Paladin D Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 I'm rather confused on this issue, who killed Joan of Arc?
Paladin D Posted May 18, 2004 Author Posted May 18, 2004 [quote name='Colleen' date='May 18 2004, 01:58 PM'] Wasn't it the English? [/quote] But wasn't Catholic clergy involved?
Crusader_4 Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 I think it was a bit of both i am not positive at all by any means but i thought that she was handed over to the English by the Burgundians and somehow the Church was involved in the sentence although not positive.
crusader1234 Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 She led France to victory, so the English caught her and wanted her dead. I guess the Church decided she was a heretic.
M.SIGGA Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 The local corrupt English religious authorities tried and convicted her of heresy on false charges and accusations fueled by nationalism and hatred for the French, but the English Civil Authority in Rouen actually burned her at the stake, not the Church.

the_rev Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 This is one person I've never ventured into studying about. But now with the show Joan of Arcadia, which actually may lead me to study her life.
Winchester Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 Pretty terrible, but my first thought was the Inquisitor on the grassy knoll...
Crusader_4 Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 It wasnt till very recently she was canonized either i think someone correct me if i am wrong but 1920 is the date that is jumping out at me.
