The King of England indicated to the pope that the Red Knight that fought on his side was a mercenary hired by one of his best knights, William Montagu, 2nd Earl of Salisbury.
and in the local language he says something completely different.
Après les avoir fait sortir, l'un d'eux dit: Sauve-toi, pour ta vie; ne regarde pas derrière toi, et ne t'arrête pas dans toute la plaine; sauve-toi vers la montagne, de peur que tu ne périsses.
And he does it again :
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, **flee** to Laban my brother in Haran,
Maintenant, mon fils, écoute ma voix! Lève-toi, fuis chez Laban, mon frère, à Charan;
“
Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run (he emphasize on this word and looks them straight in the eyes) that you may obtain it.
Ne savez-vous pas que ceux qui courent dans le stade courent tous, mais qu'un seul remporte le prix? Courez de manière à le remporter.

Just after the war in France Thomas Holland became rich enough to sue Montagu, which is why he emprisons her now. Since Montagu was the King of the Isle of Man, it is very plausible that she was imprisoned here at this exact time period and it is very plausible that Thomas Holland found a way to sneak her out to testify. Either way she testified and her marriage with Montagu was cancelled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Kent#Early_marriages

All documents about the Isle of Man from 1333 to 1390 are lost ! So if such a thing did happen, it would have disappeared from history anyway. Also all parties involved would have a strong incentive to not talk about it.
The garter of Joan of Kent supposedly fell to the ground and was picked up by the king. And when people laughed, the king said “Honi soit qui mal y pense” and decided to create a knightly order of the garter. But actually most historians dispute that, so I’ve only included this as an anectode.
Excellent movie on the theme of paganism , really really worth watching !! https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wicker_Man_(film,_1973)
