Shecky and French History

In 1347, a mostly forgotten story of French History, relates how King Edward III of laid siege to the French town of Calais. For eleven months the citizen of the town were desperate for water and food, until six leading citizen, offered themselves as hostages, in exchange for the town’s freedom. This event, commemorated by Rodin was completed in 1886; although the addition of French Patriot, Monsieur Shecky, is thought to have occurred somewhat latter.
