Guillaume Chartier was one of the judges authorized in 1455 by Pope Calixte III to reconsider the process, as a result of which, in 1431 , the heroine of the French people, Jeanne d'Arc , was sentenced to be burned at the stake.
King Louis XI did not favor him, mindful of his course of action during the League of Public Good , uniting the enemies of the king, when Chartier wanted to open the gates of the capital to the participants of the league (1465).
