News from Norwich

Another good Study Day with David Grummitt, Tony Pollard and a double
dose of Michael K Jones.

His talks were about Henry V and the vacuum he left behind with two
feuding brothers as Regents and uncertainty over the French posessions.
He also revealed the identity of the Frenchman who provided Jeanne
d'Arc with an army: Gilles de Rais who, convicted of multiple murder
and child abuse in 1441, was also burned.
