Normandy in France??!!! At that time I don't think it was, though I'm not 100% sure. France, like England, was divided into different kingdoms.<br /><br />The 100 years war is still going on the way some people behave both sides of the ChannelAnjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562210585479814093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371210.post-7353616295488877402012-01-08T21:32:30.440+01:002012-01-08T21:32:30.440+01:00I've never researched the story of Jeanne d...I've never researched the story of Jeanne d'Arc in depth, so mostly I know the usual.
