Died:

30 May 1431
Asked at her trial if she knew she was in God's grace?

Church doctrine held that no one could be certain of being in God's grace. If she had answered yes, then she would have convicted herself of heresy. If she had answered no, then she would have confessed her own guilt.                          
                          
Executed by burning on 30 May 1431.

The technical reason for her execution was a biblical clothing law.

After she had been burned to death, the English raked back the coals to expose her charred body so that no one could claim she had escaped alive, then burned the body twice more to reduce it to ashes and prevent any collection of relics. They cast her remains into the Seine.
The executioner was Geoffroy Therage.
