Joan of Arc Captured at Compiègne
Joan of Arc was captured by Burgundian forces allied with England during a sortie from Compiègne. She was pulled from her horse by an archer and taken prisoner, eventually sold to the English for 10,000 livres.
Joan's capture ended her military career; after a politically motivated trial for heresy, she was burned at the stake at age 19, becoming one of history's most enduring martyrs.
Outcome
Joan captured; burned at the stake May 30, 1431
