On this day in 1431, Joan of Arc was in the third month of her trial, which began in January 1431, following her capture in May of 1430. Sadly, she was on trial for another 2 months before her untimely and unjust death on May 30, 1431.
"On March 31 she was questioned again on several points about which she had been evasive, notably on the question of her submission to the church. In her position, obedience to the court that was trying her was inevitably made a test of such submission. She did her best to avoid this trap, saying she knew well that the church militant could not err, but it was to God and to her saints that she held herself answerable for her words and actions. The trial continued, and the 70 charges were reduced to 12, which were sent for consideration to many eminent theologians in both Rouen and Paris."
