Despite initial doubts, Charles' allowed Joan to lead troops, and with her guidance the siege of Orleans was lifted and Charles was crowned King of France in Reims. However, Joan was later captured by Burgundian allies of the English and tried for heresy and witchcraft. She was found guilty and burned at the stake at age 19.
