may 28, 1431 - Scene 39
Description:

“I have come to the King of France,” said Joan, “from God, from the Virgin Mary, the saints and the victorious Church above; to that Church I submit myself, my works, what I have done or to do. You say that you are my judges, be careful about what you do, because truly I am sent from God and you are putting yourself in great danger!”
The holy heroine was condemned, as a heretic, relapse, apostate, and idolater, to be burned alive on the Place du Vieux-Marché in Rouen.
“Bishop, I die because of you!” she said, addressing Cauchon.
