Kathryn’s Reviews > Jeanne d'Arc: Héroïne diffamée et martyre > Status Update

things I have already learned in this book:

- Jeanne defended Charles at her trial (even though he had betrayed her)

- there’s a strong possibility that she was assaulted while in the Church’s prison

- she should have been executed as a political criminal (decapitation), but to ‘protect the honor of the holy church’, the Church charged her with heresy and burned her

…in case you wanted to be sad today
