I am remiss. And yes, her dates are a little later than Betrothal--she was born in 1412. But the common life was probably not very different 60 years after.

Being a writer -- and an English major -- I love the scenes with Chaucer announcing William, aka Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein.

I also love the movie (which I think was a TV movie) Joan of Arc--I know she lived in the Middle Ages, but not sure if it's the same time as your book. It's been a while since I've seen the movie and sadly this Catholic gal can't remember her history of the Saints...which considering I was a history teacher is doubly bad....LOLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059049146764159067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640495900909855063.post-71918742907331161842013-07-02T15:07:45.166-07:002013-07-02T15:07:45.166-07:00Thanks, Ella!

It was the one after Braveheart which you assigned us to watch before reading your book, but since I've already read your fabulous book (Gave it FIVE STARS) I'm incapable of following instructions, which I do badly anyway.<br /><br />But if I had time and could remember it's name, it sounded like a good movie.<br /><br />Bet your book is still better.

I don't know if it's Heath Ledger or the sort of tongue in cheek atmosphere of A Knight's Tale, but I just fell in love with it the first time I watched it. Braveheart is such an emotional roller coaster I love to watch it, yet hate to also. Depends on whether I want to be put through the wringer or not. :)Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308158251486924808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640495900909855063.post-64000720809806878522013-07-02T09:13:01.641-07:002013-07-02T09:13:01.641-07:00Seen them all except the Pillars one.
