Thanks for the two links too!<br /><br /><br />Carolyn, Apparently this post provoked a lot of googling activity. Thank you for taking an interest.<br /><br /><br />Leon, Being an avid Joan of Arc fan, did you visit Domrémy? Next to the house where she was supposedly born, is an information centre that explains all about her life and where the theory of the 'other Joan fo Arc' is also explored and documented. Maybe during your next trip to France?ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-34316578480067426272009-12-05T03:11:53.294+01:002009-12-05T03:11:53.294+01:00Martine,
