She was the image of one who had successfully negotiated the transition from attachment to Jesus’ earthly manhood to a more profound and spiritual relationship with his resurrected self. In this, her vocation is similar to Julian’s, for Julian had also learned, through much suffering, that her integrity was founded not in anything the physical world could offer her, but in a spiritual relationship with Christ, developed through loving and persistent prayer.”

MARIE ANTOINETTE Queen of France. Josèphe-Jeanne-Marie Antoinette born in Vienna, Austria in 1775. Marie Antoinette ascended the throne in 1774. She is the youngest daughter of the sixteen children of Maria Theresa, queen of Bohemia and Hungary. Marie Antoinette got married at age 14 to secure a Franco-Austrian alliance to Louis XVI of France. Maria Theresa's (her mother) moral code enabled the court and guided her children. Marie Antoinette adored her loving, highly principled mother, but she was even more attached to her father. His death at the age of fifty-six traumatized the ten-year-old Marie Antoinette, and sadness followed her throughout her life. This burden characterized her intricate personality. She gave birth to 4 children, Marie
Mary Tudor was a hard-working girl who grew up not to love but to survive. She was taken from her mother and her father did not care for a daughter to be under his roof and name. She used all the knowledge her mother had taught her to gain the crown and throne that was rightfully hers. Her becoming queen was the worst thing the council could allow, but no matter how often she failed, she believed in one thing and acted on achieving that belief. Do you think she was mistreated by her family?
Her death, moreover, comes through the agency of an apparently gratuitous and incomprehensible evil. Her ability to accept such a death is therefore the supreme test of her faith. That the grandmother at the moment of death truly embraces the Christian mystery is her great triumph. Although, in Christian terms, such a moment is always a gift, it is one for which the recipient has prepared throughout her life. The grandmother’s most essential attribute is therefore not her meddlesomeness or her smugness, of which there has been considerable evidence throughout the story, but her maternal compassion and concern, and it is through this maternal love that she has her moment of revelation. As O’Connor once described it, “she realizes . . . that she is responsible for the man before her and joined to him by ties of kinship which have their roots deep in the mystery she has been merely prattling about so far.” The action of grace is not confined altogether to the grandmother but begins to undermine The Misfit’s own egotism and sadism. Insisting on the possibility of redemption for even this most evil of her
When Catherine the Great was in her teen years, she had brown hair that was very long, brown dark eyes, her face was slightly pale and she had rosy cheeks. She always wore queen attire or big dresses and her crown or something on her head. As she got older her face became more wrinkled but she tried to stay looking young. Her dresses became bigger and prettier and more mature. She was pretty, smart, rich, and very straight forward with her work.
Julian was born in 1342 in Norwich, England and spent most of her life as an anchorite, a recluse living alone in an closed room attached to the parish church of St Julian of LeMans at Conisford in Norwich. Though few biographic details are known about Julian, it is likely she came from a wealth family as anchoresses had to prove they could support themselves through some form of income before they could be enclosed. Julian’s name could have been her baptism name or she may have followed the custom of taking the name of the saint attached to the church of which she became an anchorite.
Maria Theresa was born in Vienna, Austria at the Hofburg Palace on May 13, 1717 and was the second child and eldest daughter of Charles VI, who was the Holy Roman Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and his wife, Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Since Charles VI was the last remaining male heir to the Habsburg throne as his only son and sole male heir and Maria Theresa eldest brother died shortly before Maria was born. So Charles VI reformed the Salic Law, which prevented any heir who were female to succeed her father as Charles VI feared that he might not produce a son. In 1713 Charles VI issued the Pragmatic Sanction, which ensure his eldest daughter the right to take over and succeed the throne and inherit his united lands when he died. During 1720 Charles VI worked endlessly to earn supports for the Pragmatic sanction from his crown lands and over time they reluctantly agreed to honor and uphold the sanction.
