List of monarchs in the British Isles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia English monarchs, and subsequently British monarchs, then styled themselves King of France or Queen of France until the Act of Union 1800, which led to the creation of the United Kingdom in 1801. In 1328, on the death of the French king, Charles IV, Edward III (nephew of Charles IV) claimed the French throne.

The French Revolution Leaders of the rebellion that had been taking place in the Vendée since 1791 had contacted the British and French émigrés in Britain, and, on June 27, the British continued their war against the French by landing an army of 4,500 Frenchmen at Quiberon. The British were jubilant and encouraged, and in the last half of 1798, Austria, Russia and Turkey, also encouraged by the British victory at Abu Qir, joined Britain in a new coalition against France. Members of the National Assembly wanted the creation of a parliamentary system similar to what the British had, and they swore not to disperse until a constitution had been written and ratified (a swearing to be known as the Tennis Court Oath). www.fsmitha.com /h3/h33-fr.html   (9281 words)

Royal Styles and the uses of "Highness" Following 1917 the style of Highness was dropped in the British Royal family and the title of prince/princess only allowed for the issue of the sovereign and for the grandchildren in the male line of a sovereign (with the addition of the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales). Members of the Rhine Confederation founded by Napoleon I were called "Most Excellent Prince" (if they were not kings) and styled Most Serene Highness (except Murat as grand-duke of Berg, Imperial Highness, the prince-primate and later grand-duke of Frankfurt, Most Eminent Highness, and the grand-duke of Hesse, Royal Highness). In the Yugoslavian Royal Family the system is almost the same as in Denmark: Crown Prince Alexander, his wife and three children are styled "Royal Highnesses" as well as his two uncles Prince Tomislav and Prince Andrej, while their children and the descendants of Prince Paul are styled only as "Highnesses". www.heraldica.org /topics/royalty/highness.htm   (9281 words)

Lesley Adkins & Roy Adkins - authors of Archaeology Books In the ships of the French, Spanish and British, there were thousands of sailors, but in addition there were many women and children who often served as ‘powder monkeys’ during battles, bringing gunpowder cartridges from the magazines to the guns. The ensuing battle was the last major battle between wooden sailing ships, and was notable for the unusual British strategy of forming two columns, one led by Nelson in the Victory and one led by Collingwood in the Royal Sovereign. He recounts in detail the build-up to the action against the French and Spanish fleets with a lively commentary and quotes from sailors and historical figures, giving a vivid taste of what life was like for those aboard the ships. adkinsarchaeology.com /trafalgar.aspx   (2712 words)

The French Royal Family: Titles and Customs The enfants de France (fils, fille de France) were sons and daughters of the sovereign, and styled in medieval seals filius/filia regis: their high rank was similar to that of infante in Spain. As lifespans increased, it seems that the concept of "fils de France" was extended to the children of the eldest son of the sovereign, and even to the children of the eldest grandson of the sovereign: in other words, to children of the current, past or future king. The style became standard in diplomatic documents, for example, in the Treaty of Munster with the Holy Roman Empire that concluded the Thrity Years War in 1648, the style is Serenissimus ac Potentissimus Princeps ac Dominus, Dominus Ludovicus XIV. www.heraldica.org /topics/france/frroyal.htm   (2376 words)

Royal Styles and the uses of "Highness" Louis XIV never used that style for either the Grand-Duke of Tuscany or the duke of Lorraine, but he did use Highness for all sovereign princes of Germany (see more on the styles used by the chancery of Louis XIV). The dukes of Schleswig-Holstein in reality are not Danish dukes but German and as such use the style of Durchlaucht. The first French prince to use it was the prince de Condé in the 1650s; the dukes of Orléans followed suit upon losing the Royal Highness in 1723 with the rank of grandson of France. www.heraldica.org /topics/royalty/highness.htm   (4538 words)

Body His training was mainly Burgundian and by traveling beyond the realm of that sovereign he brought its style to other countries and then introduced the other countries styles back into France on his visits home. After his stay at Burgundy, Binchois was employed at Naples and brought the Burgundian style of composition with him spreading his fame and the musical influence of the Burgundian court beyond its boundaries. He moved the center of the court back to Dijon, and focused more upon the unification and maintenance of the Burgundian territories than the French politics and squabbles in which his father was so deeply involved. www.vanderbilt.edu /htdocs/Blair/Courses/MUSL242/f98/burgundy.htm   (9868 words)

Port Vila Presse Online Vanuatu News :: Lulu Knocks On Door To The Coupe De France The backing of Vanuatu by Tahiti and New Caledonia is vitally important in that normally Vanuatu being a sovereign state, is not elegible for the coupe de france which is a tournament for France and French territories only. However, given the fact that Vanuatu was a former French colony, and currently an active member of l'Association Internationale de la Francophonie, and especially when Vanuatu Football has roots in the French style of game, there could be a better chance that the once Tahiti/New Caledonia/Vanuatu Coupe de France play off be restored. And the Coupe de France play off between them would not only revive that connection, but would prompt a tougher competition between them, and thus producing strong teams to compete with other international clubs. www.news.vu /en/sports/football/lulu-knocks-on-door-to-th.shtml   (781 words)

The ( so far) unasked question: We invade Iraq, and we capture Saddam. What do we do with him? OBL's most probably dead, so we don't have to deal with the spectacle of a trial, but what if Saddam and a few others are captured, or even perhaps, surrender, to say, the French ambassador? That, a US tribunal, a Kuwaiti trial, or having him turned over to his own people to try, would be preferable (for our sake and every sovereign country's sake) to seeing a 'world court' style case.
