Question: The person paid for Chopin's funeral invited him to the country with a lion in its coat of arms. When did the country with a coat of arms of stringed agent gain its independence from England?

<P0-S0> possibly the first venture into fictional treatments of chopin's life was a fanciful operatic version of some of its events. <P0-S1> chopin was written by giacomo orefice and produced in milan in 1901. all the music is derived from that of chopin. <SEP> <P1-S0> She clearly had a notion of going beyond mere friendship, and Chopin was obliged to make it clear to her that this could not be so. <P1-S1> In late summer he was invited by Jane Stirling to visit Scotland, where he stayed at Calder House near Edinburgh and at Johnstone Castle in Renfrewshire, both owned by members of Stirling's family. <P1-S2> He wrote at this time to Grzymała "My Scottish ladies are kind, but such bores", and responding to a rumour about his involvement, answered that he was "closer to the grave than the nuptial bed." <P1-S3> He gave a public concert in Glasgow on 27 September, and another in Edinburgh, at the Hopetoun Rooms on Queen Street (now Erskine House) on 4 October. <P1-S4> In late October 1848, while staying at 10 Warriston Crescent in Edinburgh with the Polish physician Adam Łyszczyński, he wrote out his last will and testament—"a kind of disposition to be made of my stuff in the future, if I should drop dead somewhere", he wrote to Grzymała. <SEP> <P2-S0> The six northeastern counties, known as Northern Ireland, remained within the United Kingdom. <P2-S1> The Irish Civil War followed soon after the War of Independence. <P2-S2> In 1922, after the Irish War of Independence and the Anglo - Irish Treaty, most of Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom to become the independent Irish Free State, which after the 1937 constitution, began to call itself Ireland. <P2-S3> The history of Northern Ireland has since been dominated by sporadic sectarian conflict between (mainly Catholic) Irish nationalists and (mainly Protestant) unionists. <P2-S4> This conflict erupted into the Troubles in the late 1960s, until peace was achieved with the Belfast Agreement thirty years later. <SEP> <P3-S0> The expenses of the funeral and monument, amounting to 5,000 francs, were covered by Jane Stirling, who also paid for the return of the composer's sister Ludwika to Warsaw. <P3-S1> Chopin's tombstone, featuring the muse of music, Euterpe, weeping over a broken lyre, was designed and sculpted by Clésinger. <P3-S2> Ludwika took Chopin's heart in an urn, preserved in alcohol, back to Poland in 1850. <P3-S3> [n 9] She also took a collection of two hundred letters from Sand to Chopin; after 1851 these were returned to Sand, who seems to have destroyed them. <SEP> <P4-S0> The supporters are the Lion and the Unicorn; the motto is "Dieu et mon droit" (French: "God and my Right"). <P4-S1> Surrounding the shield is a representation of a Garter bearing the motto of the Chivalric order of the same name; "Honi soit qui mal y pense". <P4-S2> (Old French: "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it"). <P4-S3> In Scotland, the monarch uses an alternative form of the arms in which quarters I and IV represent Scotland, II England, and III Ireland. <P4-S4> The Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom are "Quarterly, I and IV Gules three lions passant guardant in pale Or [for England]; II Or a lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory Gules [for Scotland]; III Azure a harp Or stringed Argent [for Ireland]". <P4-S5> The mottoes are "In Defens" (an abbreviated form of the Scots "In My Defens God Me Defend") and the motto of the Order of the Thistle; "Nemo me impune lacessit". <P4-S6> (Latin: "No-one provokes me with impunity"); the supporters are the unicorn and lion, who support both the escutcheon and lances, from which fly the flags of Scotland and England. <SEP> <P5-S0> chopin's relations with sand were soured in 1846 by problems involving her daughter solange and solange's fiancé, the young fortune-hunting sculptor auguste clésinger. <P5-S1> the composer frequently took solange's side in quarrels with her mother; he also faced jealousy from sand's son maurice. <P5-S2> chopin was utterly indifferent to sand's radical political pursuits, while sand looked on his society friends with disdain. <P5-S3> as the composer's illness progressed, sand had become less of a lover and more of a nurse to chopin, whom she called her "third child". <P5-S4> in letters to third parties, she vented her impatience, referring to him as a "child," a "little angel", a "sufferer" and a "beloved little corpse." <P5-S5> in 1847 sand published her novel lucrezia floriani, whose main characters—a rich actress and a prince in weak health—could be interpreted as sand and chopin; the story was uncomplimentary to chopin, who could not have missed the allusions as he helped sand correct the printer's galleys. <P5-S6> in 1847 he did not visit nohant, and he quietly ended their ten-year relationship following an angry correspondence which, in sand's words, made "a strange conclusion to nine years of exclusive friendship." <P5-S7> the two would never meet again.
