Weather followed by The Making of a Saint
Joan of Arc was born about 1412, burnt as a heretic in 1431 and made a saint in 1920. Why did it take the Roman
Catholic Church 500 years to change its mind about her? Because of the detailed records kept at her trials, we know a great deal about
Joan's life and personality. But subsequent generations have ignored this information and turned her into one of the most potent myths of the 20th century. Editor BRUCE NORMAN
