Joan was set up. The presiding bishop found an obscure passage in the Old Testament stating that women were not to wear men's clothing. The bishop had Joan sign a statement that she would no longer do so. British authorities, during the night, removed the women's clothing from her cell, leaving Joan nothing but men's clothing to wear. Joan also wore men's clothing to protect herself from rapists. The next time she appeared in court she was again wearing men's clothing. The bishop told her she had violated her agreement and found her guilty of heresy.
