paragraph: George Szatmári

paragraph: George Szatmári de Alsóborsa (; 1457 – 7 April 1524) was a prominent prelate in the Kingdom of Hungary. He was Bishop of Veszprém from 1499 to 1501, of Várad (present-day Oradea in Romania) from 1501 to 1505, of Pécs from 1505 to 1522, and Archbishop of Esztergom from 1522 to his death.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: George Szatmári was born around 1457 into a wealthy burgher family of German origin in Kassa (present-day Košice in Slovakia). He was the youngest (third) son of the merchant Stephen Szatmári and his wife, Anna, who was also from a family of burghers of Kassa. After his father died in 1464, George was placed under the guardianship of his uncle, Francis Szatmári, the richest citizen of Kassa, who was the mayor of the town in 1477. The Szatmáris had dealings with the Thurzós, an influential family of merchants, which facilitated George's career. His family was granted nobility by Matthias Corvinus.

paragraph: George's wealth enabled him to finance his studies. He studied at the University of Kraków from 1477 to 1481. He returned to Hungary as Bachelor of Arts. He knew Filippo Beroaldo, a professor at the University of Bologna, which implies that he also studied at Bologna. Following his uncle's example, he financed the enlargement of the St. Michael chapel in Kassa.

paragraph: He started his career at the Royal Chancellery in the early 1490s. He became a close assistant of the head of the chancellery, Thomas Bakócz. George was made archivist in 1493, and he became one of the two royal secretaries in 1494. He also received prebends (or ecclesiastic benefices). He was canon at the Székesfehérvár Chapter and provost of the St. Nicholas collegiate chapter in the same town in 1495. He was made provost of the Transylvanian Chapter in 1497.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: At the demand of the Diet of Hungary, Vladislaus II of Hungary, take the royal seals from Thomas Bakócz in 1497. Bakócz retained the title of arch-chancellor, but Szatmári took charge of the Royal Chancellery. He became the provost of the Óbuda Chapter in 1498 or 1499. Although he had not been ordained priest, Vladislaus made him bishop of Veszprém and provost of the Budafelhévíz Chapter in 1499. The Holy See confirmed his appointment in April 1500, also authorizing him to postpone his consecration. In 1500, the Diet passed a decree that declared that no one, but Szatmári was entitled to hold more than one ecclesiastic offices in the Kingdom of Hungary.

paragraph: The king assigned him to the bishopric of Várad in 1501. The Holy See confirmed the transfer in February 1502. Vladislaus made Szatmári secret chancellor in 1503. Szatmári and Bakócz were the most influential figures of the government. They closely cooperated to diminish the influence of the Diet on state administration. The wealthy John Zápolya was his chief opponent. The 1505 Diet passed a resolution that prohibited the election of a foreign king after Vladislaus's dead, although Szatmári and his allies had openly opposed the decision. Instead of accepting the resolution, Szatmári promoted a rapprochement between Vladislaus and Maximilian of Habsburg, King of the Romans.

paragraph: After Sigismund Ernuszt, Bishop of Pécs, was murdered by his retainers in summer 1505, Vladislaus assigned Szatmári to the bishopric of Pécs. Pope Julius II confirmed the king's decision on 19 December 1505. After being ordained priest, Szatmári held his first mass in the St. Elisabeth Cathedral in Kassa in autumn 1506. He appointed Martin Atádi, who was the titular Bishop of Augustopolis, his coadjutor bishop.

paragraph: Szatmári set up several building projects in Pécs. A church tabernacle made of red marble was placed in the cathedral; the episcopal palace was enlarged with a Renaissance level and an open staircase; and a new villa was built on the Tettye hill. The chapter house, which was rebuilt during his tenure in Renaissance style, was named "Domus Sakmariana" after him. He held conferences with the participation of prominent Humanist scholars, including Girolamo Balbi (who was a friend of Erasmus of Rotterdam), and Nicholas Oláh. Szatmári sponsored the publication of the poems of Janus Pannonius, who had been the bishop of Pécs from 1459 to 1472. He also financed the release of works by ancient classical authors, such as Cicero.

paragraph: John Zápolya played a preeminent role in crushing the rebellion of the Hungarian peasants in 1514. Taking advantage of his popularity among the noblemen, John Zápolya achieved that Szatmári was dismissed and Gregory Frankopan, Archbishop of Kalocsa, was made chancellor. To reduce Zápolya's influence, Szatmári began to bring about a reconciliation between Vladislaus II, Vladislaus's brother, Sigismund of Poland, and Maximilian of Habsburg. The three monarchs met at Vienna and signed a treaty on 19 July 1515. Vladislaus's son, Louis, married Maximilian's granddaughter, Mary, and Vladislaus's daughter, Anne, was promised to marry to either Maximilian or his grandson, Ferdinand. Taking advantage of his participation at the conference, Szatmári visited the University of Vienna. Benedict Chelidonius dedicated his "Voluptatis cum Virtute disceptatio" ("Debate of Desire and Virtue") to Szatmári.

paragraph: Vladislaus died on 13 March 1516. His son, the ten-year-old Louis succeeded him. His tutors, George, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, and John Bornemissza, Castellan of Buda, were supporters of a pro-Habsburg policy. Gregory Frankopan was dismissed and Szatmári was again made secret chancellor. Ladislaus Szalkai, Bishop of Vác, was also appointed chancellor in 1517, but Szatmári remained the most influential among the three chancellors. Geronimo Balbi, who stayed in Buda, concluded that Szatmári was "the master of all issues" in the kingdom. He could even persuade the Diet to elect his ally, Stephen Báthori, Palatine of Hungary against John Zápolya in 1519.

paragraph: Szatmári succeeded Thomas Bakócz as arch-chancellor in June 1521. He was also made Archbishop of Esztergom in spring 1522. With the support of Maximilian of Habsburg, he tried to achieve his appointment as cardinal and papal legate. He died in Buda on 7 April 1524. He was buried in Esztergom.

paragraph: Nikolai Alexandrovich Chayev (; 8 May 1824 in Kostroma Governorate, Imperial Russia – 16 November 1914 in Petrograd, Imperial Russia) was a Russian writer, poet and playwright.

paragraph: A Moscow University graduate who for several years was the chief supervisor of the Kremlin Armoury, Chayev debuted in 1859, originally as fiction writer. He then turned to drama, choosing the early Russian history as his theme, and had his best-known work produced at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg ("Svat Faddeyich", Сват Фаддеич, 1864; "Dimitry Samozvanets", Димитрий Самозванец, The False Dmitry, 1866), and Maly Theatre in Moscow ("Svekrov", Свекровь, Mother-in-law, 1867; "Znai nashikh", Знай наших, That's Us, 1876). His play "The Tsar and the Great Prince of Russia, Vasily Ivanovich Shuysky" was produced by the Korsh Theatre in 1883 and earned him the Griboyedov Prize of that year. He also authored two novels on the times of Pavel I ("Podspudnye sily", Подспудные силы, Hidden Forces, and "Bogatyri", Богатыри), as well as the poem "Nadya" (Надя).

paragraph: Chayev was a co-founder in 1874 of the Society of Russian Dramatists and Opera Composers (Общество русских драматических писателей и оперных композиторов) and served as its chairman for a while. After Alexander Ostrovsky's death he succeeded him as the head of the Repetroire committee for the Moscow Theatres.

paragraph: Masao Mimatsu

paragraph: Masao Mimatsu (; 9 July 1888 – 8 December 1977) was a Japanese postmaster who recorded the growth of the Shōwa-shinzan mountain in 1944–1945.

paragraph: On 31 December 1943, Shōwa-shinzan began forming from rapid uplifting of a wheat field as a result of a sudden earthquake. This seismic event would eventually change into volcanic activity and result in the eruption of Mount Usu in 1944.

paragraph: Due to the Japanese war effort, basic scientific materials were unavailable. However, Mimatsu, the postmaster of Sobetsu-cho, recorded measurements and drew diagrams of the rising mountain on paper.

paragraph: The story goes that in 1946, in order to study the volcano more thoroughly, he bought up the land using all of his savings and became owner of the volcano.

paragraph: A conflicting story described in "Time" on Monday, 4 July 1949 indicates this purchase to be around 1944, and to have happened as a result of pressure from the villagers of Fukaba.

paragraph: Whatever the reasons, what Mimatsu gleaned from his "pet volcano" would be the basis for much understanding in years to come.

paragraph: Despite his amateur status, when he presented his data and sketches to the World Volcano Conference in Oslo in 1948, his work was praised by professional volcanologists. His papers were referred to as the "Mimatsu Diagram" () and for them he received the First Hokkaido Cultural Award.

paragraph: In 1977, he was able to witness the third eruption of Mt. Usu in his lifetime. However, he died of illness on December 8 of the same year without being able to witness the end of the eruptive event.

paragraph: He is now honoured by a statue at the base of Usuzan, and his work is celebrated in the Mimatsu Masao Memorial Hall near the site of Shōwa-shinzan.

paragraph: Henry Vianden

paragraph: Heinrich Vianden, better known as Henry Vianden (July 9, 1814 – February 5, 1899), was a German American lithographer and engraver. He was nicked "The Bear" by his friends and is often considered as "father of Wisconsin art".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Vianden was born in Poppelsdorf, today a quarter of Bonn. He was the only child of the ceramic painter "Wilhelm Joseph Vianden" (1788–1818) and his wife "Anna Maria", née "Weyh" (1788–1866). When he was five years old, his father died. At the age of 14, Vianden started a goldsmith training and did his studies of arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1838 to 1841. At first he exhibited in Cologne in 1844. Also in 1844, he finished his studies in Antwerpen for one and a half year, where he also worked with Frans-Andries Durlet. In 1845 he returned to Germany, where he lived at "Große Brinkgasse 11" in Cologne. In November 1848 he married "Magdalena Krüppel" (b. 1811), daughter of a physician from Zülpich. They had four children, which all died in their childhood. Together with Magdalena he left Germany in May 1849 and came to New York City on July 4 of the same year. After a short stay, they moved to Wisconsin, where they stood near Burlington for a while, before they settled down in Milwaukee, and applied for US citizenship. His first exhibition in Milwaukee was in December 1849. In May 1950 they moved to a suburb, now part of Milwaukee, where he taught in his open air school near Root Creek. He also taught in his studio at "111 Mason Street", Milwaukee, and at Peter Engelmann's "German-English Academy", today University School of Milwaukee, as well as at the "German, French, and English Academy" of Mathilde Franziska Anneke. Carl von Marr, Robert Koehler, Frank Enders, Robert Schade and Susan Stuart Frackelton were students of him. On June 5, 1860, his wife Magdalena abandoned him and returned to Germany. He applied for divorce on November 1861 and was divorced on February 15, 1862. In 1867 he remarried the German Fredericka Wollenzien (1837–1897). They had no children. At the age of 85 he died near Milwaukee due to a pleurisy. He sold part of his land to the Forest Home Cemetery in his lifetime, and is buried there. His house was demolished in 1922.

paragraph: Robert Lochner (engineer)

paragraph: Robert Lochner MBE (1904–1965) was the inventor of The Bombardon Breakwater, an integral part of the Mulberry Harbour, which helped the successful invasion of the Normandy Beaches in June 1944."

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Before the war, Lochner was a qualified engineer, he worked for 14 years for Crompton Parkinson Ltd in design, production and sales positions, before taking up an appointment as sales manager for Laurence, Scott & Electromotors Ltd, moving to Rats Castle at about the same time.

paragraph: He was also a keen amateur sailor, and proud owner of his own sailing boat, the Odette. Amongst other achievements, he successfully completed the 208-mile RORC race in 1939.

paragraph: Section::::War research.

paragraph: With war imminent, on 30 August 1939, he wrote to Admiral Lawrence volunteering his services as an experienced sailor and successful manager and was commissioned within 18 days. His days at sea came to an abrupt end when he was spotted in his glasses on board ship, and reassigned to research efforts. With the onset of war the admiralty was seriously concerned by Germany’s magnetic mines, which attached to ships’ hulls and sank 15 ships in short order. However, the defusing of a mine dropped by aircraft at Shoeburyness in November allowed a solution to be developed within one week. Lochner was assigned to the research efforts. Together with a team of fellow scientists, he invented the degaussing girdle, a skirt fitted to the hulls of ships, and energised by a special electric current which countered the threat from these mines securing the future of the north Atlantic convoys on which Britain’s war effort depended.

paragraph: In 1944 France was occupied by the Nazis, the Allied Forces hatched a plan to attack the Germans on French soil. D-Day would not have been possible, due to the rough seas if it wasn’t for one major element, the Mulberry Harbour.

paragraph: One of the major challenges facing the D-Day landings was to secure a European port for the delivery of essential supplies, but instead of capturing an existing port, the Allies decided on an audacious plan to build temporary harbours off the coast of Normandy.

paragraph: The big challenge in the rough seas of the English Channel was to create a breakwater to protect the concrete landings from the vicious waves and Robert Lochner was the man chosen by Churchill to lead a group of scientists known as The Wheezers And Dodgers to solve this challenge.

paragraph: The Wheezers And Dodgers, under Lochner's leadership were to play a critical role in winning the war.

paragraph: Section::::Bombardon Breakwater.

paragraph: Recovering from flu at the family home in Haslemere in the spring of 1943, he had an inspiration. While sitting in the bath playing with his hand flannel he noticed that when he made waves on one side of the flannel, on the other side the waters were calm. He jumped out of the bath, dressed and grabbed an old rubber lilo and formed a 'keel' by bending it lengthways and sewing the two sides together. Then, with the help of his wife, Mary Lochner, they made waves on one side with a spade and experimented all day in the family pond until he found that waves only exert their force to a relatively shallow depth, completely revolutionising the approach to the solution.

paragraph: By July 1943 a mathematical theory to support the approach had been evolved and in August 1943 experiments began in Portsmouth. The breakwaters were and , with gigantic airbags divided into three compartments separated by canvas walls proofed with rubber.

paragraph: Later that summer, Lochner and his fellow scientists flew to Canada for the Quebec Conference to report the progress of the harbours to Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. The decision to go ahead was taken and full-scale trials of the floating breakwater started in April 1944. During the trial, an onshore gale produced heavy seas, but Robert's bombardons calmed the waves effectively.

paragraph: Assembling two Mulberry Harbours the day after the landings on 7 June 1944 was one of the most remarkable engineering feats in history.

paragraph: A total of 1,500,000 tons of harbour equipment had to be taken across the channel in an operation involving 150 Allied tugs, and by D-Day 'plus 12', most of Lochner's concrete breakwaters were in position.

paragraph: On 23 July, Churchill visited the harbours and on his return stated: ""This miraculous port has played and will continue to play a most important part in the liberation of Europe"."

paragraph: As a reward for his war efforts for the Mulberry Harbour, he received the remarkable sum of £5,000.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: After the war, Lochner had a third career, qualifying and practicing as a successful patent and trademark barrister. He was due to be appointed as a Queen's Counsel at the time of his death.

paragraph: MAJOR REGINALD R. MYERS

paragraph: UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS

paragraph: for service as set forth in the following CITATION:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Executive Officer of the Third Battalion, First Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on November 29, 1950. Assuming command of a composite unit of Army and Marine service and headquarters elements totalling approximately 250 men, during a critical stage in the vital defense of the strategically important military base at Hagaru-ri, Major Myers immediately initiated a determined and aggressive counterattack against a well-entrenched and clearly concealed enemy force numbering an estimated 4,000. Severely handicapped by a lack of trained personnel and experienced leaders in his valiant efforts to regain maximum ground prior to daylight, he persisted in constantly exposing himself to intense, accurate and sustained hostile fire in order to direct and supervise the employment of his men and to encourage and spur them on in pressing the attack. Inexorably moving forward up the steep, snow-covered slope with his depleted group in the face of apparently insurmountable odds, he concurrently directed artillery and mortar fire with superb skill and, although losing 170 of his men during fourteen hours of raging combat in sub-zero temperatures, continued to reorganize his unit and spearhead the attack which resulted in 600 enemy killed and 500 wounded. By his exceptional and valorous leadership throughout, Major Myers contributed directly to the success of his unit in restoring the perimeter. His resolute spirit of self sacrifice and unfaltering devotion to duty enhance and sustain the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

paragraph: Section::::Controversies.

paragraph: Celâl Şengör is vocal in his support of Turkish military and the 1980 military coup in Turkey. In a very controversial interview published on the website of Radikal newspaper, Şengör argued that the root cause of Turkey's political problems was the lack of an aristocratic class, which would lead the society in cultural life and politics. According to Şengör, Turkish military is the only elite class in society, and their refinement and education make them qualified for rule. Most controversially, he expressed his unqualified approval of every policy of the military regime between 1980 and 1982 in Turkey by asserting that being forced to eat excrement should not be regarded as torture. Şengör later apologized for his remarks and claimed that he was misunderstood. In 2018, owing to this controversy, he was depicted in a popular Turkish rap music video engaging in the very acts that were the basis of his comments.

paragraph: Roger De Coster

paragraph: Roger De Coster (born 28 August 1944) is a Belgian former professional motocross racer and current Motorsport Director of KTM and Husqvarna North America. De Coster's name is almost synonymous with the sport of motocross, winning five Motocross World Championships during the 1970s and tallying a record 36 500cc Grand Prix victories. His stature is such in the sport of motocross that he is often simply referred to as "The Man." De Coster was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999. The motorcycling publication "Cycle News" named him Motocrosser of the Century in 2000.

paragraph: Section::::Motorcycling career.

paragraph: Section::::Motorcycling career.:Early competition.

paragraph: De Coster was born in Uccle, Belgium as the son of a steel mill worker. With four brothers, his family couldn't afford to fund De Coster's motorcycle racing ambitions but, by working six days a week while still going to school, he was finally able to purchase a motorcycle when he was 17-years-old. He began competing on a 50 cc Flandria motorcycle before replacing it with an Itom. After his first racing season, he started to compete in motorcycle trials to fill the winter lull.

paragraph: His main competitor in trials events was future Formula One driver, Jacky Ickx. De Coster lost to Ickx during their first season in the 1963 Belgian 50 cc trials national championship. 1964 would be a break out year for De Coster as he won the 1964 Belgian 500cc Junior Motocross championship and, won a Gold Medal in the 1964 International Six Days Trial. The International Six Days Trial, now known as the International Six Days Enduro, is a form of off-road motorcycle Olympics which is the oldest annual competition sanctioned by the FIM dating back to 1913. He also defeated Ickx for the 1964 Belgian 50 cc trials national championship. His trials experience improved his riding ability in wet, slippery conditions which, would later become an asset during his motocross career.

paragraph: Section::::Motorcycling career.:International racing.

paragraph: He began to work for ČZ motorcycles in their warranty department but, continued to race on his own time. He won the 1966 500cc Belgian Motocross National Championship competing on a ČZ but, his first foray into Grand Prix World Championships that same year was limited due to injuries suffered in a crash. De Coster was impressed by the meticulous bike preparation and efficient riding styles of Swedish riders such as world champion Torsten Hallman, observing how Hallman absorbed jumps with his body so that his motorcycle flew at half the height of his competitors which, allowed the rear tire to begin applying power to the ground sooner. De Coster was known for his smooth, controlled riding style and a commitment to physical training. His training regime gave him the stamina that allowed him to circulate for most of the race in mid-pack before putting in a late charge through the field to victory when other racers had begun to tire.

paragraph: De Coster's performances earned him full sponsorship from the ČZ factory for the 1967 season alongside teammate Joël Robert, who had won the 1964 250cc world championship as a twenty-year-old privateer. In 1968, De Coster won his first overall victory with a win at the 500cc Italian Grand Prix. Despite his success on the race track, De Coster felt neglected by the lack of support from the ČZ factory, even after Robert left the team to join the Suzuki team in 1970. This lack of support led De Coster leave the ČZ team and join Robert on the Suzuki factory racing team in 1971.

paragraph: Section::::Motorcycling career.:Suzuki years.

paragraph: It was with the Suzuki team that De Coster would attain his greatest success. Whereas the ČZ motorcycle was already a proven winner, De Coster made the move to the Suzuki team knowing that he would have to help them develop their first 500cc motocross bike however, he was impressed with their willingness and ability to make requested changes to the motorcycle. De Coster's victory at the season opening Italian Grand Prix gave Suzuki the first ever victory for a Japanese factory in an FIM 500cc motocross Grand Prix. His main competition in 1971 came from Paul Friedrichs riding for ČZ and Bengt Åberg on a Husqvarna and the Maico team of Åke Jonsson and Adolf Weil. Going into the final race of the season, Jonsson held a slight points lead over De Coster. While leading the race, the spark plug on Jonnson's motorcycle came loose, allowing DeCoster to pass him for the victory and the 1971 World Championship.

paragraph: With no weight limits imposed by FIM rules, Suzuki and De Coster were able to develop an extremely lightweight motorcycle which he used to win 6 out of 12 events to win the 1972 FIM Motocross World Championship.

paragraph: De Coster's defense of the 500cc world championship was dealt a setback when, the FIM announced a new motorcycle minimum weight limit of 209 pounds just before the start of the 1973 season. European motorcycle manufacturers competing in the championship complained to the FIM that Suzuki was spending millions of dollars to build lightweight motorcycles that the smaller European manufacturers found impossible to compete with. Suzuki had already developed and built their race bikes so, there was no time to build new motorcycles. As a result, Suzuki resorted to adding ballast to the bikes. Unfortunately, these alterations threw the bikes out of balance and caused them to lose traction.

paragraph: To make matters worse, Maico and Yamaha had developed new rear suspensions with longer travel which helped transfer power to the rear wheel over rough terrain. The Suzuki management felt they were being unjustly treated by the FIM and were slow to react to developments by the other manufacturers. Their frustration at their perceived unfair treatment led to a lapse in support and, Suzuki team riders De Coster and Sylvain Geboers then took matters into their own hands by modifying their motorcycle's frames and developed new rear suspensions.

paragraph: Going into the final race of the season at Sint Anthonis, Holland, Maico's Willy Bauer was holding the championship points lead. The Sint Anthonis track was composed of deep sand which robbed engines of power and increased fuel consumption. A Suzuki engineer calculated that their bike's gas tanks did not have sufficient capacity to finish the race. De Coster then took one of their tanks and drove two and a half hours to have the tank modified to increase its volume. He then drove back in time for the race. Despite having little sleep, De Coster scored two fourth-place finishes while Bauer suffered a mechanical failure handing De Coster his third consecutive 500cc world championship just two points ahead of Bauer.

paragraph: The 1974 FIM Motocross World Championship season would also be decided in the final race of the year however, this time De Coster would lose after a season-long battle against Heikki Mikkola riding for the Husqvarna factory racing team. His Suzuki experienced mechanical failures while leading five races. De Coster came back and regained the World Championship for the 1975 and 1976 seasons.

paragraph: Section::::Motorcycling career.:Later career.

paragraph: By the mid-seventies, he had established himself as the greatest motocrosser of the 20th Century. In 1980, he joined Honda for one final season. He left the sport on top, winning his final world championship race — the 500cc Motocross Grand Prix of Luxembourg at the end of the 1980 season. He was also a four-time winner of the Trans-AMA motocross series, a nine-time Belgian national champion, and was a member of six winning Belgian teams in the Motocross des Nations.

paragraph: Section::::Team management.

paragraph: After his racing career, De Coster moved to the U.S. and remained involved in the sport, becoming the motocross team manager for Honda and Suzuki. In 2011 De Coster became the team manager for the Red Bull KTM team. He has also managed Team USA in the Motocross des Nations. In August 2018, De Coster was promoted to official Motorsport Director of KTM and Husqvarna North America, responsible for all racing efforts of both brands in the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: De Coster was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 1994, becoming only the seventh motorcyclist in the Hall. In 1999, he was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Ingvar

paragraph: Yngvar Harra (or Ingvar) Proto-Norse *"Ingu-Hariz" (d. early 7th century) was the son of Östen and reclaimed the Swedish throne for the House of Yngling after the Swedes had rebelled against Sölvi.

paragraph: Snorri Sturluson relates in his "Ynglinga saga" that King Ingvar, Östen's son, was a great warrior who often spent time patrolling the shores of his kingdom fighting Danes and Estonian vikings ("Víkingr frá Esthland"). King Ingvar finally came to a peace agreement with the Danes and could take care of the Estonian vikings.

paragraph: He consequently started pillaging in Estonia in retribution, and one summer he arrived at a place called Stein (see also Sveigder). The Estonians ("sýslu kind") assembled a great army in the interior and attacked King Ingvar in a great battle. The Estonian forces were too powerful and Ingvar fell and the Swedish forces retreated. Ingvar was buried in a mound at a place called "Stone" or "Hill fort" ("at Steini") on the shores of Estonia ("Aðalsýsla").

paragraph: Snorri then quotes a stanza from Þjóðólfr of Hvinir's "Ynglingatal":

paragraph: The "Historia Norwegiæ" presents a Latin summary of "Ynglingatal", older than Snorri's quotation (continuing after Eysteinn):

paragraph: "Ynglingatal" only mentions the location "Sysla" (area paying tribute), "Historia Norwegiae" only mentions that he died during a campaign on the island "Eycilla", i.e. "Eysysla" (Ösel). In addition to his son Anund (Broutonund), it also adds second son named Sigvard.

paragraph: "Thorsteins saga Víkingssonar" skips Ingvar's generation and makes his father Östen the father of Anund and grandfather of Ingjald. It adds a second son to Östen named Olaf, who was the king of Fjordane in Norway.

paragraph: Christian Mortensen

paragraph: Christian Mortensen (August 16, 1882 – April 25, 1998) was a Danish-American supercentenarian. When he died, his age of 115 years, 252 days was the longest verified lifespan of any male in modern history until 28 December 2012, when Jiroemon Kimura of Japan surpassed this record. Mortensen was the first man confirmed to reach age 115 (in 1997).

paragraph: Mortensen was baptized in Fruering Church on December 26, 1882. Besides his baptismal record, other records include the 1890 and 1901 census enumerations in Denmark, and church confirmation in 1896.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Christian Mortensen was born the son of a tailor in the village of Skårup, near the city of Skanderborg, Denmark, on August 16, 1882. He began work as a tailor's apprentice in Skanderborg at age 16, in 1898, and later took work as a farmhand.

paragraph: Mortensen emigrated to the United States in 1903, then aged about 20 or 21 years old. He traveled while working as a tailor but settled in Chicago where he had relatives. Mortensen worked various trades including as a milkman for Borden's Milk, as a restaurateur, and as a factory worker for the Continental Can Company. He was married for less than ten years, divorced and had no children. He did not remarry.

paragraph: In 1950, Mortensen retired near Galveston Bay, Texas. Then, 28 years later at the age of 96, he moved to a retirement home in San Rafael, California. Mortensen claimed he rode his bicycle to the Aldersly Retirement Community, telling the staff that he was there to stay. Mortensen lived at Aldersly until his death in 1998.

paragraph: Mortensen enjoyed an occasional cigar and insisted that smoking in moderation was not unhealthy. Mortensen preferred a vegetarian diet. He also drank boiled water. Mortensen was legally blind towards the end of his life and spent much of his time in a wheelchair listening to the radio. Toward the end of his life, his memory of distant events was good, but he could not remember recent events and increasingly needed assistance from the Aldersly staff.

paragraph: On his 115th birthday Mortensen gave his advice for a long life: "Friends, a good cigar, drinking lots of good water, no alcohol, staying positive and lots of singing will keep you alive for a long time".
