The Real Joan of Arc

The real story of Joan of Arc , not the legend, not the movie version. A peasant girl from a village nobody heard of broke the most important siege of the Hundred Years War, crowned a king at Reims Cathedral, and was burned as a heretic by the same church that later made her a saint.

This is the story of what actually happened — and the theological question her trial forces us to ask.
