Telegraph Arts The queen ruled by others Moreover, to her Guise relations, Mary held the key to France's acquisition of Scotland as part of its "empire", and - with luck - England and Ireland as well. He duly became King consort of Scotland and shortly afterward - on his father's death in a jousting accident - King of France as Franois II. How British history might have been different had Franois II lived and been in a position to make good his wife's claim to the English throne is one of the great "what ifs" of 16th-century history. www.buzztracker.org /2004/01/08/cache/15503.html   (1343 words)

Reflections of Rigoletto His exile from France would last nineteen years, mostly to be spent on the Island of Jersey. The play is set historically at the court of King Franois I but Hugo clearly intended his jester to vent his spleen on the corrupt government of Louis-Philippe. This remote house of the hunchback, quite apart from his work at court, seems an unlikely feature of society at the time of Franois I. It is however a perfect mirror of the nineteenth century, where a bourgeois household could be founded on corruption. www.bjornetjenesten.dk /teksterdk/Rigoletto/reflections_of_rigoletto.htm   (7585 words)

World Politics  Much Ado About Something France was the primary supporter of Essy, based on the fact that he spoke fluent French (but only halting English), had earned his law degree from Poitiers University in France, and came from a former French colony. For one, France's president, Franois Mitterrand, charged that "the British conception [of the EU] does not correspond to that of the founding countries." The upshot of the imbroglio was a month of maneuvering that led to the selection of Prime Minister Jacques Santer of Luxembourg as a compromise between the forces of integration and restraint in Europe. highered.mcgraw-hill.com /sites/007248179x/student_view0/chapter7/a_further_note_1.html   (1437 words)

Excite UK - Travel - Europe - Monaco - History and Government He signed a treaty of friendship with France, and the principality remained independent from that time on, despite a brief interruption during the French Revolution. Franois Grimaldi led a group of partisans into the fortress of Monaco in 1297, which has been ruled by his family ever since; the Grimaldis have preserved their independence through a mixture of good luck and cunning diplomacy. This Machiavellian approach – indeed, Machiavelli himself was in Monaco in the early 16th century to sign a treaty on behalf of Florence – paid dividends in 1612 when Honoré II was granted the title of prince by the French crown. www.excite.co.uk /travel/guides/europe/monaco/HistoryGovernment   (542 words)

Britain, France mark 100 years of friendship Franois Mori/AP British and French national flags decorate the Champs Elysandeacute;es in Paris as the city prepares to welcome Britain's Queen Elizabeth II for ceremonies marking 100 years of friendship.

ufo - UFOS at close sight: pictures by amateurs from France, Pt I Yves Renard, ufologist, was alerted by his detector and took this picture of a strange phenomenon moving randomly in the nocturnal sky over Côte d'Azur, South of France, on February 10, 1973. On October 24, 1954, at about 5 P.M., Emile Turpin, aged 34, inspector with the SNCF, France's national railway service, had gone to the location of La Pointe aux Oies, by the sea, within 7 kilometers of Boulogne-sur-Mer, close to Ambleteuse, to photograph a tomb dating from the Neolithic era.

Banks Of The Seine - Part 1 Near the Trocadero, by the way, is the Rue Franklin where, in quite a humble apartment on the rez-de-chaussee, M. Clemenceau lived during the latter days of the War and during the Peace Conference, when he was the virtual dictator of France. The Tour St. Jacques, which the wanderer cannot miss, was built in the reign of Franois I., and was part of an old church pulled down in the' Second Empire when the Rue de Rivoli was constructed. The next bridge, the Pont au Change, derives its name from the fact that in the days when bridges were busy streets, it was the home of the goldsmith and the money lender, and there is something suggestive in the fact that the bridge was burned down in 1621. www.oldandsold.com /articles04/paris6.shtml   (1734 words)
