Joan had led the French to several military victories that had seriously embarrassed and humiliated the British army and they wanted her dead. As it would not have been proper to execute her for military actions she took they concocted false charges of heresy and witchcraft. An ethnic French bishop who favored the Brits found her guilty and ordered her burned at the stake, the standard punishment for heretics at the time. The bishop had ordered her to cease wearing men's clothing as it was forbidden by a mandate in the Old Testament. She signed an agreement to stop wearing men's clothing. However, at night the British authorities removed the women's clothing from her cell forcing her to, once again, put men's clothing. The bishop said she was guilty of breaking her agreement and declared her a heretic. 25 years after her death, Joan was exonerated of all charges and, instead,the bishop was found guilty of heresy. He had died so could not experience the same fate as Joan.
