No. It's kind of on the same sort of theme as the last question.

That's right; I don't think any other British places have a different French name. (Edinburgh's Edimbourg by the way.) So, much as I like NM's answer, it's over to Isty.

I reckon the same as NM, but just on case I'll say The Tudor Dynasty, as 1485 is the start date.

Those dates seem to fit with the setting dates for Blackadder (Ignoring the 'back and forth' special).
