Write the following history cards on John Huss and Joan of Arc.
John Huss 80
(1415)
A Bohemian student at Oxford, John Huss translated and taught Wycliffe's teachings to the Bohemians. The church tried to stop him. When the Holy Roman Emperor called the Council of Constance in 1415 in order to end the Great Schism along with any "false teachings" being spread, the emperor ordered Huss to attend. An insincere trial there brought Huss to prison where he was almost starved to death, and then he was burned at the stake for "heresy against the church." John Huss' followers, the Hussites, continued his work, which provoked many people to search for truth in God's Word.

Read a translated letter of Joan of Arc. Read the third one listed there and dated c. March 22, 1429. In it she is telling certain officials to return French cities to France. You may choose to copy and print one of the letters to file in your notebooks under Europe: France.

The Life and Death of Joan of Arc 81
(1431)
On May 30, 1431, Joan of Arc submitted with forgiveness to those who lit the fire of her death. At age 17, she was given the lead of France's army which she first called to repentance for their sins. Then she led the military successfully, seeing Charles VII crowned King of France on July 16, 1429 at the city of Reims. She was later captured by Burgundians, French troops disloyal to France, and sold to the English, who put her on trial for "heresy," although she never spoke or worked against the church. The French rallied again after Joan's death to push the English out of France by 1453, ending the Hundred Years' War. King Charles and Joan's mother later led the re-trial that cleared Joan's name of any crimes.

Activities and Joan of Arc
Read the first two sections on this site about Geoffrey Chaucer. Remember that his influence over our language brought him the title "the father of the English language." He was the first poet buried at Westminster as he had been a clerk at the palace. The tradition of burying literary giants in this location began after Chaucer's burial there.

JOHN WYCLIFFE, "MORNING STAR OF THE REFORMATION" 78
(1377)
A scholar of Oxford University in England, John Wycliffe spoke openly against the abusive teachings and behaviors of the Roman Church and of priests who followed her. Wycliffe exhorted them all to return to the authority of God's written Word. He and his followers, the Lollards, then translated the Latin Bible into English and made copies of these Scriptures. Bible preachers could then study, teach, and share God's written Word with all English speaking people.

Geoffrey Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales 79
(1387)
Geoffrey Chaucer's famous Canterbury Tales portrays real life in the Middle Ages although it is a fiction work. The tales are in poetic form and number 17,000 lines! Though Chaucer is the author of all the tales, the poem presents them as if each of the common people on their pilgrimage to Canterbury (where Thomas a Becket was buried) are telling the tales to make the time pass more entertainingly. Through this work, Chaucer poked fun at human flaws. Geoffrey Chaucer became known as "the father of the English language."
