Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the many factors which led to the execution of Joan of Arc by the British after she succeeded in driving them out of France during the Hundred Year War. The paper shows that many believed that she succeeded by the will of God and the mysticism movement of the time is also examined. The paper also shows that the issues that led to her execution ultimately involved the church, politics, and her popularity as a possible martyr.

From the Paper:

""The voice told me that it is God's will to deliver the people of France from the calamity that is upon them" (Trask 25). The voices are those of Saint Catharine and Saint Margaret. They counseled Joan of Arc during the end of Hundred Years War. The Hundred Year War consisted of many smaller battles that drove the English out of France (Lerner 381). It is believed by many that Joan of Arc drove the English out of France by the will of God. The Duke of Burgundy captured Joan and sold her to the English, who took her back to England, where she was tried by the church for witchcraft and heresy. Joan of Arc's death suggested that many issues contributed to her execution."
