Battle of Orléans 1428

The Battle of Orléans in 1428 (29 April) was a significant victory for the French led by Joan of Arc. This was one of many campaigns during the One Hundred Years War (1337 to 1453).

Much of the reason for this war, and for the tensions between the French and the English for centuries following was to do with English claims to the French throne.

You can read more about it in Wikipedia.

In fact, this history goes way before that back to 1066 when William, Duke of Normandy (now a part of modern France) invaded England.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........

My human came home late so my dinner was two hours late. I forgave him quickly as he brought back Declan and Nell who stayed for over an hour and I enjoyed sitting on Declan's lap and playing with his collar and zipper with my head.

It seems they went out to dinner in town and had Eritrean cuisine. Eritrea only recently gained independence from Ethiopia (in Africa). The humans said the food was interesting and different.
