Reformation Divided: a review
I think that these places were where the refugees could find suitable accommodation.I don't think that they had relatives there. There were other colleges, i.e. Rome, VALLODALID IN Spain and Lisbon. Portugal has been a long term ally of England.

Reformation Divided: a review
It intrigues me that Douai and Reims included among their populations refugees from England. The two centers log distances that look rather terrain- and time-challenging.

The computer crashed before I concluded my comment concerning fire temples.

How Long Does It Take To Plan A Wedding?
The film version of The Puppet Masters did not have the option of buying wedding permissions at gas stations.

Would that ...
