She is found guilty forced to recant and the retracts and is burned at the stake on 30 May 1431 at Rouen. on 13 February 1449 King Charles VII orders a inquiry which in held from 4-5 March but since the Church held the trial only it had power to revise the decision any the findings of the royal inquiry were not further used.  The case was reopened partly as the result of a list of questions drawn up by preliminary inquiry started on 2 May 1452 the order for retrial is delivered on 11 June 1455 stating the court will sit so hear the complaint on 7 November when it does they ajouan for 10 days, when they reconvene they warn her mother Isabelle and at least one of her brothers that a trial could uphold the original verdict. On 20 December the representatives of  the family of the by then deceased Bishop appeared in court saying they no longer were defending the guilty verdict. A formal list of charges was presented to the court on 15 February 1456 among them were that contrary to law she was not held in a church prison where it was safe for her to wear a dress, tried in the diocese in which the alleged offenses happened or where she had was born The proceedings hand been started without evidence that Clergy loyal to King Charles VII had not been allowed to participate, that Cauchon had threatened to clerks not to record answers that helped her including appeals to the Council of Basil and the Pope which should have halted the trial while they were pending the use of Jeanne's own evidence to convict her, the lack of a lawyer during at least part of the trial, the circumstances of her abjuration and the fact that there is an exception to the rule against cross dressing when to protect against rape which she was raveled to  have  feared after having abjured. In the months following the trial heard from those who knew Jeanne as a child on 25 June  1456 Notice was given to any one objecting to a sentence of rehabilitation to testify. On 7 June the court declared the original sentence  non-existent, without value or effect.
