paragraph: William Schaw

paragraph: William Schaw (c. 1550–1602) was Master of Works to James VI of Scotland for building castles and palaces, and is claimed to have been an important figure in the development of Freemasonry in Scotland.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: William Schaw was the second son of John Schaw of Broich, and grandson of Sir James Schaw of Sauchie. Broich is now called Arngomery, a place at Kippen in Stirlingshire. The Schaw family had links to the Royal Court, principally through being keepers of the King's wine cellar. The Broich family was involved in a scandal in 1560, when John Schaw was accused of murdering the servant of another laird. William's father was denounced as a rebel and his property forfeited when he and his family failed to appear at court, but the family were soon re-instated. At this time William may have been a page at the court of Mary of Guise, as a page of that name received an outfit of black mourning cloth when Mary of Guise died. William the page would have been in Edinburgh Castle with the Regent's court during the siege of Leith, while the Master of Work, William MacDowall, was strengthening the castle's defences.

paragraph: William first appears on his own account in the records in 1580 when he was listed by an English informant at the royal court as the "clock-keeper" or "cloak-keeper" amongst followers of the King's favourite Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox. He signed the negative confession whereby courtiers pledged allegiance to the Reformation. On 11 April 1581, he was given a valuable gift of rights over the lands in Kippen belonging to the Grahams of Fintry. In May 1583, William Schaw was in Paris at the death of the exiled Esmé Stewart and it was said that he took Esmé's heart back to Scotland.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Great Master of Work.

paragraph: On 21 December 1583, James VI appointed him principal Maister o' Wark (Master of Works) to the Crown of Scotland for life, with responsibility for all royal castles and palaces. Schaw had already been paid the first instalment of his salary £166-13-4 as 'grete Mr of wark in place of Sr Rbt Drummond' in November. The replacement of the incumbent Robert Drummond of Carnock with Schaw, known as a Roman Catholic, may have been a reaction to the Ruthven Raid that had removed Lennox from power. By the terms of his appointment, Schaw for the rest of his life was to be;

paragraph: 'Grit maister of wark of all and sindrie his hienes palaceis, biggingis and reparationis, – and greit oversear, directour and commander of quhatsumevir police devysit or to be devysit for our soverane lordis behuif and plessur.' or, in current words; 'Great master of work of all and sundry his highness' palaces, building works and repairs, – and great overseer, director and commander of whatsoever policy devised or to be devised for our sovereign lord's behalf and pleasure.'

paragraph: In November 1583 Schaw travelled on a diplomatic trip to France with Lord Seton and his son Alexander Seton, a fellow Catholic with an interest in architecture. The Seton family remained supporters of Mary, Queen of Scots who was exiled in England. Schaw returned in the winter of 1584, and became involved in building work for the Seton family. In 1585 he was one of three courtiers who entertained Danish ambassadors visiting the Scottish court at Dunfermline and St Andrews. In 1588 Schaw was amongst a group of Catholics ordered to appear before the Edinburgh Presbytery, and English agents reported him as being a suspected Jesuit and holding anti-English views during the 1590s. In May 1596 an English paper listing reasons to suspect James VI of being himself a Roman Catholic, included the appointment of known Catholics to household offices, noting Schaw as 'Praefectum Architecturae,' his friend Alexander Seton as President of Council, and Lord Hume as the King's body guard. By this time he had acquired the barony of Sauchie.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Servant of Anna of Denmark.

paragraph: in 1589 he was amongst the courtiers who accompanied James VI to Denmark to fetch his new queen Anna of Denmark. He returned on 15 March 1590, ahead of the rest of the party to prepare for their subsequent return. He busied himself repairing Holyrood Palace and Dunfermline Palace which had been assigned to the queen. He was given £1,000 Scots from tax money raised in Edinburgh for the royal marriage to spend on the repairs at Holyroodhouse. He was also responsible for the elaborate ceremony greeting her arrival at Leith and the decoration of St Giles for her coronation. He subsequently became master of ceremonies to the court.

paragraph: By 1593 he was appointed as Chamberlain to the Lordship of Dunfermline, which was an office of the household of Queen Anna, where he worked closely with Alexander Seton and William Fowler. This involved receipting accounts for jewels the Queen bought from the son of the jeweller George Heriot in 1598., and collecting rents 'feumaills' from her lands.

paragraph: James VI and Anna built a new Chapel Royal at Stirling Castle in 1594, which has no documented association with Schaw, but was probably built under his direction. The Italianate building was used for the christening of James' and Anna's son. The Queen gave him a hat badge in the form of a golden salamander at New Year 1594-5. The badge was supplied by the jeweller Thomas Foulis. In March 1598 he was tasked with giving the Queen's brother, Ulrik, Duke of Holstein a tour of Scotland with Esmé's son, Ludovic, Duke of Lennox, taking him to Fife, Dundee, Stirling Castle, and on a trip to the Bass Rock.

paragraph: On 8 July 1601, James VI sent William to consult with Master John Gordon on the construction of a monument to the King's rescue from the Gowrie House conspiracy the previous year. James VI wrote to Gordon that William would "conferre with yow thairanent, that ye maye agree upon the forme, devyse, and superscriptionis."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Family and feud.

paragraph: His niece married Robert Mowbray, a grandson of the treasurer Robert Barton, and following his death she married James Colville of East Wemyss in 1601, which caused a family feud between Francis Mowbray, Robert's brother, and Schaw and Colville. Mowbray, an erstwhile English agent, wounded Schaw with a rapier in a quarrel, was subsequently arrested for plotting against the king, and died following an escape attempt from Edinburgh Castle. Another niece, Elizabeth Schaw of Broich, married John Murray of Lochmaben, a important courtier in the bedchamber, who became Earl of Annandale.

paragraph: Schaw died in 1602. He was succeeded as King's Master of Works by David Cunninghame of Robertland. His tomb in Dunfermline Abbey was constructed at the expense of his friend Alexander Seton and Queen Anne, and survives with a lengthy Latin inscription recording Schaw's intellectual skills and achievements. The tomb inscription remains the most valuable source of biographic information, and was composed by Alexander Seton, translated it reads:

paragraph: This humble structure of stones covers a man of excellent skill, notable probity, singular integrity of life, adorned with the greatest of virtues – William Schaw, Master of the King's Works, President of the Sacred Ceremonies, and the Queen's Chamberlain. He died 18th April, 1602.

paragraph: Among the living he dwelt fifty-two years; he had travelled in France and many other Kingdoms, for the improvement of his mind; he wanted no liberal training; was most skilful in architecture; was early recommended to great persons for the singular gifts of his mind; and was not only unwearied and indefatigable in labours and business, but constantly active and vigorous, and was most dear to every good man who knew him. He was born to do good offices, and thereby to gain the hearts of men; now he lives eternally with God.

paragraph: Queen Anne ordered this monument to be erected to the memory of this most excellent and most upright man, lest his virtues, worthy of eternal commendation, should pass away with the death of his body."

paragraph: Elizabeth Shaw and James Schaw were William's executors. In 1612 the Privy Council of Scotland searched the accounts and found he was still owed his annual fee for several years. The council wrote to the king that he had been, "in his lyftime, and during the tyme of his service, he wes a most painefull, trustye, and welle affectit servand to your majestie."

paragraph: Section::::Masonic Statutes.

paragraph: Section::::Masonic Statutes.:First Schaw Statutes.

paragraph: On 28 December 1598 Schaw, in his capacity of Master of Works and General Warden of the master stonemasons, issued "The Statutis and ordinananceis to be obseruit by all the maister maoissounis within this realme." The preamble states that the statutes were issued with the consent of a craft convention, simply specified as all the master masons gathered that day. Schaw's first statutes root themselves in the Old Charges, with additional material to describe a hierarchy of wardens, deacons and masters. This structure would ensure that masons did not take on work which they were not competent to complete, and ensured a lodge warden would be elected by the master masons, through whom the general warden could keep in touch with each particular lodge. Master masons were only permitted to take on three apprentices during their lifetime (without special dispensation), and they would be bound to their masters for seven years. A further seven years would have to elapse before they could be taken into the craft, and a book-keeping arrangement was set up to keep track of this. Six master masons and two entered apprentices had to be present for a master or fellow of the craft to be admitted. Various other rules were laid out for the running of the lodge, supervision of work, and fines for non-attendance at lodge meetings.

paragraph: The statute was agreed by all the master masons present, and arrangements were made to send a copy to every lodge in Scotland. The statute indicates a significant advance in the organisation of the craft, with shires constituting an intermediate level of organisation. These "territorial" lodges ran parallel to another set of civic organisations, incorporations, often linking masons with other workers in the building trades, such as wrights. While in some places (Stirling and Dundee), the lodges and incorporations became indistinguishable, in other places the incorporation linked the trade to the burgh, and became a mechanism whereby the merchants exercised some control over the wages of the building trades. In places like Edinburgh, where the proliferation of wooden buildings meant a predominance of wrights, the territorial lodge offered a form of craft self-governance distinct from the incorporation. Also, the masons and wrights used differing ceremonial motifs, at the respective events. The role of deacon provided a link between these incorporations and the lodges.

paragraph: Copies of the statute (along with the Second Shaw Statute) were written into the minutes of the Lodges of Edinburgh and Aitchison's Haven, near Prestonpans.

paragraph: Section::::Masonic Statutes.:Second Schaw Statutes.

paragraph: The Second Schaw Statutes were signed on 28 December 1599, at Holyroodhouse and consisted of fourteen separate statutes. Some of these were addressed specifically to Lodge Mother Kilwinning, others to the lodges of Scotland in general. Kilwinning Lodge was given regional authority for west Scotland, its previous practices were confirmed, various administrative functions were specified and the officials of the lodge were enjoined to ensure that all craft fellows and apprentices "tak tryall of the art of memorie". More generally, rules were laid down for proper record keeping of the lodges, with specific fees being laid down.

paragraph: The statutes state that Kilwinning was the head and second lodge in Scotland. This seems to relate to the fact that Kilwinning claimed predence as the first lodge in Scotland, but that in Schaw's scheme of things, the Edinburgh Lodge would be most important followed by Kilwinning and then Stirling. David Stevenson argues that the Second Schaw statutes dealt with the response from within the craft to his first statutes, whereby various traditions were mobilised against his innovations, particularly from Kilwinning.

paragraph: The reference to the art of memory may be taken as a direct reference to renaissance esotericism. William Fowler, who had been a colleague of Schaw both in his trip to Denmark and at Dunfermline, had instructed Queen Anne of Denmark in the technique. Indeed, Fowler had met Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno at the house of Michel de Castelnau in London in the 1580s. The art of memory constituted an important element of Bruno's magical system.

paragraph: The statutes also address practical matters like health & safety concerns while working at heights. In his eighteenth article Schaw recommended that;All masters or "interprisaris of warkis be verray cairfull to see thair skaffaldis and fute-gangis (platforms) surelie sett and placeit, to the effect that throw thair negligence and sleuth (laziness), na hurt or skaith cum unto persons that works at the said work, under the pain of discharging of thame thairafter to work as masters havand charge of ane work."

paragraph: Section::::Masonic Statutes.:The Sinclair Statutes.

paragraph: Two letters were drawn up in 1600 and 1601 and involved the lodges of Dunfermline, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Aitchison's Haven and Haddington, and were signed by Schaw himself in his capacity of Master of Works (but not General Warden). They are known as the First Sinclair Statutes as they supposedly confirm the role of the lairds of Roslin as patrons and protectors of the craft. Once again it would suggest that Schaw's proposed reorganisation of the craft had encountered some problems. Indeed, it presaged an ongoing struggle between the Master of Works and the Sinclairs, which Schaw's successors in the post continued, following his death in 1602.

paragraph: Henry Adamson

paragraph: Henry Adamson (1581–1637), was a Scottish poet and historian.

paragraph: Adamson was the son of James Adamson, Dean of the Merchant Guildry and Provost of Perth, Scotland, baptised on 11 November 1581. Henry set out to train as a priest, after his uncle Patrick Adamson, but instead became a schoolmaster in his home city. He died before July in the year 1637.

paragraph: His friend William Drummond encouraged the publication of his most famous poem: "Muses Threnodie: of Mirthful Mournings on the death of Mr Gall", (Edinburgh 1638 — see 1638 in poetry). The poem is an important document for its general account of Perth in the seventeenth century. Adamson is credited with first using the word "curling" in 1620. He related that his friend, Mr Gall, "a citizen of Perth, and a gentle-man of goodly stature, and pregnant wit, much given to pastime, as golf, archerie, curling and jovial companie". It also records the playing of Golf on the South Inch:

paragraph: It is also particularly noted for its observation of rosicrucianism, freemasonry and second sight. Referring to the rebuilding of a bridge over the River Tay, swept away in 1621, Adamson wrote:

paragraph: Félix Loustau

paragraph: Félix Loustau () (25 December 1922 – 5 January 2003) is a former Argentine footballer who was a key player on the River Plate squad known as La Máquina. La Maquina is considered to be one of the greatest team ever assembled in the history of South American football. They dominated Argentine football during the first half of the 1940s, winning eight national titles during his time at the club. The five forwards on the team were Juan Carlos Muñoz, José Manuel Moreno, Adolfo Pedernera, Ángel Labruna and Loustau. He usually played as an outside left and he is considered to be one of Argentina's greatest wingers.

paragraph: Because the peak of his career was during the Second World War, his international career was very limited. Nevertheless, he played 28 times for Argentina scoring ten goals. He won the Copa América in 1945, 1946 and 1947.

paragraph: Rodney Pattisson

paragraph: Rodney Stuart Pattisson, MBE (born 5 August 1943) is a British yachtsman. He is a double Olympic gold medalist in sailing won at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and 1972 Munich Olympics all in the Flying Dutchman class. He also won a silver medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics in the same class to become Great Britain’s most successful Olympic yachtsman until Ben Ainslie overtook him with 3 gold medals and a silver medal at four different Olympic Games at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Pattisson was a member of Itchenor Sailing Club.

paragraph: Section::::Sailing career.

paragraph: Pattisson was born in Campbeltown, Argyll, Scotland, where his father was posted as an airman during World War II. His family left Scotland just two months after Rodney's birth, and he has never lived in Scotland since then. Both his parents were English, and he identifies himself as English, not Scottish, despite commonly being referred to as a Scot in public sources.

paragraph: He went to school at Pangbourne College, which was founded in 1917 as the Nautical College Pangbourne. The College prepared boys to be officers in the Merchant Navy although many students joined the Royal Navy, a tradition he followed on leaving the college.

paragraph: He later teamed up with the London solicitor Iain MacDonald-Smith and won the 1968 Olympic trials. They travelled to Mexico two months before the start of the Olympics in order to acclimatise themselves to the local conditions. In 1968 Pattisson and MacDonald-Smith won the gold medal in the Flying Dutchman class in the Olympic Games on their boat "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", which was shortened by race officials to "Superdocious". Notes from the race indicate that its dominating length of lead mirrored the length of name. The boat is now in the collection of the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. At the time it was noted that in winning the gold, Pattisson became the first "Scot" to win an Olympic medal in sailing. Both Pattisson and MacDonald-Smith went on to win the FD (Flying Dutchman) World Championship in 1969 and 1970. After his Olympic victory in 1968, Pattisson resigned his commission in the Royal Navy so as to give himself more time for training.

paragraph: Hugh Cornwell

paragraph: Hugh Alan Cornwell (born 28 August 1949) is an English musician and singer-songwriter, best known for being the vocalist and guitarist for the punk rock/new wave band the Stranglers from 1974 to 1990.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Cornwell grew up in Tufnell Park and Kentish Town and attended William Ellis School in Highgate, where he played bass in a band with Richard Thompson, later a member of Fairport Convention. In the late 1960s, after earning a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Bristol University, he embarked on post-graduate research at Lund University in Sweden. Not long after his arrival he formed the band Johnny Sox.

paragraph: Section::::The Stranglers.

paragraph: Cornwell returned to the UK in 1974 with Johnny Sox (minus Hans Wärmling). Jet Black then joined the band. At one stage it was just Cornwell and Black, who were then joined by Jean-Jacques Burnel. Hans Wärmling, on holiday from Sweden, joined the line-up towards the end of 1974. The Johnny Sox name was dropped, with the band adopting the name The Guildford Stranglers before settling on The Stranglers.

paragraph: Wärmling was soon replaced by Dave Greenfield, who joined in 1975 after answering an advertisement placed in the "Melody Maker". Cornwell was the lead guitarist in the group and he also sang the majority of songs.

paragraph: By 1977 the group had secured a contract with United Artists Records; they went on to become the highest-selling band to emerge from the UK punk scene, with numerous hit singles and record albums.

paragraph: By the time Cornwell reached his thirties the British punk scene had started to fade, and this was instrumental in prompting him to begin a solo career. He recorded his first album away from the group, "Nosferatu", in collaboration with the Captain Beefheart's Magic Band's drummer, Robert Williams, in 1979.

paragraph: In 1990 he decided that the Stranglers could go no further artistically. He recorded the album "10" with the band before leaving after 16 years.

paragraph: Section::::Post-Stranglers solo career.

paragraph: After leaving the Stranglers, Cornwell worked with Roger Cook and Andy West as CCW. Their self-titled album was released in 1992, with five tracks co-produced by Neil Davidge. Cornwell has released several solo albums including "Wolf" (1988) produced by Ian Ritchie, "Wired" (1993), "Guilty" (1997), "Hi Fi" (2000), "Footprints in the Desert" (2002), "Mayday" (2002), "In the Dock" (2003), and "Beyond Elysian Fields" (2004). "Wired", "Guilty" and "Hi Fi" were released under different names, and with slightly different track listings, in the United States. "Beyond Elysian Fields" was initially released by Track Records in the UK, followed by Invisible Hands Music in the rest of the world, with expanded artwork. In 2006 a live album in two forms appeared: "People Places Pieces", a triple CD box set, accompanied by a simultaneously released mass-market highlights disc, "Dirty Dozen". The 12-track highlights disc, "Live It and Breathe It", was released in 2005 in advance of the box set.

paragraph: In June 2008 Cornwell followed in the footsteps of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails by offering his new album "Hooverdam" as a free download on his website. "Hooverdam" was recorded at Toe Rag Studios with record producer, Liam Watson. The album was accompanied by a film, "Blueprint", which depicted the recording process of the album. Cornwell explained that the film was partly motivated by the risible quality of DVDs accompanying contemporary CD releases. "Blueprint" was described as "an engrossing film that borrows from Godard's "Sympathy For The Devil" and Jewison's The Thomas Crown Affair".

paragraph: He released solo records "Totem and Taboo" and "Monster" during the 2010s and continues to tour as part of his three-piece solo band. In a 2018 interview he was critical of the Stranglers' current lineup, saying: "I'll be playing The Stranglers’ hits when I tour this album, because I think people are no longer associating me with those songs after 28 years. They have been sequestered by a bogus version of the group with only two original members."

paragraph: Section::::Films, theatre and television.

paragraph: Cornwell has an interest in acting, and has appeared in a number of productions including the 1987 Peter Richardson film "Eat the Rich", the award-winning BBC "Screen Two" series (successor to "Play for Today") and in the 1995 BBC production, "Rumble". He has also appeared in a number of videos and short films, including Bertrand Fèvre's "L'étoile de sang" and the Ras Barker commissioned film "Somewhere", written and directed by former "Play School" presenter Ben Thomas.

paragraph: Section::::Cricket.

paragraph: A cricket fan, Cornwell appeared on the 'Jamie Theakston Cricket Show' on BBC Radio 5 Live in 2001. He played a live acoustic version of "(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)" with the then England batsman and guitarist Mark Butcher. Cornwell subsequently became a player with Bunbury Cricket Club, and has been a guest on 'A View From The Boundary' on BBC Radio Four's "Test Match Special" and BBC Radio 5 Live's "Yes It's The Ashes".

paragraph: Section::::Books.

paragraph: Cornwell has written five books:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Inside Information" (1980) tells of the time he spent in Pentonville prison for drug possession

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Stranglers – Song by Song" (2001) guides the reader through all of The Stranglers catalogue

paragraph: Under Albert Sassoon's leadership "David Sassoon & Sons" established in 1874 in Bombay a new subsidiary, the "Sassoon Spinning and Weaving Company", which opened serval cotton mills there. In 1875 the company built the Sassoon Docks, the first wet docks in Bombay. The company was also instrumental in the founding of the Imperial Bank of Persia in 1889.

paragraph: After a visit to England in 1873 Albert Sassoon settled there permanently in 1875 to direct "David Sassoon & Sons" from London. The management of the company's affairs in Bombay was left to his younger brother Solomon David Sassoon (1841–1894).

paragraph: Dominicus Corea

paragraph: Dominicus Corea (Sinhalese family name Edirille Bandara) also known as Domingos Corea and Edirille Rala, was the son of Don Jeronimo Corea and Anna Corea. Don Jeronimo Corea was also known as Mudaliyar Vikramasinha, Commander-in-Chief of King Mayadunne's army. Jeronimo Corea was assassinated by King Mayadunne's son, Rajasinghe.

paragraph: Dominicus Corea was born in Colombo in 1565. At that time, the Portuguese had colonised Ceylon, and his parents converted to Catholicism.

paragraph: Following the murder of Don Jeronimo Corea, his two sons, Dominicus and Simon were sent to Colombo for safety – at the time King Dharmapala was reigning in the Kingdom of Kotte. Dominicus and Simon were baptised as Catholics and grew up with the young Prince Konappu Bandara – later on he reigned as King Vimala Dharma Suriya of the Kandyan kingdom.

paragraph: De Queyroz, the great Portuguese historian writing about Dominicus Corea noted that "he was able to read and write like a well bred man." Trained from boyhood warlike pursuits, he was skilled in arms, and was dreaded as being one of the most expert swordsmen in his time.

paragraph: Section::::King of Kotte and Sitawaka.

paragraph: Dominicus Corea was crowned King of Kotte in 1596. He was given the kingdoms of Kotte and Sitawaka by King Vimala Dharma of Kandy around 1596. John M.Senaveratna, in his book 'Great Sinhalese Men and Women of History' (Volume 3) wrote: 'He ( King Vimala Dharma ) according him ( Dominicus Corea ) the precedence of a King, and, in order to cement the friendship between the two, gave him a Royal Princess – Subadra Devi.' (She was the daughter of sub-King Veediya Bandara, ruler of the Principality of the Seven Korales.)

paragraph: Vimala Dharma made a proclamation throughout his capital, that on the following day would be celebrated the marriage and coronation of 'Edirimanne Suriya Bandara' – which was the name (It was his wife's family name) adopted by Corea for his investiture with Royal rank – and ordering that all the grandees of the kingdom should be present in gala dress. Edirimanne Suriya Bandara, the new-made King, wearing a crown of gold on his head, was then accommodated on the seat of the back of the middle elephant; while two influential chiefs – the oldest Mudaliyars of the (Kandyan) Court – rode each on an elephant by the side.'

paragraph: The 'Mahavamsa', the recorded chronicles of Sri Lankan history (starting from the 3rd century BCE), refers to Edirille Rala as a 'war hero.' The Mahavamsa recalls the meeting of Edirille Rala and Commander Veediya Bandara who led the armies of the Kandyan kingdom. Edirille Rala married his daughter when he was crowned King of Kotte and Sitawaka. According to the Mahavamsa, 'He (Veediya Bandara), went and stopped at the Seven Korale. By this time, the ruler there was a war hero. He was Edirimanne Suriya, better known as Edirille Rala. He had made Mudukondapala, a place close to Kurunegala, his capital city. When he saw Commander Veediya Bandara, he was delighted and welcomed him with all love and respect. He was well treated. Then both of them broke into conversation. Edirille Rala, just like Veediya Bandara, was an erstwhile enemy of the Portuguese. As such, this meeting of theirs was extra special. Both of them were enemies of the King of Sitawaka as well. This common feature was something to be happy about.'

paragraph: 'Sabaragamuwe Vamsa Kathawa,' ('Sabaragamuwa – in Legend and History'), a book published by the Sabaragamuwa Provincial Council, mentions Edirille Rala: 'Some of the very heroic and colourful figures in our history are sons of Sabaragamuwa – Parakramabahu I, born in Dedigama, the warrior King Rajasinghe I also known as Sitawaka Rajasingha, Edirille Rala born in Colombo and baptised Domingo Corea, who returned to the village of his ancestors Atulugama near Sitawaka and turned against the Portuguese.'. In his lifetime he fought for all the contending forces of the period, often changing his allegiance.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Corea rebelled against the Portuguese, and inflicted massive defeats between 1594–1596. Professor K. M. de Silva in his book 'A History of Sri Lanka,' writes about Edirille Rala's revolt against the Portuguese: 'From the beginning however, there was resistance to Portuguese mastery over Kotte. While Dharmapala was alive there were two major revolts, one led by Akaragama Appuhamy in 1594, and the other by Edirille rala in 1594–96.' King Dominicus Corea was captured by the Portuguese and executed on July 14, 1596, at the age of 31 in Colombo.

paragraph: "Such was the sad end of Domingos Corea, Edirimana Suriya Bandara, the greatest Sinhalese of his day," said Sri Lankan historian John M. Seneviratna. 'Great Warriors like Mayadunne, Veediya Bandara, Seethawaka Rajasinghe, Vimaladharmasuriya I, Senarath, Rajasinghe II, Nikapitiye Bandara and Edirille Rala who fought the Portuguese to preserve our territorial integrity and kept the Portuguese at bay despite all odds,' wrote Janaka Perera in the Asian Tribune.

paragraph: Section::::The descendants of King Dominicus Corea.

paragraph: The Sri Lankan author Kumari Jayawardena, writing about the Coreas observed: 'Unconnected to the liquor trade but making their money on plantation ventures was the Corea Family of Chilaw, an influential goyigama group with a history going back to Portuguese rule when they were warriors to Sinhala kings. During Dutch and British rule, members of the family were officials serving the state in various ways and rewarded with titles. Some members of the family took to the legal and medical professions, most notably the sons of Charles Edward Corea (a solicitor), who were active in local politics and in the Chilaw Association which campaigned against British land policies – especially the Waste Lands Ordinance, and for political reforms. The most active of Corea's sons was C.E.(Charles Edgar) who spoke up for peasant rights and was militant in his stand against the government. He was President of the Ceylon National Congress in 1924. C.E.Corea's brother, Alfred Ernest, was a doctor and the youngest Victor Corea was a lawyer who achieved fame for leading a campaign (and going to jail) in 1922 to protest the Poll Tax on all males; he was the first President of the Ceylon Labour Union led by A.E.Goonesinha and was active in the Ceylon Labour Party. While being professionals and political activists, the Coreas were also important landowners. '

paragraph: The descendants of Edirille Rala, King Dominicus Corea, still play leading roles in various professional fields in Sri Lanka and around the world. Among the notable contributions to society are ones made by Charles Edgar Corea and his brother Victor Corea who were founder members of the Ceylon National Congress and the Legislative Council of Ceylon. C.E.Corea was elected President of the Ceylon National Congress in 1924. Both were distinguished freedom fighters and were prominent in the independence movement of Ceylon.

paragraph: Sir Edward Petre, 3rd Baronet

paragraph: Sir Edward Petre, 3rd Baronet, (1631 – 15 May 1699) was an English Jesuit who became a close adviser to King James II and was appointed a privy councillor.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Petre was the son of Sir Francis Petre, 1st Baronet, of Cranham (Essex), head of a junior branch of the family of the Barons Petre, by his marriage to Elizabeth Gage, a daughter of Sir John Gage, both strong Roman Catholics. In 1649 he was sent for his education to the Jesuit College at St Omer and entered the Society of Jesus in 1671.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Petre served as a chaplain and adviser to James II of England and was an unpopular and galvanising presence at James's court. James, as a Roman Catholic reigning over a nation of Protestants, aroused much ire, and much of it was directed at Petre, his close advisor on religious matters.

paragraph: Before James's accession in 1685, Petre was vice-provincial of his order. James soon made him clerk of the closet, a position without political power. Later that year, James wrote to ask Pope Innocent XI to make Petre a bishop "in partibus" (a bishop without a see, now called a titular bishop), but Innocent refused. In 1686, Lord Castlemaine, James's ambassador to Rome, renewed the application, while James urged it forcibly on Ferdinando d'Adda, the papal nuncio in London. If the Pope was unmoved, the king was characteristically obstinate. James and Castlemaine continued to push for a bishop's position for Petre through 1687, and further requested that Petre be made a cardinal, but the pope steadfastly refused. James contemplated making Petre Anglican Archbishop of York when the see fell vacant, but the pope would not grant Petre a dispensation to hold it, and he even directed Petre's superiors to rebuke him for his excessive ambition. Petre was made a privy counsellor and Clerk of the Closet the same year.

paragraph: After his nomination to the Privy Council, the popular charges against Petre became more fervid than ever, reaching their height in insinuations made about the controversial birth of James Francis Edward Stuart, Prince of Wales, in 1688. Like many at James's court, Petre at first trusted Lord Sunderland, but he was also among the first to detect that minister's duplicity and to break with him. Modern scholars have given mixed reviews of Petre's behaviour, and contemporary sources on both sides are biased. The "Catholic Encyclopedia" says of him "with little gift for politics, nor paying much heed to them, he was nevertheless severely blamed when things went wrong. He was also regardless, almost callous, as to what was said about him by friend or foe." Petre fled to France soon after William III's armies landed in England, and he remained with James in his exile. He became head of his old college of St Omer in 1693. He was later transferred to Valten in Flanders, where he died in 1699.

paragraph: Keith McMillan

paragraph: Keith Lionel McMillan (16 April 1934 – 22 March 2012) was an English photographer and artist. He came from a family with many artistic talents: his mother was a dancer, his father a pianist and photographer, and his brother an artist. As a child, McMillan demonstrated a love for music and athletics, so his mother enrolled him in ballet at the age of eight.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Cuckfield, Sussex, McMillan passed all his examinations for the Royal Academy of Dance, and at 13 received a scholarship to Saddler's Wells. At 17, he entered the Saddler's Wells Ballet Company, which became The Royal Ballet. He danced at Saddler's Wells and Covent Garden, where the principal was Dame Ninette de Valois. He was a coryphée with the Ballet from 1955 to 1966, having been the first boy given a scholarship to attend The Saddler's Wells College at Barons Court.

paragraph: Section::::Ballet career.

paragraph: Here he met and became a protégé of Dame Margot Fonteyn who nurtured his career. Other principal dancers in the Ballet at this time were Rudolph Nureyev, Sir Robert Helpmann, Alexander Grant OBE, Michael Somes, David Blair, Maura Sheera, Nadia Nareda, Beryl Grey. During his years with the Royal Ballet, McMillan toured Europe, US and UK meeting many great and famous people. Princess Margaret, Princess Grace of Monaco, The Kennedys, The Pope and many film and stage stars.

paragraph: McMillan changed his name to Keith Milland to avoid confusion with Kenneth MacMillan—who was at that time a choreographer with the Royal Ballet. Keith danced in many ballets, including "Miracle in the Gorbals", "Madam Ogle", "La Boutique Fantasque", "Antigone", "Persephone", "Ondine", "Romeo and Juliet", "Daphnis and Chloe", "Sleeping Beauty", "Petrushka", “Silvia”, "Swan Lake", "Capalia", "Jobe", "The Rite of Spring", "La Fille Mal Gardee", "The Fire Bird", and "Le Baiser De La Fee".

paragraph: Section::::Military service.

paragraph: His ballet career was disrupted in 1952, when Madam De Valois—responding to an accusation that Royal Ballet dancers were not being called up for the military—volunteered McMillan, John Sail, and others. McMillan spent two years in the Royal Medical Corp. at Tidworth—and later at Didcot, where he ran an MRS for soldiers injured in the Korean War.

paragraph: Section::::Photography career.

paragraph: Keith’s second love, photography was encouraged by Dame Margot. He photographed her with Rudolph Nureyev, Sir Robert Helpmann, and many others. Through this association he met and befriended Tony Armstrong-Jones (Lord Snowdon). This introduction led to McMillan presenting his photographs to "The Sunday Times", which commissioned him to photograph theatrical and ballet stars. His first commission was to photograph Rudolph Nureyev.

paragraph: From 1965 to 1997 he worked for many magazines. On 27 April 1968, he photographed the Queen and her family on her birthday for the "Illustrated London News" front page. Other magazines he shot for during this time include "Avenue", "The Dancing Times", "London Life", "Harpers Bazaar", "Harpers & Queen", "Vogue", "Direct Response", "Apple Computers", "Time Out", "Radio Times", "Lion News", "Daily Express", "The Viewer", "Envoy", "Accountancy", "RIBA Journal", "Intercity Magazine", and "Dobell’s Record Sleeves".

paragraph: During this time he was sent to Europe and the US to photograph many famous people—including, Tom Jones, Sir Keith Richards, Roy Orbison, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Henry Moore, and Man Ray.

paragraph: McMillan joined Haymarket Publications in 1972 under Michael Heseltine, who had started an advertising industry magazine called "Campaign". McMillan was the magazine's first photographer. He developed his own style of corporate photography, and worked for 26 years as "Campaign's" chief photographer. The magazine still uses his photos today.

paragraph: Through commissions and other assignments, he met many luminaries in the advertising industry and attended the "Advertising Industries Award Festival" at Cannes. Charles Saatchi and Maurice Saatchi commissioned him to photograph themselves and their famous parties. He was recognised as the corporate photographer, and photographed all the British Prime Ministers and Blue Chip industry Ceo’s, plus many artists.

paragraph: Section::::The artist.

paragraph: From an early age, McMillan discovered he had artistic ability—sketching abstract dancers and scenes for the ballets he danced in. He commenced his ‘discovery of art’ in the 1950s, and was always fascinated with the world of the great artists who lived and painted in the 1920s. He loved art deco, and the modern painting made famous by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Edvard Munch, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Bauhaus design.

paragraph: McMillan studied Art at Bromley University. He learned welding to make sculptures at Greenwich. His first trip to Australia in 1993 with his partner Janece Hemensley introduced him to a new range of shapes and colours as he traveled to various part of Australia. He was looking for somewhere to settle and commence painting seriously to create his own style. He continually photographed landscapes, trees, plants, animals, and everything that made Australia his home.

paragraph: He developed a style he called “sensoryperceivism.” He completed a number of Australian landscapes that he displayed in his studio just outside Ravenshoe. McMillan also enjoyed painting portraits, and accepted commissions.

paragraph: He held his first Australian solo exhibition, "Insight", at the Atherton, Queensland, for the month of August 2004. The show presented a cross section of his work and styles—including landscapes, portraits, abstracts, and college. In April 2005, he exhibited at the Old Post Office Gallery at Atherton. This time, he called the exhibition "Aberration", and showed mainly new works that included a series on Ronny McDonald, a subject close to his heart. He was an avid toy collector.
