May 30 has been a day marked by monumental achievements and memorable moments across the world’s history, spanning science, politics, culture, and exploration. 1431 – The Trial of Joan of Arc Concludes On May 30, 1431, the trial of Joan of Arc ended with her condemnation for heresy and witchcraft by an ecclesiastical court in Rouen, France.
