[MR] Wikipedia: Fall of Calais

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

On this date in 1558 the town of Calais, long held by the English, fell to
a French army. Calais had been in English hands since it had been conquered
by Edward III in 1347. After the end of the Hundred Years Wars, the town
was England's last outpost in France (well, England still held the Channel
Islands): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Calais_(1558)

Yours Aye,
