She was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV.
When Joan was given a second trial 23 years after she had died she was cleared of all charges but some questions remained unanswered. In the late 19th century additional documents of her trials came to light that totally cleared Joan and verified that she had, indeed, been falsely accused and was a martyr. Martyrdom was, for all practical purposes, a first class ticket to sainthood. Joan was also a very virtuous woman, hated the sight of blood, even of her enemies, the English, and had her soldiers keep from swearing and being with prostitutes, whom she chased from camp. She attended mass and took the sactiments as often as whe could. In battle, 95 per cent of the time she held her banner and not her sword, because "she didn't want to kill anyone."
In her final battle against the Burgundians who supported the British, Joan was captured and sold to the Brits. They gave her a rigged Church trial at which she was found guilty of heresy and ordered to be burned at the stake
It took about 458 years after Joan died before she was declared a saint.
Yes she is. She was canonized in 1920.
