I wonder if French schools tell the kids that we burned Joan of Arc to death on the orders of a French ecclesiastical court.
This was after some Frenchmen captured this upstart of a peasant's daughter and tried to ransom her to the French king. He wasn't interested so they sold her to us.
The Bishop of Beauvais demanded to be allowed to try this "witch of Orleans", along with his mate, the Vicar to the Inquisitor of Heretical Perversity.
They couldn't get her on the witchcraft charge, because the answers she gave at her trial were too good. So they ordered us to burn Joan at the stake for the "heretical perversity" of wearing trousers.
And they've been blaming "les goddams", as they used to call us, ever since.
Typical, you save the best till last.

Erudition - a dangerous thing in this day and age.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Anonymous: this all just goes to show how a little bit of knowledge can be quite dangerous.
