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.
