What great combinations you make here, linking cultural works to the story of the Burghers of Calais. I was aware of little of this! I had heard of the Burghers of Calais but couldn't remember who there were. Of course I'm always reading references to the Hundred Years' War but don't know much about it -- not sure if I will ever really dive in to it the way your godson certainly has!
Thanks so much for your valuable feedback Betty. Apologies for the delay in replying. Yes, I was rather ignorant of the Hundred Years’ War until I researched it. In school, our history syllabus in the late 1970s and early 1980s focussed on Irish History and European History - typically since Napoleon.

Super informative article
Both countries held grudges for a long time back then but what does that achieve
At least relations have improved in modern times
The attachments really compliment and enhance the story
Well done to the author(s) thoroughly enjoyable read
Special mention to our godson C, well done - remember where it all began 🙂
Very well done to you both
Interesting historical details. I love Rodin. The museum in Paris is one of my favourite places.
