My god that woman was industrious. Her day job, gathering used towels, making beds in Orleans, then fighting the English in her off-hours. No doubt she would have had a morning paper route as well if printing had been invented.

Bill D Maryland, she was executed I think. Burned at the stake. Could be wrong but I’m sure I read it somewhere

OzzysUndies, correct. The Dauphin could have prevented it but chose not to. Ungrateful coward.

Taranchalanche, she was found guilty of her heresy, but that is not why she was burned at the stake. She wore armour for protection to prevent rape. The men of the day couldn't accept that she dressed as a man. History.com has the sad story.

I recall a movie years ago. I forgot who played St Joan but Roddy McDowell played the Dauphin. I saw it on TV.

In my country everyone just calls her Joan Orleans (Ivana Orleanska), so that's how I knew the answer. We don't call her Joan of Arc, nor do we have translation for that.

OzzysUndies, Yes. In the Market place in Rouen. I've stood on the spot. Her statue is there. A beautiful cathedral too? Well worth a visit.

Funny really, if you asked a north American where Orleans is, they would probably say its in Louisiana. Think outside the USA Guys.

Randall Stone, Wrong. She was executed because God told her to drive the English out of France. He was burned as a heretic.
