Joan Of Arc / Trial And Association With The Hundred
Years' War : 9 pages in length. Considered to be one of the
most influential women in the history of the world, Joan of Arc
was not initially perceived as such during the period she was
tried and convicted for witchcraft and heresy by being burned at
the stake. Looking back on her life's contributions, it is clear to
see that she was one of the first women to boldly and
courageously stand up for what she believed was right, in spite
of the fact that all around her who held the power construed her
actions as being witchery, betrayal and unorthodox. It turns out
that after the trial which ultimately took her life, none of this
was the truth, but rather that Joan was a person who stood
strong for that in which she believed, confident in her choices
and willing to give completely of her existence in exchange for
her stalwart virtue. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
