The story of Joan of Arc is well known. Bedford led the war of words against her, denouncing her as a witch and an unnatural hag in the service of the devil. She had declared that the purpose of her mission was to recaptue Orleans and expedite the coronation of French monarch; after she had completed the latter object she seems to have faltered. She was wounded during the military skirmish in Paris, and was then captured by force of soldiers led by John of Luxemburg . he sold her to Bedford, claiming a large ranson, and the Maid of Orleans was put on trial for witchcraft. The French king made no attempt to save her, and seems to have regarded her as no more than a casualty of war. In the spring of 1431 she was dragged to the stake in the marketplace of Rouen. ~ Page 336
