13/3/2022 Richelieu and his legacyThe multi-talented Brian Freeland joined us in February to give us a much-needed lesson on Cardinal Richelieu. We were treated to a fascinating and amusing talk that not only informed us about the historical context that allowed the rise of this extraordinary and ambitious statesman but also included the tale of Brian's own sojourn in the Commune of Richelieu in central France. Brian became an essential part of village life and is still welcomed back there to sit down for dinner with his former neighbours.
