The English greatly feared and hated Joan of Arc, because she turned the tide of The Hundred Years' War by raising the English siege of the French city of Orleans, which was the key to southern France, on May 1 thru the 9th, 1429, just 9 days.
She then led the French crown prince to Rheims, where he was crowned King
Charles VII of France.
The Burgundian allies of the English captured Joan on May 23rd, 1430, and sold her to the English. The king of France could have ransomed Joan or traded her for one of his important English prisoners, like the Duke of Suffolk or Lord Talbot, who was one of the greatest English leaders, but he did not, much to his shame. The English had Joan accused of heresy (they could not execute her for defeating them in battle, so they had to make up something), that she was a witch. Joan was found guilty in this mock trial and burned at the stake in Rouen, on May 30, 1431. 25 years later the pope had a nullification trial for Joan instigated, which found her innocent. Her mock heresy trial had numerous errors. Joan didn't even have her own lawyer; it was all planned out by the English, who hated her at the time and was completely illegal.
