Could Joan of Arc have done anything differently to avoid execution?

Joan of Arc certainly couldn't have done anything different, unless not to fight the English/Burgundians at all, which she felt she must do, and resulted in her capture and mock trial for heresy. The English, who feared and hated Joan,
who had soundly defeated them several times in battle, were going to have her executed for anything, no matter what!
Who could have done something for Joan was that ungrateful scumbag, King Charles VII, who could have either ransomed Joan, or traded either the Duke of Suffolk or Lord John Talbot, one of the greatest English commanders, who were both his prisoners at the time. But he just did nothing at all.
Most historians agree that Charles, who was very self-centered, was jealous of
Joan's tremendous military successes (which actually lead to Charles' coronation at Rheims in July, 1429), and of her great popularity with the people, especially the common people.
Charles, being a king, like all aristocrats greatly distrusted the common people, who eventually overthrew the king and his aristocracy in the French Revolution.

It is difficult to say if Joan of Arc could have done anything differently to avoid execution. Her fate was largely dictated by political and religious forces that were beyond her control. She could have recanted her claims and avoided death, but that would have compromised her convictions and beliefs. Ultimately, her courage and steadfastness in the face of adversity are what made her a celebrated figure in history.

How did people avoid catching the black plague?
The Black Death was an outbreak of plague that killed a third to half the people in Europe during the period of 1347 to 1352. At the time there was very little anyone could do to avoid it. I have read that some walled towns in England brought in food, raised their drawbridges, and waited until it passed, with some success, but I cannot provide a reference for this. Today, the bubonic plague can be treated with modern medicine.
