| | | | | Dauphin: Encyclopedia II - Surrey - Physical geography Surrey contains a good deal of mature woodland (reflected in the official logo of Surrey County Council, a pair of interlocking oak leaves). Among its many notable beauty spots are Box Hill, Leith Hill, Frensham Ponds and Puttenham Common. It is apparently the most wooded county in Great Britain and Box Hill has the oldest untouched area of natural woodland in the UK, one of the oldest in Europe.
Much of Surrey is in the Green Belt and is rolling downland, the county's geology being dominated by the chalk hills of the North Downs. Agr ...

| | | | | Dauphin: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Orléans - Aftermath Volunteers of men and supplies swelled the French army in the weeks that followed this victory. First clearing the Loire valley, then marching on Rheims to the north for the coronation of Charles VII, and finally attacking foreign held Paris, the 1429 offensive made this one of the most important years of the Hundred Years' War.
The French Loire campaign of 1429 consisted of five actions:
1. The Siege of Orléans.
2. The Battle of Jargeau.
3. The Battle of Meung-sur-Loire.
4. The Battle of Bea ...

| | | | | | | Dauphin: Encyclopedia II - John Duke of Burgundy - John vs Armagnac Even with the Orléans dispute resolved to his favour, John would not have an easy life. Charles gathered allies, among them Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac, to support his claims for the property that had been confiscated from him. Peace was solemnly sworn in 1410, and John returned to Burgundy, and Bernard remained in Paris and reportedly shared the queen's bed. Armagnac's party was not contented with political power, and, after a series of riots and attacks against the citizens, John was recalled to t ...

| | | | | Dauphin: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Orléans - Battle of the Herrings The most significant military action following the investment of the city prior to Joan's arrival in late April of 1429 took place to the north of the besieged city of Orleans outside a small French town by name of Rouvray. Here, on February 12, 1429, several thousand French and Scottish soldiers attempted unsuccessfully to intercept and divert an English supply convoy in an action which has come to be known to history as the Battle of the Herrings, so named because the convoy was carryi ...

| | | | | Dauphin: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Orléans - Background The larger background to the siege of Orléans is provided by the Hundred Years' War between France and England, an ongoing struggle for supremacy in France which had its beginnings in 1337 when the English King Edward III decided to press his claim to the French throne, a claim which was based in part on ancient inheritance from William the Conqueror, augmented by inheritance from strategic marriages.
The more immediate background can be traced to the Treaty of Troyes of 1420 under the terms of which the then English king, Henry V, b ...

Manitoba - Founding of the Legislative Assembly.
The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba was established on July 14, 1870. At that time Manitoba attained full fledged provincial rights and responsibilities of self-government.
Manitoba was unusual in its leap to provincial status. Eastern Canada, Saskatchewan and Alberta all had intervening periods of apprenticeship as territories before becoming provinces. Only British Columbia had circumst ...

| | | | | Dauphin: Encyclopedia II - Manitoba - Economy
Manitoba - Pre-Confederation.
Manitoba's early economy was one that depended on mobility and living off the land. A number of native tribes that included the Cree, Ojibwa, Dene, Sioux and Assinibone followed herds of bison and congregated to trade among themselves at key meeting places throughout the province.
The first fur-traders entering the province in the 17th century changed the dynamics of the economy of Manitoba forever. For the first time, permanent settlements were created and communties evolved over time. Most of the ...

The county town is Guildford, which despite having a University, a Castle and a Cathedral is not a city. Unusually, the county administration is based outside of the county's current boundaries in Kingston upon Thames and has been since 1965 when that area, and others, were included within Greater London. There are plans to move the offices to a new site in Woking. [1].
Due to its proximity to London there are a many commuter towns and vi ...

| | | | | Dauphin: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Orléans - Joan's arrival at Orléans At about this time, and in fact for years prior to that, vague prophesies had been circulating in France concerning an armed maid who would rescue France. Many of these prophesies foretold that the armed maid would come from the region of Lorraine, where Domremy, Joan's birthplace, was located. As a result, when word reached the besieged citizens of Orléans concerning Joan's journey to see the King, expectations and hope were high.
Joan arrived in Chinon in early March, at which time she met with the Dauphin. Following this, she was ...

| | | | | | Dauphin: Encyclopedia II - History of Austria - Babenberg Austria After the defeat of the Magyars by Emperor Otto the Great in the Battle of Lechfeld (955), new Marches were established in what is today Austria. The one known as the marchia orientalis was to become the core territory of Austria and was given to Leopold of Babenberg in 976.
The Marches were overseen by a comes or dux as appointed by the king. The most normal translation of these offices is count or duke, but these titles conveyed very different meanings in the Early Middle Ages, and the Latin terminology is prefe ...

Following the defeat of Austria-Hungary in World War I, in the Aftermath of World War I the Empire was broken up based loosely on national grounds. Austria, with its modern borders, was created out of the main German speaking areas. On November 12, 1918, Austria became a republic.
Immediately after the war, the newly-formed Austrian parliament asked for a union with Germany. It was often feared that small Austria was not economically viable. In the end France and Italy prevented the merg ...
