Who Is Joan Of Arc Guilty For The Burgundian Trial
In the spring of 1430, King Charles VII requested Joan of Arc to Compiègne to face the Burgundian attack. Amid the fight, she was diverted from her stallion and left outside the town's entryways. The Burgundians kidnapped her and held her for a while, consulting with the English, who considered her to be an important purposeful publicity prize. At last, the Burgundians traded Joan for 10,000 francs.

Charles VII was uncertain what to do. Still not persuaded of Joan's perfect motivation, he separated himself and made no endeavor to have her discharged. In spite of the fact that Joan's activities were against the English occupation armed force, she was swung over to chapel authorities who demanded she be attempted as an apostate. She was accused

    In January 1649, King Charles I was executed after being charged with high treason due to political and religious reasons, some of which contributed to his refusal in accepting the peace settlements given to him by Parliament. Charles’ refusal to compromise was supported by the division that had emerged within Parliament on how to fight the civil war between the Political Presbyterians and Political Independents. The main factors of the failure to reach a settlement were religion, politics, Charles’ intransigence, the New Model Army and the emergence of radical ideas; all of which eventually concluded to Charles’ execution.…

    Jeanne-Louise fell to her knees at the news of her husband’s death. Oliver III de Clisson, her husband of 13 years, was publicly executed after surrendering to the English at the Battle of Vannes. Philip VI took this surrender as Oliver making a move against his own country, leading him to charge Oliver with treason. Jeanne-Louise lay a mourning heap on the floor, reflecting on her husband’s noble service, and the king’s cowardly suspicion. The longer she wept and let her husband’s death sink in, the more the rage grew inside her. Suddenly, Jeanne-Louise arose from the floor, and began her plot of revenge against the French.…

    The Hundred Years War was a conflict between France and England from 1337 to 1453 and it began because of two distinct reasons; first, Edward III, an English king, believed he should be crowned king of France since he was a close relative of the former king, Charles IV. However, Philip VI gained the throne. Secondly, multiple kings of both France and England believed they should control Guyenne, a part of French territory under English rule, because of the power it gave them (Encyclopedia Britannica 849). As the spite for one another grew, France and England went to war with one another and the fight for control continued over a century. Towards the end of the war, around the year 1429, the English were…

    Historical interpretations of the trio’s trial, its purpose and significance vary. In F. S. Siebert’s opinion, Prynne’s case illustrated how, “early Stuart kings continued on their way, extending repressive measures as their efforts to convince by argument and exhoration failed.” From historian Anne Patterson’s perspective early modern English writers had to adapt to a political environment in which censorship prevented open political discourse. Charles and Laud, from this perspective, sacrificed “the power of illusion”so that they might “preserve the illusion of power.” She further argues that “by making Prynne a martyr, Charles took and irrevocable step toward civil war and a polarized culture.” She also perceives Prynne’s experience to serve as a sign “that codes governing sociopolitical communication had broken down, that one side or the other has broken the rules. Like Patterson, Kevin Sharpe recognizes the symbolic value of Prynne’s trial but not as a sign of disintegrating political regime. In depicting the reign of Charles I as a time of consensus and…

    Nevertheless the factions within this created conflict that Charles’ religious policies exacerbated. Charles favoured the High Church Arminian group within the Church of England, because they stressed the God-like nature of the King. This was led by William Laud and with his promotion to Archbishop of Canterbury in 1633 this group obtained significant power and authority. They believed in ‘the beauty of holiness’ - that ceremonies, statues, priests and vestments were essential rudiments of Church service. The English Puritans were Calvinists and hated what seemed a return to the ‘popery’ of Catholicism. Laud was viewed by many as a “little thief put into the window of the church to unlock the door to popery.” In Scotland after the abdication of Mary Queen of Scots in 1567, a Presbyterian church had been established. Scottish Presbyterians were even more anti-Catholic than the Puritans. They believed that Bishops should be abolished and replaced by elders elected by a church council. Both Puritan and Presbyterian groups formed the majority and were invariably aware of the danger of a return to the Papacy. Catholicism was associated with the burnings of Protestants under Mary and with their enemies Spain and…

    Charles reign was infamous because of his inability to work with the Parliament and the consequences in thereof. Charles having a sympathetic stance on Catholicism, and perhaps a secret convert himself, passed laws favoring English Catholic subjects such as The Declaration of Indulgences. This act attempted to provide religious liberty to Roman Catholics by suspending previously established Penal Laws. A protestant parliament responded furiously, passing The Test Act of…

    In fact, she was even made a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. Yet she too did not have the cleanest record. During the Hundred Years War, the French were being beaten back by the English, primarily during the Lancastrian Phase. It was around this same time that Joan had visions from several different angels and saints, telling her to fight alongside the French in the war. King Charles, desperate to sway the course of the war, accepted. With her, the tide of the war turned in favor of the French. This did not sit well with the English who believed her to be a sign rom the Devil. So, when they eventually captured her they made sure she paid for it. They tried her before a court of only English citizens, accused of heresy. For both claiming she heard spiritual voices and wearing male clothing during battle. She was then convicted and burned at the stake for her crimes. Once again, even with such actions she was canonized for preaching her beliefs in the catholic church and fighting for them. However, this sort of behavior has not always worked out well for…

    Sure Henry is a very honorable king but he comes from the state of power and he would have been fine if he didn’t do anything about the french. Joan never was on top. Her pull on the pathos string makes us want to root for her. It's the underdog story that automatically turns her into a hero and the people that try to take her down the villains. When in reality she probably looked like this crazy farm girl who thought she could lead an army. Joan stands for what she believes and that is what makes it such an amazing story. She says, “If you tear me limb from limb until you separate my soul from my body you will get nothing out of me beyond what I have told you. What more is there to tell that you could understand? Besides, I cannot bear to be hurt; and if you hurt me I will say anything you like to stop the pain. But I will take it all back afterwards; so what is the use of it?”(Saint Joan scene VI). This pulls at the pathos string because she is laying into them what she believes and isn’t giving up. Because of this story it makes her more persuasive than King Henry.…
