...from Muhlburger's early history.
I mention it because we'd been discussing Joan of Arc on the pilgrimage, and trying to remember when she died. It was early 15th c, in the end.
It's relevant because one of her prosecutors was the Bishop of Winchester (William Wykeham, I think), who went on to endow Winchester College (a 'public' school for boys), and build the current Bishop's palace, which is next to the ruined Wolvesey castle, a stop on our pilgrimage.

William of Wykeham also founded New College Oxford. I think, however, he was good and dead before Joan of Arc was born.
