Joan of Arc is the most recognizable woman from medieval Europe,
yet the details of her life remain obscure to the general public
while heavily debated by specialists. Rising from obscurity to
insert herself into the court of French King Charles VII before
marching with his armies to combat the enemies of the crown during
the Hundred Years War, she was eventually captured, tried in an
inquisition, and then executed as a relapsed heretic at the age of
19. Joan of Arc: A Reference Guide of Her Life and Works focuses on
her life, her works, and legacy in fifteenth-century France. It
features a chronology, an introduction offers a brief account of
her life, a dictionary section lists entries on people, groups,
places, events, topics, terms, and medieval documents central to
Joan's life including her letters, contemporary perspectives, her
condemnation trial, and the nullification proceedings eventually
blessed by the pope to overturn the verdict of the condemnation
trial. This book aims to provide an understanding not just of Joan,
but of the culture that produced and ultimately destroyed her.
