When Marco Polo arrived at Kublai Khan's court he became a favorite of the Khan and was employed for 17 years and was sent on voyages and was given permission to trade freely throughout China.\n\nIn 1291, Kublai entrusted Marco with his last duty, to escort the Mongol princess Koekecin (Cocacin in Il Milione) to her betrothed, the Ilkhan Arghun. \nI think he escorted the princess to her future husband and then returned to Europe.  It didn't say he married her.\n In 1300, he married Donata Badoer, a woman from an old, respected patrician family. Marco would have three children with her: Fantina, Bellela and Moreta. All of them later married into noble families.

If your project is due tomorrow you can't do this, but if you have some time you should go see the film "The Queen" that's out right now. It is about Queen Elizabeth II. Not that that's going to be enough to do your report on, but it will give you a feel for her before you actually read up about her.

It's from the Count of Monte Christo by Baroness D'Orcay (not sure of the spelling here)so maybe if you look that up on the net - I think it was 'All the money to buy Italy' - but i'm not 100% sure. Chapter 18 of the book tings a bell - Good Luck!

I just had to do a project on France for some future traveling I plan on doing, and www.cia.gov has a factbook.  This is an amazing feature and you will find everything there.  Give it a try!

That might be tough.  I don't think China makes that information as ready to the public as the U.S.  You might want to look at the World Bank's annual report at worldbank.org.  I did find a good site which lists a lot of information about China's economy- http://www.gwu.edu/~econ270/Taejoon.html -  It's from George Washington University, so I think you can trust thier figures.

hmmm.... to do that you need to know the British economics.... their "real inflation rate" which would tell you how much 1000 pounds is worth in Britain today.  Then find out today's exchange rate.\n\nSue
