Thanks colorado tanker.
"It has always been thought that King King Wladyslaw III fell in battle against the forces of the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Varna in 1444. According to Mr Rosa, however, the king managed to survive the battle unscathed and fled to the Portuguese island of Madeira where he lived out the rest of his life as a hermit and married a Portuguese noblewoman."
This is plausible because, as everyone knows, all Portuguese noblewomen of that time *dreamed* of marrying out-of-work fugitive Polish hermits.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

If I wind up at the funny farm when people see me sitting by myself laughing, it'll be your fault.
