>Louise Marie-Thérèse, also known as The Negroid Nun of Moret (16 November 1664 – 1732), was a French nun and the subject of accounts from the 18th century in which she is claimed to be the daughter of the Queen of France, Maria Theresa of Spain. Her existence is mentioned in several different sources.[1][2][3] The Black Nun of Moret, Louise Marie-Thérèse (1664–1732), was a Benedictine nun in the abbey of Moret-sur-Loing. She was called the "Mauresse de Moret" ("Mooress of Moret"), and a portrait of her exists in the Bibliothèque Sainte Geneviève in Paris. Research done by the Société de l'histoire de Paris et d'Ile-de-France, published in 1924 by Honoré Champion éditions,[4] concluded that this pastel portrait was painted around 1680 by the same hand which painted the series of 22 pastel portraits of Kings of France, from Louis IX to Louis XIV, between 1681 and 1683 on the initiative of Father Claude Du Molinet (1620–1687), librarian of Sainte Geneviève abbey. No fewer than six writers from the time have devoted paragraphs to her: she is mentioned in the memoirs of Madame de Maintenon, the Grande Mademoiselle, Madame de Montespan, Duke of Saint-Simon, Voltaire, and Cardinal Dubois.

>Shortly after the death of the French Queen Maria Theresa of Spain, wife of Louis XIV, in 1683, courtiers said that this woman could be the daughter, allegedly black, to whom the Queen gave birth in 1664. The nun herself seemed convinced of her royal birth, and Saint-Simon states that she once greeted the Dauphin as "my brother". A letter sent on June 13, 1685, by the Secretary of the King's Household to M. De Bezons, general agent of the clergy, and the pension of 300 pounds granted by King Louis XIV to the nun Louise Marie-Thérèse on October 15, 1695, "to be paid to her all her life in this convent or everywhere she could be, by the guards of the Royal treasure present and to come"[citation needed] suggest that she may, indeed, have had royal connections. She died at Moret-sur-Loing.[citation needed]

What are the benefits of volley fire over fire at will? What if you've got a few great archers in your unit and they can use stronger bows and fire more accurately, wouldn't you want them to start firing as soon as they felt they could and not when the general decides to volley
>>2204573
Very generally, (but I want to stress that this has huge variations even in western Europe), archery fire on the field of battle wasn't to cause a lot of direct loss, but to disrupt formation cohesiveness, absorb momentum; they were a support weapon most of the time.
Even if you get a few lucky shots and kill an enemy or two, that's almost certainly going to be less than the impact on enemy morale and cohesion when a section of their line suddenly gets arrows all over the place and pounding into people. Remember, those effects are temporary; while they might grow ragged and maybe even balk or break, given enough time, they'll recover and reform their lines, rally.
If you start having a few arrows, especially at extreme range, two problems result. Firstly, you give the enemy more time to recover, maybe even pull back out of range and re-form again. Secondly, you really want that volley to be timed with some sharper push, either of horse or of foot, in melee. Disrupt them with arrows, send in your own (better formed higher morale) infantry, break them, win the battle. But that requires a bit of coordination, which is never easy on a medieval or earlier battlefield, and gets worse if every archer is doing whatever he wants.
>>2204600
Damn, great explanation. Thanks anon, I do remember hearing longbow men would fire volleys into where an enemy would go to stop them going there and make them go the way you want them to. Guess films have ruined me making me they went for high k/d ratios as opposed to support.
Another related question why I have you and hear me out as it's the best way I can explain. On battlefields did they ever have a single great archer mixed in with infantry like a legolas character for taking out high ranking officers, engineers, etc?

I've never heard of such. Doesn't mean it didn't happen somewhere, but it certainly wasn't a common thing.
If you were to have access to a Time Machine and have the option to time travel anywhere, where would you go to and what time would you want to visit?
If it goes forward, then I go to a time when my country sucks less. If it only goes back, I go to very early first century Palestine to try and find a cult leader named Yeshua and see what all the fuss is about for myself.

Corporatism was used by fascist Italy, Hitler's Germany, Peron's Argentina, Franco's Spain, Salazar's Portugal, WW2 Hungary, and the 1900-1970's nordic countries.
How effective was it in each of these cases? Why were some examples more effective than others? Could it work today?
>>2220262
Won't write your essay for you, and most of the assertions in your post are outright incorrect or fall under destructive oversimplification.
Try again anon.
>>2220333
Could you explain where I was incorrect and oversimplified?
>>2220495
To describe all of the countries you listed as corporatist ignores the gargantuan differences in economic management and policy between them, to the point of rendering the term meaningless.
You need to narrow your question, and use a few examples in a limited time frame to attempt to understand that geo-temporal variant of corpoeatism

>jewish clerics hate jesus for saying he is the son of god, a blasphemous claim, and capture him and demand that their Roman overlords execute him or they will riot. Seeking to avoid a pain in the ass from their jewish subjects, Pontious Pilate offers to punish another criminal, the murderer Barabbas, to placate their blood lust because he doesnt want to punish an innocent man. The jews demand that they crucify Jesus instead until Pilate finally gives in and washes his hands of guilt, while he and the jewish mob both agree that it is the jews who want Jesus crucified

>The roman government decides to arrest and crucify some random religious guy with a following of like 30 people for vague non descript reasons
which one of these is the truth?
Neither.
First one
The elders didn't want another round of murders and persecutions because of yet another messianic cult denying roman authority, so they wanted to nip this one in the bud.
