Joan of Arc's trial begins...
February 21 marked the 575th anniversary of the beginning of the trial for heresy against Jeanne d'Arc.
A selection of the transcript from her trial can be found here. Also here, including the accusations.
There are a lot of books and materials on Jeanne d'Arc, but here are a few selections to get started.
Régine Pernoud's Joan of Arc (By Herself and Her Witnesses).
For a dramatic interpretation with heavy emphasis on gender (from a lesbian perspective) read Carolyn Gage's The Second Coming of Joan of Arc.
And or a curious and completely different interpretation of the whole story, read Mark Twain's, Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc.
