  • League of the Public Weal, 1465
    League of the Public Weal, 1465 It is not necessary to hope in order to undertake, nor to succeed in order to persevere. —Charles the Bold Dear Delegates, Welcome to WUMUNS 2018! My name is Josh Zucker, and I am excited to be your director for the League of the Public Weal. I am currently a junior studying Systems Engineering and Economics. I have always been interested in history (specifically ancient and medieval history) and politics, so Model UN has been a perfect fit for me. Throughout high school and college, I’ve developed a passion for exciting Model UN weekends, and I can’t wait to share one with you! Louis XI, known as the Universal Spider for his vast reach and ability to weave himself into all affairs, is one of my favorite historical figures. His continual conflicts with Charles the Bold of Burgundy and the rest of France’s nobles are some of the most interesting political struggles of the medieval world. Louis XI, through his tireless work, not only greatly transformed the monarchy but also greatly strengthened France as a kingdom and set it on its way to becoming the united nation we know today. This committee will transport you to France as it reinvents itself after the Hundred Years War. Louis XI, the current king of France, is doing everything in his power to reform and reinvigorate the French monarchy. Many view his reign as tyranny. You, the nobles of France, strive to keep the monarchy weak. For that purpose, you have formed the League of the Public Weal.

    Tariquet, a Gascony success story - French Wine News Page 1 of 2 Tariquet, a Gascony success story FrenchWineNews | March 12th, 2012 Like Send Château de Tariquet, the veritable driving force behind Côtes de Gascogne wines, is celebrating its one-hundredth birthday this year, as well as the thirtieth birthday of its “Classic” cuvee, the Château’s emblematic white wine. Let’s take a look back through the remarkable history of the Grassa family. 1912, 1982, 2012. Three dates, three key moments in the history of a modest Gers estate that, over time, established itself as one of the most spectacular success stories in the South-West winemaking region. And it has been exactly one- hundred years since Château de Tariquet entered into the Artaud family – later becoming the Grassa family – and thirty years since the birth of the “Classic” cuvee, which symbolizes the estate’s commercial success. 2012 thus marks a double anniversary and a great one as well! But Château de Tariquet’s roots go even deeper: its vines have been producing Armagnac since at least the end of the 17th century. It was in 1912 that Pierre Artaud, a bear trainer from Ariège who made his fortune in the United States, bought Château de Tariquet in the Gers region of France. At the time, the estate only produced Armagnac. During the 1920s, his son, Jean-Pierre, who worked as a bartender in New York and was seriously injured during the war, returned to France permanently in order to allow the estate to remain within the family fold. In 1946, Hélène, Jean-Pierre Artaud’s daughter, married Pierre Grassa from the Béarn province, who distinguished himself in the Resistance during the German occupation.

As the kingdom of France consolidated and royal authority was extended, political power became centered in the person of the king and his bureaucratic advisers. One consequence was the decline or once powerful members of the feudal aristocracy and the queen. In the time of the early Capetians, the queen had been a true partner in power with the king, traveling with him and sharing the same household. But by 1500, she was excluded from power and participation in government, and her intimacy with the ld.ng was undermined by the formation of a separate household. By the thirteenth century the governmental functions of the queen were ceremonial, decorative, or sym­ bolic. Thus it was only under extraordinary circumstances that a queen could gain independent political power, and such was the fate of Isabeau of Bavaria. When she married Charles VI, ld.ng or France, in 1385, he was under a regency controlled by four dukes, but in three years Charles asserted his sole authority by releasing them.
