Joan Darc, Broken Faith

What if King Charles VII rescued Joan of Arc before she was burned at the stake?

After being branded a heretic by the church and sentenced to death, Joan's view of the church changed.

So as she fought back the English, she burned churches and put priests on trial for heresy.

A common enough occurrence that after a brief inspection the English saw them as harmless. While they were focused on getting fresh supplies, they didn't notice the rest of her forces moving to the east and west, moving through the fields unseen. When the signal was given, her undercover force struck, using sickles and pitchforks and the other farming implements they carried to gut the English commander a
