I'll double check from another site as I just copied what was on wiki. 113 seems a tad unlikely too.Ganeidahttp://ganeidasknot.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-20759790902823206282009-05-05T22:03:00.000-07:002009-05-05T22:03:00.000-07:00May I respectfully point out that the dates are a ...May I respectfully point out that the dates are a tad confusing. If they are birth to death then she died at thirteen. Perhaps you mean't 1243 which would make her 113.

MrsD: The Irish are Celts...Constance: Me neither!<br /><br />MrsD: The Irish are Celts! :D On the other hand Jeanne was French, though a Breton, who were, & to some extent still are, Celts. They have an ongoing row with the French government over the Breton language, which France has been trying to extinguish for years. They are funny about the *purity* of their language & are slowly killing both French & Breton in consequence.<br /><br />Diane: Yep. What I like about history too. The child should still have been playing with her dollies. She seems to have been very in love with her 2nd husband. His death certainly sent her off the rails.<br /><br />Allison: Then you would enjoy the tale of Grace O'Malley, who I believe even met secretly with QEI. Irish politics are even more complicated than most but Grace was a character in her own right & a quite remarkable woman.Ganeidahttp://ganeidasknots.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-63210054487497295812009-05-05T19:34:00.000-07:002009-05-05T19:34:00.000-07:00I'm friends with a couple who is very into pirates...I'm friends with a couple who is very into pirates.
