(never heard of her! GIMF!)
She was a political leader - ie, she wielded political power and had the authority to negotiate a deal on behalf of people under her sovereignty, small as it was.
Right, you're up.

Just to clarify: This is Geoff's question, since he was the first one to actually give the right answer. Lucky him.

From 1594 onwards, the development of Volley Fire began to have a critical impact. Count William Louis wrote a letter, describing what he had learned from the drill practice used by the Ancient Roman armies, as described by writers such as Aelian. To whom did he send this letter?

That would be his cousin, Maurice of Nassau.

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

Why would mounted cavalry ride in a circle? (I have one specific maneuver in mind. I'll give you "European" to start with.)
