Also on May 23rd
Joan of Arc lost her spot in prime time this morning to Richard III and the news that he will be buried next year in Leicester. But I didn’t want to ignore the Maid entirely since she is one of the most remarkable and enigmatic figures of the Middle Ages.
On May 23rd in 1430, Joan of Arc was wounded and captured by the Burgundians, who sold her to the English, who then turned her over to the Church, with dire consequences for Joan.
And on May 23rd in 1533, Henry Bluebeard Tudor’s marriage to Katherine of Aragon was declared null and void by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, thus paving the way for recognizing Henry’s marriage to Anne Boleyn. So all in all, May 23rd does not sound like a good day to commemorate, does it?
So back to our time. This is a touching story about a man I would have liked to know and a kind gesture by a college to a grieving family. .

I loved that too Marita, a very apt moniker.
