Look at http://www.rootsweb.com/~polwgw/namelist.html#W for Walter/Waclaw who is apparently celebrated on September 28 by the spiritual descendants of those who sacked Constantinople.

But you may prefer to consult http://kwl.com.au/article.php?artid=150 that states

May 11. ST. WALTER OF L’ESTERP.

Come on fellows!

There was a lady called Emmanuelle Arsan (born in 1940, Thai origin) who wrote, in French, a mediocre, soft-porn, erotic novel titled Emmanuelle (late sixties or early seventies). She followed with more books of nil-value. Emmanuelle made the real Emmanuelle famous to the point that several idiots found feminist values in her drivel (she was portraying a woman who was sexually as uninhibited as a man).

The films were like the books. The first was mediocre and the rest progressively worse.

Emmanuelle (1974) was a milestone in the history of cinema and affected the way sex was perceived in society. Whether you like it or not, it has played a significant role over the depiction or eroticism on the silver screen, which in turn has a social reflection.

(she was portraying a woman who was sexually as uninhibited as a man)

I would disagree with the generalization of this statement, as men tend to have inhibitions - to the same degree as women -- a different set of inhibitions, but they're there. I would say, she (Emmanuelle) was a woman trying to uncover her libido

Emmanuelle made the real Emmanuelle famous to the point that several idiots found feminist values in her drivel

From what I find out on the Net: "If she appeared brighter she could even be viewed as a feminist icon, but even the high queen of feminism Germaine Greer says she is a 'bimbo.' "

Anyway, it was what it was, and the social impact was limited to the times. Either you were there or you weren't.
