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.
