  • Millet Oppidum English
    Château de Millet just situated outside the town of Eauze in the Gers. Devoted to mixed farming and the production of Armagnac, the estate today has 50 hectares of vines for the production of Côtes de Gascogne wines « Domaine de Millet ». The vines enjoy a north westernly position on the green hills of Eauze where the soil alternates between clay limestone and the sandy soils known as 'sables fauves'. Francis Dèche, the proprietor, who follows in the footsteps of five generations has a policy of quality : traditional grape varieties, vineyard cultivation with respect to the environment and constant development in the methods and means of vinification. With his daughter Laurence, who joined him in 1999, they sell a full and varied range that are just waiting to be discovered ! At Millet, the land and its relief tells a story of the history of man . The ruins of a pre-roman oppidum, the currencies and the amphoras discovered near to the vineyard are witnesses of the past. Before building the town of st Elusa in the 1 Century of this era, known today as Eauze, the Elusate people that lived here, learnt how to cultivate vines and appreciate wine from the Romans. OPPIDUM 2007 50% chardonnay, 50% sauvignon The vinification The two grape varieties are vinified separately then blended together and kept in tanks for 6 months. This wine is very original in style with a multitude of nuances that merge to give a surprising floral and spicy flavour . Tasting Notes -White mid dry wine, light in colour with golden yellow highlights -Intense and seductive bouquet with a concentration in floral notes, exotic fruits and soft spice.

  • 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.

  • The Huguenots and Henry of Navarre, Vol. 1
    THE HUGUENOTS aND Henry of Navarre by HENRY MTBAIRD PROFESSOR IN THE UNIVERSITY OP THE CITY OP NEW YORK ; AUTHOR OP THE HISTORY OP THE RISE OF THE HUGUENOTS OF FRANCE WITH MAPS VOL. I. NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1886 THE HUGUENOTS AND HENRY OF NAVARRE Copyright, 188«, by CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS PREFACE. In the History of the Rise of the Huguenots I attempted to trace the progress of the Protestant party in France from the feeble and obscure beginnings of the Reformation to the close of the reign of Charles the Ninth ; when, by reason of heroic struggles, and of the fortitude wherewith persecution and treach ery had been endured, the Huguenots had gained an enviable place in the respect and admiration of Christendom. In the present work I have undertaken to portray the subsequent fort unes of the same valiant people, through a period not less critical and not less replete with varied and exciting incident, down to the formal recognition of their inalienable rights of conscience in a fundamental law of the kingdom, declared to be perpetual and irrevocable. As the Massacre of St. Bartholo mew's Day constituted the most thrilling occurrence related in the former volumes, so in the volumes now offered to the public the promulgation of the Edict of Nantes is the event toward which the action throughout tends, and in relation to which even transactions of little weight in themselves assume importance. A conflict persistently maintained in vindication of an essential principle of morals is always a noble subject of contemplation.
