From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There appears to be some confusion of the House of Champagne and Counts of Sancerre. Below is a list of the Counts of Sancerre.

Opinion Added on March 2, 2007 by Unknown Contributor: Many historians of the occupation have subsequently argued that the notion of a "heroic" French resistance is more the result of post-war French cinema than historical fact. In reality, France had one of the most feeble resistance movements of any country occupied by the Nazis. During the occupation, the average Frenchman was far more likely to have been a cowardly collaborator than a heroic resistance fighter.
In response to the unknown contributor who added his/her opinion regarding the French Resistance, by Unknown Contributor - The history of Sancerre has long been one of resistance -- the Romans, the English, the Catholic forces of the king , the Blues, and the Germans. Unfortunately, the 50 houses burned in Thauvenay, the people shot, held hostage and offset to concentration camps are not a figment of the imagination of the French cinema.
There appears to be an incomplete sentence at the beginning of the "history" section. -Anders
