Joan of Arc was tried for a witch and a?
She was not actually tried as a witch, but as a heretic. She was assaulted in prison (awaiting her trial) and her clothes were ripped to shreds. Rather than be vulnerable for sexual harassment, Joan put on men's clothes that were thrown to her. The English claimed that because she had chosen to dress as a man, she was going against God's word.
Why did the judges considered Joan of Arc dressing like a man as evidence that she a witch and hearing the voice of saints as evidence that she was a heretic?
The voices of saints had little to do with her case. They tried her for heresy and not witchcraft as they felt they had no proof of witchcraft. However, scripture prohibited women from wearing men's clothing, except in certain circumstances. In prison they told Joan that she must dress as a woman, which she did. However, at night someone took her dress from her cell and she had no choice but to don her men's again. The 'court' interpreted this as a second infraction and sentenced her to death.

Why did Joan of arc wore men clothes?
She was said to be short, stocky, sunbrowned, with dark eyes, a red birthmark behind her left ear, and a light feminine voice. Her black hair was bobbed short. In the "Procès de Réhabilitation" (the notes of her trial) she is described as a short, sturdy woman, with black hair. She wore man's clothes. Her hair had been cut short all around, just like a man's. Portraits of her are not available, the only one she sat for is missing. Other pictures show her with long black or light brown hair ,this may have been the artist's best guess. According to Jean D'Aulon, Joan of Arc's steward, who often helped her to get in and out of her suit of armor and slept many times in the same room as Joan, described her as being beautiful, strong, and well-formed (shapely). The Duke D'Alencon, one of Joan's military commanders, described her in the same way. D'Aulon stated that he often saw Joan's naked legs and breasts when he had to dress her wounds in battle. He said he never felt lust for Joan, pretty as she was, because he thought it would be shameful to have such feelings for such an inspiring and religious person. Every description of Joan's hair was that it was short and black. Her eyes were described as "large, dark, and grave". Adrian Harmand, a French scholar, discovered an order by the Duke of Orleans for several articles of clothing for Joan, of which one was a robe "of fine Brussels cloth" of 80 cm. in length. From this (a robe would go from Joan's shoulders to her knees), he determined Joan's height to be 1.58 meters, or about 5 feet, two inches, which would be short for a woman today but for the latter Middle Ages about normal or even a little above average.
What makes Joan of Arc stand out in her time?
She was a woman who did a man's job, she was a youth who did an adult's job. And she was a Christian who actually followed God. Those three things make her outstanding.
