That could be associated with the English invading France; you know that
whole burning a girl at the stake thing.

Well as the burning was actually done by a French bishop's court it's
possible the story may well be exagerated somewhat.

That all depends on which of the many versions one hears.

Besides, as most serious countries have noticed in the past few
centuries,
invading France is fun. They can't fight, the food and drink are
wonderful
and the women very welcoming.

Not exactly rapeing and pillaging then.

The French government in recent years has even taken to sponsering
re-enactments of various invasions, and very nice the two I went on

Crecy dressed as an English archer...

My family were once archers.
