4 And actually won a few,
5 Which created problems for the aDauphin,
6 Who was the heir to the Frog throne and not anxious to be crowned,
7 Since there's almost no glory involved in being the king of a defeated nation,
8 bWhich failed to deter Joan of Arc, since she was the only person in France who didn't know the rule about not conquering England.
9 Ultimately, this difficult situation was resolved when the English captured Joan and cburned her at the stake for wearing men's clothes,
10 dAnd not even English men's clothes at that,
11 Which may be the single most irritating thing about the Frogs the English have had to endure.
CHAPTER 81 eAfter losing the Hundred Years War, the Frogs participated pretty strenuously in the fRenaissance,
2 Since they had invented culture in the first place,
3 gAccording to all the French history books,
4 And were anxious to show the rest of hEurope how superior they were.
5 And so the Frogs tried their hand at a lot of Renaissance sports,
6 iIncluding painting naked ladies,
7 jAnd writing poems about naked ladies,
8 kAnd making sculptures of naked ladies,
9 lWhich all came easily to them since it was the Frogs who had invented sex in the first place,

10 mAccording to all the French history books.
11 And they also tried out the nProtestant religion fad, having some Huguenots and whatnot to carry on with for a while,
12 oAlthough they ultimately decided to remain a Catholic nation, because no other religion offers the opportunity to get as dressed up as Frogs like to be.
CHAPTER 91 In fact, the Frogs became pretty obsessed with fashion in the wake of the Renaissance,
2 pSince they had invented fashion in the first place,
3 qIncluding fake moles called beauty spots,
4 rMakeup for women,
5 sAnd for men,
6 tPowdered wigs and outlandish hats,
7 And dressy outfits, each one of which could cost a unoble more than a vpeasant would earn in a lifetime,
8 Not to mention parties, which went on for days and cost more than a whole nation of peasants could earn in a lifetime,
9 Which is when things started to get wsticky in France.
CHAPTER 101 For a long time, the French had been governing through a system based on the xdivine right of kings,
2 Called the divine right of Louis's,
3 Which resulted in a long string of Louis's,
4 One after the other, until there had been fourteen of them.
