Joan was executed on May 30, 1431 but in this movie snow is seen during the execution.execution.
** Joan's comrades are also seen trying to rescue her right before she's burned at Rouen, which didn't happen in real life.
** Cauchon is introduced as part of Charles's entourage...even though he must later preside at Joan's trial, which makes very little sense politically.


Added DiffLines:

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade:
** The film goes for a very saintly portrayal of Joan; she's reluctant to attack the English at the Tourelles and must be ordered to do so. In reality, records state that she was constantly goading her comrades on in the attack. There are also fictitious scenes such as Joan setting up a soup kitchen and her organising public works projects to help displaced peasants rebuild their lives.
** Charles VII is also given a very sympathetic portrayal, even trying to tell Joan she doesn't have to go on the expedition that results in her capture; and it's Joan herself who responds that whatever happens is the will of God.
* ImportantHaircut: This one happens with Joan cutting her hair in the reflection in the river, and the hair being carried away by the current to symbolise how she won't turn her back on the mission. Her hair partly grows back in captivity and is past her shoulders by the time of her execution.

** [[ArtisticLicenseHistory Realistically speaking]], it's doubtful that a 15th century French monarch would have said any such thing; the feudal system - which divided society into a rigid class structure - was still very much alive at the time, and elements of it persisted up until the French Revolution in the 18th century.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: When confering a singular honor on the titular heroine, King Charles VII remarks on the seemingly strange idea that birth and lineage are often held up as more important than a person's character, but as king he is able to ignore that convention and thus award Joan the honor due her loyalty and service.
