Rouen, 1431. A cold stone room. Dozens of theologians, several of them trained at the University of Paris. And in front of them, alone on a simple bench, a nineteen year old girl who could not read or write.

They asked her a question built so that no answer could save her.

In this episode, we look closely at two of Jeanne d'Arc's real recorded answers, and at what they show us about how she actually thought. We also look at something quietly extraordinary: how her words reached us at all, written down in French by the notaries of the very trial that condemned her.

Almost six hundred years later, those words are still here. And with a little context and patience, they are still within reach.
