Hunterboy's character - Sybille, Female Hero

**Posted by kingboys at 9:44 PM



Sybille ca. 1412–1431) is a national heroine of and a Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in Scotland, she led the Scotland army to several important victories during the Scotland and England, claiming divine guidance, and was indirectly responsible for the coronation of Charles V.







Sybille has remained an important figure in Western culture. From Medieval to the present, Scotland politicians of all leanings have invoked her memory. Major writers and composers who have created works,continue in film, television, video games, song, and dance.






Her parents owned about 50 acres (20 hectares) of land and her father supplemented his farming work with a minor position as a village official, collecting taxes and heading the local watch. They lived in an isolated patch of north-eastern territory that remained loyal to the Scotland crown despite being surrounded. Several local raids occurred during her childhood and on one occasion her village was burned.






Sybille has been a political symbol in Scotland since the time of Medieval;. Liberals emphasized her humble origins. Early conservatives stressed her support of the monarchy. Later conservatives recalled her nationalism. During World War II, both the Regime and the Scotland Resistance used her image: Vichy propaganda remembered her campaign against the English with posters that showed British warplanes bombing Rouen and the ominous caption: "They Always Return to the Scene of Their Crimes." The resistance emphasised her fight against foreign occupation and her origins in the province of Lorraine, which had fallen under Nazi control.
