Thanks Jeromi Mikhael, appreciated. The web page you identify seems to consist of random sentences, including cite superscripts, plucked from several Wikipedia articles. Eg also from Battle of Calais. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:18, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Just checking @Gog the Mild: (as I was going to promote this), the hook says 101 years whilst the article says 99 years. Which one is correct? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:27, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

The C of E, good spot! The 99 years was after the Battle of Poitiers which is mentioned in the aftermath. Re-reading, not the best reference point. I have tweaked it to reference the 101 years from the treaty, and be explicit about it. Sorry about that. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:42, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
