Joan of Arc's trial and execution reflect the tumultuous socio-political climate of 15th-century France. Charged with heresy, her claims of divine guidance challenged both the Church and the monarchy's authority. Joan's unwavering faith and leadership in the Hundred Years' War galvanized French troops against English occupation, symbolizing national unity. Her trial was steeped in politics and gender bias, as she was judged by male clerics who dismissed her role in a patriarchal society. Joan’s martyrdom transformed her into a symbol of courage and national identity, ultimately leading to her canonization and enduring legacy in history.
