Actually, the French were responsible for Joan's death. The Burgundians were French who favored British rule. They captured her and sold her to the british. She was tried in a Church court of French clergy loyal to Britain and her executioner was a Frenchman.

The British wanted her dead because she had embarrassed and humiliated the British army. They thought that, if they removed her from leadership, the French army would become demoralized and the British could again gain the upper hand in the conflict.
