description: We all know the story of Joan of Arc. A peasant girl who hears voices from God. A warrior leading an army to victory in an age that believes women cannot fight. The Maid of Orleans and the saviour of France. Burned at the stake as a heretic at the age of just nineteen. Five hundred years later a saint. Her case was heard in court twice over. One trial in 1431 condemned her; the other twenty-five years after her death cleared her name. In the transcripts we hear first-hand testimony from Joan her family and her friends: a rare survival from the medieval world. What could be more revealing?
