Genevieve
Saint Genevieve (Sainte Geneviève) ( Nanterre , c. 419/422 – Paris 502/512), in Latin Sancta Genovefa , from Germanic keno (kin) and wefa (wife), is the patron saint of Paris in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition. Her feast is kept on 3 January. She was born in Nanterre and moved to Paris after encountering Germanus of Auxerre and Lupus of Troyes and dedicated herself to a Christian life. [ 1 ] In 451 she led a "prayer marathon" [ 2 ] that was said to have saved Paris by diverting Attila 's Huns away from the city. When Childeric I besieged the city in 464 and conquered it, she acted as an intermediary between the city and its conqueror, collecting food and convincing Childeric to release his prisoners. [ 1 ] Her cult and her status as patron saint of Paris were promoted by Clotilde , who may have commissioned the writing of her vita .

A prime belief of every Conspiracy Theorist . Zig-Zagged in Real Life - winners, losers, third parties, descendants and people completely unrelated to the conflicts in question tend to write and rewrite and reinterpret history for any number of reasons or agendas, and contemporary authors even on the same "side" can wildly disagree on pretty much anything.
Fleet Marriage
Caricature of a Fleet Marriage A Fleet Marriage is the best-known example of an irregular or a clandestine marriage taking place in England before the Marriage Act 1753 came into force on March 25, 1754. Specifically, it was one which took place in London 's Fleet Prison or its environs during the 17th and, especially, the early 18th century. [ edit ] Irregular and clandestine marriages An "irregular" marriage was one that took place either away from the home parish of the spouses (but after banns or licence ), or at an improper time. "Clandestine" marriages were those that had an element of secrecy to them: perhaps they took place away from a home parish, and without either banns or marriage licence.

Applications of cryptography include ATM cards , computer passwords , and electronic commerce .

The four humors Humorism , or humoralism , is a now discredited (but historically important) theory of the makeup and workings of the human body, adopted by Ancient Greek and Roman physicians and philosophers , positing that an excess or deficiency of any of four distinct bodily fluids in a person directly influences their temperament and health . From Hippocrates onward, the humoral theory was adopted by Greek, Roman and Islamic physicians , and became the most commonly held view of the human body among European physicians until the advent of modern medical research in the nineteenth century. The four humors of Hippocratic medicine are black bile (Gk. melan chole ), yellow bile (Gk. chole ), phlegm (Gk. phlegma ), and blood (Gk. haima ), and each corresponds to one of the traditional four temperaments .
