Unfortunately, during a later battle against the Burgundians, she was thrown off her horse and captured by the enemy, who ransomed her to the English for 10,000 francs. Charles was unwilling to pay the price to have her returned to France because he was still doubtful of her claims. Thus, she was left in the hands of the enemy. They put her on public trial for 70 counts, including heresy, witchcraft and dressing like a man. However, her blameless humility made it difficult to publicly condemn her and they were forced to switch to private trials. She protected herself in military prison by tying soldier's clothes around herself, tying them with dozens of knots. Grasping at straws, they finally decided that this protection method qualified as dressing like a man and charged her to be executed. She was 19. Charles successfully retained his kingship through the remainder of the war and ordered an investigation into Joan's charges, revealing her to be innocent. He declared her a martyr and she is now known as the patron saint of France. Rachael Stories Whispered by K12
