Last post, probably.

The Hundred Year's War lasted for another twenty-two years after Joan's death. King Charles VII held title as French king until the end of the war. Burgundy stopped supporting the English before the end of the war, and many of the French tactics that won battles are attributed to Joan.

Joan became quite a popular religious figure, and in Orleans the church arranged for a religious play to be made about Joan. In the 1450s, Joan was retried, declared a martyr, and found innocent of heresy.

Joan's popularity as a figure of the Catholic Church grew, and she was canonized as a saint in 1920.
