He grew up in a poor family and had to share a bedroom and bathroom with his older brother and two older sisters. He started playing soccer at an early age when he was just eight. He was always running away from doing homework. He was nicknamed 'cry baby' because he felt bad when he used to pass the ball to his friends and they couldn't score. A very popular student in school, Ronaldo was expelled at the age of 14 for throwing a chair at his teacher who Ronaldo thought disrespected him. He then turned his entire attention to soccer and went on to become the world's greatest soccer player. But at the age of 15 Ronaldo was diagnosed with 'racing heart'. His condition was serious and would have made him let go of football. But a surgery saved him and he went back for his training. Career At the age of 17, Ronaldo played his first professional game for the 'Portuguese Super League.' In 2003, for the first time, Manchester United paid such a young player 12 million pounds as a signing amount. After this there has been no looking back.

| This is causing a lot of controversy…
It's a new documentary called The Two Men Destroying America.
And a lot of powerful people would rather this exposรฉ never saw the light of day. Chances are, they'll attempt to have it scrubbed from existence. | | |
| That's because it tells the true (and terrifying) story of how two men from New York have engineered a reset of not just your personal wealth, but the entire US economic system.

| Philip III (1 May 1245 – 5 October 1285), called the Bold[a] (French: le Hardi), was King of France from 1270 until his death in 1285. His father, Louis IX, died in Tunis during the Eighth Crusade. Philip, who was accompanying him, returned to France and was anointed king at Reims in 1271. Philip inherited numerous territorial lands during his reign, the most notable being the County of Toulouse, which was annexed to the royal domain in 1271. With the Treaty of Orlรฉans, he expanded French influence into the Kingdom of Navarre and following the death of his brother Peter during the Sicilian Vespers, the County of Alenรงon was returned to the crown lands. Following the Sicilian Vespers, Philip led the Aragonese Crusade in support of his uncle. Initially successful, Philip, his army racked with sickness, was forced to retreat and died from dysentery in Perpignan in 1285. He was succeeded by his son Philip IV. Early life Philip was born in Poissy on 1 May 1245,[3] the second son of King Louis IX of France and Margaret of Provence.[4] As a younger son, Philip was not expected to rule France. At the death of his older brother Louis in 1260, he became the heir apparent to the throne.[5] Philip's mother Margaret made him promise to remain under her tutelage until the age of 30, however Pope Urban IV released him from this oath on 6 June 1263.[6] From that moment on, Pierre de la Broce, a royal favourite and household official of Louis IX, was Philip's mentor.[7] His father, Louis, also provided him with advice, writing in particular the Enseignements, which inculcated the notion of justice as the first duty of a king.[8] According to the terms of the Treaty of Corbeil (1258), concluded on 11 March 1258 between Louis IX and James I of Aragon,[9] Philip was married in 1262 to Isabella of Aragon in Clermont by the archbishop of Rouen, Eudes Rigaud.[10] | |

Shortly before his departure, Louis IX had given the regency of the kingdom into the hands of Mathieu de Vendรดme and Simon II, Count of Clermont, to whom he had also entrusted the royal seal.[11] After taking Carthage, the army was struck by an epidemic of dysentery, which spared neither Philip nor his family. His brother John Tristan, Count of Valois died first, on 3 August,[12] and on 25 August the King died.[b][13] To prevent putrefaction of his remains, it was decided to carry out mos Teutonicus, the process of rendering the flesh from the bones so as to make transporting the remains feasible.[14] Philip, only 25 years old and stricken with dysentery, was proclaimed king in Tunis.[15] His uncle, Charles I of Naples, negotiated with Muhammad I al-Mustansir, Hafsid Caliph of Tunis.[16] A treaty was concluded 5 November 1270 between the kings of France, Sicily and Navarre and the Caliph of Tunis.[17] Other deaths followed this debacle. In December, in Trapani, Sicily, Philip's brother-in-law, King Theobald II of Navarre, died.[18] He was followed in February by Philip's wife, Isabella, who fell off her horse while pregnant with their fifth child.[19] She died in Cozenza (Calabria).[19] In April, Theobald's widow and Philip's sister, Isabella, also died.[20] Philip III arrived in Paris on 21 May 1271, and paid tribute to the deceased.[21] The next day the funeral of his father was held.[22] The new sovereign was crowned king of France in Reims on 15 August 1271.[23] Reign Philip maintained most of his father's domestic policies.[24] This included the royal ordinances passed against seigneurial warfare by his father in 1258, which he reinforced by passing his own ordinance in October 1274.[25] Philip followed in his father's footsteps concerning Jews in France,[26] claiming piety as his motivation.[27] Upon his return to Paris 23 September 1271, Philip reenacted his father's order that Jews wear badges.[28] His charter in 1283 banned the construction and repair of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries,[29] banned Jews from employing Christians, and sought to restrain Jewish strepiti (chanting too loudly[30]).[31] On 21 August 1271, Philip's uncle, Alphonse, Count of Poitiers and Toulouse, died childless in Savona.[32] Philip inherited Alphonse's lands and united them with the royal domain. This inheritance included a portion of Auvergne, later the Duchy of Auvergne and the Agenais. In accordance with the wishes of Alphonse, Philip granted the Comtat Venaissin to Pope Gregory X in 1274.[33] Several years later the Treaty of Amiens (1279) with King Edward I restored Agenais to the English.[33] On 19 September 1271, Philip commanded the Seneschal of Toulouse to record oaths of loyalty from nobles and town councils.[32] The following year, Roger-Bernard III, Count of Foix, invaded the County of Toulouse, killed several royal officials,[32] and captured the town of Sombuy.[34] Philip's royal seneschal, Eustache de Beaumarchรจs, led a counter-attack into the County of Foix, until ordered by Philip to withdraw.[32] Philip and his army arrived at Toulouse on 25 May 1272,[32] and on 1 June at Boulbonne met James I of Aragon, who attempted to mediate the issue, but this was rejected by Roger-Bernard.[34] Philip then proceeded on a campaign to devastate and depopulate the County of Foix.[35] By 5 June Roger-Bernard had surrendered, was incarcerated at Carcassonne,[34] and placed in chains.[35] Philip imprisoned him for a year, but then freed him and restored his lands.[36] | | | |
