How did Saint Catherine of Siena become famous

Catherine became a tertiary (a member of a monastic third order who takes simple vows and may remain outside a convent or monastery) of the Dominican order (1363), joining the Sisters of Penitence of St. Dominic in Siena. She rapidly gained a wide reputation for her holiness and her severe asceticism. When the rebellious city of Florence was placed under an interdict by Pope Gregory XI(1376), Catherine determined to take public action for peace within the church and Italy and to encourage a Crusade against the Muslims. She went as an unofficial mediator to Avignon with her confessor and biographer Raymond of Capua. Her mission failed, and she was virtually ignored by the pope, but while at Avignon she promoted her plans for a Crusade.

It became clear to her that the return of Pope Gregory XI to Rome from Avignon—an idea that she did not initiate and had not strongly encouraged—was the only way to bring peace to Italy. Catherine left for Tuscany the day after Gregory set out for Rome (1376). At his request she went to Florence (1378) and was there during the Ciompi Revolt in June. After a short final stay in Siena, during which she completed The Dialogue (begun the previous year), she went to Rome in November, probably at the invitation of Pope Urban VI, whom she helped in reorganizing the church. From Rome she sent out letters and exhortations to gain support for Urban; as one of her last efforts, she tried to win back Queen Joan I of Naples to obedience to Urban, who had excommunicated the queen for supporting the antipope Clement VII.

Catherine’s writings, all of which were dictated, include about 380 letters, 26 prayers, and the 4 treatises of Il libro della divina dottrina, better known as the The Dialogue, (c. 1475; Eng. trans. by Suzanne Noffke, 1980). The record of her ecstatic experiences in The Dialogue illustrates her doctrine of the “inner cell” of the knowledge of God and of self into which she withdrew. A complete edition of Catherine’s works, together with her biography by Raymond, was published in Siena (1707–21).

The Line of Demarcation established a boundary between Spain and Portugal.

SOVA2 [1]

The Line of Demarcation between Spanish and Portuguese territory was first defined by Pope Alexander VI (1493) and was later revised by the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494). Spain won control of lands discovered west of the line, while Portugal gained rights to new lands to the east.
The idea of this was to separate distinctively the colonies of Spain (most of latin america) and Portugal (Brazil and most of Africa) thus avoiding a war.

How is your credit score determined

melisa1 [442]

Payment history is by far the most important factor of your credit report. It's essential to pay your bills on time, every single time. Any late payment is going to have a significant effect on credit scores. Your payment history accounts for about 35% of a credit score.

Utilization, which is the balance-to-limit ratio on your credit cards, is the second most important criteria. You never want a balance to be higher than 30 % of the credit limit on a single credit card or in total. To determine your utilization rate, add up all of your balances and all of your credit limits and divide the total of your balances by the total of your limits. That percentage should not be more than 30% as a maximum. The lower the percentages, the better. It's ideal to pay your balances in full each month. Length of credit history, which is based on the length of time each account has been open andyour credit mix, which is the different kinds of accounts you have including mortgage, credit cards, auto loans, etc. Having a variety of credit types can increase your score slightly, but you should not apply for a number of accounts all at once to try to improve this element. Doing so will do more harm than good because of the next element.

Recent activity looks at how much credit you've received or applied for in recent months. Specifically, it will look at if you have applied for new credit in the past 3-6 months, new inquiries, and whether you are paying off accounts or taking on more debt.

Overall capacity, such as how much installment debt is outstanding.

If you get a credit score, it will list the risk factors that are most affecting that number. You should focus on those factors and address those issues on the credit report and your scores will take care of themselves.

What was the state of the French government during napoleons exile answer ASAP

fredd [130]

It was Louis XVIII the brother of Louis XVI who took over the rule in France during Napoleon's exile in 1815.

France after 1815

After Napoleon abdicated as emperor in March 1814, Louis XVIII, the brother of Louis XVI, was installed as king and France was granted a quite generous peace settlement, restored to its 1792 boundaries and not required to pay war indemnity.

On becoming king, Louis issued a constitution known as the Charter which preserved many of the liberties won during the French Revolution and provided for a parliament composed of an elected Chamber of Deputies and a Chamber of Peers that was nominated by the king.

A constitution, the Charter of 1814, was drafted; it presented all Frenchmen as equal before the law, but retained substantial prerogative for the king and nobility and limited voting to those paying at least 300 francs a year in direct taxes.

this was the state of france during his exile.

How was geographic location important to economic,social,And political development of Ancient Rome?

Lilit [14]

The Roman Empire had excellent strategic location, having numerous peninsulas, surrounding all of the Mediterranean Sea, and having its central power i the middle, thus safe.

Explanation:

The Roman Empire, at its peak, was stretching in the Apennine, Iberian, and Balkan peninsulas, Western Europe, Britain, the Mediterranean coastline of Northern Africa and the Middle East, and Anatolia. Not just that the territory was vast, but it had huge advantages, especially when it came to economy and military conquests or defense. Pretty much all of the empire was surrounded by natural protective features, such as large bodies of water, large rivers, mountain ranges etc.

This led to the Roman Empire to be able to control the entirety of the trade in the Mediterranean, thus all of the regions that were surrounding the empire as well, as everything had to go through them. That brought in lot of wealth to the empire. Having its capital and home territory in the middle, with the power concentrated in it, contributed to preservation and spreading out of the Roman culture.

The social impact on the Apennine Peninsula was not big, but the social impact on all of the rest of the empire was huge. Not just that the Romans were imposing their culture, language, and law, but lot of people wanted themselves to be Romanized as they saw it as advantage. The politics in Rome were unique, as it had a bicameral legislature, which in turn led to development of much more reliant, but also controlled government.
