Stephen Clarke

Ten centuries worth of French historical 'facts' gather dust as Stephen Clarke takes a look at what really happened from 1066...

Was the Battle of Hastings a French victory? Not! William the Conqueror was a Norman and hated the French.

Are the British really responsible for the death of Joan of Arc? Not! The French sentenced her to death for wearing trousers.

Was the guillotine a French invention? Not! It was invented in Yorkshire.

From the Norman (not French) Conquest, to the XXX, it is a light - but impeccably researched - account of all the great conflicts.

In short, the French are quite right to suspect that the last 1,000 years have been one long British campaign that has pissed them off. And it's not over yet...
