WHAT'S INSIDE

 

The trap question, explained simply. What her judges actually asked her in 1431, and why any answer she gave could have condemned her.

Her first answer, word for word. "Si je n'y suis, que Dieu m'y mette ; et si j'y suis, que Dieu m'y garde." With the English translation, and a simple explanation of how she turned the trap into a prayer.

Her second answer, on the banner of Reims. "Il avait été à la peine, c'était bien raison qu'il fût à l'honneur." With the English translation, and what it reveals about how she spoke of herself.

5 words to keep. Un piège, l'orgueil, tenir tête à quelqu'un, la peine, l'honneur. Each one explained simply in French, with the English meaning.

Ta petite action. One small, calm reading step, so you finish the guide having genuinely read and understood one of Jeanne d'Arc's most famous answers in her own words.
