French demand Crown Jewels from the Queen to compensate for 1499 murder of Edward PlantagenetA French city which produced 14 English kings is demanding the Crown Jewels as compensation from the Queen for the murder of its last pretender to the throne.
Angers, which is in the Loire Valley west of Paris, was once the capital of the Anjou province and the House of Plantagenet.
It ruled England from 1154 until 1485, providing some of the greatest monarchs in British history, including Richard the Lionheart and Henry V.
But when Edward Plantagenet, the Earl of Warwick, was murdered in the Tower of London in 1499 the house's legitimate male line came to an end.
'As redress for the execution of Edward, Angers today demands that the Crown Jewels of England be transferred to Angers,' reads a petition posted on the city's official website ...

Why do that when you could turf out all the dodgy people wearing berets, striped shirts and onions and then change the first language to English (all the ladies will be allowed to speak it with that lovely French accent of theirs that makes English sound sooooo sexy)!
Then Britain would have more Michelin Stars than the rest of the galaxy put together [smiley=evil.gif]

The French didn't want a Royal Family, didn't they have them beheaded?
