It was directed by Andy Tennant and stars Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, Dougray Scott, and Jeanne Moreau. The screenplay is written by Tennant, Susannah Grant, and Rick Parks. The original music score is composed by George Fenton. Ever After (known in promotional material as Ever After: A Cinderella Story) is a 1998 American romantic drama film inspired by the fairy tale "Cinderella". The film's closing theme song "Put Your Arms Around Me" is performed by the rock band Texas. <SEP> nobles were born into a noble family, adopted by a noble family (this was abolished in 1633) or ennobled by a king or sejm for various reasons (bravery in combat, service to the state, etc.—yet this was the rarest means of gaining noble status). many nobles were, in actuality, really usurpers, being commoners, who moved into another part of the country and falsely pretended to noble status. hundreds of such false nobles were denounced by hieronim nekanda trepka in his liber generationis plebeanorium (or liber chamorum) in the first half of the 16th century. the law forbade non-nobles from owning nobility-estates and promised the estate to the denouncer. trepka was an impoverished nobleman who lived a townsman life and collected hundreds of such stories hoping to take over any of such estates. it does not seem he ever succeeded in proving one at the court. many sejms issued decrees over the centuries in an attempt to resolve this issue, but with little success. it is unknown what percentage of the polish nobility came from the 'lower' orders of society, but most historians agree that nobles of such base origins formed a 'significant' element of the szlachta. <SEP> Userkaf's mortuary temple and cult pyramid are today completely ruined and difficult to recognize. The pyramid of the queen is no more than a mound of rubble, with its funerary chamber exposed by stone robbers.The complex is markedly different from those built during the 4th Dynasty (c. 2613–2494 BC) in its size, architecture and location, being at Saqqara rather than Gizah. As such, Userkaf's pyramid complex could be a manifestation of the profound changes in the ideology of kingship that took place between the 4th and 5th dynasties, changes that may have started during the reign of Userkaf's likely immediate predecessor, Shepseskaf. Some 1500 years after its construction, the pyramid complex was restored under Ramses II. During the much later Saite period (664–525 BC), it was used as a cemetery. Userkaf's pyramid is part of a larger mortuary complex comprising a mortuary temple, an offering chapel and a cult pyramid as well as separate pyramid and mortuary temple for Userkaf's wife, queen Neferhetepes. <SEP> The oldest known version of the Cinderella story is the ancient Greek story of Rhodopis, a Greek courtesan living in the colony of Naucratis in Egypt, whose name means ``Rosy - Cheeks ''. The story is first recorded by the Greek geographer Strabo in his Geographica (book 17, 33), probably written around 7 BC or thereabouts: <SEP> the story takes place in a fictional world, primarily upon a continent called westeros, with one storyline occurring on another continent to the east known as essos. like the novel, the season initially focuses on the family of nobleman eddard stark, who is asked to become chief advisor to his king and longtime friend, robert baratheon. ned must find out who killed the previous hand of the king, jon arryn, while trying to protect his family from their rivals the lannisters. he uncovers the dark secrets about the lannisters that his predecessor died trying to expose. meanwhile, in essos, the exiled viserys targaryen, son of the former king, believes he still has the rightful claim to the throne.
