The young peasant girl was Joan of Arc, a key figure during the Hundred Years' War between France and England. She claimed to have received visions from saints instructing her to support Charles VII and help reclaim France from English occupation. Joan led French troops to several important victories, including the Siege of Orléans, but was captured by the Burgundians in 1430. She was later handed over to the English, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake in 1431.

Who led the French to victory in battle and was later burned at the stake by the English?

Joan of Arc led the French to victory during the Hundred Years' War, notably at the Siege of Orléans in 1429. She was a peasant girl who claimed to have received visions from saints instructing her to support Charles VII and drive the English out of France. Captured by the Burgundians and handed over to the English, she was tried for heresy and burned at the stake in 1431. Her bravery and leadership made her a national heroine, and she was canonized as a saint in 1920.

Was Joan of Arc burned by her own people?

Answer 1Yes, she was captured by the FRENCH Bugundians and sold to the British. The FRENCH Catholic authorities who were British supporters tried Joan and condemned her to being burned at the stake. A FRENCHman was the executioner who ultimately killed Joan.Answer 2No, she was captured by the Burgundians and burned at the orders of the English.To use the term "French" at the time Joan of Arc was living to refer to the Burgundians would be an anachronism as would it be for French people under areas of English control. Burgundy was outside of the control of the French monarchy and was an ally of the English. While the Burgundians who killed her would have been French if they were born a century later (in exactly the same places) this does not make them French. Pierre Cauchon, the Bishop of Beauvais who convicted Joan of Arc of witchcraft and Geoffroy Thérage, her executioner, were ethnically French, but born in areas under English occupation at the time. Their loyalties were to England, not to the French monarchy.
