and Charles's consecration
took place the following morning.[142] Joan was accorded a place of honor at the
ceremony,[143] announcing that God's will had been fulfilled. [144]

After the consecration, the royal court negotiated a truce of fifteen days with the Duke of
Burgundy,[145] who promised he would try to arrange the transfer of Paris to the
Armagnacs while continuing negotiations for a more definitive peace. At the end of the
truce, the Duke of Burgundy reneged on his promise. [146] Joan and the Duke of Alençon
favored a quick march on Paris,[147] but the divisions in Charles's court and continued
peace negotiations with Burgundy led to a slow advance. [148]
As the Armagnac army approached Paris, many of the towns along the way
surrendered without a fight.[149] On 15 August, the English forces under the Duke of
Bedford confronted them near Montépilloy in a fortified position that the Armagnac
commanders thought were too strong to assault. Joan personally rode out in front of the
English positions in an attempt to provoke them to attack. They refused, resulting in a
standoff.[150] The English retreated the following day.[151] The Armagnacs continued their
advance and launched an assault on Paris on 8 September.[152] During the fighting, Joan
was wounded in the leg by a crossbow bolt. She remained in a trench beneath Paris's
walls until she was rescued after nightfall.[153] The following morning the assault on Paris
was broken off. The Armagnacs had suffered 1,500 casualties. [154] In September, Charles
disbanded the army, and Joan was not allowed to work with the Duke of Alençon again.
[155]

Campaign against Perrinet Gressard


In October, Joan was sent as part of a force to attack the territory of Perrinet Gressart, a
mercenary who had served the Burgundians and English. [156] The army then besieged
Saint-Pierre-le-Moûtier, which fell after Joan encouraged a direct assault on 4
November. The army then made an unsuccessful attempt to take La-Charité-sur-
Loire in November and December.[157] At the end of December Joan returned to court,
[158]
 where she learned that she and her family had been ennobled by Charles as a
reward for her services to him and the kingdom.[159][n]

Capture
Joan captured by the Burgundians at Compiègne. Mural in the Panthéon, Paris, c.1886–1890

Before the attack on Paris, Charles had negotiated a four-month truce with the
Burgundians,[161] which was extended until Easter 1430.[162] During this truce, there was
little for Joan to do.[163] In March, the Duke of Burgundy began to reclaim towns that had
been ceded to him by treaty but had not submitted to him. [164] Many of these towns were
in areas which the Armagnacs had recaptured over the previous few months.
[165]
 Compiègne was one of the towns that refused to submit, and it prepared for a siege.
[166]
 Joan set out with a company of volunteers to relieve the town. [167][o]
In April, Joan arrived at the town of Melun, which had expelled its Burgundian garrison.
[171]
 As Joan advanced, her modest force became larger as other commanders joined
her.[172] Joan's troops advanced to Lagny-sur-Marne and won a battle against an Anglo-
Burgundian force commanded by the mercenary Franquet d'Arras. He was captured,
and Joan consented to have him executed instead of ransomed. [173] Joan's forces finally
arrived at Compiègne on 14 May.[174] After a number of defensive forays against the
Burgundian besiegers,[175] Joan was forced to disband the majority of her force because it
had become too difficult for the surrounding countryside to support. [176] Joan and about
400 of her remaining soldiers entered the city.[177]
On 23 May 1430, Joan accompanied an Armagnac force which sortied from Compiègne
in an attempt to attack the Burgundian camp at Margny, northeast of the city. It was
defeated and Joan was captured.[178][p] She agreed to surrender to a pro-Burgundian
nobleman named Lyonnel de Wandomme, a member of Jean de Luxembourg's
contingent.[180][q] Luxembourg quickly moved her to his castle at Beaulieu-les-
Fontaines near Noyes.[183] After her first attempt to escape, she was transferred
to Beaurevoir Castle. She made another attempt to escape while there, jumping from a
window of a 70-foot (21 m) tower and landing in a dry moat.[184] In November, she was
moved to the Burgundian town of Arras.[185]
The English negotiated with their Burgundian allies to pay Joan's ransom and transfer
her to their custody. Bishop Pierre Cauchon of Beauvais, a partisan supporter of the
Duke of Burgundy and the English crown,[186] played a prominent part in these
negotiations.[187] The final agreement called for the English to pay the sum of
10,000 livres tournois to obtain her from Luxembourg.[188] After the English paid the
ransom, they moved Joan to Rouen, which served as their main headquarters in
France.[189][r]
Trial
Main article: Trial of Joan of Arc

The keep of the castle of Rouen, surviving remnant of the fortress where Joan was imprisoned during her trial.
It has since become known as the "Joan of Arc Tower".

Joan was put on trial for heresy.[192] on 9 January 1431 at Rouen.[193] Joan's captors


downplayed the secular aspects of her trial by submitting her judgment to an
ecclesiastical court, but the trial was politically motivated. [194] Both the English and
Burgundians rejoiced that Joan had been removed as a military threat, [195] fearing her
because she appeared to have supernatural powers that undermined their morale. [196] In
addition, she posed a political threat. Joan testified that her voices had instructed her to
defeat the English and crown Charles, and her success was argued to be evidence
Joan was acting on behalf of God.[197] If unchallenged, her testimony would invalidate the
English claim to the rule of France[198] and undermine the University of Paris,[199] which
supported the dual monarchy ruled by an English king. [200]
The verdict was a foregone conclusion. [201] Joan's guilt could be used to compromise
Charles's claims to legitimacy by showing that he had been consecrated by the act of a
heretic.[202] Cauchon served as the ordinary judge of the trial. [203] The English subsidized
the trial's cost,[204] including payment to Cauchon[205] and Jean Le Maître,[206] who
represented the Inquisitor of France,[207] for their participation. Over two thirds of the
clergy involved with the trial were associated with University of Paris, [208] and most were
pro-Burgundian and pro-English.[209][s]
Cauchon attempted to following correct inquisitorial procedure, [211] but the trial had many
irregularities.[212] Joan should have been in the hands of the church during the trial and
guarded by women.[213] Instead, she was imprisoned by the English and guarded by
ordinary soldiers under the service of the Duke of Bedford. [214] Contrary to canon law,
Cauchon had not established Joan's infamy before proceeding with the trial process.
[215]
 Joan was not read the charges against her until well after her interrogations began.
[216]
 The interrogation procedures were below inquisitorial standards, [217] subjecting Joan to
lengthy interrogations[218] without legal counsel.[219] There is evidence that the trial records
were falsified.[220][t]

des Beaux-Arts, Rouen, France

During the trial, Joan showed remarkable control. [223] She was able to induce her
interrogators to ask questions sequentially rather than simultaneously, refer back to
their records when appropriate, and end the sessions when she requested. [224] Witnesses
at the trial were impressed by her prudence when answering the questions posed to
her.[225] For example, in one exchange she was asked if she knew she was in God's
grace. The question was meant as a scholarly trap, as church doctrine held that nobody
could be certain of being in God's grace. If she answered positively, she would have
been charged with heresy; if negatively, she would have confessed her own guilt. Joan
avoided the trap by stating that if she was not in God's grace, she hoped God would put
her there, and if she were in God's grace then she hoped she would remain so. [226][u] To
convince her to submit, Joan was shown the instruments of torture. When Joan refused
to be intimidated, Cauchon met with about a dozen assessors (clerical jurors) to vote
whether she should be tortured. The majority decided against it. [228]
In early May, Cauchon asked the University of Paris to deliberate on twelve articles
summarizing the accusation of heresy. It approved the charges. [229] On 23 May, Joan was
formally admonished by the court.[230] The next day, Joan was taken out to the
churchyard of the abbey of Saint-Ouen for public condemnation. As Cauchon began to
read Joan's sentence, she agreed to submit and signed an abjuration.[231][v]

Execution
Public heresy was a capital crime,[236] in which an unrepentant or relapsed heretic could
be given over to the judgment of the secular courts and punished by death. [237] Having
signed the abjuration, Joan could not be put to death as an unrepentant heretic, but she
could be put to death if she was convicted of relapsing into heresy again. [238]
Joan of Arc's Death at the Stake, by Hermann Stilke (1843)

As part of her abjuration, Joan was required to renounce wearing men's clothes. [239] She
exchanged her clothes for a woman's dress and allowed her head to be shaved. [240] But
she was kept in English custody instead of being transferred to an ecclesiastical prison.
[241]
 She was returned to her cell and kept in chains.[242] Witnesses at the rehabilitation trial
stated that Joan was subjected to mistreatment and rape attempts, including one by an
English noble,[243] and that guards placed men's clothes in her cell, forcing her to wear
them.[244] Cauchon was notified that Joan had resumed wearing male clothing. He sent
clerics to admonish her to remain in submission, but the English prevented them from
visiting her.[245]
On 28 May, Cauchon personally went to Joan's cell, along with a number of other
clerics. According to the trial record, Joan said that she had gone back to wearing men's
clothes because it was more fitting that she dress like a man while being held with male
guards, and the judges had broken their promise to let her go to mass and to release
her from her chains. She stated that if they fulfilled their promises and placed her in a
decent prison, she would be obedient. [246] When Cauchon asked about her visions, Joan
stated that they had blamed her for adjuring out of fear, but she would not deny them
again. As Joan's abjuration had required her to deny her voices, this was sufficient to
convict her of relapsing into heresy and to condemn her to death. [247] The next day, forty-
two assessors were summoned to decide Joan's fate. Two recommended that she be
abandoned to the secular courts immediately. The remaining recommended that the
abjuration be read to her again and explained. [248] In the end, all voted unanimously that
Joan was a relapsed heretic, and she was to be abandoned to the secular power, the
English, for punishment.[249]
On 30 May 1431, Joan was executed at the age of about nineteen years old. In the
morning, she was allowed to receive the sacraments despite having been
excommunicated.[250] Afterwards, she was directly taken to Rouen's Vieux-Marché (Old
Marketplace), where she was publicly read her sentence of condemnation. [251] At this
point, she should have been turned over to the appropriate authority, the bailiff of
Rouen, for secular sentencing but she was not. Instead, she was delivered directly to
the English[252][w] and tied to a tall plastered pillar for execution by burning.[253] She
requested to view a cross as she died. She was given one fashioned from a stick by an
English soldier, which she kissed and placed next to her chest. [254] A
processional crucifix was fetched from the church of Saint-Saveur. She embraced it
before her hands were bound, and it was held before her eyes during her execution.
[255]
 After her death, her remains were cast into the Seine River.[256]

Aftermath and rehabilitation trial


Main article: Rehabilitation trial of Joan of Arc
Joan's execution did not change the military situation. Her triumphs had raised
Armagnac morale, and the English were not able to regain their momentum. [257] Charles
retained legitimacy as the king of France,[258] despite a rival coronation held for the ten-
year-old Henry VI of England at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris on 16 December 1431.
[259]
 In 1435, the Burgundians agreed to abandon their alliance with England by signing
the Treaty of Arras.[260] The war ended twenty-two years after Joan's death with a French
victory at the Battle of Castillon in 1453,[261] which led to the expulsion of the English from
all of France except for Calais.[262]

Pope Callixtus III granted permission for Joan's rehabilitation trial in 1455 after receiving a petition from her
family.

Joan's execution had created a political liability for Charles, implying that his
consecration as the king of France had been achieved through the actions of a heretic.
[263]
 On 15 February 1450, a few months after he regained Rouen, Charles had ordered
Guillaume Bouillé, a theologian and former rector of the University of Paris, to open an
inquest.[264] In a brief investigation, Bouillé interviewed seven witnesses of Joan's trial
and concluded that the judgment of Joan as a heretic was arbitrary. She had been a
prisoner of war treated as a political prisoner, and was put to death without basis.
 Bouillé's report could not officially overturn the verdict but it opened the way for the
[265]

later retrial.[266]
In 1452 a second inquest into Joan's trial was opened by Cardinal Guillaume
d'Estouteville, papal legate and relative of Charles, and Jean Bréhal, who had recently
been appointed Inquisitor of France.[267] Around twenty witnesses were interviewed by
Bréhal,[268] and the inquest was guided by twenty-seven articles describing how Joan's
trial had been biased.[x] Immediately after the inquest was completed, Guillaume
d'Estouteville went to Orléans on 9 June and granted an indulgence to those who
participated in the 8 May procession and ceremonies in Joan's honor that
commemorated the lifting of the siege.[269]
The inquest still lacked the authority to change the judgement of Joan's trial, but for the
next two years d'Estouteville and Bréhal continued to work on the case. [270] Bréhal
forwarded a petition from Joan's mother, Isabelle, and Joan's two brothers Jean and
Pierre, to Pope Nicholas V in 1454.[271] Bréhal submitted a summary of his findings to
theologians and lawyers in France and Italy,[272] as well as a professor at the University of
Vienna,[273] most of whom gave opinions favorable to Joan.[274] In early 1455, Pope
Nicholas V died, and Callixtus III became pope. Callixtus granted permission for a
rehabilitation trial and appointed three commissioners to oversee the affair: Jean
Juvénal des Ursins, archbishop of Reims; Guillaume Chartier, bishop of Paris;
and Richard Olivier de Longueil, bishop of Coutances. In turn, they chose Bréhal to
serve as Inquisitor.[275]
The trial began on 7 November 1455 at Notre Dame Cathedral when Joan's mother
publicly delivered a formal request for her daughter's rehabilitation. [276] During the course
of the rehabilitation trial, the depositions of about 115 witnesses were processed. [277] The
trial came to an end on 7 July 1456 at Rouen Cathedral. The court declared that the
original trial was unjust and deceitful; Joan's abjuration, execution and their
consequences were declared nullified.[278] To emphasize the court's decision, one of the
copies of the Articles of Accusation was formally torn up. The court decreed that a cross
should be erected on the site of where Joan was burned. [279][y]

Legacy

A 1903 engraving of Joan of Arc by Albert Lynch featured in the Figaro Illustré magazine


Joan of Arc has become a semi-legendary figure and is one of the most-studied people
in Middle Ages,[281] in part because her two trials have provided a wealth of primary
source material.[282]
Early legacy
Joan's legacy began to form before her death. Just after Charles's coronation at Reims
in 1429, the poet Christine de Pizan wrote her last known poem, Ditié de Jehanne
D'Arc,[z] celebrating Joan as a supporter of Charles sent by Divine Providence.[283] As
early as 1429, Orléans began holding a celebration in honor of the raising of the siege.
[284]
 After Joan's execution, her role in the victory encouraged popular support for her
rehabilition.[285] Eventually, Joan became a central part of the celebration, and a play was
written, Mistère du siège d'Orléans (Mystery of the Siege of Orléans),[286][aa] which features
her as the vehicle of the divine will that liberated Orléans. [289] Her celebration by the city
continues to this day.[290] Less than a decade after her rehabilitation trial, Pope Pius
II wrote a brief biography describing her as the maid who saved the kingdom of France.
[291]
 Louis XII commissioned a full-length biography of her around 1500. [292][ab] In
1630, Edmond Richer wrote a biography calling her la Pucelle d'Orléans (The Maid of
Orléans).[78]
Symbol of France
Joan's early legacy was closely associated with the divine right of the monarchy to rule
France.[293] During the French Revolution, her reputation came into question because of
her association with the monarchy and religion, [294] and the festival in her honor held at
Orléans was suspended in 1793.[295] In 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte authorized the
renewal of the festival[296] and the creation of a new statue of Joan at Orléans, extolling
her as representative of the genius of the French people in the face of national threat.
[297]
 Since that time, she's become a prominent symbol as defender of the French nation.
After the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, Joan became a rallying point for a
new crusade to reclaim Lorraine, the province of her birth. [298] The Third Republic held a
patriotic civic holiday in her honor,[299] and a series of French warships have been named
for her.[300] In World War I, her image was used to inspire victory. [301] During World War II,
all sides of the French cause appealed to her legacy. [302] She was a symbol for Philippe
Pétain in Vichy France,[303] a model for Charles de Gaulle's leadership of the Free
French,[304] and an example for the Communist resistance.[305] More recently, her
association with the monarchy and national liberation has made her a symbol for the
French far right, including the monarchist movement Action Française[306] and
the National Front Party.[307] Joan's image has been used by the entire spectrum of
French politics.[308] To the present day, Joan remains an important reference in political
dialogue regarding French identity and unity. [309]
Saint and martyr
See also: Canonization of Joan of Arc
Joan is a virgin saint in the Roman Catholic Church. Joan was seen as religious figure
in Orléans ever since the lifting of the siege, and an annual panegyric was pronounced
on her behalf in the city until the 1800s. [310] In 1849, the Bishop of Orlėans Félix
Dupanloup delivered a panegyric that attracted international attention [311] and, in 1869, he
petitioned Rome to begin beatification proceedings.[312] She was beatified by Pope Pius
X in 1909, and canonized on 16 May 1920 by Pope Benedict XV.[313] Her feast day is 30
May, the anniversary of her execution.[314] In an apostolic letter delivered on 2 March
1922, Pope Pius XI declared Joan a secondary patron saint of France. [315]
During her trial, Joan stated that her visions told her she would undergo martyrdom.
[316]
 She was not canonized as a martyr of the church,[317][ac] but since her death,[319] Joan
has been popularly revered as a martyr who suffered for her modesty and purity,[320] her
country,[321] and her faith.[322]
Joan's legacy as a religious figure extends beyond the Catholic Church. She
is remembered as a visionary in the Church of England with a commemoration on 30
May.[2] She is revered in the pantheon of the Cao Dai religion.[323]
Heroic woman

Frémiet, 1874

While Joan was alive, she was already being compared to biblical women heroes, such
as Esther, Judith, and Deborah.[324] She fulfilled the traditionally male role of a military
leader,[325] while maintaining her status as a brave and valiant woman. [326] Her claim of
virginity, which signified her virtue and sincerity,[327] was upheld by women of status from
both the Armagnac and Burgundian-English sides of the Hundred Years' War: Yolande
of Aragon, Charles's mother-in-law, and Anne of Burgundy, Duchess of Bedford.[328] Joan
has been described as representing the best qualities of both sexes: she heeded her
inner experience,[329] fought for what she believed in,[330] and encouraged others to do the
same.[331]
Cultural legacy
See also: Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc
Joan remains a major cultural figure. In the nineteenth century, hundreds of work of art
about her—including biographies, plays, and musical scores—were created in France,
and her story became popular as an artistic subject in Europe and North America.
[332]
 She is the topic of thousands of books.[333] Her legacy has become global, as her story
inspires novels, plays, poems, operas, films, paintings, children's books, advertising,
computer games, comics and popular culture across the world. [334]

Visions

Jeanne d'Arc, by Eugène Thirion (1876). Late 19th century images such as this often had political undertones
because of French territorial cessions to Germany in 1871. (Chautou, Church of Notre Dame).

In Joan's time, theologians assumed that visions could have a supernatural source.
[335]
 The assessors at her trial focused on determining the specific source of Joan's
visions,[336] using an ecclesiastical form of discretio spirituum (discernment of spirits).
[337]
 Because she was accused of heresy, they sought to show that her visions were false.
[338]
 The rehabilitation trial did not clarify the issue. Though it nullified Joan's sentence, it
did not declare her visions authentic.[339][ad] In 1894 Pope Leo XIII declared that Joan's
mission was divinely inspired, and by the end of her canonization trial in 1903, her
visions were seen as part of that mission.[341]
Contemporary scholars have suggested neurological and psychiatric causes as the
source of her visions.[342] Her visions have been conjectured to be hallucinations arising
from epilepsy[343] or a temporal lobe tuberculoma.[344] Others have implicated ergot
poisoning,[345] schizophrenia,[346] and delusional disorder.[347] One of the Promotors of the
Faith at her 1903 canonization trial suggested her voices may have been manifestations
of hysteria.[348] It has been argued that Joan's visions were a product of
creative psychopathy induced by her early childhood rearing[349] or that they were partly
an artifact produced by her interrogation during her trial. [350][ae] None of these explanations
has strong support, and each has been challenged. [af]
Although the source of Joan's visions has not been conclusively identified, her belief
that her visions came from God strengthened her confidence and resolve, [353] as well as
providing hope during her capture and trial. [354]

Cross-dressing

From the time of her journey to Chinon to her abjuration, Joan usually wore men's
clothes.[355] She cropped her hair in a male fashion.[356] When she left Vaucouleurs to see
the Dauphin in Chinon, Joan was said to have worn a black doublet, a black tunic, and a
short black cap.[357] By the time she was captured, she had acquired a more elaborate
outfit.[ag] During the trial proceedings, Joan is not recorded as giving a practical reason
why she cross-dressed.[359] She stated that it was her own choice to wear men's clothes,
[360]
 and that she did so not at the request of men but by the command of God and his
angels.[361] She stated she would return to wearing women's clothes when she fulfilled
her calling.[362]
Joan's cross-dressing became one of the principle articles in her accusation at her trial.
[363]
 In the view of the assessors, it was the emblem of her heresy. [364] Joan's final
condemnation began when she was found to have resumed wearing men's clothes,
[365]
 which was taken as an overt sign that she had relapsed by listening to her voices
again.[366]
Although Joan's cross-dressing was used to justify her execution, the Church's position
on it was not clear. In general, cross-dressing was seen as a sin, but there was not
agreement about its severity.[367] Exceptions were allowed too.[ah] Soon after the siege of
Orléans had been lifted, Jean Gerson claimed that Joan's male clothes and haircut were
appropriate for her calling, as she exposed herself as a warrior and men's clothes were
more practical.[371]
Other reasons for Joan's cross-dressing have been suggested. It has been argued that
it may have helped her maintain her virginity by deterring rape [372][ai] and signalling her
unavailability as a sexual object.[374] For most of her active life, Joan did not cross-dress
to hide her gender.[375] Rather, it may have functioned to emphasize her unique
identity[376] as La Pucelle, a role that was neither male nor female[377] but a model of virtue
that inspired people.[378]

Alleged relics

of Arc.[379][aj]

In 1867, a jar was found in a Paris pharmacy with the inscription "Remains found under
the stake of Joan of Arc, virgin of Orleans." They consisted of a charred human rib,
carbonized wood, a piece of linen, and a cat femur—explained as the practice of
throwing black cats onto the pyre of witches. Beginning in 2006, a forensic study
including carbon-14 dating and spectroscopic analyses was performed. The
researchers determined that the remains came from the balm of an
Egyptian mummy from the sixth to the third century BC.[381]
In March 2016, a ring believed to have been worn by Joan was sold at auction to
the Puy du Fou, a historical theme park, for £300,000.[382] There is no conclusive proof
that she owned the ring, but its unusual design matches Joan's own description of her
own ring at her trial.[383] The ring was reportedly obtained by Cardinal Henry Beaufort,
who attended Joan's trial and execution in 1431. [384] Arts Council England later
determined the ring should not have left the United Kingdom. The purchasers appealed
to Queen Elizabeth II, and the ring was allowed to remain in France. [385]
Revisionist theories
Main article: Alternative historical interpretations of Joan of Arc
The accepted version of Joan of Arc's life has been challenged by revisionist authors.
Claims include: that she was not actually burned at the stake; [386] that she was secretly
the half sister of King Charles VII;[387] that she was a member of a pagan cult;[388] and that
most of her story was fabricated in later times.[389]

reaching to the knees, or therabouts, a close-cut cap, tightfitting boots, and buskins, long

when she rode through enemy territory to get to Chinon,[369] and she was in the latter situation
after her abjuration when all she had available were men's clothes. [370]
35. ^ Scholars have pointed out that when Joan was imprisoned, wearing men's clothes would
have only been a minor deterrent to rape as she was shackled most of the time. [373]
36. ^ Playwright George Bernard Shaw surmises that Joan was the model for the sculpture.[380]
