Funny thing- I've noticed that when in England, the Normans tended to refer 
to themselves as French, but when in France they called themselves Normans! 
I think it is similar to when overseas we call ourselves Americans, but 
when in the States we call oursleves Oregonians, or Montanans, or New 
Yorkers, or what have you...

Anyway, The Red-Headed Norman League was a feeble reference to the Arthur 
Conan-Doyle Sherlock Holmes story about the Red-Headed League. Except that 
there isn't a bank robbery involved. ;-)
