Summary
One in this series of dramas presented by Hallmark. In this drama about Joan of Arc, Joan is convinced that God has chosen her to save France and persuades the Dauphin to place her at the head of an army to march against Orleans. Following her victory and his coronation, the Dauphin disavows Joan. She is then brought to trial and charged with heresy by her English captors. The inquisitor demands that Joan be punished, and Bishop Cauchon begs her to confess her sins. When she retracts her confession, she is burned. Includes commercials.
