i searched the web for a translation of "la merdaille"
couldn't find one. i suspect from construction and context that it's something like "the shit people" but without an actual translation i don't see the point of including this quote in this context "referred to as "la merdaille" by a local chronicler".
if we could have the english translation of the qoute great if not we should pull that line.

There are entries in many dictionaries; see French Wiktionary for a good list of sources. I've picked an English source from 1611, which makes reference to "shit", so it seems clear it contains the root "merde". Hairy Dude (talk) 15:08, 7 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
