Joan of Arc’s Mother — 25 Years to Clear Her Name


600


A French peasant was burned as a heretic in 1431.
Her mother spent 25 years demanding a retrial.
In 1456, the Pope overturned the verdict.

Joan of Arc’s mother, Isabelle Romée, refused to accept the verdict against her daughter. She petitioned the Pope for 25 years — outliving her daughter by decades — until the Church finally annulled the conviction.

They don’t make parents like that anymore.
