9 Chapter 8 Prison

CHAPTER 8 Prison Joan was now in the hands of the Duke of Burgundy. The English wanted to put her on trial. But they were not the only ones who wanted Joan of Arc. Many important Frenchmen in the church didn't like Joan, because she talked to saints and angels without any help or permission from them. The Catholic Church was willing to pay 6,000 francs for Joan, but the English king offered 10,000 for her capture. Only a king would be worth that big a ransom. One person offered no money for Joan: King Charles VII, the very man she had been working so hard to defend and help!

贞德现在在勃艮第公爵的手里。 英国人想要审判她。 但他们不是唯一想要圣女贞德的人。 教堂里许多重要的法国人都不喜欢琼，因为她在没有得到圣人和天使的帮助或允许的情况下与他们交谈。 天主教会愿意为贞德支付6000法郎，但英国国王出价1万法郎抓捕她。 只有国王才值这么高的赎金。 有一个人没有给琼钱:国王查理七世，她一直在努力保护和帮助的人!

While her enemies haggled over price, Joan was kept in a castle tower. She was afraid of what the English would do to her. She tried to escape by jumping out of a window sixty to eighty feet above the ground. Although she didn't get seriously hurt, she was found and returned to the tower.

当她的敌人为价格讨价还价时，琼被关在一座城堡的塔楼里。 她害怕英国人会对她做什么。 她试图从离地60到80英尺的窗户跳出来逃跑。 虽然她没有受到严重伤害，但她被发现并回到了塔上。

On November 21, 1430, the duke sold Joan for 10,000 francs to the English king. The church planned to hold a special trial, called an Inquisition, at the University of Paris to punish Joan for the crime of saying she had been sent by God.

1430年11月21日，公爵以1万法郎的价格把贞德卖给了英国国王。 教会计划在巴黎大学举行一场特别的审判，叫做宗教裁判所，惩罚琼，因为她说自己是上帝派来的。

Joan's trial would be held at Rouen (say: ROO-en), a French town that the English controlled. The English king of France, Henry VI, was living there at the time. He was only nine years old. The trial would be conducted by Pierre Cauchon, a French bishop who was loyal to the English. Her own king, Charles VII, still did nothing to help Joan. Even though she served him so well, she got little in return. But Joan never stopped being loyal to the king. The bishop made up a list of all Joan's crimes against the church—everything from sorcery (or witchcraft, the use of magic) to wearing men's clothes.

贞德的审判将在鲁昂举行，鲁昂是英国人控制的一个法国小镇。 当时，法国的英国国王亨利六世就住在那里。 他只有九岁。 审判将由忠于英国人的法国主教Pierre Cauchon主持。 她的国王查理七世仍然没有帮助贞德。 尽管她服侍他很好，她得到的回报却很少。 但贞德从未停止对国王的忠诚。 主教列出了琼对教会犯下的所有罪行——从巫术(或巫术，使用魔法)到穿男人的衣服。

The Inquisition In the twelfth century, the Catholic Church began holding trials to question and punish anyone they suspected of having beliefs that went against the church's teachings. Their targets included Jews, Muslims, and heretics—people who spoke out against the church and its teachings. The person on trial was ordered to admit they were wrong. If they refused, they were tortured. The church had four major Inquisitions between the twelfth century and the mid- 1800s: the Medieval, the Spanish, the Portuguese, and the Roman. Joan's trial was part of the Medieval Inquisition.

宗教裁判所在12世纪，天主教会开始举行审判，质疑和惩罚任何他们怀疑有违背教会教义的信仰的人。 他们的目标包括犹太人、穆斯林和异教徒——那些公开反对教会及其教义的人。 受审的人被命令承认他们错了。 如果他们拒绝，就会受到折磨。 从12世纪到19世纪中期，教会经历了四次主要的宗教裁判所:中世纪的、西班牙的、葡萄牙的和罗马的。 贞德的审判是中世纪宗教裁判所的一部分。

On December 23, 1430, Joan was thrown into the prison in Rouen to await her trial. She had five guards, three of whom stayed inside her cell with her. Her ankles were put in shackles, and she was chained to her bed. She might have been put into chains because people thought she had the power to fly away.

1430年12月23日，贞德被投入鲁昂监狱等待审判。 她有五个警卫，其中三个和她一起待在牢房里。 她的脚踝上戴着脚镣，她被锁在床上。 她被锁起来可能是因为人们认为她有飞走的能力。
