Throughout the Lais of Marie de France there are several themes presented as central to the various stories. Some of these themes are present in all of the lais. One such example is that of courtly love and it's implications. Courtly love being one of the more prominent themes in all of medieval literature, it is fittingly manifested in all of the lais as well. Another theme present in two of the lais is isolation. The theme of isolation plays a large role in the stories of Guigemar and Lanval. In each of these lais we see isolation as a factor in determining the fates of the central figures. Within each lai isolation is represented on several different occasions, each time having a direct impact on the outcome. These instances of

Thomas Jefferson decided to send men out to explore the new land we owned. He choose his trusted friend, Meriwether Lewis to get a team together. Lewis chose William Clark to help lead the expedition. They organized a crew and gathered supplies to start of their expedition to St.Louis Missouri. While traveling on the Missouri River they found several Indian tribes. In one they met a girl named Sacagawea. She explained to Lewis and Clark, when she was young she was kidnapped and forced to be with a man. She ended up becoming pregnant with his child. They realized she new the woods and could help them travel. She became their guide, transport, and a way to find food. She was reunited with her old tribe along the way through the expedition. She got them horses from her brother Shone for the Americans to finish the rest of their expedition. Once they out passed the Columbia River and down the Rocky Mountains they were on their way home through the Pacific

Over the course of the expedition, Lewis and Clark developed a ritual that we used when meeting a tribe for the first time. The captains would explain to the tribal leaders that the their land now belonged to the United States, and that a man far in the east – President Thomas Jefferson – was their new “great father.” We made peace with the natives and they became very essential and useful on our journey. Along the way we met a lady named Sacajawea who was from the Shoshone tribe and she was the person who helped us the most. She guided us through the land and helped us when we were in need. She knew the ways and we were grateful to have her because we may have not made it without

The expedition spent the winter at Fort Mandan and Sacajawea 's baby, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, was born on Feb. 11 or 12, 1805. He was also given the Shoshone name, Pomp, meaning First Born.The expedition resumed the westward trek on April 7, 1805. Their route was along the Missouri River, west to the mountains. On May 14, 1805 an incident occurred which was typical of the calmness and self-possession Sacajawea was to display throughout the journey. The incident was recorded in the diaries because of it 's significance to the success of the expedition. On that day, the boat Sacajawea was in was hit by a sudden storm squall. It keeled over on it 's side and nearly capsized. As the other members of the crew worked desperately to right the boat, Sacajawea, with her baby strapped to her back, busied herself with retrieving the valuable books and instruments that floated out of the boat. They had been wrapped in waterproof packages for protection and, thanks to Sacajawea 's courage and quick actions, suffered no damage.On August 15, 1805 Sacajawea was re-united with her tribe, only to learn that all her family had died, with the exception of two brothers and the son of her oldest sister, whom she adopted. One of her brothers, Cameahwait, was head chief of the Shoshone. The Shoshone chief agreed to sell the party the horses they needed for the trek through the mountains.

Evidence was hard to come by when you are researching a sixth century crime, but the evidence that Robert Finlay and Natalie Z. Davis found in each of their respective sides, were very compelling. Are you going to believe Finlay, who said that Arnaud duped Bertrande, or Davis, who said Bertrande was in on the “invented marriage.” I believe that Arnaud and Bertrande were in on the “invented marriage” because he wanted a better life and she was neither a wife nor a widow and needed a husband for self-gain.
