Joan of Arc's Rouen, 1431
Rouen in 1431 is the English-occupied Norman capital and a great medieval entrepôt of cloth and river trade, where Joan of Arc was tried and burned after an English tribunal. The walk moves from the Seine and quays through timbered lanes, market squares and the cathedral precinct to the castle keep and city ramparts, showing everyday work, worship and commerce under occupation.
36 scenes — 23 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Rouen as it stood in 1431 (“Rouen”).
