Hi again!

The connection between Jacques and Jack is very much newer than the original one, but still - it exists!

I'd never say that for a medieval English person Jankin seemed to be a Flemish name (as I don't know what a medieval English person thought) - I just wanted to show the way that name took to make the connection between John and Jack clear.
