Aftermath After the war was over, the trial was investigated with the permission of Pope Callixtus III at the request of Joan’s mother and a General to determine whether the trial and its verdict had been handled justly and according to canon law. Brehal conducted an investigation in 1452 and made a formal appeal followed in November Brehal drew up his final summary in June 1456, which describes Joan as a martyr and implicated her sentencer’s with heresy for having convicted an innocent woman in pursuit of a vendetta.
