This twitter thread provides expert commentary

In 1431, Joan of Arc was put on trial and burnt at the stake in the city of Rouen. 25 years later, a 2nd trial reviewed the case against her and declared Joan innocent.

The proceedings of both trials have now been digitised as part of our Medieval and Renaissance Women Project! pic.twitter.com/1Z5CdMJy6Z
