paragraph: Jack Brooksbank

paragraph: Jack Christopher Stamp Brooksbank (born 3 May 1986) is a British wine merchant and brand ambassador, best known as the husband of Princess Eugenie, a granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: Jack Brooksbank was born on 3 May 1986, the eldest son of George Edward Hugh Brooksbank and his wife, Nicola (née Newton). Brooksbank is in remainder to the Brooksbank baronetcy.

paragraph: A half-third cousin twice-removed of Princess Eugenie through Thomas Coke, 2nd Earl of Leicester, Brooksbank's great-grandfather was Sir Jack Coke, a Gentleman Usher to King George VI and Extra Gentleman Usher to Queen Elizabeth II and his great-uncle was the 3rd Baron Hamilton of Dalzell. His parents are Old Etonian George Brooksbank, a company director and chartered accountant, and his wife, Nicola, who reside in London and Bordeaux in France. Jack has a younger brother, Thomas, who is also an Old Etonian.

paragraph: Section::::Education and career.

paragraph: Brooksbank was educated at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire, before studying at the University of Bristol before leaving to work in the bar industry. He was the general manager of Mahiki, a nightclub in Mayfair that was often visited by his wife's cousins Prince William and Prince Harry in their youth. He now works as a brand ambassador for Casamigos tequila.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: In 2011, Brooksbank began dating Princess Eugenie of York, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah, Duchess of York. On 22 January 2018, the Duke of York's office at Buckingham Palace announced their engagement.

paragraph: In April 2018, the couple moved from their residence at St James's Palace to Ivy Cottage, in the grounds of Kensington Palace.

paragraph: Their wedding took place on 12 October 2018 at St George's Chapel, Windsor. Contrary to press speculation that Brooksbank would be created "Earl of Northallerton", he has not been elevated to the peerage after marrying into the royal family following general precedent for a male commoner not to be awarded one upon marriage to a princess.

paragraph: Louis Adamic

paragraph: Louis Adamic () (23 March 1898 – 4 September 1951) was a Slovene-American author and translator, mostly known for writing about and advocating for ethnic diversity of America.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Alojz Adamič was born at Praproče Mansion in Praproče pri Grosupljem in the region of Lower Carniola, in what is now Slovenia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). The oldest son of a peasant family, he was given a limited childhood education at the city school and, in 1909, entered the primary school at Ljubljana. Early in his third year he joined a secret students' political club associated with the Yugoslav Nationalistic Movement that had recently sprung up in the South-Slavic provinces of Austria-Hungary.

paragraph: Swept up in a bloody demonstration in November 1913, Adamic was briefly jailed, expelled from school, and barred from any government educational institution. He was admitted to the Jesuit school in Ljubljana, but was unable to bring himself to go. "No more school for me. I was going to America," Adamic wrote. "I did not know how, but I knew that I would go."

paragraph: On 31 December 1913, at the age of 15, Adamič emigrated to the United States.

paragraph: He finally settled in a heavily ethnic Croatian fishing community of San Pedro, California. He became a naturalized United States citizen in 1918 as Louis Adamic. He worked as a manual laborer and later at a Yugoslavian daily newspaper, "Narodni Glas" ("The Voice of the Nation"), that was published in New York. As an American soldier he participated in combat on the Western front during the First World War. After the war he worked as a journalist and professional writer.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: All of Adamic's writings are based on his labor experiences in America and his former life in Slovenia. He achieved national acclaim in America in 1934 with his book "The Native's Return", which was a bestseller directed against King Alexander's regime in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. This book gave many Americans their first real knowledge of the Balkans. It contained many insights, but proved far from infallible: Adamic predicted that America would prosper by eventually "going left", i.e. turning socialist.

paragraph: He received the Guggenheim Fellowship award in 1932. During the Second World War he had supported the Yugoslav National liberation struggle and the establishment of a socialist Yugoslav federation. He founded the United Committee of South-Slavic Americans in support of Marshal Tito. From 1949 he was a corresponding member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

paragraph: From 1940 onwards he served as editor of the magazine "Common Ground". Adamic was the author of "Dynamite: The Story of Class Violence in America" (1931); "Laughing in the Jungle: The Autobiography of an Immigrant in America" (1932); "The Native's Return: An American Immigrant Visits Yugoslavia and Discovers His Old Country" (1934); "Grandsons: A Story of American Lives" (1935, novel); "Cradle of Life: The Story of One Man's Beginnings" (1936, novel); "The House in Antigua" (1937, travel); "My America" (1938); "From Many Lands" (1940); "Two-Way Passage" (1941); "What's Your Name?" (1942); "My Native Land" (1943); "Nation of Nations" (1945); and "The Eagle and the Root" (1950). Maxim Lieber was his literary agent, 1930–1931 and in 1946. In 1941, Adamic won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for "From Many Lands".

paragraph: Adamic was strongly opposed to the foreign policy followed by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and in 1946 wrote "Dinner at the White House" which purported to be an account of a dinner party given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at which Adamic and Churchill had both been present. After the proofs had been passed by publishers Harper and Brothers, an additional footnote was inserted in pages 151 and 152 which claimed that Churchill had opposed the National Liberation Front in Greece because they intended to scale down the rate of interest Greece was paying to Hambros Bank. The footnote further claimed that Hambros had "bailed Winston Churchill out of bankruptcy in 1912".

paragraph: The footnote appeared in the book when it was published, and a copy was circulated to every British Member of Parliament; when Churchill was alerted, he instructed his solicitors to issue a writ for libel. Harper and Brothers admitted the statement was untrue and Adamic also withdrew the claim and apologised; a substantial sum of damages was paid, reported by the "Daily Express" as £5,000. the copy of "Dinner at the White House" in the British Library is held in the 'Suppressed Safe' collection, inaccessible to readers.

paragraph: His support for the Tito regime led to him being targeted by Nevada Senator Pat McCarran, who between May and September, 1949, chaired a subcommittee to expose Soviet sympathizers among ethnic communities.

paragraph: Plagued by failing health, he is believed to have shot himself at his residence in Milford, New Jersey. He died at a time of political tension and intrigue in Yugoslavia, and there was press speculation in America that his death might have been an assassination by some Balkan faction, but no definitive proof of this theory has ever surfaced.

paragraph: According to John McAleer's Edgar Award-winning "Rex Stout: A Biography" (1977), it was the influence of Adamic that led Rex Stout to make his fictional detective Nero Wolfe a native of Montenegro, in what was then Yugoslavia. Stout and Adamic were friends and frequent political allies, and Stout expressed uncertainty to McAleer about the circumstances of Adamic's death. In any case, the demise seems to have inspired Stout's 1954 novel "The Black Mountain", in which Nero Wolfe returns to his homeland to hunt down the killers of an old friend.

paragraph: James Brooks (painter)

paragraph: James D. Brooks (October 18, 1906 – March 9, 1992) was an American muralist, abstract painter, and winner of the Logan Medal of the Arts.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Brooks was born in St. Louis, Missouri and attended Southern Methodist University and the Dallas Art Institute and moved to New York in 1927 where he attended night classes at the Art Students League. In 1936 he joined the Federal Art Project where he would paint a 235-foot mural entitled "Flight" around the rotunda of the Marine Air Terminal at La Guardia Airport. The mural was painted over by the Port Authority in the 1950s but was restored in 1980.

paragraph: Brooks was a friend of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner and would move into Pollock's Greenwich Village apartment at 46 East 8th Street after Pollock and Krasner moved to Springs, New York in East Hampton, New York.

paragraph: In 1947 he married artist Charlotte Park. They also moved to East Hampton in 1949 creating a studio at Rocky Point in Montauk, New York. The Montauk studio and several of Brooks paintings were destroyed in Hurricane Carol with the studio being blown off a hill in 1954. Brooks then had their house which was not damaged towed by barge across to Springs where it was located on an 11-acre parcel on Neck Path close to Pollock's home. Brooks and Park had no children and their property after the house and studios were left vacant was sold to East Hampton in 2013 with the town planning to tear it down. The town reconsidered their decision in February 2017 to tear down following a local campaign to restore the compound and instead announced plans to restore the studio and house. Town officials noted Brooks paint cans were still in the studio.

paragraph: Considered a first generation abstract expressionist painter, Brooks was among the first abstract expressionists to use staining as an important technique. According to art critic Carter Ratcliff, "His concern has always been to create painterly "accidents" of the kind that allow buried personal meanings to take on visibility." In his paintings from the late 1940s Brooks began to dilute his oil paint in order to stain the mostly raw canvas. These works often combined calligraphy and abstract shapes.

paragraph: Brooks had his first one-man exhibition of his abstract expressionist paintings in 1949 at the Peridot Gallery in New York. His work was displayed in the 9th Street Art Exhibition in 1951.

paragraph: Public collections holding works by James Brooks include: the Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza Art Collection (Albany, NY), Courtauld Institute of Art (London), the Dallas Museum of Art (Dallas, Texas), the Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY), the Harvard University Art Museums, the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York, NY), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Indianapolis Museum of Art (Indianapolis, Indiana), the Sheldon Art Gallery (Lincoln, Nebraska), the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington D.C.), the Tate Gallery (London) and the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis, Minnesota). His works were also exhibited by galleries including the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York City, the Peridot Gallery in New York, and Washburn Gallery in New York.

paragraph: John Skylitzes

paragraph: John Skylitzes, Latinized as Ioannes Scylitzes (, "Iōannēs Skylitzēs"/"Skyllitzēs"/"Skylitsēs"; early 1040s – after 1101), was a Greek historian of the late 11th century.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Very little is known about his life. The title of his work records him as a "kouropalatēs" and a former "droungarios" of the "Vigla", whereby he is usually identified with a certain John Thrakesios.

paragraph: His major work is the "Synopsis of Histories" (), which covers the reigns of the Byzantine emperors from the death of Nikephoros I in 811 to the deposition of Michael VI in 1057; it continues the chronicle of Theophanes the Confessor. There is a continuation of this work, known as "Scylitzes Continuatus" covering 1057 to 1079; some historians hypothesize that it was also written by Skylitzes.

paragraph: Section::::The Madrid Skylitzes.

paragraph: The most famous manuscript of the Synopsis was produced in Sicily in the 12th century known as the "Madrid Skylitzes", and is now at the "Biblioteca Nacional de España" in Madrid. It features 574 miniatures, while some 100 have been lost, and is the only surviving Byzantine illuminated chronicle in Greek, providing an invaluable primary source for the visualization of contemporary Byzantium.

paragraph: Section::::Bibliography.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Text: The Thurn edition supersedes the much older one by Migne, below. A popular edition is being prepared for Kanakis books (with parallel Modern Greek "translation") and a facsimile edition of the Madrid is also available from Militos (Μίλητος) Publishers.

paragraph: Born out of wedlock in Pietermaritzburg to a Welsh father and a black Saint Helenan mother, the dark-eyed and dark-skinned Llewellyn had an underprivileged upbringing in Natal, being considered of mixed blood. He showed all round cricketing prowess from a young age as a hard hitting left-handed batsman, slow left-arm bowler (with a dangerous Slow left-arm wrist-spin delivery as part of his arsenal) and a great fielder, particularly at mid-off.

paragraph: While the racism of late nineteenth-century South Africa had led to other leading non-white players being omitted from representative sides, Llewellyn's ability to pass himself off as white in some cases (Wilfred Rhodes described him as "like a rather sunburned English player"), helped clear the racial hurdle to selection and he was chosen to make his first-class debut for Natal against Transvaal on 13 April 1895, where he took four wickets. While now accepted as a cricketer, Llewellyn would be referred to as "coloured" throughout his career and there are reports of his race-related mistreatment by other South African players.

paragraph: Duly impressed with his cricketing skill, selectors chose him in a Natal side against Lord Hawke's England XI and subsequently selected Llewellyn to make his Test debut for South Africa against England at Johannesburg on 2 March 1896, aged 19 years and 155 days.

paragraph: Llewellyn failed to take a wicket in this first Test and was promptly omitted from the remainder of the series but responded by performing impressively in the 1897–98 and 1898–99 Currie Cups, which led to his recall to the national team for the first Test of the 1898–99 series against England. Llewellyn impressed by taking five wickets but was surprisingly left out of the second Test.

paragraph: At the end of the 1898–99 series Llewellyn, perturbed by the actions of the selectors and seeking financial security, left South Africa to play for English county side Hampshire County Cricket Club as a professional, on the recommendation of South African teammate Major Robert Poore, an ex-Hampshire cricketer on military assignment. He would star for Hampshire for over a decade, scoring 8772 runs at 27.58 and snaring 711 wickets at 24.66. His form was such that in 1902 Llewellyn was named in the English First Test squad against the touring Australians, missing out on the final side. He was however included in a strong English side captained by Ranjitsinhji to tour America that included Jessop, Sammy Woods, Archie MacLaren, Stoddart, Bosanquet and Townsend.

paragraph: In 1902–03 Llewellyn returned to South Africa to play in the three Test series against Australia. He scored 90 in the First Test, his highest Test score, as well as taking nine wickets for the match. Llewellyn took ten wickets in the second Test and six in the third to top the series bowling average at 17.92; a remarkable achievement considering Australia won the series 2–0.

paragraph: Llewellyn continued to shine for Hampshire, capped by his selection as one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Year in 1910, his last year at Hampshire. He then toured Australia with the South African team, where his bowling served as fodder for Victor Trumper, before returning to England in 1911 to join club side Accrington, thereby becoming the first Test cricketer to play in the Lancashire League.

paragraph: In 1912, South Africa brought him out of first-class retirement to play in the Triangular Tournament, scoring 75 in the first Test against England at Lord's and a further half-century against Australia at Lord's.

paragraph: Llewellyn retired from Test cricket after the triangular tournament, having played 15 Tests (five against England and ten against Australia), scored 544 runs at 20.14 and 48 wickets at 29.60. He however continued to star in league cricket, finally retiring in 1938 at the age of 62.

paragraph: Llewellyn broke his thigh in 1960, affecting his movement for the remainder of his life and died in Chertsey, Surrey in 1964, aged 87. Even after his death, Llewellyn remained a controversial figure, as Llewellyn's daughter, resident in England, in 1976 publicly contested claims that he was not white, stating that his mother had been an English-born white woman.

paragraph: Llewellyn's legacy as the first non-white South African Test cricketer remains large. During the apartheid period he was used to show that non-white cricketers could perform as well as their white counterparts, while modern day commentators have pointed to the erratic selection of Llewellyn for South Africa throughout his career as the result of prejudice due to his skin colour.

paragraph: While Llewellyn was the first non-white South African Test cricketer, it was not until Omar Henry took the field against India in November 1992 that South Africa had its second.

paragraph: Stephen Godin

paragraph: Stephen Peter Godin (24 March 1707 – 15 March 1787) was an insurance broker in the City of London and a land-owner in Middlesex. He acquired Cullands Grove in Southgate in what is now north London and may have built the first house on the land. He played an active part in public life and was an officer of a number of charitable organisations.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: Stephen Godin was born around 1707 to Stephen Peter Godin (died 1729), a Huguenot merchant in London, and his wife Sussana Godin (née Atterbury).

paragraph: According to family records published in "The Genealogist" in 1912, he married Rebecca Noortwyck in Wanstead on 15 June 1731. They were married for 42 years, until his wife's death on 8 March 1774. They had 12 children, 5 sons and 7 daughters; all of the sons and several of the daughters died young.

paragraph: Four daughters survived and were married, three to merchants of the Russia Company. His eldest daughter, Elizabeth Godin, married John Shiffner. Stephen's fourth daughter, Jane Godin, married Godfrey Thornton, later Governor of the Bank of England; one of their sons (Stephen's grandson) was William Astell.

paragraph: Stephen's second daughter Susanna Godin (1735–1801) married John Cornwall, and three of their daughters (Stephen's granddaughters) married notable husbands: Susan Cornwall married Samuel Heywood in 1781, and Rebecca and Eleanor Cornwall married John Simeon later 1st Baronet and Peter Thellusson, later 1st Baron Rendlesham, at a double wedding in 1783. A fourth daughter, Augusta Cornwall, married James Stanley, and their daughter Augusta (Stephen's great-granddaughter) married Richard Dawson, 1st Earl of Dartrey.

paragraph: Stephen Godin's youngest daughter, Sophia, married Lt. Col. (later General) Robert Morse (1743-1818) of the Corps of Engineers, and later first Inspector-General of Fortifications; their surviving daughter Harriett Morse married the military engineer James Carmichael-Smyth (later Major General and 1st Baronet).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Godin practised with great success as a marine insurance broker in the City of London. He was known for his philanthropy and the role he played in public life. In 1760 he was a steward of the London Hospital, Mile End Road, a member of the committee of the Society for the British Troops, and a steward of Magdalen House for Reception of Penitent Prostitutes in Prescot Street, Goodman's Fields (opened 1758). He was a member of the Incorporated Society for Promoting English Protestant Schools in Ireland and a director of the French Hospital (La Providence) in London in 1769.

paragraph: In the mid-18th century, possibly in 1754, Godin bought the woodland known as Gullands Grove, later Cullands Grove, Southgate, in the county of Middlesex, from Walter Henshaw and Henry Hadley. He greatly improved it and owned it until his death by which time Cullands Grove house was in existence. The house and estate were sold after his death to Sir William Curtis, 1st Baronet, who made improvements to the house.

paragraph: Stanisław Knapowski

paragraph: Stanisław Knapowski (May 19, 1931 – September 28, 1967) was a Polish mathematician who worked on prime numbers and number theory. Knapowski published 53 papers despite dying at only 36 years old.

paragraph: Section::::Life and education.

paragraph: Stanisław Knapowski was the son of Zifia Krysiewicz and Roch Knapowski. His father, Roch Knapowski was a lawyer in Poznań but later taught at Poznań University. The family moved to the Kielce province in south-eastern Poland after the German invasion of 1939 but returned to Poznań after the war.

paragraph: Stanisław completed his high school education in 1949 excelling at math and continued on at Poznań University to study mathematics. Later in 1952 he continued his studies at University of Wrocław and earned his master's degree in 1954.

paragraph: Knapowski was appointment an assistant at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań under Władysław Orlicz and worked towards his doctorate. He studied under the direction of Pál Turán starting in Lublin in 1956. He published many of his papers with Turán and Turán wrote a short biography of his life and work in 1971 after his death.

paragraph: Knapowski began to work in this area and finished his doctorate in 1957 “Zastosowanie metod Turaná w analitycznej teorii liczb” ("Certain applications of Turan's methods in the analytical theory of numbers").

paragraph: Knapowski had the opportunity to work abroad. He spent a year in Cambridge and worked with Louis J. Mordell and listened to classes by J.W.S. Cassels and Albert Ingham. He then moved on to Belgium, France and The Netherlands.

paragraph: Knapowski returned to Poznań to finish another thesis to complete a post-doctoral qualification needed to lecture at a German university. "On new "explicit formulas" in prime number theory" in 1960.

paragraph: In 1962 the Polish Mathematical Society awarded him their Mazurkiewicz Prize and he moved to Tulane University in New Orleans, United States. After a very short return to Poland, he left again and taught in Marburg in Germany, Gainesville, Florida and Miami, Florida.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Knapowski was a good classical pianist. He was also an avid driver, but he died in a traffic accident where he lost control of his car, leaving the Miami airport.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Knapowski expanded on the work of others in several fields of number theory, prime number theorem, modular arithmetic and non-Euclidean geometry.

paragraph: Section::::Work.:Number of times the Δ("n") prime sign changes.

paragraph: Mathematicians work on primality tests to develop easier ways to find prime numbers when finding them by trial division is not practical. This has many applications in cybersecurity. There is no formula to calculate prime numbers. However, the distribution of primes can be statistically modelled. The prime number theorem, which was proven at the end of the 19th century, says that the probability of a randomly chosen number being prime is inversely proportional to its number of digits (logarithm).

paragraph: At the start of the 19th century, Adrien-Marie Legendre and Carl Friedrich Gauss suggested that as formula_1 goes very large, the number of primes up to formula_1 is asymptotic to formula_3, where formula_4 is the natural logarithm of formula_1.

paragraph: where the integral is evaluated at formula_7, also fits the distribution.

paragraph: The prime counting function formula_8 is defined as the number of primes not greater than formula_9.

paragraph: And formula_10

paragraph: Bernhard Riemann stated that formula_11 was always negative but J.E. Littlewood later disproved this.

paragraph: In 1914 J.E. Littlewood proved that there are arbitrarily large values of "x" for which

paragraph: and that there are also arbitrarily large values of "x" for which

paragraph: Thus the difference ("x") − Li("x") changes sign infinitely many times.

paragraph: Stanley Skewes then added an upper bound on the smallest natural number formula_1:

paragraph: Knapowski followed this up and published a paper on the number of times formula_11 changes sign in the interval formula_11.

paragraph: Section::::Work.:Modular arithmetic.

paragraph: Knapowski worked in other areas of number theory. One area was on the distribution of prime numbers in different residue classes modulo formula_18.

paragraph: Modular arithmetic modifies usual arithmetic by only using the numbers formula_19, for a natural number formula_9 called the modulus. Any other natural number can be mapped into this system by replacing it by its remainder after division by formula_9.

paragraph: The distribution of the primes looks random, without a pattern. Take a list of consecutive prime numbers and divide them by another prime (like 7) and keep only the remainder (this is called reducing them modulo 7). The result is a sequence of integers from 1 to 6. Knapowski worked to determine the parameters of this modular distribution

paragraph: Victurnien-Jean-Baptiste de Rochechouart de Mortemart

paragraph: Victurnien Jean-Baptiste Marie de Rochechouart, prince of Tonnay-Charente then 9th duke of Mortemart (8 February 1752 in Everly – 4 July 1812 in Paris) was a French general and politician. He came from the Mortemart branch of the house of Rochechouart, named after the barony of Mortemart in Haute-Vienne, later raised to a marquisate and finally in December 1650 to a peer-duchy.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Victurnien-Jean-Baptiste was the second son of Jean-Victor de Rochechouart (1712–1771), duke of Mortemart and of Charlotte Nathalie de Manneville. In October 1768 he joined the artillery school in Strasbourg. On 20 March 1774 he was made colonel of the régiment de Lorraine-Infanterie, later rising to brigadier of infantry on 1 January 1784 and maréchal-de-camp on 9 March 1788.

paragraph: After taking part in the second Assembly of Notables and supporting Protestants' claims in the parlement (where he appeared as a peer), on 24 March 1789 he was elected a noble deputy for the bailliage of Sens in the Estates General of 1789. There he supported Jacques Necker's plans, but opposed the reforms demanded by the majority of the assembly – he notably protested against the suppression of the rights of péage and minage. He resigned on 20 April 1790 and left France the following year. He fought with the royalist army in the 1792 campaign and then moved to England, where he was welcomed by George III with "kindness" and "distinction".

paragraph: Commanding the régiment de Mortemart (a French émigré corps in British pay), de Mortemart returned to continental Europe in autumn 1794 and the following year joined the force which landed on Guernsey. In 1796 he moved to Portugal, where he served until 1802. His regiment was disbanded at the Peace of Amiens and de Mortemart returned to France "where he lived peacefully". Napoleon I made him a member of the conseil général for the Seine department on 26 March 1812, but he died suddenly in July that year from a vicious fever.

paragraph: De Mortemart was also a man of letters, leaving behind several unedited works "of a superior quality", such as a poem on the theme of Joseph in Egypt and a verse translation of John Milton's "Paradise Lost", along with several tales and light poems.

paragraph: Section::::Ancestry, marriage and issue.

paragraph: Lope Díaz III de Haro

paragraph: Lope Díaz III de Haro (b. ? – d. June 8, 1288, Alfaro) was a Spanish noble and head of the House of Haro. He was the 8th Lord of Biscay, a post which he gained by hereditary means after the death of his father. He held that title from 1254 until his own death in 1288 where he died attempting to assassinate the King of Castile.

paragraph: Section::::Family Origins.

paragraph: He was son of Diego López III de Haro and Constanza de Bearne. His maternal grandparents were the Vizconde Guillermo II de Bearne and his wife, Garsenda de Provenza. His paternal grandparents were Lope Díaz II de Haro, also Lord of Biscay, and of Urraca Alfonso de León, the illegitimate daughter of King Alfonso IX of León. Lope was the oldest of 5 siblings which included Teresa de Haro, who merged the Haro family with the House of Lara, and Diego López V de Haro who died during the Siege of Algeciras in 1310.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Lope took possession of the title of Biscay while still a minor after the death of his father. Due to the unnatural way in which his father died and the fact that his father had actively supported the overthrow of Alfonso X of Castile and had sworn allegiance to the King of Navarre, Lope's tutors brought the boy to Estella-Lizarra where he too offered his services to the Navarese King.

paragraph: After long, Lope was reconciled with Alfonso X who reinstated Lope as Lord of Haro, a privilege his father had lost the family. Lope entered the service of Fernando de la Cerda, the eldest son of King Alfonso X. Fernando however ended up dying in 1275, throwing into question his line of succession. Disputes arose between two of his sons; Alfonso de la Cerda and Sancho de la Cerda who began jockeying for power and influence to see who would gain power over the succession of the Castilian crown. Lope decided to throw his support behind Sancho which turned out to be a savvy move.

paragraph: On April 4, 1284, Alfonso X of Castile died and Sancho IV of Castile was named King of Castile. Sancho IV was married to María de Molina who was the sister of Don Lope Diaz' wife. This good fortune made Lope a very powerful man, earning the Lord of Biscay the additional titles of Mayordomo Real of the Kingdom, Caniller y Alférez Mayor, and was given title of all the land from Burgos to Cantabria. In 1287, he was the regent of the Kingdom of Castile along with the Bishop of Astorga.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Before long, the other nobles of Castile became envious of Lope's enormous power and began to take their issues up with the King. Things came to the breaking point on June 8, 1288 in a town in La Rioja called Alfaro. In a meeting with King Sancho IV, Lope Díaz III de Haro got in an argument with Juan Alfonso López de Haro I, a noble of the same House of Haro who held the title of Señorío de Cameros. The argument allegedly resulted in Lope pulling out a knife and threatening the life of the King where after he was executed. The Spanish text of the incident from author Claudio Sánchez-Albornoz y Menduiña is as follows.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and Descendants.

paragraph: He married Juana Alfonso de Molina, daughter of Alfonso of Molina, niece of the King Alfonso IX of León, and sister of the wife of King Sancho IV of Castile. He married Juana without the consent of the king which was considered a great affront at the time. The wedding took place at the Monasterio de Santa María y San Andrés and the following marriage brought two children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Diego López IV de Haro (b. ? – d. 1289), who succeeded his father as Lord of Biscay and as head of the House of Haro. After his death, there was a struggle over the succession of the Lordship of Biscay between Diego's paternal uncle, Diego López V de Haro, and his sister, María II Díaz de Haro who was supported by her husband and King Alfonso X.

paragraph: BULLET::::- María II Díaz de Haro (b. c. 1274 – d. 1342), Married Juan de Castilla, hijo de Alfonso X of Castile, the King of Castile and León. She became the Señora de Vizcaya or Lady of Biscay in 1310, after the death of her paternal uncle Diego López V de Haro, with whom she had been fighting for the title. Diego V was successful in his attempts to capture the lordship after the death of Diego López IV de Haro. Maria was the mother of Juan de Haro 'el Tuerto' who was assassinated in Toro in 1326 by order of the King Alfonso XI de Castilla.

Traditional hagiographies like "Periya Puranam" (13th century CE) and "Thiruthondar Thogai" (10th century CE) detail his legendary life and services to the Hindu god Shiva. Kari Nayanar was a vedic Brahmin devotee as well as a Tamil poet with an understanding of Sanskrit. The poet-saint compiled the vedic truths in "Kovai"(Anthology), a Tamil composition titled "Karikkovai". Therefore the saint got the name as Kari Nayanar.

paragraph: Section::::Hagiography.

paragraph: Kari Nayanar was born in a Vedic Brahmin family in Thirukkadaiyur, a coastal town located - 15 km north of Karaikal - on the east coast of Tamil Nadu, where there are Amritaghateswarar - Abirami Temple and the ancient Thirukkadaiyur Mayanam temple. The poet-saint was not only the great Shiva devotee but also a learned scholar. The saint, with the help of his Sanskrit learning and with fair knowledge about the Vedic truths, composed anthologies in praise of Shiva and on Vedic truths. The knowledge of Vedic truths originally compiled in Sanskrit language was disseminated in the easily understandable, rhythmic and music filled Tamil anthology compositions, which melted the entire Tamil regions. The poet-saint also composed anthologies in praise of the monarchs i.e., Chera, Chozha and Pandyan, the rulers of three major Tamil kingdoms. In appreciation of his anthologies, the poet-saint was rewarded with heaps of prize money and gifts. The saint utilized all his earnings for the cause of Saiva services. The poet-saint built many Shiva temples. He also served Shiva devotees. After rendering the prolonged selfless services, the devotion, faith and intense prayers of the poet-saint made him to attain the abode of Shiva.

paragraph: Tamil month Masi – Puradam Poorvashada, Purvashada, star is widely celebrated as Guru Puja Day of Kari Nayanar.

paragraph: Yasovarman I

paragraph: Yasovarman I () was an Angkorian king who reigned in 889–910 CE. He was called "Leper King".

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Yasovarman was a son of King Indravarman I and his wife Indradevi.

paragraph: His teacher was the Brahman Vamasiva, part of the Devaraja cult priesthood. Vamasiva's master, Sivasoma, was connected to the Hindu philosopher Adi Shankara.

paragraph: After the death of Indravarman, a succession war was fought by his two sons, Yasovarman and his brother. It is believed that the war was fought on land and on sea by the Tonlé Sap. In the end Yasovarman prevailed.

paragraph: Because of his father had sought to deny his accession, according to inscriptions cited by L.P. Briggs, "Yasovarman I ignored his claim to the throne through his father, Indravarman I, or through Jayavarman II, the founder of Angkor dynasty, and built up an elaborate family tree, connecting himself through his mother with ancient kings of Funan and Chenla."

paragraph: Yasovarman I led a failed invasion of Champa, as documented at Banteay Chmar.

paragraph: Section::::Yasovarman I’s achievements.

paragraph: During the first year of his reign, he built about 100 monasteries ("ashrams") throughout his kingdom. Each "ashram" was used as a resting place for the ascetic and the king during his trips. In 893 he began to construct the Indratataka Baray (reservoir) that was started by his father. In the middle of this lake (now dry), he built the temple Lolei.

paragraph: Yasovarman was one of the great Angkorian kings. His greatest achievement was to move the capital from Hariharalaya to Yashodharapura where it remained there for 600 years. It was at this new capital where all of the great and famous religious monuments were built, e.g. the Angkor Wat. There were many reasons for the move. The old capital was crowded with temples built by the previous kings. Thus, the decision was religious: In order for a new king to prosper, he must build his own temple and when he died it must become his mausoleum. Second, the new capital was closer to the Siem Reap River and is halfway between the Kulen hills and the Tonlé Sap. By moving the capital closer to the sources of water the king could reap many benefits provided by both rivers.

paragraph: Yashodharapura was built on a low hill called Bakheng, and connected to Hariharalaya by a causeway. Simultaneously, he started to dig a huge reservoir at his new capital. This new artificial lake, the Yashodharatataka, or the East Baray, with 7.5 by 1.8 km long dykes.

paragraph: The Lolei, Phnom Bakheng, and the East Baray are monuments to this ruler, all located near Cambodia's national treasure, a later construction, Angkor Wat. Phnom Bakheng was one of three hilltop temples created in the Khmer Empire’s Angkor capital region during Yasovarman’s reign, the other two being Phnom Krom and Phnom Bok.

paragraph: Section::::Posthumous name.

paragraph: Yasovarman died in 910 and received the posthumous name of Paramashivaloka. He had leprosy.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Wife of Yasovarman was a sister of Jayavarman IV. She bore two sons to Yasovarman – Ishanavarman II and Harshavarman I.

paragraph: Augustyn Józef Czartoryski

paragraph: Prince Augustyn Józef Czartoryski (1907–1946) was a Polish noble (szlachcic). He was the son of Prince Adam Ludwik Czartoryski (and grandson of Princess Marguerite Adélaïde of Orléans) and Countess Maria Ludwika Krasińska.

paragraph: After the death of his father, Prince Augustyn took over the running of the Family Museum and became ordynat of the Sieniawa Ordynacja properties. On 12 August 1937, he married Princess Maria de los Dolores of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, daughter of Prince Carlos of Bourbon-Two Sicilies and Princess Louise of Orléans.

paragraph: Due to the prospect of war, the most precious objects were transported to Sieniawa Palace and walled up. The rest of the items were carried down to the Museum cellars, but in September as the bombs fell on Kraków Prince Augustyn and Princess Dolores, who was pregnant, decided to leave Sieniawa for a better refuge. On 18 September German troops found the cases and looted them.

paragraph: After the Germans moved on, Prince Augustyn removed all the treasures to his cousin's estate in Pełkinie saving them from the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, but the Gestapo traced all objects and removed all important cases from their hiding places. Soon after, Prince Augustyn and Princess Dolores were picked up by the Gestapo and put under arrest. After heavy negotiation, and thanks to their royal Italian and Spanish connections, they were deported and managed to reach Spain before the end of 1939.During his exile in Spain Prince Augustyn was very active in the Polish resistance, but his poor health and his desperation had its toll on his life. He died at the age of 39, leaving his young son Adam Karol to be brought up in Spain.

paragraph: In 1946, Prince Augustyn died and was buried in the crypt of the Silesian Church in Seville, Spain, along his son Ludwik Piotr who died at the age of one year.

paragraph: Nodjmet may have been a daughter of the last ramesside pharaoh, Ramesses XI, and likely even Piankh's wife, if the latter really was Herihor's predecessor as supported by Karl Jansen-Winkeln. Early in her life, she held titles such as "Lady of the House" and "Chief of the Harem of Amun".br

paragraph: According to the two Egyptologists Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton, Nodjmet had several children with her first husband Piankh: Heqanefer, Heqamaat, Ankhefenmut, Faienmut (a female) and, the most famous of all, the future High Priest of Amun/Pharaoh Pinedjem I. Nodjmet became Piankh's most trusted confidant, and every time he had to fulfill his business in Nubia, the management of Thebes was left to her. When around 1070 BCE Piankh died, Herihor was proposed as his successor; Nodjmet, however, managed to keep her prerogatives marrying this man. Later, Herihor claimed “kingship” – although only inside the borders of the Temple of Amun at Karnak – Nodjmet effectively became his “queen”: her name was inscribed inside a cartouche and later she bore titles such as "Lady of the Two Lands" and "King's Mother".

paragraph: Nodjmet outlived even her second husband, and finally died in the first years of pharaoh Smendes (c. 1064 BCE).

paragraph: Section::::Mummy.

paragraph: Her mummy was discovered in the Deir el-Bahari cache (TT320). The body is that of an old woman. She had been embalmed with a new mummification technique which involved the use of fake eyes and the packing of the limbs. The heart was still in place inside her body.

paragraph: With her mummy two Books of the Dead were found.

paragraph: One of them, Papyrus BM 10490, now in the British museum, belonged to “the King’s Mother Nodjmet, the daughter of the King’s Mother Hrere”. Whereas the name of Nodjmet was written in a cartouche, the name of Hrere was not. Since mostly this Nodjmet is seen as the wife of the High Priest Herihor, Herere’s title is often interpreted as “King’s Mother-in-law”, although her title “who bore the Strong Bull” suggests that she actually must have given birth to a king.

paragraph: Section::::Second Nodjmet debate.

paragraph: However, recently, the common opinion that there was only one Queen Nodjmet has been challenged and the old view that the mummy found in the Royal Cache was that of the mother of Herihor rather than his wife has been revived.

paragraph: Although it is beyond dispute that Herihor had a queen called Nodjmet (this was already recognised by Champollion), as far back as 1878 Naville postulated that Herihor must have had a mother called Nodjmet. He did so on the basis of Papyrus BM 10541, the other Book of the Dead found with her mummy. As A. Thijs has recently pointed out, it is indeed remarkable that, although Herihor figures in P. BM 10541, Nodjmet nowhere in her two Books of the Dead is designated as “King’s Wife”. All the stress is on her position as “King’s Mother”. The ruling family from the transitional period from the 20th to the 21st dynasty is notorious for the repetitiveness of names, so Herihor having a homonymous wife and mother would in itself not be impossible. If the Nodjmet from the Royal Cache was indeed the mother of Herihor, it follows that Hrere must have been the grandmother of Herihor rather than his mother(-in-law). In this position Hrere could well have been the wife of the High Priest Amenhotep.

paragraph: It has been proposed to refer to the Nodjmet found in the Royal Cache as "Nodjmet A" (=the mother of Herihor) and to the wife of Herihor as "Nodjmet B".

paragraph: Nodjmet as wife of Herihor has been attested in the Temple of Khonsu where she is depicted at the head of a procession of children of Herihor, and on Stela Leiden V 65, where she is depicted with Herihor who is presented as High Priest without royal overtones.
