Fact #93070
When:
Short story:
After being tried for heresy, Joan Of Arc is executed by burning while tied to a pillar at the Vieux-Marche in Rouen, France, Europe. Twenty five years later her trial will be re-examined, Joan will be declared to have been innocent, and in due course she will be made one of the Patron Saints of France. Her life and martyrdom will inspire two songs by
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark [Joan Of Arc and Maid Of Orleans] and one by Cradle Of Filth [The Death Of Love].
