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.

I assume you mean "apostasized", not "apostraphized", since turning people into apostrophes was not possible in the 1400s, nor is it today.
To apostatize someone is to declare that they are a heretic and can no longer be part of the religious community that they used to be a part of. It is a synonym of excommunicate. In 15th century France, to be apostatized would effectively mean that you were given a slow death sentence, since people would not be willing to associate with someone outside of their religious group.
Who was captured in 1430 by the English and burned at the stake in 1431?
1430 coincides with the year French heroine JOAN OF ARCalso known as "The maid of Orleans" was captured in Compiegne.
It is important to note that there is an error in the question. Joan of Arc was not made prisoner by the English, but by the Burgundian troops who where England's allies at that time. The Burgundians sold her to the English, and she was tried by an ecclesiastical court presided by French bishop Pierre Cauchon. After a long trial, she was found guilty of sorcery and was burned at the stake in the city of Rouen in 1431 when she was nineteen years old. Centuries later, the Catholic Church reviewed the decision of the ecclesiastical court, and declared her a martyr. She was canonized in 1920.
What was the impact of Joan of Arc on the world?
Joan of Arc helped Charles VII get crowned king, and restored the French monarchy. Her victories against the English during the Hundred Years War and subsequent execution helped galvanize the French people into fighting off the British, and remain a free country. She was later canonized as a saint, and is therefore a figure that people can turn and pray to in times of need. She is the patron saint of France, and a national icon. French politicians, including Napoleon, have all invoked her memory to give themselves legitimacy and to galvanize the French people. She has been a character in numerous literary works, including Shakespeare's Henry VI, Voltaire's La Pucelle d'Orleans, and Mark Twain's Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc. In some circles she is a feminist icon, because she was a woman who saved a country. Joan of Arc had many different impacts on the world.
Who was the actress buried in a Joan Of Arc Costume Twentieth Century?
This may help, and my memory serves me right. the Actress Lupe Velez, who died very tragically in l944 was laid out in a dress that might be considered a sort of borderline St.Joan get-up. It was a lovely white oufit with a printed Cross of Lorraine on the centerline of her breast, also her hair was set ina pageboy, very St. Joan-Ish. There was no armor plate but in a vague sense-and maybe the wartime atmosphere played a role here-you might considr it a (class a Dress) St. Joan Costume. Ms Velez was eventually buried in Mexico. There are photographs of her Body in various books dealinfg with Hollywood scandals. Once a Knight is enough!
