Did Joan of Arc fight against the English?

Answer 1

Actually, the French were responsible for Joan's death. The Burgundians were French who favored British rule. They captured Joan and dold 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.

Answer 2

Yes! They were then called the Burgundians, who had allied themselves with the

English. After they had captured Joan in a minor battle outside Compiegne, they,

actually a nobleman named John Luxembourg, sold her to the English for 10,000 livres.
Short answer: yes

Long answer: John II (France) had given Burgundy to his youngest son Philips as a reward for his bravery. It had since then become almost an independent nation.

When Charles VI went mad, the factions of his brother Louis (the Armagnacs) and that of Philips' son John (the Burgundians) became deadly enemies in the struggle for power. The Armagnacs allied with Charles VII and Burgundy allied with the English claimants to the French throne.

It were the Burgundians who captured and eventually sold Joan, while Charles VII did nothing to save her. Since Burgundy ultimately still belonged to France (even if they did not act like it most of the time), they can still be considered French nobles.

Answer 3

The English never captured Joan of Arc. She was sold to the English by the Burgundians. She was captured by the Burgundians when after an attack on a Burgundian Camp she called a retreat of her men and she took up the position in the rear. Her rear guard was overwhelmed during the retreat and she was captured.

Answer 4

Yes, Joan of Arc led French forces against the English, as well as the Burgundians who had sided with the English.

Answer 5

The Burgundians were French who supported the British. They saw a chance to make some money and jumped at it.
