Hundred Days

about it. "Winnie the Pooh," I said to myself. "What a great name!" I thought. And it's name remained the same from then onwards. That is how I created Winnie the Pooh, the soon to be famous bear, without even knowing it. All I did in the next few days was play with my toys. I made up adventures that I would go on with them. All this while my father wrote them down for some reason on his notepad. He would be up late at night, and got angry at me for everything I did. Soon, he started yelling at…

England and France were never friends,because they both wanted each other's territory. This is most important conflict that happened during the medieval era, because how long the Hundred Years War…

In this essay I set out the background of the Battle of Hastings and discuss whether three of the criteria of what constitutes a just war were met. Background The Battle of Hastings occurred on the 14th of October, 1066, and was fought between the Normans (French) and the Anglo-Saxons (English) in the south of England. The battle went from dawn until dusk, and consisted of approximately 17, 000 soldiers (10,000 French and 7,000 English). The French also had horses, and so outnumbered the…

Its essential base was that a sequence of ruler’s dispute began when the defeat of England by William of Normandy generated a nation situated on both sides of the English passage. In the 14th century the English leaders guided the territory of Guyenne in France. They disliked remunerating reverence to the French leaders, and they dreaded the growth power applied by the French monarch above its substantial feudal servants. The instant reason of the 100 Years War were the discontent of Edward III…

The Hundred Years War period, from1337-1453, tells the story of an entire nation growing in strength and independence through the grace of God. After the Norman Conquest, it was evident that the nation of England was growing in strength and power, whereas the nation of France was rapidly ceasing to hold its power and strength. By the year 1337, England was in control of almost half of France. Subsequent to these events, King Edward III of England made claims to the throne of France, which thus…

him if he has a balloon about him - a balloon, of course, being a thing that would enable a small bear to float up into a tree without fear of gorse bushes. Christopher Robin happens to have two balloons, having been to a party at Piglet's house the day before. This is, to put it mildly, a rather troubling plot development - has Piglet had a party and not invited Pooh? He has invited Christopher Robin, and allowed him to take a total of two balloons home with him, and he has even invited one of…

Albans, they were defeated by the Lancastrians. At this time King Henry was reunited with the Queen, but it would not be the end. In 1461 the battle that would later be known as the bloodiest one-day battle in England’s history would take place. It was believed that over 50,000 men fought that day and around 28,000 died. The York’s gained victory while Henry, his wife, and his son fled to Scotland leaving Edward as King. Though King Henry and Queen Margret were gone, with Margret’s connection…

The Hundred Years War is one of the most notable conflicts of the Medieval ages. Two rival dynasties were fighting over land in a struggle that is marked by numerous battles, multiple characters, and disregarded treaty after disregarded treaty. The land in question, known as Aquitaine or Guyenne, should have belonged to England, but was being treated as a French territory causing a conflict that would span over the rule of different monarchs on both sides. The war was long enough to be divided…

At a superficial level, Laozi and Mozi seem to be at odds with one another on nearly all levels. Mozi’s philosophy is backed up with reasoning and a prevailing idea of rational thought in order to create order. Seemingly contradictory is Laozi’s claim that order is created through a spiritual law produced by an entity he calls “Dao” or the Way. At a glance Laozi’s philosophy seems far too mystical to have similarities with Mozi, but they actually have far more in common when it comes to how they…
