On May 16, 1920 Pope Benedict XV canonized Jeanne d'Arc, who then became a patron saint of France.
The Burgundians arrested Jeanne by authority of the Inquisition, but lacked the nerve to kill her.
So they sold her to the English, who found Jeanne guilty of Witch craft and burned her at the stake on May 30, 1431, at the age of 19.
The Catholic Church pardoned her retroactively in 1452.
