WEBVTT - Season 06 Episode 30: The Extinguishable Fire (Pt.2 of 2)

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the second and final part of Unexplained,

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Season six, episode thirty, The Inextinguishable Fire. Having successfully routed

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the English army on May fourth, two days later, on

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>May sixth, fourteen twenty nine, Joan led a small army

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>to storm two more English forts, both of which were

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>also successfully captured. That evening, with the d'orphan's army now

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>having gained the upper hand in the battle for or Lyons,

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Joan and her fellow soldiers enjoyed a riotous dinner together.

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Spirits were high as Father Jean Pasquarell, who by their

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>had anointed himself as Jones's personal chaplain, took a seat

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>by the godly child. It was hard to deny the

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>wave of optimism that had swelled through the ranks since

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Jones's arrival, But as Pascurel gazed round the room, he

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>was troubled by the look on Joan's face as she

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>stared off into the middle distance. What is it? He

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>asked Joan, who seemed to be in some other place entirely,

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>finally snapped out of it. Tomorrow, she said, blood, she'll

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>flow from my body above my breast. I will be

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>wounded by a shaft. But I shall not die of it,

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>and I will remove it with my bare hands. Pascuerrel

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>could only stare at her in disbelief. She'd been right before,

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>there was no reason to doubt her now. At the time,

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the city of Orleans sat on the north bank of

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the Loire River. By May sixth, the English army had

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>been forced to consolidate most of its forces at two

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>major points on the opposite side of the river, a

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>large turreted gatehouse known as lay to Rell and a

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>large earthen rampart known as Boulevart. The French army was

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>planning an assault on both of them for the following day. However,

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 1>news of Joan's unnerving vision soon got back to her

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>military superiors. With victory and the soldier's morale so finally

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>in the balance, it was decided that Joan should stay

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>behind at the camp lest the unthinkable should happen, but

0:02:51.080 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 1>Joan ignored their orders. By the afternoon, the assault had

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>been progressing well as all about metal clashed on metal

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and the anguished cries of men rang out. Joan found

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>herself standing at the base of lay Torel Gatehouse, helping

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 1>to secure a ladder to scale the walls, when from

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere, there came a whistle through the air,

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>followed by a blood curdling scream. The French soldiers looked

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>on in horror toward Joan, her face pale and stricken,

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>her white armor quickly darkening with red, and the long

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>shaft of an arrow now sticking out of her neck.

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>As the seventeen year old Joan slumped to the floor,

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>a group of compatriots quickly dragged her from the battlefield

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and rowed her back to their camp. Before long, rumors

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>began to spread that Joan had been killed. The news

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>came as a shock to all the French soldiers, immediately

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>eviscerating their previously unshakable confidence, while for the English soldiers

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>a renewed sense of belief swept over them that all

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>was perhaps not divinely fated after all. But just as

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the English army seemed to have clawed back the advantage

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of figure in white, their neck thickly bandaged, was spotted

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>approaching on a white steed. Joan was alive and had

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>returned to finish what she'd started. Another cry went up

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>among the French soldiers as they made one final push,

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>repelling the English from the fort once and for all.

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>By the end of the following day, all of the

0:04:54.640 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>forts around or Leon had been captured by the Darphan's army.

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>The Siege of Lyons, as it would come to be known,

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 1>had finally been lifted. Joan, the Maid of Orlyan, as

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 1>some would come to call her, soon after, had delivered

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>exactly what the voices had apparently promised. With Orlyon secure,

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Joan traveled to near by Loche to meet with the Dwarfhan,

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>hoping to convince him that now was the time for

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>him to head to Rams and anoint himself the true

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>king of France. The only problem was that getting there

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>men traveling through miles of Anglo Burgundy territory. At first,

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the Darphan and his commanders were unsure about undertaking such

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>a potentially dangerous journey, wary of undoing all their recent gains,

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>But as Joan continually reminded them, with God on their side,

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>there was nothing to fear, and so in late June

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the decision was made to proceed. Forty thousand foot soldiers

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and thirty three thousand cavalry gathered in the town of

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Jeanne and from there. On June twenty ninth, fourteen twenty nine,

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the march began. Along the way, the army faced some

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>resistance from towns that were either loyal to the English

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>crown or the Duke of Burgundy. Some were bribed to

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>allow the Dauphin's army to rest and recuperate, others were

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 1>simply conquered. Plans were made to prevent the Dauphin at

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>his army from entering realms, but with the Duke of

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Burgundy Philip the Good, who had been tasked with keeping

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>watch over the city duck in Paris at the time,

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>in the end, the townspeople were powerless to resist. On

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Saturday July sixteenth, with Joan leading the way, the Dauphan

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and his army marched into Rance. The following day, at

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Bran's Cathedral, the stoic seventeen year old Joan watched on

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>from the front of the assembly, proudly displaying her white

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>banner as the Dauphan was crowned King Charles the Seventh

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>of France, just as she had prophesied all those months ago.

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Despite a failed effort to take back Paris from English control,

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>soon after, Joan was heralded for all her services, and

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>in December of that year she and her family were

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>all ennobled by then King Charles the seventh had returned

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to the Loire Valley, where he was joined by Joan,

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>who nued to counsel him. But Joan was restless. She

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>had not yet driven the English completely from France, as

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>she believed she was meant to do, and the voices

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>hadn't stopped either. Shortly after being crowned, King Charles the

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>seventh had negotiated a four month truth with the Duke

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 1>of Burgundy, Philippe the Good. This included ceding a number

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>of towns back to the Duke in the hope of

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>quelling any future military ambitions. However, the residents of those towns,

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>many having no doubt been moved by this seemingly divinely

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>inspired Joan, were reluctant to submit to him, and so

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the Duke of Burgundy ordered that they be taken back

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>by force. One such town was Compiegne, located about fifty

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>miles to the north of Paris. In March fourteen thirty,

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Philippe the Good demanded the people of the city surrender

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and allow themselves to be taken over or else he

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>would invade, but the townspeople refused his offer. As it

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>turned out, little did King Charlesnoe. The Burgundians had no

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>intention of stopping with the towns given back to them

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>by his treaty. In fact, they planned to take control

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>of most of the cities that lined the Ouas River,

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>with a view to once again helping secure the north

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:49.479
<v Speaker 1>of France for the English crown. Joan, however, had foreseen

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the danger, possibly going behind her king's back. Joan marshaled

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>four hundred or so troops to help take on the

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Burgundian as they made their way to Compigny. Joan, by

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>then only eighteen years old, and her army arrived at

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the town on May fourteenth. After getting involved in a

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>number of minor skirmishes with the Burgundian forces over the

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>next few days, by May twenty third, Joan and her

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>army were eventually pushed back toward Compigny. At some time

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 1>around midday on May twenty third, with the Burgundians gaining

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the upper hand. To spite Joan's protestations, a full retreat

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of French forces was ordered. As the soldiers hastily made

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>their way toward the security of Compigny's city walls. Joan

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 1>gallantly put herself at the front of a rear guard

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>tasked with protecting the retreating soldiers as they headed for

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the city gates. With the Burgundian soldiers upon them and

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.560
<v Speaker 1>still some way from the gate, Joan could only watch

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>with horror as the city's drawbridge was suddenly raised, leaving

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>her stranded outside the city. Perhaps in those moments she

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>reflected on the prophecy she'd made in March the previous

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>year that she would be captured by Midsummer's Day of

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that year, and perhaps felt an air of inevitability about

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>what happened next. With nowhere to run, Joan and her

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>troops were soon surrounded by Burgundian soldiers, who screamed for

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>her to give herself up. Joan refused, but as she

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>backed her horse away, a Burgundian crossbowman inched his own

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>horse behind her, then grabbed her tunic and yanked her

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>down into the mud. Unable to get back in her saddle,

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Joan had no option but to surrender. Joan was imprisoned

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>at a castle in Bolliers la Fontaine, ten miles further

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>north of Compiegne and by all accounts, is said to

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>have been treated reasonably well. True to her indomitable spirit, however,

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>she refused to accept her fate. Over the next few months,

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Joan was moved between numerous prisons as she made continued

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>efforts to escape, including at one time leaping out of

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>a tower into a moat, only to be captured again,

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>having knocked herself unconscious when she hit the water. For

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>all that she'd achieved and for what she represented to

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>supporters of King Charles the seventh, it was only a

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>matter of time before she ended up in the hands

0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of the English crown. In short, King Henry the sixth

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>court feared Joan more than anyone else at the time.

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 1>They feared the awe which she inspired, feared the way

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 1>she shook the church hierarchy in her apparent direct communication

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>with God, and hated her prolifically a young woman who

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 1>had dared to beat them. They could not put her

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to death for this, but they could have her tried

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>as a witch and a heretic. In late fourteen thirty,

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>she was moved to the town of Ruan King Henry

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the sixth headquarters in France and imprisoned to await her trial.

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 1>And so we return back to that grand makeshift court

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>room at the Castle of Ruant in February fourteen thirty one,

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>as the pale and malnourished Joan, her wrists and ankles

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>bound by chains, stands defiantly staring back at those sixty

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>pairs of eyes hungrie for blood. Leading her trial was

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Bishop Pierre Cushon, ally to the English Crown. Cushaon was

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>charged with accusing Joan of the crimes of heresy, which

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 1>was punishable by death, as well as blasphemy through her

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>wearing of traditional men's clothes and for acting on what

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>her accusers claimed to be demonic visions. What follow'd was

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a series of hearings lasting from February twenty first through

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to the end of May, in which Joan, despite having

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 1>no lawyers or any counsel at all save for her

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 1>apparent voices, is said to have displayed astonishing control in

0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>her answers, deftly avoiding saying anything that would unequivocally reveal

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>her to be a heretic. Throughout it all, she also

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 1>remained loyal to Charles, even though despite everything she'd done

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>for him, not wanting to be associated with the strange

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>young woman accused of witchcraft and heresy, He refused to

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>come to her aid. What came next remains unclear. On

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>May twenty fourth, Joan signed an abjuration, which, in theory,

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>acknowledged that she could not be considered a heretic and

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>was therefore spared the death penalty. Instead, she was sentenced

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to perpetual imprisonment and ordered never to wear traditional men's

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>clothing again. Over the next few days, it is said

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that Joan's guards goaded her with unsuitable clothes and even

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>forced her to wear them. Others, however, have suggested that

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Joan had deliberately continued to wear trousers on account of

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the better protection they afforded her from sexual assault. It's

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>rumored that a number of guards, and possibly even the

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Earl of Warwick, a loyal servant to King Henry the sixth,

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>attempted to rape her while she was in captivity. Either way,

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Bishop Cushon soon received word of Joan's continued transgressions, and

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>on May twenty eighth, he and a handful of other

0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 1>clerics paid her a visit, with Joan found to indeed

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 1>still be wearing men's clothes. She is then said to

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>have claimed that the voice she identified as Saint Catharine

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of Alexandria had been angry with her for signing the abjuration.

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>It was clear then to Cushon and his colleagues that

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Joan was a remorseless, determined blasphema who was beyond saving.

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 1>The following day, it was decided by the ecclesiastical court

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that Joan had relapsed into heresy. She was then handed

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.919
<v Speaker 1>over to an English secular court, where she was promptly

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 1>declared a heretic and a witch, and sentenced to death.

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:30.360
<v Speaker 1>On May thirtieth, fourteen thirty one, a then nineteen year

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:34.160
<v Speaker 1>old Joan was led out of her prison and taken

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to the Place de beau Marchais, where a huge crowd

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.919
<v Speaker 1>had gathered. In the middle of the square stood a tall,

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:47.879
<v Speaker 1>plastered pillar surrounded by a large pile of wood. Joan

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 1>was led up to the pillar, then ordered to stop

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and wait as her sentence was read out for all

0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to hear. As the words of condemnation rang out through

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:04.119
<v Speaker 1>the square over the hush of the crowd, Joan openly

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 1>sobbed as she forgave her accusers and asked them to

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>pray for her and King Charles the Seventh, the man

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>who would one day be the ruler of all France,

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>just as the voices had promised her. Joan was then

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:25.120
<v Speaker 1>grabbed by the executioner and placed against the pillar, which

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 1>had been made or the taller so that the whole

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>crowd could witness. The five foot two inch Joan burned

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to death. As the torches were lit, Joan shouted for

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 1>a crucifix. One was hastily fetched from a nearby church

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and brought back to her. Joan clasped it with her hands,

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the last thing she touched before they were placed behind

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 1>her and around the pillar and bound together. Then the

0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 1>pyre was lit. As the flames began to crackle and hiss,

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a local Dominican friar kept the crucifix where Joan could

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 1>see it, and quietly began offering the assurances of salvation,

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 1>promising Joan that she would be saved in the eyes

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of God. As the flames grew higher, Joan demanded the

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.199
<v Speaker 1>friar speak louder so she could hear his words above

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the roar of the fire. The crowd gasped as Joan's

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 1>clothes were set alight, and she cried out in agony.

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>As the fire continued to grow, its crackling and hissing

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 1>merging with Joan's cries. She is said to have screamed

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the name Jesus six times before finally falling silent. Though

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Joan is thought to have died of asphyxiation sometime before

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the fire really took hold, her body was left to

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 1>burn long after her death. However, her organs proved strangely

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:09.120
<v Speaker 1>resistant to the flames. It would take another two fires,

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 1>with Jones's diminishing body dragged back and forth across hot coals,

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 1>before it was turned entirely to ash. Despite the loyalty

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to the English Crown of those who participated in Joan's execution,

0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it is thought many were left afterward with the distinctly

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:34.920
<v Speaker 1>uneasy feeling that they had just participated in the burning

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:44.879
<v Speaker 1>of a saint. In an effort to erase or trace

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of Joan from the culture of France, it was decided

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to throw her ashes into the River Seine, so no

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 1>official place of mourning could ever be established, and those

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>who dared to speak fondly of the Maid of All,

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>even in hushed tones, faced strict and prompt punishment. However,

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>though Joan was gone, her prophecies continued to cast an

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>unsettling shadow across the English held regions of France. At

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:24.159
<v Speaker 1>her trial in March of fourteen thirty one, she'd announced

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 1>that within seven years the English crown would suffer a

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>far greater defeat than it had at or Leon, stating

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that they would soon lose everything. Sure Enough, on November twelfth,

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:44.360
<v Speaker 1>fourteen thirty seven, six years and eight months after Joan's declaration,

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the English Army was finally driven out of Paris. Historians

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>recognized this date as the beginning of the end for

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the English Crown's presence in France. The fourteen fifty three

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Battle of Castillon, another fifteen years later, at which the

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>English Army was decisively beaten, is considered to mark the

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>end of the Hundred Years War, after which the English

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Crown has never once again seriously threatened the sovereignty of France.

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Four years previously, in November of fourteen forty nine, Joan

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:28.720
<v Speaker 1>was posthumously acquitted of her crimes and remodeled as a

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>martyr in the public consciousness. Four hundred and fifty years later,

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen o nine, she was beatified and in nineteen

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty canonized as a saint, proving that although you can

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:51.320
<v Speaker 1>destroy the body, a legend as a little harder to extinguish.

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Over the years, with the distance of time only further

0:22:55.480 --> 0:23:00.080
<v Speaker 1>obscuring the real truth of just who Joan was, what

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:04.400
<v Speaker 1>it was exactly that she said or did. That legend

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>has only continued to grow and morph into something far

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:13.359
<v Speaker 1>more potent than any one person could possibly hope to

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>achieve in life. Many have questioned the various stories that

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.920
<v Speaker 1>have come to be associated with the one we now

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:27.119
<v Speaker 1>know as Joan or shand Arc. The facts of the

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:31.679
<v Speaker 1>matter are that Joan or shand Arc was not a

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:35.880
<v Speaker 1>name she used in life. Arc is not a real place,

0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and the words attributed to her an illiterate teenager, are

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 1>all second and third hand accounts. But perhaps now and

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>even then, the truth never really mattered. What mattered was

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>the story, the symbolism of what Joan came to represent,

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.959
<v Speaker 1>because whether you believe she truly was a child of

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 1>destiny led by God to emancipate an entire nation or not,

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>for many people just to believe it help to make

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:19.439
<v Speaker 1>that apparent destiny a manifest reality. To this day, her

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:23.919
<v Speaker 1>name continues to ring through the halls of history appealing

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>bell of freedom, fortitude and courage. This episode was written
