Then Albina said: ‘This land to which we have come, We do not know its name, Nor if it ever had a lord. Therefore, since I am the leader, We will name it after me. Albina is my name – From which it will be called Albion, And hence this country Will remember us always.’

Anon, On the Great Giants (Anglo-Norman), c.1250–1333

pope joan: ... in England, she was taken for a cleric by everyone and pursued the study of letters and of love ... Thus, endowed with admirable knowledge, she left England and went to Rome ... Since in addition to her scholarly knowledge she was very virtuous and saintly, everyone believed her to be a man ... A woman, then, was the Vicar of Christ on earth. God from on high was merciful to His people and did not allow a woman to hold so lofty a place ... And so she was thrown into a horrid dungeon by the cardinals, where this wretched woman died in the midst of her laments.

Giovanni Boccaccio, On Famous Women (Latin), 1359
