On the morning of 30 May 1431, Joan was cremated on the market square in Rouen. Her ashes were scattered in the Seine to prevent her followers from recovering her remains as relics. This was to prevent her from being venerated as a martyr.

Nineteen-year-old Joan of Arc, who claimed to have received visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine, was burned at the stake in 1431 for heresy by an English-dominated tribunal. To the end, she continued to claim that the voices she had heard all her life were divine in nature
