TAR16 - EP6: "Cathy Drone?" (France)
apskip:
My memory of French history is that in 1431 Joan of Arc drove out the British from the French mainland. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege at Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she lifted the siege in only 9 days. Several more swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Rheims and settled the disputed succession to the throne.
There is a definitive tie between Joan of Arc and that cathedral"Cathy"). I still can't figure out where drone comes in=, as there are several different definitions of drone, none of which appears to make any sense in this context.

Later she was captured by the British (betrayed by her own countrymen, Jealosy?), tried as a heritic, condemed and burned at the stake. The actual spot in Rheims is marked by a plaque and monument. Not actually in front of the Cathedral, but nearby.
