I heard of them as historical victims who were warriors of science or something. I know the the hhird one got a movie about her which I've never seen.
What I've read of them points to propaganda on both sides. Who are the best researchers to read to learn about those three, what they stood for, and how their relations with their lands' authorities (be they secular or divine) were like?

In the 1700/1800s how popular was classical music? How did this compare to the songs you might hear at a pub/bar at night or other folk/local music vs Mozart or Chopin?
Who listened to classical music and how did it spread in popularity?

Depictions of ancient Greek soldiers show them in a cuirass and helmet and occasionally with greaves. Never do they seem to be wearing anything to protect their hands, forearms, thighs, groins, or even their necks. Wikipedia states:
"Little other armor was worn, and fatal blows to unprotected areas (such as the bladder or neck) are recorded in ancient art and poetry."
Why didn't the Greeks armor their warriors more comprehensively?

I'm asking more specifically about the French intervention phase from 1635-1648. In my research, I'm seeing a lot of information on Scottish involvement, but I'm more interested in how the Irish were involved. I realize, however, that many were probably extremely occupied with the Three Kingdoms Wars, famine, and various rebellions at the time. So, I understand that they may not have been involved at all. I did find a work called "Irish Participation in Scandianavian Armies during the Thirty Years' War" but have no access to the document and, accounting for the spelling error, am unsure of the piece's validity regardless.

I listened to BBC podcast interview discussing her book The Emergence of the English (Past Imperfect) where in 45 minutes she lays out her thesis. I must say I’m not fully convinced. Centrally, she can’t really explain away why the British started speaking English. It can’t be because it was a multilingual world and it just happened to be the easiest to learn so it stuck. She also had a rather silly analogy of archaeologists in the distant future discovering an Ikea in England and concluding the country was conquered by Swedes at one point, as a means of explaining away german artifacts.
I can accept the idea of a german invasion as being exaggerated or simplistic , but I think her conjectures are misguided.

If the change from "We are fighting for slavery" to "We were fighting for states' rights" was immediate, why did the people who were so proud to defend slavery in 1860 as the "cornerstone" of their new government suddenly become interested in covering up their motives? I would have thought most would have said in, say, 1866, "We were fighting for slavery and you were wrong to make us give it up."
