Francis I of France

dynastic claims. For example, Charles the Bold of Burgundy was able to sponsor 15,000 men in 1470 in comparison to his descendant, Philip II, in 1640 who financially sponsored 86,000 soldiers. Even more dramatically, Francis I of France had 32,000 men in 1525 while Louis XIII of France had 144,000 men in 1635. While size created administrative problems, gunpowder weapons did damage similarly if not greater than the expensive aristocratic men of cavalry or the problem of time for training in the…

Intermarriage occurred where members of ruling families married into other ruling families. Often arranged, these marriages were a form of diplomacy, which signified increased relations between the two nations. Elizabeth I witnessed such a marriage occur when her half sister Mary I married the Spanish Prince Philip of Spain. Despite her royal birth and bloodline to England, as soon as she married Prince Philip all decisions were made by him and in the interests of Spain (Thomas 98). Seeing the…

paper I will argue that the Enlightenment was the tipping point and the beginning of all the rebellions. I am disputing that it was not the French Revolution or the Imperial crisis that began the rebellions throughout all of Latin America but it was the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment began in the late 1700s, when Enlightenment and revolutionary ideas were spread from Europe and the United States to Latin America. Educated Latin Americans read works by the Enlightenment writers (Francis Bacon…

contrast and comparison of Anouilh and Sophocles Antigone, the modern version of Sophocles original play was written in France during World War II, by Jean Anouilh to reflect the situation in France at the time and is different from the original in several ways. While Jean Anouilh was writing Antigone (1943), the Germans were occupying the country of France, which seemed to fit the story of Antigone, because a revolution had taken place. The original play, written by Sophocles in…

only notable similarity between northern Europe and, for example, a place like Florence, lay in the duchy of Burgundy. Burgundy, until 1477, covers a territory of the average current France north to the sea, and Flanders and parts of the current Netherlands is included. He was the only person standing between France and the Holy Roman Empire enormous. His nicknames Dukes, during the last 100 years were not given to "good," "Fearless" and…

casualties and the destruction of major dynasties. The war was between the Central Powers and the allies. These two sets of opponents had developed over the previous 50 years. The Central Powers included Austria-Hungary and Germany. The Allies included France, Great Britain, and Russia, then in 1915 Italy, and in 1917 United States. One of the things that made this war happen was the leaders wanting to expand their territories. There was a lot of tension between the different leaders, not only…

The film is beautifully shot, in farfetched tones-running from brilliant to sepia to dark, in the feeling of the trench fighting. The essential plot is that Tautou 's character, Mathilde, is looking for reality about her significant other Manech (Gaspard Ulliel), who is supposedly dead, sentenced to death with four others for weakness by the French military, for self-mangling, in a situation much the same as that in Stanley Kubrick 's first incredible film, Ways Of Transcendence. Ulliel gives a…

She will always be remembered as the greatest ‘Cosmo Girl’ that ever lived.One of my favorite Helen Gurley quote is, “I think you keep two sets of books. In one set, you record the truth — how well you are really doing. This is the secret set — just for you and loved ones. In the other set are more modest entries and statements, and these are for public consumption!”…

Geography: Canada is the 2nd largest nation on Earth with a total land area of 9,984,670 sq km, and is the largest nation on the North American continent. Although Canada is the second largest country on Earth and the largest in North America, most of Canada 's land is part of a rather inhospitable land that is characterized by tundra and arctic features. Consequently, due to Canada 's very northern location, most of the Canadian population lives towards the United States border where the most…
