Did Joan of Arc die in her sleep?

Answer 1

No, Joan of Arc died a much more horrible death. She was burned alive at the stake on the 30th of May, 1431 at the age of 19.

In August 2002 I came up with the idea of Joan having died from heat stroke. Here is the original article I put on the internet:

This same website contains the original transcript of testimony of witnesses.

These records contain nothing about the executioner saying the wood was piled high. Nor is there anything about his not being able to strangle her before the flames reached her. Nor is there anything about the wood being dry. Nor is there anything about the presence or lack of smoke. These are all fabrications dreamed up out of thin air and promulgated from one website to another, forever it seems.

Furthermore, if somebody is unconscious there is no pain.

What the records do reveal is that Joan was speaking in a clear voice right up to her last conscious moment. But this would be impossible if she were burning.
