This will not end well.

…What? It’s Europe! They had a war one time over somebody’s ear. You don’t think that they won’t throw down over St. Joan’s Ring? …Well, probably not; but if you can’t run an adventure around this hook then there’s no help for you as a GM.
Buh… why would Britain have a claim on a Joan of Arc artifact?
They burned St. Joan Of Arc at the stake fair and square. They see The Maid’s ring as rightfully theirs.

You also have to take into account that the British do not like Catholics in general (November 5th is all about burning a Catholic man in effigy). Anything to stick a thumb in the eye of a Catholic Saint is God’s work for an Englishman.
Just read the article. Obviously I was unaware of the history. Yeah, that ring ain’t coming back without skulduggery.
Ludicrous.
Yeah, that’s never going back to England.
Nor should it.
(And I say that as a card-carrying Anglophile.)

Also, aren’t UK voters about to tell the EU to go to Hell, anyway?
