It's not part of England, and could rightly be said to be part of the British Isles (though some would say the latter term is incorrect, it's at least clear—and since this is a thread about Joan of Arc it's not worth getting into).
Right, and "England" looks like this at the time:
Any jingoist, yes.
I didn't deal with Medieval England in my PhD. I'm well aware of the university system in Ireland.
Cool story! Thanks for sharing!

I've seen plenty of Americans flying the Tricolour in Massachussets and Connecticut outside their homes. Indeed the most pathetic jingoist Irish nationalists never seem to have been born in the republic. Plenty of them with American accents.
