Einhard was a member of Charlemagne’s court and described him as “my lord and foster-father”. He also wrote that, “no man can write with more accuracy than I of events that took place about me, and of facts which I had personal knowledge.”

Do you think he was biased? How accurate do you think these excerpts are?Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:SINCE I have taken upon myself to narrate the public and private life, and no small part of the deeds, of my lord and foster-father, the most lent and most justly renowned King Charles, I have condensed the matter into as brief a form as possible. I have been careful not to omit any facts that could come to my knowledge, but at the same time not to offend by a prolix style those minds that despise everything modern, if one can possibly avoid offending by a new work men who seem to despise also the masterpieces of antiquity, the works of most learned and luminous writers. Very many of them, l have no doubt, are men devoted to a life of literary leisure, who feel that the affairs of the present generation ought not to be passed by, and who do not consider everything done today as unworthy of mention and deserving to be given over to silence and oblivion , but are nevertheless seduced by lust of immortality to celebrate the glorious deeds of other times by some sort of composition rather than to deprive posterity of the mention of their own names by not writing at all.

Be this as it may, I see no reason why I should refrain from entering upon a task of this kind, since no man can write with more accuracy than I of events that took place about me, and of facts concerning which I had personal knowledge, ocular demonstration as the saying goes, and I have no means of ascertaining whether or not any one else has the subject in hand.

In any event, I would rather commit my story to writing, and hand it down to posterity in partnership with others, so to speak, than to suffer the most glorious life of this most excellent king, the greatest of all the princes of his day, and his illustrious deeds, hard for men of later times to imitate, to be wrapped in the darkness of oblivion.

But there are still other reasons, neither unwarrantable nor insufficient, in my opinion, that urge me to write on this subject, namely, the care that King Charles bestowed upon me in my childhood, and my constant friendship with himself and his children after I took up my abode at court. In this way he strongly endeared me to himself, and made me greatly his debtor as well in death as in life, so that were I unmindful of the benefits conferred upon me, to keep silence concerning the most glorious and illustrious deeds of a man who claims so much at my hands, and suffer his life to lack due eulogy and written memorial, as if he had never lived, I should deservedly appear ungrateful, and be so considered, albeit my powers are feeble, scanty, next to nothing indeed, and not at all adapted to write and set forth a life that would tax the eloquence of a Tully [note: Tully is Marcus Tullius Cicero].

I submit the book. It contains the history of a very great and distinguished man; but there is nothing in it to wonder at besides his deeds, except the fact that I, who am a barbarian, and very little versed in the Roman language, seem to suppose myself capable of writing gracefully and respectably in Latin, and to carry my presumption so far as to disdain the sentiment that Cicero is said in the first book of the Tusculan Disputations to have expressed when speaking of the Latin authors. His words are: "It is an outrageous abuse both of time and literature for a man to commit his thoughts to writing without having the ability either to arrange them or elucidate them, or attract readers by some charm of style." This dictum of the famous orator might have deterred me from writing if I had not made up my mind that it was better to risk the opinions of the world, and put my little talents for composition to the test, than to slight the memory of so great a man for the sake of sparing myself.

Read the excerpt from "Woman's Rights to the Suffrage." It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our [descendants], but to the whole people – women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government – the ballot. Which fact supports Anthony's opinion that all adults should have the right to vote we, the whole people, who formed the Union. they are denied the use of the only means of securing them . . .

wait... who is Catherine Medici??? in ur own words plz

Answers

She was an italian noble woman and also she was the queen of France from 1547-1559

Answer:

Italian-born French queen, regent and mother of three kings of France. She was a powerful influence in 16th century France, particularly during the Wars of Religion.

Caterina Maria Romola di Lorenzo de Medici was born in Florence on 13 April 1519. Her father was Lorenzo de Medici, Duke of Urbino and ruler of Florence and her mother was Madeleine de la Tour d'Auvergne, cousin of Francis I, King of France.

Catherine's mother died when she was two-weeks-old and her father soon afterwards. In 1533, at the age of 14, Catherine's uncle Pope Clement VII arranged her marriage to the duke of Orléans, second son of the king of France.

A year after their marriage, the duke began a long affair with Diane de Poitiers. Diane remained a dominant force in his life for the next 25 years, leaving Catherine sidelined. It was not until ten years after their marriage that Catherine gave birth to their first child. This greatly improved the queen’s position and the couple eventually had seven surviving children.

In 1536, the duke of Orléans became heir to the throne. Eleven years later he was crowned Henry II of France. Unfortunately it was to be a short reign as Henry died in a jousting accident in 1559, thrusting Catherine onto the political stage. Their eldest son Francis was proclaimed king, but died after less than a year. Then in 1560, their second son Charles was crowned, aged just ten years old. Catherine acted as regent for the young king and as a result dominated Charles throughout his reign.

She at first adopted a conciliatory policy towards the Huguenots (French Protestants), but in 1562 civil war broke out in France, marking the beginning of the series of conflicts which became known as the French Wars of Religion.

In 1572, in an effort to bring reconciliation, Catherine arranged the marriage of her daughter Marguerite to the Protestant Henry, King of Navarre. During the wedding celebrations in Paris, the Huguenot leader, Coligny, was murdered, as were hundreds of other Protestants who had gathered for the wedding. This became known as the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, in which Catherine was probably involved.

Charles IX died in 1574 and Catherine's favourite son Henry succeeded as Henry III of France. She continued to play a central role in government and made further fruitless attempts to reconcile the opposing sides in the ongoing civil war.

Catherine died on 5 January 1589 and was buried next to her husband in the church of St Denis in Paris.

1. The direct intentional killing of a defenseless innocent child in the womb is an abomination. Sixty million-plus since 1973. Democrats voted to deny care for children in botched abortions. Trump is the most pro-life president ever who believes that life is precious and begins at the moment of conception. He is decreasing the number of abortions by withholding funds for abortions in America. Biden will increase the number of abortions by doing away with the Hyde Amendment and using taxpayer dollars to pay for them. He will also codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. Let’s not forget, to kill is against God’s Fifth Commandment. And for us Catholics, the United States Bishops Conference says, “The threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks life itself.”

2. During President Trump’s first year in office he signed an executive order upholding religious liberty and the right to engage in religious speech. On May 29, 2019, House Democrats put through a bill that limited religious freedom. Religious organizations would be forced to violate their beliefs or shut down on the basis of discrimination.

3. In May 2019 the Trump administration finalized a rule to protect individuals and health care institutions from discrimination on the basis of their exercise of conscience in Health and Human Services federal programs. Obama and Biden felt no obligation to respect peoples’ consciences. They defunded a program at Catholic charities in Philadelphia to aid women in trafficking because they would not refer these women for abortions. Don’t forget Hobby Lobby and the Little Sisters of the Poor having to go to the Supreme Court to defend their conscience. There are many more examples.

4. Democrats are for socialism. Socialism is evil and can lead to communism. The latest country to try it was Venezuela; the people there are starving. Bernie Sanders is a socialist; Biden owes him.

5. Trump supports school choice to help poor children to get ahead. Democrats? No, they need the teachers’ union’s contributions for their campaign coffers.

6. Trump is for law and order. All cities that are on fire and being looted are run by Democrats. Many Democrats support defunding the police in New York and Chicago, and poor Black children and adults are dying. Murder rates are way up without police.

7. President Trump appointed 200 federal judges who will interpret the Constitution as written. Democrats will approve judges who are activists and will further the Democratic agenda. This is the only way Democrats can advance their agenda because people won’t vote for it.
Work is a valued thing, we shouldn’t just be giving out money to anyone because they just sit around. People in America work so hard for there money to get taxed and given to people on the left.
