	Luxembourg HISTORY
		The land now known as Luxembourg fell under the successive domination of the Celts, the Romans, and the Riparian Franks before its founding as the County of Luxembourg in 963 by Sigefroid, count of the Ardennes, who reconstructed a small ruined fortress called Lucilinburhuc (Little Burg) on the site of the present capital.
		Luxembourg is now among the world's top ten financial centers and the financial sector employs approximately 10% of the workforce (20,000 people) and accounts for around one fifth of national income.
		Luxembourg suffered due to the global economic downturn and the turmoil in international stock markets that began in 2001, as its small, open economy specializes in financial services.

		His son, John the Blind, was a valiant warrior who perished at Crécy fighting the forces of Edward III of England, after ordering his men to lead him into the thickest part of battle.
		John's son, Charles IV, favored extending his domain through treaty and marriage; by the time his son, Wenceslas, gained the throne, the House of Luxembourg ruled a territory some 500 times the size of today's Luxembourg.
		Luxembourg, then, became a problem for the rest of Europe: Its position was too strategic and its fortifications too strong to allow it to be self-governing -- or even to be controlled by any one nation.

	RP's History Online - Charles IV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		John of Luxembourg gained this position with the support of the Czech nobility by marrying 18-year-old Eliska Przemyslova, the sister of the late Wenceslas III.
		All of these regions together, under the rule of John of Luxembourg, came to be known as the "Lands of the Czech Crown." So you see, there never was an easy "one-word" way (like 'Czechia') to describe this part of the world, not even in way back in the 14th century.
		John of Luxembourg was a good king, but he had a fatal weakness for chivalry, knighthood, honour - and especially, for battles.

		Upon her return, Joan was surprised to find the city under siege from a leader allied with England, John of Luxembourg.
		Luxembourg was the Duke of Burgundy's most capable captain, so Joan was up against a formidable opponent.
		In the process, Luxembourg's men captured Joan, an even more valuable prize than the city itself: Joan had found her army's escape route cut off by the British army, which had lain in waiting, and as the French made a final attempt to flee, an archer pulled Joan off her horse and onto the ground.

		He was probably born around 1300 in the diocese of Rheims in Champagne and he may have spent some time studying in Paris where, since the 13th century, the most sophisticated musical theories had been elaborated.
		This great feudal lord, King of Bohemia and stalwart and inalienable ally of the royal house of France, travelled the length and breadth of Europe in pursuit of his various military and political campaigns, and his secretary followed faithfully at his side throughout these often turbulent peregrinations.
		After the heroic death of John of Luxembourg - who had become blind - at the battle of Crécy in 1346, Machaut cultivated the relationships that bound him to the higher reaches of the nobility and to the royal family of France.
