Victory and death of the Chevalier de Saint Pol, 1704, by Theodore Gudin, 1839

On 31 October 1704, the Chevalier de Saint-Pol de Hécourt (1665-1704), commander of the Salibury, attacked a heavily escorted English convoy on the Dogger Bank, which was completely captured. Saint-Pol was killed early in the action.

Today, March 12th, is the feast day of Saint Paul Aurelian, also known as Saint Pol de Léon.

After a pagan king killed the saints Tadec and Judulus, God sent a dragon to punish the king. But Paul saved the king by leashing the dragon and made him convert to christianity.

Later Paul came to Lampaul, where another dragon plagued the people. It turned out that it was the child of Paul's dragon, so he sent his dragon to fetch its child and then banished both of them into the wilderness.

Later he tamed a third dragon at Île de Batz.

De verloren oorlog

De oorlog van 1299-1300 is er één zoals zoveel voorbije oorlogen of oorlogen die nog zullen volgen. Schrijnende ellende voor de gewone mensen. In de Westhoek schrijven de mensen van Eecke bij Steenvoorde deze intrieste brief naar hun graaf: “Edele heer, wij, arme lieden van uw stad Eecke in het baljuwschap Kassel, smeken u in godsnaam medelijden te hebben met ons. De Fransen hebben het grootste…

So you know how the US was still on the “right side of history” during WW2 against the NAZIS but still, y’know, committed human rights atrocities against black people for existing? Now put that in perspective with today’s rhetoric and maybe see how, before the US joined the war against fascism, there were active KKK rallies in DC and we (like Italy) were NOT on the right side until things escalated so like… keep that in mind
