paragraph: Carl Busch

paragraph: Carl Busch (29 March 1862, Bjerre – 19 December 1943, Kansas City) was a Danish-born American composer and music teacher sometimes associated with the Indianist movement. He was an important figure in the musical life of Kansas City, Missouri for many years.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Busch was born in Bjerre, on Jutland, to a lawyer and his wife, and was the youngest of five children. His father hoped that he would follow him into the legal profession, but Carl was more interested in pursuing a career in music, learning to play the flute, violin, and cello. He studied and played under many of the notables of the day, including Niels Wilhelm Gade and Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann; he also worked under Johan Svendsen. The abilities he showed in his studies led to the offer of a scholarship to the conservatory in Brussels, from which city he went to Paris. There he played under Charles Gounod and Benjamin Godard, and became acquainted with Camille Saint-Saëns as well. From Paris he returned to Denmark for a time before leaving for the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Denmark's vice-consul in Kansas City was one Thyge Skogaard, a former music publisher, and he encouraged Busch to come to the United States. Consequently, in 1887 he and three friends formed a group called the Gade Quartet and came to America, eventually coming to Kansas City. In addition to playing and conducting, he also began to teach, and soon became known in local cultural circles. When the Philharmonic Choral Society was formed, he was chosen as its director. Through this position he met pianist Sallie Smith, one of the Society's members, who became his wife after a short courtship. In 1911, one of the groups with which Busch was associated became the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra; he stayed with it as director for a further seven years, until his activities were curtailed by American entry into World War I. At the same time, he was active as a composer, and served as a guest conductor elsewhere as well.

paragraph: In 1912, the King of Denmark made Busch a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog; consequently, he is sometimes referred to as "Sir Carl". More recognition came in the form of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav, into which he was inducted in 1924. He was initiated as an honorary member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity by the Fraternity's Chi chapter at the University of Washington in 1913.

paragraph: The Kansas City Philharmonic, led by Karl Krueger, honored him at a concert in 1938, upon which occasion one newspaper referred to him as "Kansas City's own outstanding composer and for fifty years its most noted musician."" He taught at the Kansas City-Horner Conservatory, and was one of the first faculty members of the University of Kansas City. He spent summers teaching and conducting as well, being invited to work at the University of Chicago and University of Notre Dame and at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan. He also frequently summered in Battle Creek, Michigan, as a guest of one of his former pupils. Busch also enjoyed woodcarving and pressing flowers, hobbies which took up more of his time in later years.

paragraph: Busch's wife died in 1939; Busch himself died in Kansas City in 1943.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: Busch was especially noted for his works based on themes from the Western United States, and he would frequently incorporate American Indian themes into his music. He set many tribal songs as solos, and reworked some into larger pieces such as the "Four Indian Tribal Melodies" for string orchestra, based upon the music of the Omaha and Chippewa. Other works, such as "A Chant from the Great Plains" for band, are more generically "Western" in their inspiration. Among Busch's other works was the suite "Ozarka", about the Ozarks in southern Missouri.

paragraph: The Sousa Archives and Center for American Music houses the Carl Busch Papers and Music Instrument Collection, ca. 1833-1924. This collection consists of original and published music by Busch and other musicians, correspondence, newspaper and journal clippings, photographs, programs, books and music instruments. There is also a bust of Busch in that collection, sculpted by "Jorgen Dreyer" in 1912.

His parents were Poovaiah and Kamavva of the Mandepanda family. He completed his Pre-University College education and Bachelor of Arts from Vivekananda College, Puttur. He is married to Shyla Appachu and has 2 sons and a daughter. A good sportsman, Ranjan was the member of college hockey and football teams. In 1997, he won the best sportsman award in a sports tourney organised for South Indian MLAs.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

He held various posts over the years amassing immense experience in the field of managing Co-operative and Agricultural organizations.

paragraph: Mr. Ranjan’s major foray into politics came in 1980 when he was elected president of the BJP youth wing in Madapur. He occupied the post of the Somwarpet taluk BJP president from 1986 to 1991 and later served as the president of the Kodagu BJP unit from 1991 to 1995. It was during his tenure that the BJP stormed the Congress bastion in Kodagu to win all three Assembly segments, others being D.S. Madappa (Madikeri) and H.D. Basavaraj (Virajpet). Somwarpet constituency was done away with during the delimitation after which Kodagu was reduced to Madikeri and Virajpet constituencies.

paragraph: Mr. Ranjan won the Assembly elections for the first time from Somwarpet in 1994 serving till 1999. He won again for the second time from the same constituency in 1999 to stay till 2004.

He served as the chairman of the Karnataka State Sports Authority in 2008 as also Karnataka Land Army Corporation Limited in the same year. Mr. Ranjan is a member of the State BJP Executive Committee and was in charge of Mysore division. In 2012, he was inducted as Cabinet Minister for Youth Services and Sports in Jagadish Shettar’s cabinet and was made the District in-charge minister of Kodagu District. Another highlighted feature of his political career is Hadi Vasthavya in 2011; he became the first M.L.A of Karnataka to stay in forest-covered areas and remote villages to understand and solve the issues of people living in highly backward regions. He stayed in Balegundi ST Colony, Taluk SC Colony ChikkaBandara, and in a remote village in Kothnalli.

paragraph: He headed the joint house committee to probe into the ruckus created by some of the Opposition members during the trust vote of the BJP government on October 11, 2010 was set up by the then House Speaker K.G.Bopaiah. In its 287-page report tabled in the House, the panel headed by him recommended suspension of Rahim Khan, Kakaso Panduranga Patil, U T Khader, N A Harris, (all Congress) B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, H C Balakrishna, C S Puttaraju, M T Krishnappa (all JD-S) for one year. It recommended suspension of B K Sangamesh, Suresh Gowda, P M Ashok, H P Manjunath, (all Congress), Bandeppa Kashempur, K Raju and K P Bache Gowda (all JD-S) for six months. It was a controversial recommendation and created a standoff in the Assembly. It is one of the few house committees that dewelled into indiscipline in a State Assembly.

paragraph: Section::::Minister for Youth Services and Sports and District in-charge of Kodagu.

paragraph: He was inducted into Jagadish Shettars cabinet as Minister for Youth Services and Sports on July 12, 2012. He was instrumental in drafting the Youth policy and recommending the Sports policy. Vivekanada Youth Policy was unveiled for the first time and various youth retreat center were established. As Sports Minister, Karnataka ‘s highest sportsperson award “the Ekalayva award” was changed to be given on the basis of marks and merit rather than recommendation. As District Incharge Minister of Kodagu, his top priority was in Health, Education, Road & Transports, House for the Homeless and Environment. During his tenure, Government permissions were given to Engineering College in Kushalnagar, Sainik School in Kudige, Mangalore University Branch in Aluvara, Kushalnagar, and a Medical College was recommended as well.

paragraph: Knud Baade

paragraph: Knud Baade (28 March 1808 - 24 November 1879) was a Norwegian painter, mostly of portraits and landscapes. He was particularly known for his moonlight paintings which are characterized by strong and dramatic contrasts between light and shadow.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Knud Andreassen Baade was born in Skjold, a former municipality now in Vindafjord in Rogaland county, Norway. While still a boy he moved to Bergen with his family. He began his artistic education at the age of fifteen, under the Danish-Swedish painter, (1794-1876). In 1827 he went to Copenhagen, where he studied at the Academy for about three years, until financial difficulties forced him to move to Christiania (now Oslo) and take up portrait-painting. When, however, his father became a magistrate in Sogn, he followed his family to the parish of Solvorn in Luster. The mountains, fiords and rocky bays offered ample subjects for his work. He also traveled northward to Trondheim and as far north as Bodø in search of material for his pictures.

paragraph: In 1836 he was persuaded by the well-known landscape painter, Dahl, to go to Dresden, where he studied for three years. There that he met Caspar David Friedrich and was strongly influenced by him. He returned to Norway in 1839 due of a disease in his eyes. In 1846 he moved to Munich, where he soon earned a reputation as a landscape painter, producing views of his native country and the scenes around its coasts, mostly depicted with moonlight effects. Though but an invalid, he worked at Munich continually until his death there in 1879.

paragraph: Baade was painter to the Court of Sweden, and a member of the Academy of Arts at Stockholm. He painted some fine portraits, especially in younger years, including portraits of his parents (1836). In addition to several trips to Sogn and Hardanger, Baade traveled widely in Germany. He also painted landscape scenes from Bavaria, Saxony, Tyrol and Switzerland. He is represented in the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design with 52 paintings.

paragraph: Anne Jacobée Nompar de Caumont de La Force, Countess de Balbi (19 August 1753 – 3 April 1842), was a French aristocrat and lady-in-waiting. She is foremost known as a mistress of the Count of Provence, who later became Louis XVIII.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Family.

paragraph: Anne was born in the Chateau La Force, the daughter of the Marquis de Caumont de la Force, an official at the court of King Louis XV and First Gentleman of the Bedchamber for the Count of Provence, and Adelaide-Luce-Madeleine Galard Brassac, governess of the children of the Count of Artois. She was married to the Count de Balbi, with whom she had four daughters.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Mistress of the Count of Provence.

paragraph: Anne was described as a witty and humorous beauty, but also attracted enemies with her relentlessness. In 1779, she became the lady-in-waiting ("dame d’atours") of the Countess of Provence, allegedly because she wanted to become the Count's lover. It is alleged that the Count made Anne his mistress because of his anger over his wife's love for Marguerite de Gourbillon. Anne's husband, who protested against their relationship, was declared insane and imprisoned in a mental asylum by the Count. Provence created a garden at Versailles in 1785, named Balbi after her.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Separation and final years.

paragraph: Anne de Balbi was, together the other favorite of the count of Provence, Duke d'Avaray, a main actor in the flight of the count and countess of Provence from France, which took place in parallel with the Flight to Varennes in June 1791. Anne de Balbi participated in the planning of he escape and left for the Austrian Netherlands on June 2, where she welcomed Provence after his successful escape on 21 June.

paragraph: Anne de Balbi played a leading role in the French emigree court of Koblenz as one of the women termed as the 'Queens of the Emigration' alongside the Princess of Monaco and Louise de Polastron, and was courted for her influence over Louis Stanislaus, who was proclaimed French regent in exile. She gave regular receptions in the house she was provided near the residence of Louis, and because it was well known that he confided in her and that she acted as his political advisor, she was courted by foreign diplomats, and reportedly had particularly closed connections with the Russian envoy.

paragraph: The Comte de Neuilly described her in this period:

paragraph: Reportedly, she had a fierce temperament and resented rivals over her influence with the count of Provence, and her rivalry with his other favorite, Duke d'Avaray, was well known and caused scenes on some occasions.

paragraph: In April 1792, she was forced to follow the countess of Provence to Savoy, since she was officially her lady-in-waiting. She eventually left Savoy and settled in Brussels, where she kept in contact with the count of Provence. During the separation, she gave birth to twins, which was reported to the count of Provence by his other favorite, d'Avaray, when she stated her plans to join the Provence party in Verona. Because of the time chronology, they could not have been the children of the Count of Provence, which made him end the relationship. The father of the twins was reportedly a Comte Archambaud de Perigord.

paragraph: She lived in England until 1802, when her name was removed from the list of émigrées. She returned to France, where she laid claims on the fortune of her spouse, and lived with her brother in the countryside until her death.

paragraph: She died in Paris in 1842, three years before her husband.

paragraph: Luxorius (saint)

paragraph: Luxurius or Luxorius (Italian - "Lussorio"; Pisan dialect - "Rossore") might have been an ancient Roman official on Sardinia in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries. "Apparitor" to Delphius, the praeses or governor of the island, he could have been converted to Christianity by reading the Psalms. He possibly was beheaded on 21 August for refusing to sacrifice to idols in the city of Forum Traiani (present-day Fordongianus), probably in 304 during the fourth of Diocletian's persecutions. Maybe, he was venerated as a martyr and saint by the Roman Catholic Church.

paragraph: The main source for his martyrdom are the 5th century "Martyrologium Hieronimianum" and the "Passio sancti Luxorii martyris" ("Codex Sancrucensis" 13 cc. 238-239). The latter was written in the years immediately after 1181 and is now held in Heiligenkreuz Abbey, a Cistercian house in Austria. A marble Latin inscription dating to the 6th century built into the south side of san Lussorio church about 1.5km from Fordongianus attests to his cult at that date:

paragraph: "(H)ic effusus est sangu(is) / beatissimi martyris / Luxuri. Celebratur / natale eius XII c(a)l(enda)s S(e)p(tem)b(re)s / renobatu(r) sup temporibus Helia(e) ep(is)c(o)p(i)."

paragraph: In 599 Gregory the Great should have wrote a letter to Januarius, bishop of Cagliari, referring to a monastery dedicated to saints Gavinus and Luxurius, probably in Cagliari itself, showing the spread of Luxurius' cult across Sardinia. He is the patron saint of several Italian cities.

paragraph: Thomas Ekins Fuller

paragraph: Sir Thomas Ekins Fuller (1831–1910) was editor of the "Cape Argus" newspaper, and a prominent Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Cape Colony.

paragraph: Initially a moderate follower of the "Cape Liberal Tradition", he advocated for responsible government (local democracy) in the 1860s as editor of the "Cape Argus" newspaper (1864-1873). He also supported the inclusive, locally-oriented politics of his liberal allies at the time.

paragraph: Between 1873 and 1875 he worked with immigration in London, before returning to the Cape to become General Manager of the Union Steamship Company (1875-1898) and Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Cape Colony (MLA for Cape Town, 1879-1900).

paragraph: Although initially a liberal, in later life, he came to be greatly influenced by the imperialist Cecil Rhodes, of whom he eventually became a devoted admirer. Finally in 1898, he even became a director of the De Beers Consolidated Mines Company.

paragraph: Sir Richard Pole

paragraph: Sir Richard Pole, KG (1462 – before 18 December 1505) was a Welshman who was a supporter and close relation of King Henry VII. He was created a Knight of the Garter and was married to Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, a member of the Plantagenet dynasty: a marriage which reinforced the Tudor alliance between the houses of Lancaster and York.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: A descendant of an ancient Welsh family, Sir Richard was a landed gentleman of Buckinghamshire, the son of Geoffrey Pole, Esquire of Worrell, Cheshire, and of Wythurn in Medmenham, Buckinghamshire (1431 – 1474 / 4 January 1479, interred in Bisham Abbey). His mother was Edith St John, daughter of Sir Oliver St John of Bletso, Bedfordshire (d. 1437) and the half-sister of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII. They shared the same mother, Margaret Beauchamp of Bletso, who had married three times; this made Richard a first cousin of the half blood to Henry VII. Sir Richard was thus first cousin of Alice St John, wife of Henry Parker, 10th Baron Morley and mother of Jane Parker, wife of George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford.

paragraph: Section::::Tudor rule.

paragraph: Henry VII gave him various offices in Wales: he was Constable of Harlech and Montgomery Castles and the High Sheriff of Merionethshire. In 1495 Pole raised men against the rebellion of Perkin Warbeck.

paragraph: Sir Richard Pole was "a valiant and expert commander" first retained to serve Henry VII in the wars of Scotland in 1497 with five demi-lancers and 200 archers, and shortly afterwards with 600 men-at-arms, 60 demi-lancers, and 540 bows and bills.

paragraph: King Henry later made him Chief Gentleman of the Privy Chamber to Arthur, Prince of Wales. Pole was invested as a Knight of the Garter on April 1499. After Prince Arthur married Catherine of Aragon in 1501 Pole accompanied them to Ludlow Castle where Arthur took his role as President of the Council of Wales and the Marches. Pole was later given responsibility for the Welsh Marches. He also had the daunting task of meeting with the Council of Wales and the Marches on how best to inform the king of his much-loved eldest son's death on 2 April 1502.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: He married Margaret Plantagenet, daughter of George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence and Isabel Neville, Duchess of Clarence, between 1491 and 1494, perhaps on 22 September 1494. On the topic of the marriage, William Shakespeare wrote "His [The Duke of Clarence's] daughter meanly have I match'd in marriage." and Horace Walpole wrote in his correspondence, "Henry had married her to the insignificant Sir Richard Pole who is called a Welsh Knight". Sir Richard Pole may have been chosen by King Henry VII as husband for his wife's cousin Margaret on the basis that he was "safe" because his mother was a half-sister of Henry's own mother, Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond—that is, one of the St Johns—and her mother in turn was a Beauchamp.

paragraph: He died before 18 December 1505.

paragraph: Section::::Issue.

paragraph: He and his wife had five children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Henry Pole, 1st Baron Montagu (c. 1492 – 9 January 1539), most famous as one of the peers in the trial of Anne Boleyn; married Jane Neville, daughter of George Neville, 5th Baron Bergavenny and Lady Joan Arundel. Henry Pole, his wife and his mother were beheaded by Henry VIII. A great-grandson of Henry Pole was Sir John Bourchier, a regicide of beheaded King Charles I of England – a great-great-grandnephew of Henry VIII.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Reginald Pole (c. 1500 – 17 November 1558), cardinal, papal legate in various regions, including England, and the final Roman Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sir Geoffrey Pole (c. 1501 or 1502 – 1558), Lord of the Manor of Lordington in Sussex, suspected of treason by King Henry VIII and accused of conspiring with Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor; lived in exile in Europe; married Constance Pakenham, daughter and heiress of Sir John Pakenham. John Pakenham was an ancestor of Sir Edward Pakenham, brother-in-law of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sir Arthur Pole (c. 1502 – 1535), Lord of the Manor of Broadhurst in Sussex; married Jane Lewkenor, daughter of Sir Roger Lewknor and the former Eleanor Tuchet, herself daughter of the 6th Baron Audley and the former Anne Echingham.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Lady Ursula Pole, Baroness Stafford (c. 1504 – 12 August 1570), married the 1st Baron Stafford.

paragraph: Edith Rebecca Saunders

paragraph: Edith Rebecca Saunders (14 October 1865 – 6 June 1945) was a British geneticist and plant anatomist. Described by J. B. S. Haldane as the "Mother of British Plant Genetics", she played an active role in the re-discovery of Mendel's laws of heredity, the understanding of trait inheritance in plants, and was the first collaborator of the geneticist William Bateson. She also developed extensive work on flower anatomy, particularly focusing on the gynoecia, the female reproductive organs of flowers.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Saunders was born on October 14 1865 in Brighton, England. She was educated first at Handsworth Ladies' College and in 1884 she entered the female-only Newnham College, Cambridge. There, she attended both Part I (in 1887) and II (in 1888) of the Natural Sciences Tripos.

paragraph: She continued her post-graduate research, and served as a demonstrator at the Balfour Biological Laboratory for Women between 1888-1890 (where students from Newnham and Girton colleges received preparation for the Natural Sciences Tripos). She was the last director of that Laboratory between 1890-1914.

paragraph: She was also director of studies at Girton College (1904–1914) and Newnham College (1918–1925).

paragraph: She was appointed a fellow of the Royal Horticulture Society from which she received the Banksian Medal in 1906. In 1905 she was one of the first women elected a fellow of the Linnean Society of London.

paragraph: In 1920 she was the president of the botanical section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. She also served as president of the Genetics Society, between 1936 and 1938.

paragraph: During World War II she served as a volunteer helping the Allied forces. She died soon after returning to Britain, in 1945, after suffering injuries in a bicycle accident.

paragraph: Section::::Research.

paragraph: Saunders' earlier research focused on genetics. Many of her genetic experiments led to her and William Bateson defining important terms like "allelomorphs" (nowadays referred to as alleles), heterozygote and homozygote. Furthermore, together with Bateson and Reginald Punnett she co-discovered genetic linkage.

paragraph: She also did extensive work in plant anatomy, particularly concerning gynoecia, having published several articles on the subject (noteworthy is her series of articles on "Illustrations of Carpel Polymorphism" published in the journal New Phytologist between 1928 and 1931).

paragraph: Countess of Derwentwater

paragraph: Amelia Matilda Mary Tudor Radclyffe, soi-disant Countess of Derwentwater, was a 19th-century claimant to the estates of the Earls of Derwentwater. She claimed to be the granddaughter of John Radclyffe, only son of the third Earl, and in 1860 commenced to agitate for her rights, initially contacting Lord Petre as the representative of descendants of the family using the name of Lady Matilda Radclyffe.

paragraph: In September 1868, Amelia took active steps to assert her claim by forcibly taking possession of the old ruined castle at Dilston.

paragraph: She hoisted the Radclyffe flag on the ancient tower, and suspended portraits of the family on the ruined walls of the principal hall. Conformable to instructions from the Lords of the Admiralty, she was ejected by their agent, when she took up residence in a tent on the side of the road. After other proceedings she was imprisoned for contempt of court, her claim having formally been investigated and found to be invalid. Nevertheless, by her eccentric conduct in the prosecution of her claim, she continued to keep constantly before the public until her death, at her residence in Durham Road, Durham, 26 February 1880, aged 49.

paragraph: She was an accomplished woman, a lover of fine art, and an artist in oil, and she was powerfully and sincerely impressed with the righteousness of her claim. Her death was caused by bronchitis, after five days' illness. She had expressed a wish to be buried in the Radclyffe vault at Hexham, but her desire could not be complied with, and she was consequently buried at Blackhill Cemetery, Consett near Durham.

paragraph: Her assertions, published in her jottings, were that John Radclyffe, the son of the last Earl of Derwentwater, and "de jure" 4th Earl of Derwentwater did not die in 1732, but was trafficked to Germany, and in 1740 married at Frankfort-on-Main, Elizabeth Arabella Maria, Countess of Waldstein. He died there in 1798, in his eighty-sixth year.

paragraph: His son James, at that time in his fifty-fifth year, was his heir, and was married to Eleanora the Countess Mouravieff, but leaving no issue, was succeeded by his brother, John James, who was born at Alston, in Cumberland, in 1764. The latter died in 1833, having married, late in life, Amelia Anna Charlotte, Princess Sobieski, a descendant of the noted Polish family of that name. They had several children, of whom John James, born in 1816, and Amelia Matilda Radclyffe, the soi-disant Countess of Derwentwater, were the only survivors.

paragraph: Amelia’s true identity remains a mystery. Ralph Arnold in his 1959 book "Northern Lights" suggests that she may have been a lady’s maid from Dover by the name of Burke though he offers no further explanation of this. The Northumbrian Jacobites website suggest that she may have been a West Country servant girl trying her luck. It is possible that she was descended illegitimately from the Radclyffes of Dilston Castle and that this connection had fuelled her belief in her own claims.

paragraph: She was reported on widely in contemporary news articles, the following appearing in the "Hobart Mercury" in October 1871:

paragraph: THE COUNTESS OF DERWENTWATER ON HER TRAVELS

paragraph: The Countess of Derwentwater is a character. Recently she took a steamer at Jersey City for Liverpool, and the goods she carried with her were thus inventoried:- One guitar, with two strings ; two old cane-seated chairs, one with two legs ; three empty four-gallon demijohns, uncorked ; two peacocks and a black-and-tan, in a box ; two broken children's cribs of mahogany, one without rockers ; one cross-breed hound of English birth ; one champagne bucket, covered with dust ; one broken painter's easel ; three rickety deckchairs, with varnish scraped off; one bag of tin ware; one six by three pedestal, without statuette, cracked ; four plain square Irish chests, two painted rod and two black, locks broken and hanging, each marked in white letters, "Countess D." ; two mammoth chests, cross-tied with half-inch clothes-line, with same mark ; those contained the Countess' numerous hats ; fifteen very ancient-looking trunks, tied across the sides and double-knotted at the back ; one tray for mixing dough ; two tin berth room trunks ; one bundle loose clothing ; two portable hat racks, rather worn ; six cases of mysteriously packed bottles, supposed to be ale ; huge crates of sauces, mixed pickles, and catsups, put up in every conceivable shape ; one copper-coloured work-box done up in oil ; seven heavy treble-twilled English travelling shawls tied with twine; thirteen gray woolen blankets made in form of "shake down" ; seventeen packages of files of newspapers. The Countess wore on this occasion a green silk dress, a white crape shawl, a pair of white silk gloves, etc. When the labourers took hold of the box containing the lady's favourite peacocks and the black-and-tan, the curious crowd pressed down on the countess until her lace-trimmed bonnet took a peep skyward, and her costly shawl swept the rough boards of the pier. "Handle 'em gently; they’re my only loves!" she sharply cried, as she broke through the jeering crowd, and reached the foot of the gang plank. "This remarkable woman," says the Suit, “has a fine estate in the north of England, in the county of Cumberland, called Derwentwater. She has always been noted for her eccentric manner and antiquated notions. Her wardrobe is said to consist of over two hundred rich and elaborately trimmed dresses, girted with gold lace, fringes, and parti-colored velvets. She wears no diamonds, and but one plain finger ring adorns her hands. She claims to have among her apparel robes worn by some of the belles of the time of William the Conqueror, and when she travels, those are part of her personal luggage, carefully packed in the fifteen trunks mentioned, which are as antiquated as the dresses. Her appearance indicates an age not beyond forty, though possibly older. She will visit Scotland and Wales before returning to her home."

paragraph: Death

paragraph: When the 'Countess' died on 27 February 1880, the 'Newcastle Courant' printed the following obituary:-

paragraph: 'Information has just reached this place [Consett] of the death, at half-past two o'clock this morning, of the 'Countess of Derwentwater,' the lady who laid claim to the vast estates which formerly belonged to the Derwentwater family, and whose eccentric conduct in the prosecution of her claim has kept her constantly before the public. It is now 20 years since this lady first notified to the world at large her claim, and her career since then has been full of interesting incidents. History records the death of John Radcliffe, the fourth Earl of Derwentwater, at the early age of nineteen, his death taking place at London in 1731. The Countess, however, asserted that the fourth Earl, instead of dying a minor in London, was smuggled over to Germany where he married in 1741, and left a large family, that to him succeeded a fifth, sixth, and seventh earl, and of this seventh earl she was a daughter, and only surviving heiress of the male descendants in a direct line. Twenty years ago, the soi-disant Countess left the foreign home of her ancestors to assume the grandeur they had so carefully shirked. On her arrival in this country, like the Tichborne claimant, she communicated her identity to those associates whom she also deemed worthy of her confidence, but, feeling perhaps, her case required some strengthening, and that sundry links in her chain of evidence were either wanting or decidedly rusty, she resolved to restrict immediate operations to the sending of a vague warning to the tenants on the various estates. In 1869, her Ladyship having made such preparations as seemed to her adequate for the purpose, once more emerged from obscurity, and having the sympathy of the masses, and being reinforced by an energetic aide-de-camp in the person of Harry Brown, then a bailiff of the Shotley Bridge Court, the campaign was opened with considerable pluck and activity. The local agents of the Admiralty were at Haydon Bridge on the occasion of one of the regular rent days appointed, and a large portion of the tenants were duly in attendance. Whilst the receiver was proceeding with the business in hand, a strange diversion was created by the entrance of the "Countess", accompanied by her henchman, and accoutred after a somewhat novel fashion of warlike equipment. Having duly announced her name, she warned the tenants present that the gentleman then receiving their rents was not authorised by her to do so, and called upon them to pay their respective amounts to herself. The tenants, of course, preferred to make their payments to the receiver, and, as the lady unceremoniously interrupted the proceedings, it was deemed advisable to induce her, if possible by argument, or, failing that, by severe measures, to quit the room. The quieter method having proved unavailing, and a threatened resort to qualified force having roused a slumbering lion, a somewhat lively scene ensued. Eventually the room was cleared, but not until a blow had been struck, for being armed with an antiquated sword, her ladyship drew the weapon, and a short struggle ensued, resulting in the snapping of the blade of the weapon. The immediate object of this first movement had failed, but great advantage was derived from the prominent place the extraordinary proceedings gained for her in the public interest.'

paragraph: Although it is unlikely that there was truth in Amelia’s claims, it is certain that she was in no way entitled to call herself Countess of Derwentwater as the title was only able to be passed through a male line. Given that the title had been attainted after the 1715 uprising the use of any title was inappropriate regardless of the truth of Amelia's claims.

paragraph: A plaque was attached to the previously unmarked grave of Amelia in 2012 in Blackhill Cemetery, near Consett, County Durham. Members of the Northumbrian Jacobite Society added a plaque to a small stone cross, which had been previously erected by society members George and Lorraine Hunter.

paragraph: Florence Claxton

paragraph: Florence Ann Claxton (26 August 1838 – 3 May 1920), later Farrington, was an English artist and humorist, most notable for her satire on the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Claxton also wrote and illustrated many humorous commentaries on contemporary life.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Claxton was named after the city of her birth, Florence, Italy, where she was born on 26 August 1838 to painter Marshall Claxton and his wife, Sophia ("née" Hargrave); she was baptised 2 January 1839 at St Alfege Church, Greenwich. She had a younger sister, Adelaide, born three years later.

paragraph: Struggling as a painter, Marshall Claxton emigrated with his family in 1850 to Australia, where his brother-in-law Richard Hargrave had established himself as a settler in New South Wales. Other family members emigrated as well, including Lawrence Hargrave, who became an aeronautical pioneer. Claxton's arrival in Sydney was celebrated in the newspapers, but he once again struggled to find the fame he desired. The family moved on yet again in 1854, this time to India. After a three-year stay, the family returned to England via Ceylon and Egypt. The experience of international travel proved to be formulative to the sisters as artists, "both expanding the geographic scope of their subject matter and equipping them with something of an outsider's perspective on Victorian society."

paragraph: The Claxton sisters were returned to England She was just about 20 years old when she signed an 1859 petition asking the Royal Academy of Arts to open its doors to women. Her father trained Florence and her sister in his craft; Florence travelled with her father to Australia, India, and Egypt in the years from 1850 to 1857, while he searched for employment. In the later 1850s both sisters found work in the production of engravings for the popular press. In 1860, Florence illustrated "Married Off: A Satirical Poem", by "H. B."

paragraph: In 1858, Florence exhibited her painting "Scenes from the Life of a Female Artist" in the second annual show of the Society of Women Artists. In the following year, 1859, she signed a petition advocating the admission of women to the Royal Academy Schools, and exhibited her "Scenes of Life of an Old Maid" in the Society of Women Artists show.

paragraph: In 1864, the sisters were apparently sharing a home together in London, but their paths separated. On 1 June 1868, Florence married Ernest Farrington, a French photographer and engineer, in Paris. Little is known of their married life, but Florence claimed to have lived in Monaco for some years. There were no children from the marriage and she was widowed likely by 1881, when she was back living alone with her father in London.

paragraph: Florence did not remarry and was later estranged from her sister. She continued to work as an illustrator and artist. However, on 3 May 1920, at her home, Grafton House in Sandown, Isle of Wight, she died by suicide by taking a fatal overdose of veronal "in a carefully planned suicide."

paragraph: Section::::"The Choice of Paris".

paragraph: Claxton's best-known work is "The Choice of Paris: An Idyll" (c. 1860), a satire on, and parody of, the works of the Pre-Raphaelite artists of the previous years. The painting is patterned after William Holman Hunt's "A Converted British Family sheltering a Christian Missionary from the persecution of the Druids", and combines caricatures of many of the main figures of the movement, including John Ruskin and Sir John Everett Millais, with figures of popular culture like P. T. Barnum, and allusions to the great artists of the past. It depicts Millais in the role of Paris, offering the golden apple to a scrawny-looking medieval woman, ignoring a Raphael madonna (copied from "The Marriage of the Virgin") and a modern woman in crinolines. The painting also includes parodies of other Pre-Raphaelite works, including Millais' "Sir Isumbras at the Ford", "Spring: Apple Blossoms" and "The Vale of Rest". It also caricatures Calderon's "Broken Vows" and Windus's "Burd Helen". The picture was reproduced as a full-page engraving by the "Illustrated London News".

paragraph: Section::::Other works.

paragraph: Other examples of Claxton's works were also reproduced in newspapers of the day. In "Utopian Christmas", reproduced in the "Illustrated London News" of 24 December 1859, the poor - barefooted and raggedly-dressed - are shown feasting at a lavish banquet and being served and entertained by the rich - depicted as generals, nobles, and finely-dressed ladies.

paragraph: Other works by Claxton include "Women's Work: A Medley" (1861) and "Scenes from the Life of a Governess" (1863). "Women's Work" may have been a feminist riposte to Ford Madox Brown's painting "Work", which focused on men's labors but neglected women.

paragraph: Florence Claxton married a "Mr. Farrington, of Romsey," in 1868, but continued to work and exhibit at least sporadically afterward.

paragraph: Claxton also wrote humorous skits on feminism and women's rights, most notably in "The Adventures of a Woman in Search of her Rights", a story in cartoon form. In the book, a young woman falls in love with a dashing youth, but her parents do not approve and her lover leaves. She decides to pursue her rights. She loses her looks through the study of John Stuart Mill and; now made ugly, she pursues various careers, becoming a lawyer, a politician and a doctor, but eventually fails in all of her pursuits. She finally emigrates to the United States and marries Brigham Young, the polygamous Mormon leader. In the end, it turns out to have been all a dream and she ends with the words "thank goodness it's only a midsummer night's dream and I'm not emancipated".
