Do we abhor the English for the relentless acquisition of French lands and throne? That whole Henry II and Eleanor ownership of much of France seems to have been uppermost in subsequent ruler’s aims. Like they just couldn’t give it up.
Sobering thoughts on a hot Wednesday afternoon. You and the crew are probably not cold. Best to stay hydrated with some local beverages.
PS Currently binge-watching the series "The six Queens of Henry VIII". It's Catherine Howard's turn now. Girl knew how to have fun! For a girl in that age anyway.
Love the thought of a priest being with them during scorched earth raids
Thank you 🙏 I am loving these, keep them coming!
Will someone ever be born who will ever figure out how to stop wars?
You’re just a big tease….I’m waiting for the book.
Then I’ll get excited 😜

Every time I'm on a castle wall in France, I want to yell I fart in your general direction. I blame Monty Python.......
Lifelong EU and UK history buff here. Great new reading. Love these posts and ordered the book. Bravo.
Why did I take Spanish in high school? I'm going to have to look up how half the French cities are pronounced.
Now I’m really looking forward to the book and your documentary!
