Some people of that time did believe she was a witch. She was trialed for witch craft and burned at the steak.
No, the bishop Cauchon and the jury trying Joan of Arc wanted to try her as a witch, but upon examination they found she was still a virgin, and people believed that to be a witch one had to have had sex with the devil. So, since Joan of Arc was still a virgin, the court couldn't try her for witchcraft, and tried her for heresy instead.
