During the trial, the judge tells Marguerite that her body could burn for 20 to 30 minutes until she is dead. It was not common in the 14th century to divide the hour in minutes. This started by the end of the 16th century, when watches displayed minutes. By the end of the 14th century, it was more common to divide the hour in halves or quarters. So the judge should have said that death would occur after a quarter to a half-hour of burning.
