Yes, it is. I'm afraid I no longer have a working scanner, so can't reproduce it ... However, if you can find a copy of the book, I'm sure it would be well worth a look.by Hermione - Ancient History
Hi Don, The forum post to which you link, from debraregypt, alleges, inter alia, that Joan was the sister or twin of the Dauphin Charles (1403-1461) (later Charles VII). The post gives a Wikipedia link where it is explained that Charles’ mother, Isabeau of Bavaria, was accused of an affair with her brother-in-law, Louis, Duc d’Orléans; some years later, there were more rumours to the effectby Hermione - Paper Lens

Thanks for this link, Doug: I hadn't come across it before. I note that Magli says (pg. 7), "Recent investigations have been carried out on the orientation of the Roman camps and forts (Richardson 2005) and, although precise indications are also in this case difficult to be obtained due to the relative low number of data sample (see Peterson, 2007, and Salt, 2007) there is a clear teby Hermione - Ancient History
