No-one could honestly expect Edward to be devoted to a 12 year-old girl - but maybe the way Edward and Piers behaved was just 'too much', so to speak:>Anerjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305237339979790391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933105074141988999.post-81951291163853900282012-04-10T08:49:00.033-07:002012-04-10T08:49:00.033-07:00So the French started it all, lol?

I really love that description of Piers too. :-) It's interesting why the French in general and Philip IV in particular hated Piers so much - I'm sure you're right about the reason! Looking forward to the banquet post. :)Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.com
