paragraph: Óspakr-Hákon

paragraph: Óspakr (died 1230), who also known as Hákon, was a King of the Isles. He seems to have been a son of Dubgall mac Somairle, King of the Isles, and therefore a member of the Meic Dubgaill branch of the Meic Somairle kindred. Óspakr spent a considerable portion of his career in the Kingdom of Norway as a member of the Birkibeinar faction in the Civil war era in Norway. He seems to be identical to Óspakr suðreyski, a Birkibeinar who took part in the plundering of Hebrides and the sacking of Iona in 1209/1210. The context of this expedition is uncertain, although it may have been envisioned as a way of reasserting Norwegian royal authority into the Kingdom of the Isles.

paragraph: In the decade following the ravaging of Iona, the Kingdom of the Isles was plagued by vicious conflict between two competing dynasts of the Crovan dynasty. Although one member of this kindred, Óláfr Guðrøðarson, King of the Isles, overcame his main dynastic rival in 1229, he faced continued opposition from Alan fitz Roland, Lord of Galloway, and leading members of the Meic Somairle. In consequence of this conflict, Óláfr fled to Norway in 1230, and Hákon Hákonarson, King of Norway authorised the preparation of a military campaign to restore order. The title of king was thereupon conferred upon Óspakr, as was the royal name "Hákon", with Óspakr receiving command of a fleet take with him into the Isles. By May or June of that year, Óspakr's fleet reached the heart of the Hebrides where it is recorded to have swollen to eighty ships. The full brunt of Óspakr's forces were directed at Bute, where a stronghold—almost certainly Rothesay Castle—is reported to have fallen within a few days. Reports of a nearby fleet under Alan's command forced the Norwegians to withdraw from Bute, and Óspakr is reported to have died, apparently from injuries sustained during the sack of Bute. After Óspakr's death, the Norwegian enterprise was led by Óláfr who established himself on Mann. The following spring, with the Kingdom of the Isles partitioned between Óláfr and his rival nephew, Guðrøðr Rǫgnvaldsson, the Norwegians set sail for home, where Hákon thanked the returning warriors. About thirty years later, a certain Ruðri is recorded to have claimed Bute as his birthright, and to have assisted Hákon in another Norwegian campaign in the Isles. One possibility is that Ruðri was a descendant of Óspakr.

paragraph: Section::::Familial background.

paragraph: Óspakr seems to have been a member of the Meic Dubgaill branch of the Meic Somairle kindred. Specifically, Óspakr appears to have been a son of Dubgall mac Somairle, King of the Isles, ancestor of the Meic Dubgaill. The latter figure was a son of Somairle mac Gilla Brigte, King of the Isles, the common ancestor of the Meic Somairle. Óspakr's name—although Scandinavian—is not evidence against a familial connection with the Meic Somairle, as Somairle himself bore a Gaelicised form of a Scandinavian name. Nevertheless, there is also a possibility that Óspakr's name is a Scandinavianised form of the Gaelic . Although the patronym—""—accorded to Óspakr by the thirteenth- to fourteenth-century "Chronicle of Mann" ostensibly identifies his father as a man named Ǫgmundr, the thirteenth-century "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar" instead identifies Óspakr as a son of Dubgall mac Somairle. If the latter source is indeed correct, one possibility is that the patronym recorded by the "Chronicle of Mann" refers to a foster father rather than a biological father. On the other hand, there is reason to suspect that Óspakr's patronym indeed refers to a biological ancestor. For example, the patronym accorded to Somairle by the fifteenth- to sixteenth-century "Annals of Ulster"—""—refers Somairle's grandfather, Gilla Adamnáin, instead of Somairle's father, Gilla Brigte. The fact that Somairle is accorded a patronym referring to his lineage rather than his parentage could indicate that Óspakr's patronym is a Scandinavianised form of the same lineage name.

paragraph: Section::::Plunderer of Iona.

paragraph: Óspakr seems to be identifical to Óspakr suðreyski, a like-named member of an invading Norwegian force that plundered Iona in 1210. According to the Icelandic annals, a military expedition from Norway into the Isles had been under preparation in 1209. The following year, this source makes note of "warfare" in the Isles, and reveals that Iona was pillaged. These reports are corroborated by the thirteenth-century "Bǫglunga sǫgur", a saga-collection that survives in two versions. Both versions reveal that a fleet of Norwegians plundered in the Isles, and the shorter version notes how men of the Birkibeinar and the Baglar—two competing sides of the Norwegian civil war—decided to recoup their financial losses with a twelve-ship raiding expedition into the Isles. This particular version of the saga names Óspakr suðreyski as one of the three Birkibeinar leaders of the expedition.

paragraph: One possibility is that this operation was organised in the context of the Norwegian Crown reasserting royal authority in the Isles. For example, the longer version of the saga relates that a fleet of Norwegians made landfall in Shetland and Orkney, whereupon Bjarni Kolbeinsson, Bishop of Orkney, and the two co-earls of Orkney—Jón Haraldsson and Davið Haraldsson—were compelled to journey to Norway and submit to Ingi Bárðarson, King of Norway, rendering him hostages and a large fine. The same source further reveals that, as a consequence of the Norwegian plundering in the Isles, two members of the ruling Crovan dynasty—Rǫgnvaldr Guðrøðarson, King of the Isles and his son Guðrøðr—also travelled to Norway, where they swore obedience to Ingi, paid him a tax, and took their lands from him as a (fief). The submission of the Islesmen seems to have been undertaken at about the time of a reawakening of Norwegian royal authority following the settlement between the opposing Birkibeinar and Baglar factions. There is reason to suspect that the destructive Norwegian activity in the Isles may have been some sort of officially sanctioned punishment in response to not only Rǫgnvaldr's recalcitrance of his Norwegian obligations, but his recent reorientation towards the English Crown. In any case, the fact that Ingi turned his attention to the Isles so soon after peace was brokered between the Birkibeinar and Baglar may well indicate the importance he placed on his relations with his contemporaries in the Isles.

paragraph: Within the same year of the attack, the Icelandic annals state that a certain Koli was consecrated Bishop of the Isles. This record could reveal that Koli's consecration was somehow related to the Norwegian expedition of 1209/1210, and that—just as the Orcadian earls were accompanied to Norway by their bishop—Rǫgnvaldr and Guðrøðr may have been accompanied by Koli. The Norwegian undertaking, therefore, may have been designed to reassert Norwegian overlordship over both secular and ecclesiastical authorities in Norwegian satellites overseas. If correct, the voyage would seem to have been orchestrated by both Ingi and his chief prelate, Þórir Guðmundarson, Archbishop of Niðaróss. Although the leadership of the Meic Somairle had controversially refounded Iona at the turn of the century, and had further secured its independence from the Diocese of the Isles by placing it under the protection of the papacy, the Norwegian sack of the island may not have been a sanctioned act. One possibility is that a visit to the island by the Norwegian delegation disastrously deteriorated into otherwise unplanned violence.

paragraph: Section::::King of the Isles.

paragraph: In the decades following the ravaging of Iona, the Kingdom of the Isles was plagued by vicious conflict between two competing dynasts of the Crovan dynasty: namely Rǫgnvaldr and his younger half-brother, Óláfr Guðrøðarson. Although Rǫgnvaldr enlisted the support of Alan fitz Roland, Lord of Galloway by way of a marital alliance, Óláfr seized the kingship of the Isles in 1226, and slew Rǫgnvaldr three years later. The death of Alan's ally did not deter Gallovidian interests in the Isles. In fact, it is apparent that Alan and members of the Meic Somairle—Dubgall and Donnchad, both sons of Dubgall mac Somairle—upheld pressure upon the recently inaugurated Óláfr. According to "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar", reports of open warfare in the Isles reached the royal court of Hákon Hákonarson, King of Norway in the summer of 1229. Specifically, the saga singles out Alan as one of the principal perpetrators of unrest in the Isles, describing him as "the greatest warrior", possessing a large force of men and ships with which he plundered throughout the Hebrides. The two sons of Dubgall mac Somairle are also noted, as is a kinsman of theirs named Somairle. All three of these Meic Somairle kinsmen are styled kings by "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar", which describes the men as "unfaithful" to the Norwegian Crown. The saga also identifies Óspakr as yet another son of Dubgall mac Somairle, albeit one who was had long served outwith the Isles as a Birkibeinar. Although Óláfr arrived at the Norwegian court early in 1230, having been forced from the Isles by Alan and his allies, it is evident that Hákon had already decided upon a course of action.

paragraph: The Icelandic annals, the "Chronicle of Mann", the fourteenth-century "Chronicle of Lanercost", and "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar", all reveal that Hákon handed over the kingship of the Isles to Óspakr and bestowed upon him the royal name "Hákon". According to the latter source, Hákon not only granted him the kingship, but also gave him command of the Norwegian fleet tasked with restoring peace in the Isles. Within days of Óláfr's arrival in Norway, the saga reveals that Óspakr's fleet set sail for the Isles, and swelled in number after reaching Orkney. Whilst the "Eirspennill" version of the saga numbers the fleet in Norway at twelve ships, the "Flateyjarbók", "Frísbók", and "Skálholtsbók" versions give the number eleven; and whilst the former version relates that the fleet gained twenty ships from Orkney, the latter three versions state that the fleet numbered twenty when it left Orkney. Once in the Isles, the fleet linked up with the three other members of the Meic Somairle on Islay. According to the saga, the Meic Somairle held a feast for the Norwegians. That night, whilst Donnchad slept on board with Óspakr, the Norwegians are stated to have attacked Dubgall and Somairle, killing the latter amongst many others. Once Óspakr became aware of the attack, the source states that he allowed Donnchad to escape, and took Dubgall under his protection. One possibility is that Donnchad's escape was enabled as in an attempt to retain the Meic Dubgaill's dual allegiance to the Norwegian and Scottish Crowns. Another possibility is that Óspakr's Meic Somairle kinsmen were suspected of attempting to sabotage the operation. Certainly, Donnchad's later career reveals him to have ingratiated himself to the Scottish cause.

paragraph: There are two conspicuous Meic Somairle absentees from Óspakr's campaign. One such man was Ruaidrí mac Ragnaill, who seems to have been driven from Kintyre by Alexander II, King of Scotland in the 1220s. One explanation for Ruaidrí's nonappearance may be his possible participation in the near-concurrent insurrection of the Meic Uilleim claimants to the Scottish throne. Ruaidrí's younger brother, Domnall, is likewise unattested, although this may have been due to the fact that he seems to have come to an accommodation with the Scottish king in the wake of Ruaidrí's expulsion, and to have owed his lordship in Kintyre to Alexander's good will. If correct, the Norwegian muster off Islay, and the ravaging of surrounding territories, may be indicative of an attempt by Óspakr to overawe Domnall.

paragraph: News of the gathering Norwegian fleet soon reached Alexander II, who appears to have made straight for the western coast, diverting his attention to the now rapidly developing crisis. On 28 May, Alan is recorded in Alexander II's presence at Ayr, where the Scottish royal forces appear to have assembled. It was probably May or June when Óspakr's fleet rounded the Mull of Kintyre, entered the Firth of Clyde, and made landfall on Bute, where his forces successfully stormed and captured a fortress that is almost certainly identical to Rothesay Castle. The "Flateyjarbók", "Frísbók", and "Skálholtsbók" versions of the saga specify that the castle fell after three days of battle, and that three hundred Norwegians and Islesmen fell in the assault. By this stage in the campaign, the fleet is stated to have reached a size of eighty ships, a tally which may indicate that Óspakr's fighting-force numbered over three thousand men. The castle itself was a holding of Walter fitz Alan II, Steward of Scotland, and the attack upon this stronghold seems to evince the anxiety felt by the Meic Somairle in the face of the steward's steadily increasing regional influence. The sacking of Bute, the most important island-holding of one of the most powerful Scottish magnates, seems to have spurned the Scots into action. Reports that Alan was in the vicinity, at the command of a massive fleet, is stated to have forced the Norwegians to withdraw to Kintyre. Whilst the "Eirspennill" version of the saga numbers Alan's fleet at almost two hundred ships, the "Flateyjarbók", "Frísbók", and "Skálholtsbók" versions give a tally of one hundred and fifty. These totals suggest that Alan commanded a force of two thousand or three thousand men.

paragraph: After the withdrawal of the fleet to Kintyre, the saga reports that Óspakr took ill and died. Óspakr seems to have succumbed to injuries sustained from the assault on Bute, as the "Chronicle of Lanercost", and the "Chronicle of Mann" state that he was struck down by a stone, with the later source recording his burial on Iona. Either way, the saga reveals that Óspakr's fall was bitterly lamented amongst his followers. Command of the fleet was thereafter assumed by Óláfr, who successfully eluded Alan's forces, and diverted the fleet to Mann to suit his own needs. Although Óláfr was reinstated as king, he was forced to partition the realm with Guðrøðr, who took kingship in the Hebrides. The latter was evidently in Norway before Óláfr's arrival, and may have been one of Óspakr's principal supporters. One possibility is that Hákon originally intended for Óspakr and Guðrøðr to divide the kingdom at Óláfr's expense. Another is that Hákon promised to lend support to Óláfr's cause on the condition of a concession of authority to Guðrøðr, who—like Óspakr—could have been recognised as king by the Norwegian Crown. In any case, the Norwegian forces left Mann for home in the following spring, and established Guðrøðr in the Hebrides. Before the end of 1231, the latter was slain under uncertain circumstances, and Óláfr regained control of the entire kingdom. Upon the homeward return of the Norwegians, "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar" declares that Hákon's "honours had been won" as a result of the expedition, and that he heartily thanked the men for their service.

paragraph: Despite Óspakr's elevation as king, it is uncertain how Hákon envisioned the governance of the Kingdom of the Isles. On one hand, it is possible that Hákon intended for Óspakr and Guðrøðr to divide the kingdom at Óláfr's expense. On the other hand, the fact that Óláfr's struggle against Alan and Meic Somairle is acclaimed by the saga could indicate that Hákon did not intend to replace Óláfr with Óspakr. Instead, Hákon may have planned for Óspakr to reign over the sprawling domain of Meic Somairle as a way to ensure the kindred's obedience. Óspakr's prospective realm, therefore, seems to have comprised Argyll, Kintyre, and the Inner Hebrides. If correct, the fleet's primary design would appear to have been the procurement of Óspakr's domain, whilst the secondary objective seems to have been the restoration of Óláfr on Mann. In consequence, Ruaidrí's nonappearance in the operation may have been due to resentment of Óspakr's prospective overlordship. Although Scottish sources fail to note the Norwegian campaign, its magnitude is revealed by English sources such as the thirteenth-century "Annales de Dunstaplia" and the "Chronicle of Lanercost", with the former reporting that the campaigning Norwegians and Islesmen were only overcome with much labour after they had invaded Scotland and Mann and inflicted considerable casualties.

paragraph: Section::::Possible descendants.

paragraph: In 1263, over thirty years after Óspakr's fateful campaign, Scottish aggression into the Isles precipitated yet another Norwegian expedition, this time led by Hákon himself. According to "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar", when Hákon reached the southern-most Hebrides, a ship-commander named Ruðri swore allegiance to Hákon with his two brothers. Ruðri is recorded to have claimed Bute as his birthright, stating that he had been outlawed by the Scottish Crown for attempting to take back what was rightfully his. After Hákon's forces ravaged the island and captured Rothesay Castle, Ruðri is recorded to have slaughtered the Scottish prisoners, and to have devastated the Scottish mainland far and wide.

paragraph: With the conclusion of the campaign, the saga reports that Hákon rewarded some of his Hebridean vassals, and that he granted Bute to Ruðri. Although Ruðri's exact identity is unknown, he could well have been a member of the Meic Somairle. One possibility is that he was a son or grandson of Óspakr. Another is that he was a descendant of Ruaidrí. If Óspakr was indeed a forebear of Ruðri, the latter's actions on Bute may relate to the campaign of 1230, and may have been undertaken in the context of settling old scores. The castle itself—and the surrounding settlement of Rothesay—may owe its name to Ruðri, or perhaps to an ancestor of his. As for Óspakr's brothers Dubgall and Donnchad, nothing further is known of the former, whilst the latter went on to represent the Meic Dubgaill into the mid part of the thirteenth century. The latter was a significant mainland magnate within the Scottish realm, and the fact that he is not recorded to have contributed to Óspakr's campaign after his release could be indicative of an attempt to accommodate the Meic Dubgaill's conflicting allegiances to both the Norwegian and Scottish Crowns.

paragraph: Zsigmond Kisfaludi Strobl

paragraph: Zsigmond Kisfaludi Strobl ( Alsórajk 1884 - Budapest 1975) was a Hungarian sculptor and artist. His sculptural style integrated elements of realism and academism style mainly engaged in creating portrait busts.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Zsigmond Kisfaludi Strobl studied under Mátrai and Antal Lóránfi at the School of Applied Arts for four years. Meanwhile, he worked in the workshop of Alajos Stróbl: he produced two nude sketches in 1904 and 1905. He went to Vienna on a scholarship. On his return to Hungary, Béla Radnai was his master at the School of Industrial Design.

paragraph: Finale, a composition with three nude figures from 1911, won him the Radics Prize in 1912 allowing him to go to Italy, France and Belgium. His art was influenced by the esthetics of Adolf Hildebrand, a notable German sculptor and theoretician whose academic style left its trace on Kisfaludi Strobl's sculpture.

paragraph: He participated as a soldier in World War I, during which he created portraits. "Archer" from the late 1920s reflected Bourdelle's influence.

paragraph: Kisfaludi Strobl's art reached its peak between the two world wars, in the late 1920s and 1930s. Technically his work was highly proficient, and his statues and china figures, whether small or larger than life-size, had a dynamic elegance of their own. That period of his life was marked by countless small bronzes, plaquettes and monumental statues (such as the War Memorial in Nagykanizsa, and the Prince St. Emeric in Budapest in 1930) after making study trips to England and the United States. He made portraits of Béla Iványi Grünwald 1924, Dénes Györgyi 1923, G.B. Shaw 1932, János Pásztor 1934, and Crown Princess Elizabeth of England 1937, some 50 or so completed in Great Britain brought him fame not only in Hungary and Great Britain but all over the world.

paragraph: The bust of General Hamilton was erected in Aberdeen, Scotland, and The Birth of Venus in Santa Barbara, California. "Liberty" on Gellért Hill was created in a record time in 1947.

paragraph: Kisfaludi Strobl produced the main figure of the Kossuth Memorial which was erected in front of the Hungarian Parliament in 1952, and in 1953 the new figures of Rákóczi and Kossuth for the Millennium Memorial.

paragraph: He was over 80 when he produced a monumental version of "Warriors of the Border", a statuette, which was erected in Eger in 1968. His portraits of Zoltán Kodály (1966), Árpád Szakasits" and Pál Pátzay (1967) were also widely praised.

paragraph: Kisfaludi Strobl Zsigmond's works are in the collection of the Hungarian National Gallery and the Göcsej Museum, as well as the British Museum, The Hermitage and the Pushkin Museum. He also taught András Beck.

paragraph: He died in Budapest in 1975.

paragraph: Hans Freiherr von Geyer zu Lauf

paragraph: Hans Freiherr von Geyer zu Lauf (14 January 1895 – 10 August 1959) was a German painter who was born in Freiburg and grew up in the suburb Günterstal. In 1917 he moved to Dießen am Ammersee and in 1919 to Schönberg on the Hessische Bergstraße. From 1940 he lived again in Freiburg, this time in a studio apartment which was destroyed during the air raid on Freiburg in 1944 whereupon he returned to the Bergstraße. In 1945, after the end of the war, he moved to Emmendingen and finally in 1954 back to Freiburg where lived until his death in a car accident in 1959.

paragraph: The panel painting ""A Cosmic Song"" is the main work of the painter.

paragraph: Section::::Collection Geyer zu Lauf.

paragraph: In 1997 the Circle of Friends Geyer zu Lauf installed a permanent exhibition of paintings, drawings and graphics of all the creative phases of the artist in the former Hodel brewery in Emmendingen. His major work, the Panel Painting, which was only loan in the exhibition, was sold by the owner in 2008. However, the second wife and widow of the painter, Isolde von Geyer zu Lauf who was born on 27 February 1911 and died on 28 May 2011 appointed the Circle of Friends sole heir and thus the collection increased enormously, and it became necessary to store it away. While it is archived it is not possible to visit it.

paragraph: Muhammad ibn Rustam Dushmanziyar

paragraph: Muhammad ibn Rustam Dushmanziyar (Persian: ابوجعفر دشمنزیار), also known by his "laqab" of Ala al-Dawla Muhammad (علاء الدوله محمد), was a Daylamite military commander who founded in 1008 the short-lived but important independent Kakuyid dynasty in Jibal. He is also known as Pusar-i Kaku, Ibn Kakuyeh, Ibn Kakuya, and Ibn Kaku, which means maternal uncle in the Deylami language, and is related to the Persian word "kaka". Muhammad died in September 1041 after having carved out a powerful kingdom which included western Persia and Jibal. However, these gains were quickly lost under his successors.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Rustam Dushmanziyar, the father of Muhammad, was a Daylamite soldier in the service of Buyids and was rewarded with land in Alborz in appreciation of his services. His duty was to protect Ray and northern Jibal against the local leaders from Tabaristan. Rustam was the brother of the Bavandid princess Sayyida Shirin, the mother of Buyid emir Majd al-Dawla and Shams al-Dawla. Both were under the tutelage of their mother Khatun until her death in 1029.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Given these family ties, it is not surprising that from 1007 to 1008 Muhammad was the governor of Isfahan on behalf of the Buyids. Some sources say he was already in governor of the city in 1003. In 1016, the Daylamite military officer Ibn Fuladh expelled Muhammad from Isfahan, but he shortly managed to regain control of the city. The fragility of Majd al-Dawla's kingdom later encouraged Muhammad to extend his domains in the Kurdish held mountains of Iran. In 1023, Muhammad seized Hamadan from the Buyid ruler Sama' al-Dawla, and then proceeded to capture Dinavar and Shapur-Khwast from Kurdish leaders. He spent the following years in protecting his realm from invasions by the Kurds and princes (ispahbadh) from Tabaristan.

paragraph: Five years later, Muhammad won a great victory over his rivals at Nihawand, and managed to capture the Bavandid ruler Abu Ja'far Muhammad including his two sons. After this great victory, Muhammad consolidated his position as the strongest ruler of Jibal, even though the Buyid emir Majd al-Dawla was his overlord, Muhammad minted coins in his own name. He was later personally awarded, and without the intervention of the Buyids, from the Abbasid caliph Al-Qadir, the title of "Husam Amir al-mu'manin" (Sword of the commander of the faithful).

paragraph: In 1029, Majd al-Dawla was deposed by the Ghaznavid Mahmud. Mas'ud I, the son of the Ghaznavid sultan, who wanted to liberate the Abbasids from Buyid control, proceeded further into western Iran, where he defeated various rulers, including Muhammad, who fled to Ahvaz to seek help from the Buyids, but he quickly made peace with the Ghaznavids and returned as their vassal, where he accepted to pay an annual tribute of 200,000 dinars. The Ghaznavids, however, were not able to hold their conquests which were distant from Ghazni, without trouble. Muhammad managed to briefly occupy Ray from the Ghaznavids in 1030. In 1035, Mas'ud I again defeated Muhammad who fled to once again fled to the Buyids in Ahvaz, where he later fled to northwestern Iran. Muhammad then began recruiting a powerful force of Turkmens in order to re-gain his lost domains.

paragraph: In 1037/38, Muhammad, along with his forces, once again occupied Ray from Ghaznavids. In the following years, Muhammad began constructing massive defensive walls around Isfahan. Which later saved it from the Turkmen nomads who sacked and plundered some places in west and central Iran in 1038/39, including the city of Hamadan.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.:Death.

paragraph: Muhammad died in September 1041 when he was campaigning in western Persia against the Annazids. His eldest son Faramurz succeeded him in Isfahan while his younger son Garshasp I gained Hamadan. However, they had a difficult task in protecting these regions from the expansionist Seljuqs.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Muhammad was a great military commander who managed to protect his kingdom from its neighbors, including the Buyids, Ghaznavids and Seljuqs. He invited the philosopher Avicenna to his court after Avicenna left the court of the Buyids, where he made an encyclopedia dedicated to the emir. The great philosopher and scientist died in 1037. The library of Avicenna was later plundered by the Ghaznavids who carried it off to Ghazni where it was later destroyed by the Ghurids under their ruler Ala al-Din Husayn.

paragraph: Béla Fleck

paragraph: Béla Anton Leoš Fleck (born July 10, 1958) is an American banjo player. An innovative and technically proficient banjo player, he is best known for his work with the bands New Grass Revival and Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: A native of New York City, Fleck was named after Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, Austrian composer Anton Webern, and Czech composer Leoš Janáček. He was drawn to the banjo at a young age when he heard Earl Scruggs play the theme song for the television show "Beverly Hillbillies" and when he heard "Dueling Banjos" by Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandell on the radio. At age of 15, he received his first banjo from his grandfather. During the train ride home, a man volunteered to tune the banjo and suggested he learn from the book "How to Play the Five String Banjo" by Pete Seeger. He attended the High School of Music & Art in New York City, playing French horn until he flunked and was transferred to the choir, though he spent most of his time on the banjo. He studied the book "Bluegrass Banjo" by Pete Wernick and took lessons from Erik Darling, Marc Horowitz, and Tony Trischka. He is Jewish.

paragraph: After graduating from high school, he moved to Boston and became a member of the group Tasty Licks, with whom he recorded two albums. He released his debut solo album, "Crossing the Tracks" (1979), and it was chosen Best Overall Album by the readers of "Frets" magazine.

paragraph: Fleck played on the streets of Boston with bassist Mark Schatz. Along with guitarist Glen Lawson and mandolinist Jimmy Gaudreau, they formed Spectrum in 1981. That same year, Sam Bush asked Fleck to join New Grass Revival. Fleck performed with New Grass Revival for nine years. During this time, in 1987 Fleck recorded another solo album, "Drive", which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1988 for Best Bluegrass Album. During the 1980s Fleck and Bush also performed live with Doc Watson and Merle Watson in bluegrass festivals, most notably the annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

paragraph: Section::::Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.

paragraph: In 1988, Fleck and Victor Wooten formed Béla Fleck and the Flecktones with keyboardist and harmonica player Howard Levy and Wooten's brother, Roy "Future Man" Wooten, who played synthesizer-based percussion. They recorded numerous albums, most notably "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo", their second album, which reached number one on the "Billboard" Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and found increased popularity among fans of jazz fusion.

paragraph: Levy left the group in 1992, making the band a trio until saxophonist Jeff Coffin joined the group onstage in 1997. His first studio recording with the band was their 1998 album, "Left of Cool". Coffin left the group in 2008 to replace the Dave Matthews Band's saxophonist, the late LeRoi Moore. Levy returned to the Flecktones in 2009. Béla Fleck and the original Flecktones recorded "Rocket Science" and toured in 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Other music and recordings.

paragraph: Fleck played banjo on "Before These Crowded Streets" by the Dave Matthews Band, including the album's debut single "Don't Drink the Water".

paragraph: In 1989 Fleck was invited to join the supergroup Strength in Numbers, headed by Sam Bush on mandolin, with Jerry Douglas on resonator guitar (dobro), Edgar Meyer on bass, and Mark O'Connor on violin. The group recorded just one album, "The Telluride Sessions", before Bush disbanded the group.

paragraph: In 2001, he collaborated with Edgar Meyer on "Perpetual Motion", an album of classical music played on the banjo. They were accompanied by John Williams, Evelyn Glennie, Joshua Bell, and Gary Hoffman. "Perpetual Motion" won Grammy Awards for Best Arrangement and Best Classical Crossover Album.

paragraph: Fleck and Meyer composed a double concerto for banjo and bass and performed its debut with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. They were commissioned by the Orchestra to compose a trio concerto, for which they invited Indian tabla player Zakir Hussain. The concerto debuted in Nashville in 2006 when it was recorded for the album "The Melody of Rhythm". Fleck premiered the "Concerto for Banjo" in Nashville, Tennessee on September 22, 2011, performing it with the full Nashville Symphony Orchestra.

paragraph: In 2005, while the Flecktones were on hiatus, Fleck undertook several new projects: recording with traditional African musicians; co-writing the documentary "Bring it Home" about the Flecktones; co-producing "Song of the Traveling Daughter", the debut album by his wife, Abigail Washburn; forming the acoustic fusion supergroup Trio! with Jean-Luc Ponty and Stanley Clarke; and recording an album as a member of the Sparrow Quartet with Washburn, Ben Sollee, and Casey Driessen.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Fleck is married to banjo player Abigail Washburn. Washburn first met Fleck in Nashville at a square dance at which she was dancing and he was playing. Fleck produced Washburn's first solo album. Fleck brought Washburn to TV producer Sascha Paladino's wedding in August 2007, and they played in a scratch band composed of wedding party members. In May 2009, the "Bluegrass Intelligencer" website satirized the upcoming "strategic marriage" of Washburn and Fleck, with Driessen joking that the couple promised a "male heir" who will be the "Holy Banjo Emperor".

paragraph: Nancy Carroll

paragraph: Nancy Carroll (born Ann Veronica Lahiff; November 19, 1903 – August 6, 1965) was an American actress.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Of Irish parentage, the daughter of Thomas and Ann Lahiff, Carroll was born in New York City. Her education came at Holy Trinity School in New York, but she left there at age 16 to work as a stenographer in an office of a lace manufacturer.

paragraph: Carroll and her sister Elsie once performed a dancing act in a local contest of amateur talent. This led her to a stage career and then on to screen stardom. She began her acting career in Broadway musicals. She became a successful actress in "talkies" because her musical background enabled her to play in movie musicals of the 1930s. Her film debut was in "Ladies Must Dress" in 1927.

paragraph: In 1928 she made eight films. One of them, "Easy Come, Easy Go", co-starring Richard Dix, made her a star. In 1929 she starred in "The Dance of Life" with Hal Skelly, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" along with George Bancroft and Olga Baclanova. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1930 for "The Devil's Holiday". Among her other films are "Laughter" (1930), "Paramount on Parade" (1930), "Hot Saturday" (1932) with Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, "The Kiss Before the Mirror" (1933) directed by James Whale, and "Broken Lullaby" aka "The Man I Killed" (1932) directed by Ernst Lubitsch.

paragraph: Under contract to Paramount Pictures, Carroll often balked at the roles the studio offered her and she earned a reputation as a recalcitrant and uncooperative actress. In spite of her ability to successfully tackle light comedies, tearful melodramas, and even musicals, and as well as garnering considerable praise by the critics and public – she received the most fan mail of any star in the early 1930s – she was released from her contract by the studio. In the mid-1930s under a four-film contract with Columbia Pictures, she made four rather insignificant films and was no longer an A-list actress.

paragraph: Carroll retired from films in 1938, returned to the stage, and starred in the early television series "The Aldrich Family" in 1950. In the following year, she guest-starred in the television version of "The Egg and I", starring her daughter, Patricia Kirkland.

paragraph: On August 6, 1965, Carroll was found dead after failing to arrive at the theater for a performance. The cause of her death was an aneurysm. She was 61 years old.

paragraph: Section::::Hollywood Walk of Fame.

paragraph: For her contributions to the film industry, Carroll has a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1725 Vine Street. The star was dedicated February 8, 1960.

paragraph: Galvarino

paragraph: Galvarino (died c. November 30, 1557) was a famous Mapuche warrior during the majority of the early part of the Arauco War. He fought and was taken prisoner along with one hundred and fifty other Mapuche, in the Battle of Lagunillas against governor García Hurtado de Mendoza. As punishment for insurrection, some of these prisoners were condemned to amputation of their right hand and nose, while others such as Galvarino had both hands cut off. Galvarino and the rest were then released as a lesson and warning for the rest of the Mapuche. Mendoza sent him to inform general Caupolicán of the number and quality of the people which had entered their land again, to put some fear into him, among other means that were tried, so that he might submit without coming to blows.

paragraph: When returning to the Mapuche he appeared before Caupolicán and the council of war, showing them his mutilations, crying out for justice and a greater rising of the Mapuche against this Spanish invader like the one of Lautaro. For his bravery and gallantry he was named by the council to command a squadron. With knives fastened on both mutilated wrists replacing his hands he fought next to Caupolicán in the following campaign until the Battle of Millarapue where his squadron fought against that of governor Mendoza himself where he was able to strike down the number two in command.

paragraph: However Mendoza's command broke Galvarino's division after over an hour of combat and won the battle killing three thousand Indians, and captured more than eight hundred including him. Mendoza ordered him to be executed by being thrown to the dogs.

paragraph: In the book "La Araucana", written by Alonso de Ercilla, he explains that the real death of Galvarino was by hanging.

paragraph: Mary Campbell (Highland Mary)

paragraph: Mary Campbell also known as Highland Mary, (was christened "Margaret", March 1763 – 1786) she was the daughter of a sailor in a revenue cutter named Archibald Campbell of Daling, whose wife was Agnes Campbell of Achnamore or Auchamore, by Dunoon on the Cowal Peninsula in 1762. Mary was the eldest of a family of four. Robert Burns had an affair with her after he felt that he had been 'deserted' by Jean Armour following her move to Paisley in March 1786. The brief affair started in April 1786, the parting took place on 14 May of that year. Her pronunciation of English was heavily accented with Gaelic and this led to her becoming known as 'Highland Mary.'

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.

paragraph: Mary lived with her parents, first, near Dunoon, in 1768 the family moved to Campbeltown, and finally at Greenock. Her three siblings, Robert, Annie and Archibald, were born at Campbeltown. She is said to have spent some time at Lochranza on Arran, living with the Rev. David Campbell, minister of that parish and a relative of her mother's. She was described as a ""...sweet, sprightly, blue-eyed creature."" In her early 'teens, she went to Ayrshire and became a nursemaid in Gavin Hamilton's house in Mauchline. She is said to have worked as a young servant girl in Irvine.

paragraph: Gavin Hamilton's married daughter, Mrs Todd, recalled Mary Campbell coming to look after her brother Alexander as a nursemaid in 1785, describing Mary as 'very pleasant and winning', though not a beauty. From Mauchline, she moved to Coilsfield House, later Montgomery Castle, where she was employed as a dairy-maid or byres-woman. She gained this position through the offices of Miss Arbukle of Campbeltown who had married into the Eglinton family.

paragraph: According to Grierson, who met Mary's sister, Mrs Anderson, in 1817, Mary was 'tall, fair haired with blue eyes'. She was also described by Miss McNeill to have been ""a great favourite with everyone who knew her, due to her pleasant manners, sweet temper and obliging disposition. Her figure was graceful; the cast of her face was singularly delicate and of fair complexion, and her eyes were bluish and lustrous had a remarkably winning expression.""

paragraph: Mary Campbell died at the age of 23, around 20 October 1786, probably from Typhus contracted when nursing her brother Robert. She was buried in the old West Kirk churchyard at Greenock, in a lair owned by her host and relation Peter Macpherson. A story is told that some superstitious friends believed that her illness was as a result of someone casting the evil eye upon her. Her father was urged to go to a place where two streams meet, select seven smooth stones, boil them in milk, and treat her with the potion. An 1842 monument in her memory was designed by John Mossman. It was asserted by some older inhabitants of Greenock that the monument was not erected in the right spot, and that her body had been interred closer to the kirk. A statue of her was also erected at Dunoon on the Castle Hill.

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.:Association with Robert Burns.

paragraph: Burns had first seen Mary Campbell in church while he was living near Tarbolton. He dedicated the poems ""The Highland Lassie O"", "Highland Mary" and "To Mary in Heaven" to her. His song "Will ye go to the Indies, my Mary, And leave auld Scotia's shore?" suggests that they planned to emigrate to Jamaica together, however after a brief illness she died at Greenock. Burns and Mary Campbell apparently exchanged Bibles over a water course and possibly some sort of traditional Scottish matrimonial vows on the banks of the River Ayr, either at Failford, where the Water of Coil has its confluence or near Coilsfield. Burns had written biblical verses in his bible (two volumes), signed them and impressed his masonic sign.

paragraph: The bible volumes were kept by Mary's mother. In one was written ""And ye shall not swear by my name falsely - I am the Lord."" (Levit. xvi. 12); in the other ""Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oath."" (St. Matt. v. 33). Despite her poverty Mrs Campbell kept the volumes and passed them on to her daughter Mrs Anderson upon her death at Greenock in 1828. William Anderson inherited them via his sisters and in 1834 he emigrated to Canada taking them with him. In Canada they lay for a time until admirers heard of them and purchased them for £25 so that they could be kept at the Brig o'Doon Museum.

paragraph: He is said to have met Mary at the ""Burn's Thorn"" or ""Mary's Tryst"" that grew close a path close to the western side of the house at Coilsfield. The tree was later a victim of relic-hunters.

paragraph: Burns wrote: ""This was a composition of mine in very early life, before I was known at all in the world. My Highland lassie was a warm-hearted charming young creature as ever blessed a man with generous love. After a pretty long tract of the most ardent reciprocal attachment we met by appointment, on the second Sunday of May, in a sequestered spot by the Banks of Ayr, where we spent the day in taking farewell, before she should embark for the West Highlands to arrange matters among her friends for our projected change of life. At the close of Autumn following she crossed the sea to meet me at Greenock, where she had scarce landed when she was seized with a malignant fever, which hurried my dear girl to the grave in a few days, before I could even hear of her illness."" She was staying in Greenock with relatives whilst waiting to take up employment with the family of Colonel McIvor at Glasgow.

paragraph: Burns's sister, Isabella Begg, recollected that he had once remarked to John Blane, the 'gaudman', that Mary had refused to meet with him in the old castle, the dismantled tower of the priory at Mauchline. Additionally Burns is said to have received one evening a letter at Mossgiel that caused him great sadness, almost certainly the letter that informed him of Mary's death at Greenock.

paragraph: Years after her death Burns would think of her fondly and with great sadness. As stated, the heartfelt poem ""To Mary in Heaven"" was written at Ellisland Farm on the third anniversary of her death. Jean Armour recalled that towards evening, the night before, Robert grew sad, and wandered in solitary contemplation along the banks of the River Nith and about the farmyard in extreme agitation. Even though he was repeatedly asked to come into the house, he would not. Burns entered the house at daybreak, sat down and wrote his address to "Mary in Heaven".

paragraph: BULLET::::- Captain James Montgomerie

paragraph: Mary Campbell had probably been the mistress of the Earl of Eglinton's brother, Captain James Montgomerie of Coilsfield.

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.:Poetry and song.

paragraph: Mary inspired some of Burns's finest and most famous poems. The following lines refer to his separation from her at Coilsfield (Montgomery Castle):

paragraph: The song 'Montgomerie's Peggy' alludes to her association with Captain James Montgomerie :

paragraph: In the mid 19th century, a broadside ballad with the title "Bonny Mary of Argyle" was published by James Lindsay of 11 King Street, Glasgow. The song was about "Highland Mary" Campbell, and was apparently written by two Englishmen.

paragraph: Section::::Move of grave to Greenock Cemetery.

paragraph: With the intention of enlarging their Greenock shipyard to take over the site, Harland and Wolff requested that the Old West Kirk and its cemetery be demolished. The whole church was taken apart and re-erected at a site further west, on the corner of Greenock's Esplanade. The remains of the churchyard burials were re-interred in a mass grave in Greenock Cemetery, with an exception being made for Mary's grave. On 5 November 1920, 134 years after Mary's death, her grave was opened and the three lairs removed, with the skulls and bones of three adults. Adjacent to one lair, the remains of the bottom board of an infant's coffin was found. This naturally resulted in speculation, based on Burns's well known extra-marital intimacy, on the real cause of Mary's death, but evidence was subsequently given that the child had died in 1827, and had also been buried in the Macpherson's plot. In a solemn ceremony on 13 November 1920 Mary's remains were re-interred in Greenock Cemetery under the 1842 monument designed by John Mossman, moved from the old West Kirkyard, which depicts the romantic couple, in memory of Robert Burns' lost love.
