One of the most significant figures of the war was Frances own Joan of Arc. She was only sixteen years old but insisted that she saw visions heaven. Her leadership was quite powerful and under her influence the French were able to take back portions of their land from 1429 to 1430. The English troops were pulling back and retreating. In 1430 Joan was captured and held captive in the Tower of Rouen awaiting her trial. She attempted to escape several times from her prison. Typically, prisoners of war are typically held for ransom; however Joan came from a poor peasant family. The King was criticized for not stepping in to assist. Joan was then tried and executed. Her crime was ‘heresy’ or an unorthodox change to a belief system. Joan was executed for dressing as a man in 1431.
