Actually, it was the Pope, not Charles, who overturned her conviction as it was in an ecclesiastical court and not a civil court which convicted her. Twenty-five years after her execution, an inquisitorial court authorized by Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, debunked the charges against her, pronounced her innocent, and declared her a martyr.
