Martin le Franc c. 1410 &ndash 1461 was a France French poet of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance . He was born in Normandy , and studied in Paris . He entered clerical orders, becoming an prothonotary apostolic prothonotary , and later becoming secretary to both Antipope Felix V and Pope Nicholas V .

Le Franc s most famous work was his huge, 24,000 verse composition Le Champion des Dames The Champion of Women , dedicated to Philip the Good and dating from 1440 or 1442 first printed in Lyon in 1485 and again in Paris in 1530 . It recounts the nobility and deeds of many women throughout history, including Joan of Arc , and also fiercely attacks corruption in government as well as the hedonistic luxury of the aristocratic class. It was Illuminated manuscript illuminated by Peronet Lamy . Martin le Franc is famous in music history for penning the phrase la contenance angloise , the English countenance, a much debated phrase referring to a characteristically English sound found in the music of composers such as John Dunstaple . The countenance &mdash probably consonant, sweet sounds which were predominant in the music of contemporary English composers &mdash was massively influential on the music of the Burgundian School during the period that Burgundy was allied with England. Another long poem by Le Franc is L Estrif de Fortune et Vertu 1447 1448 , which was also moralistic and didactic, presenting a debate between Fortune and Virtue. Bibliography Le Franc, Martin.

The term Carolinian zone is used in Canada to refer to the southernmost part of the province of Ontario , generally considered to lie south of a line drawn between Toronto, Ontario Toronto and Grand Bend, Ontario . This region is the northern continuation of the deciduous forest region of the eastern United States which extends south to the Carolinas . Besides its southern location, the climate of this area is also moderated by the nearby Great Lakes , so it is able to support animal and plant species usually not found in other parts of Canada. Because the major population centres of Ontario are located nearby, there has been significant loss of wetlands and forested areas to urban areas and farms.
