I was doing homework, and I came across this passage...

"The death of Queen Catherine de' Medici, followed by the assassinations of Henry of Guise and King Henry III, paved way for the accesion of the polique and Protestant Henry of Navarre, who ascended the throne as Henry IV (r. 1589 - 1610).
This glamorous prince, "who knew how to fight, to make love, and to drink," as a contemporary remarked..."

I dunno, but there's one line there that seems to scream, "JAYNE!" at me.

Just found it a mite interesting.

Yaay for Firefly for making history more fun.

As a student of history myself, I have to thank you for making this correlation...makes sense.

"Henry, the king they called Henry..."

Haha, don't thank me, thank Mrs. Tabatsko, my history teacher.

She gave me the homework assignment.

Methinks a whole parody of the Hero of Canton is in order now.

Hehe! Another history student here, (though somewhat rusty now). Jayne would have been quite at home anywhere in the mercenary armies of Europe. Or the Crusades.

Oh...Michael Moorcock moment. Jayne, the Eternal Warrior...

Don't mind me. I can contemplate the glory that is the Hero of Canton for hours. I am picturing him in full armour with a broadsword about now. And drooling.

Oh, gosh, the images in my mind...

Not that they're BAD images. Nosirree.

You could put Jayne in just about any era or age.

So true. Meanest Cro-Magnon in Cave 72? Yepper.

Adam has done a whole lotta stuff but I can't recall any drama-in-armor kinda thing. Mental picture works, though.
