Actually, it's short for "l'Ordre des Carmes" or the Order of Carmelites.

i've amended my post my french is rudementary my german is a lot better tho.

rouen used to be part of england tho, until the french renigged on their deal with henry V after agincourt that he become king of france as well as england, and stole it back. richard plantagenet (aka 'the lionheart') used it as his capital. i gather he never actually spent much time in the british isles. he only spoke french in any case.

newsflash:

they just announced that richard iii, the last plantagenet king of england has been located hiding under a car park in leicester. henry tudor was not available for comment. as there is no statute of limitations in the UK, the crown prosecution service is still considering charges against richard for the murders of edward v and his brother richard, whose skeletal remains were discovered in the tower a few years back.
