Her military campaign at Lagny, where she triumphed over the Burgundians under Franquet d’Arras, gains added depth when her Scottish connections are considered. One remarkable detail is the possibility that her iconic banner was created by a Scottish artist, perhaps a James Polwarth or someone from the Hume family. This visual symbol, which accompanied her into battle,…-

Ballad of the Philanthropist
Ballad of the Philanthropist begins in a place where peace reigned so steadily, it became nearly unbearable for one man sworn to uphold the law. Pomona Road and its adjoining gardens stood as an exemplar of domestic civility—each house adorned with floral perfection, each resident attuned to quiet harmony.
