His sights set on becoming the Archbishop of Rouen he and Jean d'Estivet against the wishes of Philip III of Burgundy sought to have Joan killed in her trial. Cauchon ordered his guards to take all female clothing from Joan's cell and replace it with male, resulting in Joan being seen as unchanged and ensuring her burning at the stake. 
Years later he suffered a heart attack right before Gabriel Laxart was about to kill him for his role in Joan's death
