paragraph: Valdemar II of Denmark

paragraph: Valdemar II (9 May 117028 March 1241), called Valdemar the Victorious or Valdemar the Conqueror ("Valdemar Sejr"), was the King of Denmark from 1202 until his death in 1241. The nickname "Sejr" is a later invention and was not used during the King's own lifetime. "Sejr" means "victory" in Danish.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: He was the second son of King Valdemar I of Denmark and Sophia of Minsk, the daughter of Richeza of Poland, Queen Dowager of Sweden and Volodar Giebovich, Prince of Minsk. When his father died, young Valdemar was only twelve years old. He was named Duke of Southern Jutland (, literally Duchy of Schleswig duke), represented by the regent Bishop Valdemar Knudsen, the illegitimate son of King Canute V of Denmark.

paragraph: Bishop Valdemar was an ambitious man and disguised his own ambitions as young Valdemar's. When Bishop Valdemar was named Prince-Archbishop of Bremen in 1192, his plot to overthrow King Canute VI of Denmark (elder brother of Duke Valdemar) with the help of the German nobility and place himself on Denmark's throne, was revealed.

paragraph: Duke Valdemar realized the threat Bishop Valdemar represented. He thus invited the Archbishop to meet him in Aabenraa in 1192. The Bishop then fled to Swedish Norway to avoid arrest. The following year, Bishop Valdemar organised - supported by the Hohenstaufens - a fleet of 35 ships and harried the coasts of Denmark, claiming the Danish throne for himself based on the fact that he was the son of King Canute V. In 1193, King Canute VI captured him. Bishop Valdemar stayed in captivity in Nordborg (1193–1198) and then in the tower at Søborg Castle on Zealand until 1206. He was later released upon the initiative of Dagmar of Bohemia (the wife of Duke Valdemar) and Pope Innocent III, after swearing to never interfere again in Danish affairs.

paragraph: Young Valdemar faced another threat from Adolph III, Count of Schauenburg and Holstein. The Count tried to stir up other German Counts to take southern Jutland from Denmark, and to assist Bishop Valdemar's plot to take the Danish throne. With the Bishop again in prison, Duke Valdemar went after Count Adolph, and with his own troop levies, he marched south and captured Adolph's new fortress at Rendsburg. He defeated and captured the Count at the Battle of Stellau in 1201, and imprisoned him in a cell next to Bishop Valdemar. Two years later, due to an illness, Count Adolph was able to buy his way out of prison by ceding all of Schleswig, north of the Elbe, to Duke Valdemar. In November 1202, Duke Valdemar's elder brother, King Canute VI, died unexpectedly at the age of 40, leaving no heirs.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Duke Valdemar was subsequently proclaimed king at the Jutland Assembly ("landsting"). The nearby Holy Roman Empire was torn by civil war due to having two rivals contesting for its throne, Otto IV, House of Guelf, and King Philip, House of Hohenstaufen. Valdemar II allied himself with Otto IV against Phillip.

paragraph: In 1203 Valdemar invaded and conquered Lybeck and Holstein, adding them to the territories controlled by Denmark. In 1204 he attempted to influence the outcome of the Norwegian succession by leading a Danish fleet and army to Viken in Norway in support of Erling Steinvegg, the pretender to the Norwegian throne. This resulted in the second Bagler War which lasted until 1208. The question of the Norwegian succession was temporarily settled and the Norwegian king owed allegiance to the king of Denmark.

paragraph: In 1207, a majority of Bremian capitulars again elected Bishop Valdemar as Prince-Archbishop, while a minority, led by the capitular provost Burkhard, Count of Stumpenhausen fled for Hamburg, being the seat of a Bremian subchapter with regional competence and delegating for episcopal elections two participants to the main Bremian chapter. The German King Philip, recognised Valdemar as the legitimate Prince-Archbishop of Bremen, because thus the Prince-Archbishopric would become his ally against Valdemar II.

paragraph: Valdemar II and the fled capitulars protested to Pope Innocent III, who first wanted to research the case. When Bishop Valdemar left Rome for Bremen against Pope Innocent's order to wait his decision, he banished Valdemar by an anathema and in 1208 finally dismissed him as Bishop of Schleswig. In 1208, Burkhard, Count of Stumpenhausen, was elected by the fled capitulars in Hamburg as rival prince-archbishop and Valdemar II, usurping imperial power, invested Burkhard with the regalia - with effect only in the prince-archiepiscopal and diocesan territory north of the Elbe. In 1209 Innocent III finally consented the consecration of Bishop Nicholas I of Schleswig, a close confidant and consultant of King Valdemar, as successor of the deposed Bishop Valdemar. In 1214 King Valdemar appointed Bishop Nicholas I as Chancellor of Denmark, succeeding the late Peder Sunesen, Bishop of Roskilde.

paragraph: In the same year Valdemar II invaded with Danish troops the prince-archiepiscopal territory south of the Elbe and conquered Stade. In August Prince-Archbishop Valdemar reconquered the city only to lose it soon after again to Valdemar II, who now built a bridge of the Elbe and fortified a forward post in Harburg upon Elbe. In 1209 Otto IV persuaded Valdemar II to withdraw into the north of the Elbe, urged Burkhard to resign and expelled Prince-Archbishop Valdemar.

paragraph: In 1210, Innocent III made Gerhard I, Count of Oldenburg-Wildeshausen Bremen's new Prince-Archbishop. In 1211 Duke Bernard III of the younger Duchy of Saxony escorted his brother-in-law Valdemar, the papally dismissed Prince-Archbishop, into the city of Bremen, de facto regaining the See and enjoying the sudden support of Otto IV, who meanwhile fell out with Innocent over Sicily. As a reaction Valdemar II recaptured Stade, while in 1213 Henry V, Count Palatine of the Rhine, conquered it for Prince-Archbishop Valdemar.

paragraph: In 1213 Valdemar instituted a war tax in Norway, and the peasants murdered Valdemar's tax collector at the Trøndelag Assembly and revolted. The uprising spread over several regions in Norway.

paragraph: In 1216, Valdemar II and his Danish troops ravaged the County of Stade and conquered Hamburg. Two years later Valdemar II and Gerhard I allied to expel Henry V and Otto IV from the Prince-Archbishopric. Prince-Archbishop Valdemar finally resigned and entered into a monastery. Valdemar supported Emperor Frederick II and was rewarded with the emperor acknowledging Denmark rule of Schleswig and Holstein, all of the Wendish lands and Pomerania.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.:Battle of Lindanise.

paragraph: The Teutonic Knights, who had been attempting to Christianize the peoples of the eastern Baltic, were (by 1219) being hard pressed and turned to Valdemar for help. Pope Honorius III elevated Valdemar's invasion of Estonia into a crusade. Valdemar raised an army and called all of Denmark's ships to gather to transport the army eastward. Once assembled, the fleet numbered 1500 ships.

paragraph: When the army landed in Estonia, near modern-day Tallinn, the chiefs of the Estonians sat down with the Danes and agreed to acknowledge the Danish king as their overlord. A few of them allowed themselves to be baptized which seemed to be a good sign. Three days later on 15 June 1219 while the Danes were attending mass, thousands of Estonians broke into the Danish camp from all sides. Confusion reigned and things looked bad for Valdemar's crusade. Luckily for him, Vitslav of Rügen gathered his men in a second camp and attacked the Estonians from the rear.

paragraph: During the Battle of Lindanise the legend says that whenever Bishop Sunesen raised his arms the Danes surged forward and when his arms grew tired and he let them fall the Estonians turned the Danes back. Attendants rushed forward to raise his arms once again and the Danes surged forward again. At the height of the battle Bishop Sunsen prayed for a sign and it came in the form of a red cloth with a white cross which drifted down from the sky just as the Danes began to fall back. A voice was heard to say "When this banner is raised on high, you shall be victorious!" The Danes surged forward and won the battle. At the end of the day thousands of Estonians lay dead on the field, and Estonia was added to the Danish realm. Estonians were forcibly baptised as Christians, but according to an in depth study of the Liber Sencus Daniæ by the historian Edgar Sachs, the Estonians quite voluntarily converted to the Christian faith.

paragraph: Valdemar ordered the construction of a great fortress at Reval, near the site of the battle. Eventually a city grew around the hilltop castle which is still called Tallinn, "Danish-castle/town" in the Estonian language. The red banner with a white cross ("Dannebrog") has been the national flag of the Danes since 1219. Dannebrog is Europe's oldest flag design still in modern use.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.:Battle of Bornhöved.

paragraph: In 1223, King Valdemar and his eldest son, prince Valdemar, were abducted by Count Henry I of Schwerin ("Heinrich der Schwarze"), while hunting on the island of Lyø near Funen. Count Henry demanded that Denmark surrender the land conquered in Holstein 20 years ago and become a vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor. Danish envoys refused these terms and Denmark declared war. While Valdemar sat in prison, most of the German territories tore themselves away from Denmark. Danish armies were dispatched to hold them in line. The war ended in defeat of the Danish troops under the command of Albert II of Orlamünde at Mölln in 1225. To secure his release Valdemar had to acknowledge the break away territories in Germany, pay 44,000 silver marks, and sign a promise not to seek revenge on Count Henry.

paragraph: Valdemar immediately appealed to Pope Honorius III to have his oath declared void, a request granted by the Pope. Honorius III excused Valdemar from his forced oath, and he immediately set about trying to restore the German territories. Valdemar concluded a treaty with his nephew Otto I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and headed south to take back what he thought were his lands by right, but his luck deserted him. A series of Danish defeats culminating in the Battle of Bornhöved on 22 July 1227 cemented the loss of Denmark's north German territories. Valdemar himself was saved only by the chivalrous acts of a German knight who carried Valdemar to safety on his horse.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.:Code of Jutland.

paragraph: From that time on, King Valdemar II focused his efforts on domestic affairs. One of the changes he instituted was the feudal system, where he gave properties to men with the understanding that they owed him service in return. This increased the power of the noble families ("højadelen") and gave rise to the lesser nobles ("lavadelen"), who controlled most of Denmark. Free peasants lost the traditional rights and privileges they had enjoyed since the Viking era.

paragraph: King Valdemar II spent the remainder of his life putting together a code of laws for Jutland, Zealand, and Skåne. These codes were used as Denmark's legal code until 1683. This was a significant change from the local law-making at the regional assemblies ("landting"), which had been a long-standing tradition. Several methods of determining guilt or innocence were outlawed, including trial by ordeal and trial by combat. The Code of Jutland ("Jyske Lov") was approved at the meeting of the nobility at Vordingborg Castle in 1241, just prior to Valdemar's death there. Valdemar was buried next to his first wife, Queen Dagmar, at Ringsted in Zealand.

paragraph: Section::::Marriages.

paragraph: Before his first marriage, Valdemar had been betrothed to Rixa of Bavaria, daughter of the Duke of Saxony. When that arrangement failed, he married first Dagmar of Bohemia, also known as Margaret of Bohemia, in 1205. She was the daughter of King Ottokar I of Bohemia by his first wife, Adelaide of Meissen, and soon became popular with the Danes. By this marriage, Valdemar had a son, Valdemar the Young, whom he elevated as co-king at Schleswig in 1218. Valdemar the Young was accidentally shot while hunting at Refsnæs in North Jutland in 1231. Queen Dagmar died in childbirth in 1212. Old folk ballads say that on her death bed, she begged Valdemar to marry Kirsten, the daughter of Karl von Rise, and not the "beautiful flower", Berengaria of Portugal ("Bengerd"). In other words, she predicted Berengaria's sons' fight over the throne would bring trouble to Denmark.

paragraph: After Margaret's death, in order to build good relations with Flanders, Valdemar married Berengária of Portugal in 1214. She was the orphan daughter of King Sancho I of Portugal and Dulce of Aragon, and a sister of Ferdinand, Count of Flanders, with whom she stayed until her marriage. Queen Berengária was beautiful, but so hard-hearted that she was generally hated by the Danes until her early death, in childbirth, in 1221. Valdemar's two wives played a prominent role in Danish ballads and myths - Dagmar as the soft, pious, and popular ideal wife, and Berengária as the beautiful and haughty woman.

paragraph: Section::::Marriages.:Issue.

paragraph: With his first wife, Dagmar of Bohemia, whom he wed in 1205, Valdamar had the following children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Valdemar the Young of Denmark (120928 November 1231), married Eleanor of Portugal.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Stillborn son (1212)

paragraph: With his second wife, Berengaria of Portugal, whom he wed in 1214, he had the following children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Eric IV, King of Denmark (121610 August 1250)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sophie of Denmark (1217–1247), married in 1230 to John I, Margrave of Brandenburg

paragraph: BULLET::::- Christopher I, King of Denmark (121929 May 1259)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Stillborn child (1221)

paragraph: With his mistress, Helena Guttormsdotter (a noblewoman of Swedish birth and wife of an important Danish nobleman), Valdemar also had issue:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Canute of Denmark (died 1260), Duke of Estonia, Lolland, and Blekinge

paragraph: With an unknown mistress:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Niels of Denmark (died 1218), Count of Halland (1216–18).

paragraph: Section::::In memoriam.

paragraph: Valdemar enjoys a central position in Danish history because of his position as "the king of Dannebrog" and as a legislator. To posterity, the civil wars and dissolution that followed his death made him appear to be the last king of a golden age. Since 1912, June 15 has officially been called "Valdemarsdag" ("Valdemar's Day"). The date now belongs to the group of 33 Danish annual "Flag Days" where "Dannebrog" is raised in celebration.

paragraph: The 1997 film "Eye of the Eagle" was about a fictional story about Valdemar the Young. His father Valdemar was played by Lars Lohmann. In the film "" Valdemar was portrayed by actor Mads Mikkelsen.

paragraph: In Estonian capital Tallinn at Toompea located Danish King's garden, marking place where Danish flag "Dannebrog" was born. Every year on 15 June, "Dannebrog" or the "Day of the Danish Flag" is celebrated in the garden.

paragraph: Manuel Luís Osório, Marquis of Erval

paragraph: Manuel Luís Osório, Marquis of Erval (May 10, 1808 – October 4, 1879) was a Brazilian military officer, monarchist and politician. A member of the Imperial Army at the age of fifteen, he climbed all the posts of the military hierarchy of his time thanks to the soldier attributes that consecrated him as "The Legendary". He participated in the main military events of the late nineteenth century and is considered a hero of the War of the Triple Alliance. He is the patron of the Cavalry Branch of the Brazilian Army (1962).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Manuel Luís Osório was born on 10 May 1808, in lands that belonged to the village of Nossa Senhora da Conceição do Arroio (Rio Grande do Sul). Osório was raised on his maternal grandfather's farm. His father, Manuel Luís da Silva Borges, son of the Azorean descendant couple Pedro Luís and Maria Rosa da Silveira, both native of the parish of Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Lagoa, on the island of Santa Catarina, was a distinguished and decorated military man, in the army of Dom Diogo de Sousa, captain-general of the Rio Grande, to fight in the Eastern State (present Uruguay) in the wars of 1811 for the control of the Rio de la Plata, having also fought in the period of 1816 to 1821. His mother, Ana Joaquina Luísa Osório, daughter of Lieutenant Tomás José Luis Osório and Rosa Inacia Joaquina Pereira de Sousa, was a native of Santo Antônio da Patrulha and came from a family that owns land. The land of his parents was located near Lagoa dos Barros, where the "Marechal Osório" Park is today.

paragraph: On 15 October 1835, he married Mrs. Francisca Fagundes, having as godfather Emilio Mallet, who would later fight alongside him in the Campaign of the Triple Alliance. He had four children: Fernando Luís Osório (1848-1896), Adolfo Luís Osório (1847-?), Manuela Luísa Osório (1851-1930) and Francisco Luis Osório (1854-1910).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early career.

paragraph: Fourth son of a humble family of 14 children, he learned to read and write without regular studies. On May 1, 1823, with fifteen incomplete years, he enlisted as a volunteer in the Cavalry of the Legion of São Paulo, current 5th Mechanized Cavalry Regiment, and accompanied his father's regiment in the fight against the Portuguese troops of Brigadier Álvaro Da Costa, stationed in Cisplatina (present - day Uruguay), during the War of Independence of Brazil (1822-1824). He was only 15 years old when he had his baptism of fire on the banks of the Miguelete stream (May 13), near Montevideo, in a battle against Portuguese cavalry. A year later, he was appointed cadet and, later, second lieutenants of the 3rd Regiment of Cavalry of the first line.

paragraph: In 1824, he enrolled in the Military School. He was preparing to pursue military studies when his registration was canceled because of the imminent war in the south of the country. He had to face a new campaign in the Cisplatine War between 1825 and 1828. On October 12, 1825, near the stream Sarandi, under the command of Bento Manuel, Alferes Osorio fought the Lavalleja Orientals to the forehead of his spearmen and stood out Not only because he was the only officer in his squadron to survive the Battle of Sarandí but also to save the life of his commander, who said: "I will give you my spear, Ensign, for he will take you where I have taken you".

paragraph: At the beginning of 1827, Osório continued campaigning in the region of Santana do Livramento. On February 20, 1827, at the Battle of Ituzaingó, his lancers were the only Brazilian troop that was not disrupted during the battle. In October, he was promoted to lieutenant and participated in the peace talks with the detachment of Cisplatina and recognition of Uruguay's independence, following General Lecór. When peace was established, he retired with his regiment to Rio Pardo, where he moved in, consecrating himself to politics by the .

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Ragamuffin and Platine Wars.

paragraph: In 1835, the Ragamuffin War broke out in the province of Rio Grande do Sul, characterized by separatist agitation which, for ten years, threatened the unity of the Empire. Lieutenant Osorio, at the time, served the 2nd Light Cavalry Corps, in the Village of Bagé under the command of Captain Mazzaredo, who left the square and handed it to rags. Osório led his superior to the border and then presented himself to Colonel Bento Manuel Ribeiro.

paragraph: Liberal-minded, Osorio had sympathy for the "Farroupilha" (raggamuffin) cause, initially fighting alongside the rebels, until the proclamation of the Riograndense Republic in 1836, when the movement took a separatist character, which he did not accept, which integrated to the Imperial Brazilian Army, in which it remained until the end of the revolt. He also participated in the fighting against the rebels in Porto Alegre, Caçapava and Erval. He became captain in 1838 and major in 1842. In 1844 he applied for his retirement, but the Army did not want to dismiss him, nominated him lieutenant colonel, commander of the 2nd Line Cavalry Regiment. He aided Caxias in the , which sealed on 25 February 1845. After the Raggamuffin Revolution, the Emperor Pedro II, still very young, had decided to visit the Province with the purpose of consolidating the signed peace. Caxias entrusted to Osorio the delicate mission: ""The 2nd Regiment, reorganized and trained by Osório himself, escorting the Emperor through the campaign, from Vila de Cachoeira to São Gabriel, on the way to and from the"

paragraph: He was elected provincial deputy in the 2nd Legislature of the Provincial Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Sul.""

paragraph: In 1851, as a lieutenant colonel, Manuel Osório was sent once again to Montevideo due to new instability in the region of the river plate, intervening with his regiment against the Argentine President Juan Manuel de Rosas and Uruguayan Manuel Oribe. It was evidenced in the Battle of Monte Caseros, which occurred in the suburbs of Buenos Aires on 3 February 1852, when, at the head of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, in the vanguard of the Brazilian troops, it inflicted on the Argentine dictator the rupture of his defense device and Commands decisive operations to take advantage of success and persecution. Promoted to Colonel on the battlefield, by merit, on 3 March 1852, he served for a few years in Rio Grande do Sul.

paragraph: At the beginning of 1855, after a brief installation in the garrison of the Jaguarão, Osório was appointed to command the border of São Borja. Promoted to brigadier-graduated in December 1856, soon after was commissioned to organize an expedition to discover rich herbs, between the rivers Pindaí and Sebolati, in the Upper Uruguay. Successful in the mission, he later received the nobiliarchic title: Marquis of Herval. Later, he was appointed cavalry inspector of the North of Brazil, where he remained for a short time.

paragraph: He participated, in charge of a division of the army commanded by Marshal João Propício Mena Barreto, of a new intervention in Uruguay to help the colorados of Venancio Flores, allies of Brazil, to assume the power in the Eastern State. The invasion of Uruguay served as a reason for the Paraguayan military intervention in the politics of the river plate.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:War of the Triple Alliance.

paragraph: The aggressions of Solano Lopez to Brazil and to Argentina motivated, in 1865, the Treaty of the Triple Alliance (Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina) against Paraguay. At the outbreak of the War of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870), Osorio was the most prestigious military man in the platine region, having acted uninterruptedly for 42 years in successive campaigns. On 1 March 1865, he received command of the 1st Corps of the Imperial Army, setting up his headquarters in Paysandú. Under the agreement of the Triple Alliance, however, the general command of the operations was handed over to the Argentine general and president Bartolomé Mitre, with whom Osório did not always understand well.

paragraph: On 8 July 1865, he was promoted to Field Marshal and participated in the Siege of Uruguaiana. On 18 September in the presence of Emperor Pedro II, the Count of Eu and several general officers, including Osorio and Caxias, the Uruguayan Surrender takes place.

paragraph: On 2 May 1866, he participated in the Battle of Estero Bellaco, a depression of terrain by which the waters of the Paraná River join the waters of the Paraguay River, where the enemy began to delay the allied troops, seeking a better position to fight. On 24 May 1866, he was present at the Battle of Tuyutí, the largest combat in South America, in which he played an important role in commanding the center of the Brazilian army's military device against the Paraguayan attack. He recorded on the Order of the Day #56: ""Glory is the most precious reward of the brave."" On 15 July 1866, still in Tuyuti, the allies awaited the arrival of the forces of General Count of Porto Alegre, while the enemy whipped daily. Seriously wounded in the battle and dissatisfied with the long period of the parked troop, Osório passed the command of the Brazilian troops to General Polidoro da Fonseca Quintanilha Jordão.

paragraph: From July of this year to July of the following year, he stayed in Rio Grande do Sul, gathering new contingents for the Army. On 1 June 1867, he was promoted to Lieutenant General, second to last in the military hierarchy. On 25 July, Osorio returns to the Allied vanguard, as commander of the 3rd Corps of the Imperial Army. At that time, the Field Marshl Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, then Marquis de Caxias, was the commander of the Brazilian forces in the theater of war. The relationship between them has always been good and cordial since they were longtime friends. Osorio also took part in the planning of operations against the Fortress of Humaitá, which blocked the advance of Allied forces towards Asuncion. In command of his troops, Osório directed the march of Tuiuti to Tuiu-Cuê, advancing against the trenches and strengths that surrounded Humaita and protected against attacks. On 25 July Osório occupies the Fortress of Humaitá and replaces the abandoned flag by the Brazilian flag, installing there the headquarters of the 3rd Army Corps and its new base of operations.

paragraph: With the return of the war of movements after the fall of Humaitá, Osório also participated of the Battle of Ytororó and Battle of Avaí in December 1868. In this last, when taking all the position of enemy artillery, it is shot in the face by an enemy of stunner, breaking the lower left jaw, a wound he hid with a "poncho", continuing to encourage his men to fight, until the hemorrhage forced him to stop. At the time, he said: ""Courage, comrades! Stop this rest!"" In order for his soldiers to assume him in command and not to be discouraged, his empty warship was kept at the head of the troops. Osorio was replaced by General Polidoro da Fonseca and returned to Brazil to recover from the wound, and it was not possible to witness the fall of Asuncion in January 1869. On his coat of arms there are three golden stars representing the wounds suffered on his face during the Bloody Battle of Avaí.

paragraph: On 22 March 1868, Gaston of Orléans, Count of Eu, son-in-law of the Emperor Pedro II, was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the forces in operation in Paraguay. At the invitation of the new commander of the Brazilian forces, Osório, who had been seriously wounded in the combat of Avaí and retired to Rio Grande do Sul, returned to Paraguay, assuming, on June 6, the 1st Army Corps, stationed in Piraju, to start the Mountain Campaign. The Count of Eu, one of his great admirers, would become Osório's ally in the incessant battles for the modernization of the Brazilian Armed Forces throughout the 1870s.

paragraph: On 12 August, there was the assault and capture of the Peribebuí Fortifications, defended by 1,500 men and 15 fire hydrants. On 24 November 1868, Osorio leaves the campaign definitively, forced by the worsening of his health. On his return, on his way to Montevideo, he receives news of the death of his wife.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Later life.

paragraph: Osorio obtained the title of baron in May 1866 and the one of viscount with greatness in 1868. The following year, before ending the war, received the title of Marquess of Herval. In August 1871, Deodoro da Fonseca solemnly presented to Porto Alegre a costly sword of honor, a masterpiece of goldsmithing, carved in gold and adorned with diamonds, paid for by the officers commanded by Osorio in the war. On the steel blade were recorded the battles and battles in which Osorio had participated.

paragraph: After the war, in the first four decades that followed, the victory in the Battle of Tuyutí, considered the most important of the campaign, was the main Brazilian military celebration, and in the commemorations, the main hero was Osorio. Only in the decade of 1920 the military movement rescued the figure of the Duke of Caxias as leader of the Paraguayan War. Although military and influential politician, crossed the decade of 1870, the last decade of its life, under the pressure of debts.

paragraph: With peace, on 11 January 1877, Osorio was nominated by Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil and then regent, as Senator of the Empire for the Province of Rio Grande do Sul, his native land. In a speech in the Senate, he states: ""The uniform does not smother the citizen in the soldier's bosom."" Although a Republican in his youth, he eventually converted to the monarchist creed, becoming one of his most ardent supporters, as he made clear to Baron of Cotejipe on 15 April 1879:

paragraph: ""I am, for a long time, a liberal monarchist, unionist of the Empire of Brazil. Do not think that I am going to the Republic, or to despotism; But I will tell the noble senator that in matters of public service I do not inquire what Brazilians are in politics, but, yes, if they fulfill their duty for the good of the country.""

paragraph: By decree of 2 June 1877, he was granted the rank of Marshal of the Army. With the rise of the Liberal Party to power, Osório was appointed Minister of War in the Sinimbu's cabinet in 1878. He remained in office until his death on 4 October 1879, in Rio de Janeiro, at the age of 71, sick With pneumonia.

paragraph: With his death, followed by other military monarchists loyal to Pedro II, such as Luís Alves de Lima e Silva (Duke of Caxias) and Polidoro da Fonseca Quintanilha Jordão (Viscount of Santa Teresa), opened space for a new generation of military personnel wo were strongly influenced by the caudilloism and insubordinate military of the neighboring countries and who were for the most part indifferent to the monarchy, if not opponents. In spite of having died ten years before the advent of the Republic in Brazil it is possible to know his opinion about the acts of Deodoro da Fonseca and Floriano Peixoto (both veterans of the Paraguayan War) besides having been insubordinate and betrayed the legal government they also became the first two presidents and dictators of the country:

paragraph: ""It would be a wretch who, having fought the external enemy with the weapons of war, would then place those same weapons at the service of despotism, persecution and violence against his countrymen.""

paragraph: The bier with its remains, embalmed, was placed in the chapel of the War Arsenal, now destroyed. On 16 November 1879, his remains were taken to the Asylum of the Invalides of the Homeland, on the Island of Bom Jesus da Coluna, where they remained until the transfer to the Church of Santa Cruz dos Militares, on 3 December 1887. In 21 July 1892, his body was transferred to the crypt built under his equestrian statue, fused with the bronze of cannons taken in the War of the Triple Alliance, in Praça Quinze de Novembro, in Rio de Janeiro. Finally, on 1 December 1993, the solemn transfer of the mortal remains of Marshal Osório began, passing through the Municipalities of Pelotas, Rio Grande and Porto Alegre. On 11 December his body was deposited in the vault near the house where he was born, already inside the historical park created there.

paragraph: Section::::Honors.

paragraph: Throughout his life he was awarded the titles of Baron of Herval (1 May 1866), Viscount of Herval (11 April 1868) and Marquis of Herval (29 December 1869). Conceição do Arroio, the city where he was born, began to be called Osório in 1934, without popular consultation, by order of the Federal Comptroller José Antônio Flores da Cunha. The EE-T1 Osório, a Brazilian tank prototype, was baptized in his honor. His name was inscribed in the Steel Book, at the Pantheon of Liberty and Democracy, in Brasília. In addition, numerous streets, squares and institutions were created or renamed with his name throughout the country.

paragraph: Ernest Martin Jehan

paragraph: Ernest Martin Jehan DSC (2 February 1878 – 7 December 1929) was an officer in the Royal Navy during the First World War. Jehan is best known for the sinking of a German U-boat by he and his crew aboard the smack "Inverlyon". He began the war as a warrant officer and was decorated and commissioned after sinking .

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

paragraph: Born in Forest, Guernsey, on 2 February 1878, Ernest Martin Jehan had worked as a plasterer before joining the Royal Navy on 8 February 1894, when he reached the age of eighteen; he signed up for 12 years service initially. At the age of 18, he was described as being with dark brown hair, brown eyes and a "dark" complexion.

paragraph: Jehan's first posting on 4 February 1894 was to the stone frigate HMS "Impregnable", then based on the former HMS "Howe", where he was rated boy seaman. He was then moved to HMS "Boscawen" (on the former HMS "Trafalgar") on 22 February 1895, then HMS "Victory I" on 10 July 1895 and HMS "Australia" on 12 September 1895, where on turning eighteen he was rated ordinary seaman. He briefly returned to "Victory I" from 6 February before being posted to HMS "Fox" on 14 April 1896. He was rated able seaman on 11 June 1896, when he also began specialist gunnery training.

paragraph: Jehan was posted to HMS "Duke of Wellington I" on 8 July 1899, and was rated leading seaman on 28 October 1899. He then transferred to the naval gunnery school HMS "Excellent" on Whale Island on 5 December 1899, and then briefly to the torpedo school HMS "Vernon" in September 1900, before returning to "Excellent" on 25 November. He was posted to HMS "Duke of Wellington" on 2 December HMS "Raven" on 9 December and back to "Duke of Wellington I" on 26 March 1901. He joined HMS "Eclipse" on 30 May 1901 and was rated petty officer 2nd class on 14 October. He returned "Excellent" 8 April 1903, and was rated petty officer 1st class on 17 June 1904. He briefly went back to "Vernon" on 28 June before returning to "Excellent" on 10 November. He was posted to HMS "Sappho" on 1 December 1904.

paragraph: Jehan was then promoted to acting gunner (a warrant rank) on 11 April 1905. He served as an interpreter during a visit to Portsmouth by the French fleet in August 1905 but failed a preliminary French exam in October that year. His rank was confirmed on 2 April 1906. He was largely employed on training duties in various establishments around Portsmouth until on 11 July 1910, he was appointed to the crew that took the light cruiser to Canada, one of two warships purchased by Canada from the British Admiralty. There he remained aboard the Canadian cruiser at Esquimalt, British Columbia, until ordered back to England in 1913, arriving back on 19 November. On 4 April 1914, just prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Jehan was posted to HMS "Dryad", a torpedo boat converted into a minesweeper. From "Dryad" he was sent to "Inverlyon" as the commanding officer.

paragraph: Section::::Action of 15 August 1915.

paragraph: The Action of 15 August 1915 was a small naval battle involving Ernest Jehan. In 1915, the German Empire had begun its first U-boat campaign of the First World War. U-boats operated all around the British Isles, attacking allied warships and merchant vessels. The allies therefore began conducting counter submarine activities. One of the first counter measures to be taken was the deployment of Q-ships, merchant ships armed with hidden heavy weapons to lure out and destroy German submarines.

paragraph: "Inverlyon", a fishing smack, was one of these vessels. Fitted with a 3-pounder and commanded by Jehan, "Inverlyon" sailed for enemy infested waters. While sailing off the coast of Great Yarmouth on 14 August 1915, Gunner Jehan received news that a merchant ship, the "Bona Fide", of 59 tons, had been stopped by the German submarine and subsequently scuttled with explosives by a boarding party. By the next day Ernest had rushed to the "Bona Fide"'s last known position, at about 20:20 hours, The German sub surfaced near the "Inverlyon". Then from the submarines conning tower came the shouts from a German sailor ordering "Inverlyon"s crew to prepare for boarding. Naturally the Q-ship disregarded the German officer's order. Jehan waited until the submarine came to 30 yards (27m) away when he gave the command to raise the White Ensign and open fire. A series of three rounds from the sailing ship's gun struck the U-boat's conning tower and bridge, disabling the German commander. "UB-4" then drifted behind "Inverlyon", where her gun crew fired another six shots into "UB-4"s hull while others raked the sub with small arms fire. The U-boat then began to take on water from the bow area; the submarine was almost vertical before slipping beneath the waves and getting caught on "Inverlyon"s fishing net. Because the submarine was caught on "Inverlyon"s net, Jehan sent a message home asking if the submarine should be raised and salvaged. The Admiralty replied with a negative response so the net was simply cut, allowing "UB-4" to finish sinking to the bottom. All of the crew and commanding officer, Lt. Karl Gross, were killed. As result of the battle, Ernest Martin Jehan was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross on 19 November 1915, and promoted to lieutenant.

paragraph: Section::::After "Inverlyon"s Cruise.

paragraph: By 1916, Jehan was relieved of the "Inverlyon" and sent to HMS "Sarpedon" as the executive officer. Later he commanded HMS "PC-55" from 1919 to 1920 and retired on 29 October 1920. Jehan died on 7 December 1929 aged fifty-one.

paragraph: Section::::Notes.

paragraph: Due to "Inverlyon"s sinking of "UB-4", Jehan became the first and only commander to sink a modern steel submarine with a sailing vessel. Daniel Herbert Jehan, who was possibly Ernest's twin brother, was also awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions in the war. Ernest's son, Ernest Frederick Jehan, went on to fight in the Second World War.

The guitar has been stolen, broken, abused and was recently restored to former glory. Eelco used a Fender Concert (4x10) or a Marshall 100 watt stack to amplify his guitar. In the 1980s, when Eelco played with the Blues Connection, he usually resorted to playing on his Acoustic Control Corporation Model 165 combo. After departing from the Blues Connection in the early 1990s, Eelco started using both the Koch KC50 and the Koch Multitone amplifiers. Recently he has switched back to Marshalls and now uses a small Marshall Class 5 combo.
