paragraph: Bertran del Pojet

paragraph: Bertran del Pojet (fl. 1222) was a Provençal castellan and troubadour of the latter half of the thirteenth century, a period of Angevin rule in Provence and Italy.

paragraph: He was born in Puget, near Nice, and lived most of his life in Teunes, the region around Toulon. He first appears in documents in September 1222. His "vida" records that he was a valiant and generous knight and a skilled soldier. His "cansos" and "sirventes" were well-esteemed. Only two works of his survive, a "sirventes" and a "tenso". Nonetheless, they were well-known.

paragraph: Bertran's "tenso" with an anonymous trobairitz, "Bona dompna, d'una re quieus deman", has been translated into English by Frank Chambers and Carol Jane Nappholz. Both his poems were first edited and published (in Italian) by C. de Lollis under the title "Bertran del Pojet, trovatore dell' età angioina" in "Miscellanea in onore di Arturo Graf" (Bergamo, 1903).

paragraph: Herbert Sandberg

paragraph: Herbert Sandberg (April 18, 1908 – March 18, 1991) was a German artist and caricaturist. He was best known for his caricatures in the satirical magazine, "Ulenspiegel", which he co-founded and art directed. He is also well known for his drawings of Bertolt Brecht and for his column, "Der freche Zeichenstift" in the magazine, "Das Magazin". A member of the Communist Party, a Jew, and a German Resistance fighter, Sandberg spent 10 years in a Nazi prison and in Buchenwald concentration camp. He conceived the idea for "Ulenspiegel" while a prisoner there and began working on it almost immediately on liberation.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Sandberg was born in Posen. He studied art in Breslau, first at the Kunstgewerbeschule from 1925 to 1926 and then with Otto Mueller at the state Akademie für Kunst und Kunstgewerbe. He began working as a newspaper artist in Berlin in 1928, working at the "Berliner Tageblatt" and the "Wahre Jacob" among others, until 1933. In 1929, he joined the Association of Revolutionary Visual Artists. Because of his activities with the Communist Party of Germany, which had been banned after the Nazis seized power, and because of his active opposition to the Nazis, Sandberg was arrested and in 1934, charged with "preparing to commit high treason" and sentenced to a term in Brandenburg-Görden Prison. From 1938 until the end of World War II, Sandberg, as a Jew and Communist, was imprisoned in Buchenwald concentration camp. While at Buchenwald, he met Emil Carlebach, who was Sandberg's last Blockältester there. Eighteen drawings, made in 1944 with soot and whiting and smuggled out of the camp, were later published in a group of works from 1944–1946, called "A Friendship".

paragraph: After the war, Sandberg and Günther Weisenborn became the co-publishers of "Ulenspiegel", a satirical journal that was published from December 1945 till August 1950, first under license by the American military government, then from 1948, by the Soviet military administration, until the magazine's license was rescinded. In 1947, Sandberg began designing stage sets with his wife, Eugenie Sandberg (1923–1996), who was trained as scenic and costume designer. Calling themselves the "Sandbergkollektiv", they worked for Berlin theaters until 1961. In the beginning, his sister-in-law, Rosemarie Spies, a ceramicist, worked with them. In 1954, Sandberg became the chief editor at the magazine, "Bildende Kunst", staying there until 1957, after which he worked freelance in Berlin. In 1970, he began teaching as a guest docent at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig and was named a professor there in 1972. Sandberg was a member of the Akademie der Künste in East Germany.

paragraph: Sandberg created satirical columns which were well read. From 1954–1990, Sandberg had a column called "'Der freche Zeichenstift" ("The Cheeky Sketching Pencil") in "Das Magazin", where he drew caricatures of the nationally and internationally known. Also beginning in 1954, he began a series called "Mit spitzer Feder" in the Sunday edition of the newspaper, "Neues Deutschland" and in 1967, he began a series of portraits in the Neue Berliner Illustrierte", called "Sandbergs kleine Galerie".

paragraph: In 1988, speaking about the meaning of art in the concentration camp, Sandberg said, "Without the memory of their work (Hogarth's, Goya's, Kollwitz', Grosz' and Masereel's), I would not have had the strength to withstand the difficult imprisonment."

paragraph: Sandberg's second marriage was to actress Lilo Grahn (1943–2007), lasting from 1981 until his death. His friend, artist Ronald Paris, gave the eulogy and the sculpture on his gravestone is by sculptor Ingeborg Hunzinger.

paragraph: Section::::Awards and recognition.

paragraph: Sandberg received numerous awards and honors in his lifetime and has been recognized since, as well.

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1958 Medal for Fighters against Fascism 1933 to 1945

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1966 Johannes R. Becher Prize, gold

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1983 National Prize of the GDR, First Class, for Art and Literature

paragraph: There were a number of articles and exhibits in honor of the 100th anniversary of Sandberg's birth. Also in April 2008, an aquatint etching by Sandberg was chosen as the "Image of the Month" at the Buchenwald Memorial. The etching, done in 1964 and in the art collection of the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorial, is called "Das haben wir nicht gewusst" ("We didn't know") and depicts himself as a survivor, showing local residents the pile of bodies and ashes next to the crematorium. The Germans are well fed and well dressed and they look horrified, but profess their ignorance as to what was taking place in their midst for over a decade.

paragraph: Halina Korn

paragraph: Halina Korn, actual name: Halina Julia Korngold (22 January 1902, in Warsaw – 2 October 1978, in London) – Polish painter, sculptor and writer of Jewish origin. She was the wife of Marek Żuławski.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Her father, Julian, was a representative of foreign companies selling leather goods. Her mother, coming from petite bourgeoisie, was brought up in a tiny provincial town in France, near Lyon.

paragraph: Before the war, she finished journalistic studies in the School of Political Sciences in Warsaw. At the same time she was taking singing lessons from Adela Comte-Wilgocka and Stanisława Korwin-Szymanowska. In August 1939 she left for France, where she was found by World War II. In Paris, she received a typist job in the Ministry of Social Services at the Polish government, with which she then moved to Angers. After the fall of France in May 1940, she came to Great Britain where she stayed till the end of her life. It was ca 1941 when she started painting and sculpting (she signed her works: Korn). In January 1948, she had her first individual exhibition entitled „Paintings of London Life" in London’s Mayor Gallery. In the fifties of the 20th century, she was writing exhibition reviews and texts about art for the BBC radio station. In 1965, due to an intensifying mental illness (bipolar disorder), she underwent neurological surgery after which she stopped creating. She is the author of "Wakacje kończą się we wrześniu" ("Holidays end in September"), published in 1983, with a preface by Stefan Themerson.

paragraph: It was everyday life, watched and caught on London streets, and human being (she neither understood or liked abstraction) that became the subject of her works from the beginning. She was painting the world that was surrounding her as well as people: women at a mechanical laundry, a boy with a chunk of meat, mannequins in a shop window, coalmen, men and women on escalator and in a coffee shop.

paragraph: She depicted scenes from a park, psychology office, funeral, circus as well as striptease bar. Maternity was a common motif appearing in her works, particularly in sculpture. Halina Korn’s creativity, difficult to be classified, is included in a trend of naive art. It was, among others, Ignacy Witz, Feliks Topolski and Aleksander Jackowski in his encyclopaedic outline entitled "Sztuka zwana naiwną" (The art called naive) that wrote about that. Quite a few critics emphasized her infallible intuition for composition and form as well as extraordinary colour sensitivity.

paragraph: She had a few individual exhibitions in London, Edinburgh and New York, including a series of exhibitions in Poland (Warsaw, Cracow, Gdynia, Katowice). In England, she exhibited with the London Group, in Royal Academy, Women’s International Art Club. She was the member of Artists’ International Association (AIA) and the member creator of Arts Society of Paddington. Halina Korn’s works are in the National Museum in Warsaw and Poznań, University Museum in Toruń, London’s Ben Uri Gallery among others and in numerous private collections, including The Anthony Petullo Collection of Self-Taught and Outsider Art.

paragraph: She was buried in London’s Kensal Green Cemetery on 6 October 1978.

paragraph: C. F. A. Voysey

paragraph: Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (28 May 1857 – 12 February 1941) was an English architect and furniture and textile designer. Voysey's early work was as a designer of wallpapers, fabrics and furnishings in a simple Arts and Crafts style, but he is renowned as the architect of several country houses.

paragraph: He was one of the first people to understand and appreciate the significance of industrial design. He has been considered one of the pioneers of Modern Architecture, a notion which he rejected. His English domestic architecture draws heavily on vernacular rather than academic tradition, influenced by the ideas of Herbert Tudor Buckland (1869–1951) and Augustus Pugin (1812–1852).

paragraph: The Sanderson wallpaper factory (1901) in Chiswick, which he designed, is named Voysey House in his memory.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Born at Kingston College, at Hessle, Yorkshire on 28 May 1857, he was the eldest son of Rev. Charles Voysey, a Church of England priest who was deprived of his living in 1871 for his heterodox views. The family moved to London where his father founded the Theistic Church. Voysey was educated by his father, then briefly at Dulwich College.

paragraph: In 1874 Voysey was articled for five years to the architect J. P. Seddon, with whom he subsequently remained a further year as chief assistant. From Seddon Voysey learnt the 'Gothic' principles of design first propounded by A. W. N. Pugin: elevations should grow naturally out of the requirements of the plan and only 'honest' construction should be used. Seddon and Voysey both believed in following these principles of design without slavishly copying Gothic styles. But, however freely Seddon interpreted the Gothic styles, his work remained discernibly Gothic, whereas Voysey’s mature work eliminated all trace of period styles. Voysey followed Seddon in believing, like Pugin, that it was the business of an architect to make designs not only for buildings but also for the allied crafts.

paragraph: In 1879 Voysey spent a brief period as assistant to the architect Henry Saxon Snell (1830–1904), and from 1880 to 1881 he worked as an assistant in the office of George Devey, who was a follower of his father's Theistic Church. There he gained valuable site experience, and would have encountered Devey's skill as a watercolourist and his considerable knowledge of English vernacular architecture. In 1881 or early 1882 Voysey set up his own practice in London.

paragraph: Section::::Design.

paragraph: Voysey's designs in the field of applied art included furniture, wallpapers, fabrics, carpets, tiles, metalwork, ceramics and graphic design. Sometimes he designed artefacts specially for his own buildings, and sometimes he sold designs to manufacturers for wider use.

paragraph: Voysey's development as a furniture designer corresponded to his development as an architect, and by c.1895 he had evolved a definitive personal style. His furniture conformed, with a few exceptions, to this style until 1910, when he began to introduce greater elaboration, including Gothic motifs, into his designs. The simple elegance of Voysey's furniture from the period 1895–1910 was achieved by relying on the innate beauty of high quality materials, especially unpolished oak, and by eschewing complicated decoration in favour of a careful balance of the vertical and horizontal elements in a design.

paragraph: The vertical elements were often emphasised by tapering the vertical supports from a square to an octagonal section and by carrying corner supports up above the functionally necessary height; the horizontal elements were often emphasised by simply moulded cornices, by circular caps on the tops of corner supports (a motif borrowed from Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo) and by long strap-hinges made of unpolished bronze.

paragraph: Voysey was a distinguished designer of flat patterns for wallpapers, fabrics, carpets and tiles. It was Mackmurdo who first introduced him to the techniques of wallpaper design, and some of Voysey's early pattern designs incorporated more restrained versions of the swirling motifs beloved by Mackmurdo and the Century guild of artists. Voysey sold his first wallpaper design in 1883; by the late 1880s his reputation as a wallpaper designer was established at home and abroad, and he was still selling pattern designs in 1930. His career as a pattern designer was thus longer and more prolific than his career as an architect. But it was also complementary to his architectural career, because selling patterns supplemented his income in the lean years of his architectural practice, before c. 1895 and after c. 1910.

paragraph: Many of Voysey's pattern designs rely for their effect on rhythmically contrasted shapes consisting of areas of flat, clear colour, usually bounded by dark or pale outlines. This is in the tradition of oriental design praised by Victorian reformers of design, such as Owen Jones and Matthew Digby Wyatt. In Voysey's work stylised natural forms, especially plants and birds, often represent the positive shapes, and areas of background form the contrasting negative shapes. This skilful juxtaposition can also be seen in his handling of the solids and voids in his designs for two-dimensional metalwork, such as ventilator grilles and hinges. Some of Voysey's pattern designs after c. 1900 consist of motifs placed in comparative isolation against a light ground. The use of scale is arbitrary, giving an effect of naive charm reminiscent of medieval illuminations and tapestries. The later designs are generally smaller and more delicately coloured than the designs of the 1880s and 1890s.

paragraph: At the suggestion of his friend A. H. Mackmurdo, Voysey began designing wallpapers in 1883 under contract for Jeffrey & Co while waiting for architectural commissions to come in. He joined the Art-Workers' Guild in 1884, and displayed both printed textiles and wallpapers at the inaugural Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society show at the New Gallery in 1888. In 1893 he began designing wallpapers for Essex & Co., for whom he executed several hundred patterns.

paragraph: Distinct stages can be identified in Voysey's wallpaper and textile designs. His earliest works, through the late 1880s, have historically-influenced traditional repeats. By the mid-1890s, he was creating his most characteristic and original designs, flowing patterns in pastel colourways with flattened silhouettes of birds, florals, and hearts. Designs were used for both wallpaper and textiles, which were often executed as wool double cloths for furnishing.

paragraph: Typical patterns of this period include "The Saladin" wallpaper, 1897 and "The Owl" jacquard-woven woollen textile, 1898. From 1910 onwards, his patterns became more narrative, with isolated motifs, and were often meant for the nursery. The "Alice in Wonderland" furnishing fabric, c.1920, is typical of this phase. His last recorded wallpaper commission was dated 1930.

paragraph: In 1896, "The Studio" confirmed Voysey's place in the decorative arts, writing "Now a 'Voysey wall-paper' sounds almost as familiar as a 'Morris chintz' or a 'Liberty silk'." Voysey also designed for Donegal Carpets and many other firms over a fifty-year career in design.

paragraph: Section::::Architectural work.

paragraph: Voysey's first design was for a house at Loughton for Octavius Dixie Deacon. A house was erected on the site, but whether it bore any relation to Voysey's design is not known. By 1894 Voysey had moved his practice to Melina Place, St John's Wood, London, next door to the influential Arts and Crafts architect Edward Schroeder Prior, resulting in the development of a long term friendship and exchange of ideas between the two men.

paragraph: Voysey's architectural practice began slowly, with small alterations and surveys; a number of unexecuted designs from these early years were published and reveal the influence of both Seddon and Devey. In 1888 he obtained his first architectural commission, for The Cottage (addition by Voysey, 1900) at Bishop's Itchington, Warwicks. The Cottage was built of thin, buttressed brickwork, roughcast and painted cream.

paragraph: This form of construction was chosen by Voysey because it was cheap, but in his hands it became an aesthetic end in itself, as he skilfully juxtaposed the solid and void, light and shadow, of the clean-cut forms. Other 19th-century architects, including Devey, had built country cottages in a simple vernacular style with whitened roughcast for estate workers, parsons and schoolmasters. For 1888, The Cottage was unusual not only for being entirely roughcast but also for its simplicity and informality, which were revolutionary in a gentleman's house.

paragraph: Walnut Tree Farm (1890) at Castlemorton, near Malvern, Worcestershire, and a house at Bedford Park (1891), Chiswick, west London, have certain novel features that became characteristic of Voysey's designs. Walnut Tree Farm shows for the first time the lively colouring that was to become typical of his houses: whitened roughcast, bright green exterior woodwork, oversize, bright green water-butts, bright green tubs of bay trees and bright red curtains at the windows. At Bedford Park the innovation consisted in very simplified classical or Queen Anne details, a slate roof and practical metal frames and stone surrounds of the windows.

paragraph: In 1893 Voysey obtained his first commission for a relatively expensive house, Perrycroft, at Colwall, near Malvern. From then until 1910 Voysey received a steady stream of architectural commissions; most were simple, white country or suburban houses with low, spreading lines, for which he became famous. He introduced some mannered, even eccentric, classical detailing into two fairly expensive houses in Surrey, designed in 1897: New Place, near Haslemere, and Norney, near Shackleford. But there was a return to simplicity at Broad Leys and Moorcrag, the lakeside houses near Windermere that he designed in 1898.

paragraph: Between 1900 and 1910 Voysey obtained a series of commissions that gave him the opportunity to design complete houses, including every detail of the interiors, not only fixtures, but also movable furniture, carpets, curtains and wall coverings. The Orchard, Chorleywood, Herts, designed for himself and his wife in 1899, was the first such house. In 1901 came The Pastures at North Luffenham, Rutland; in 1905 Holly Mount, near Beaconsfield, Bucks, and The Homestead at Frinton-on-Sea, Essex.

paragraph: An interior design carried out in London was Garden Corner (1906) on the Chelsea Embankment. In the typical Voysey interior the low ceilings and deep friezes were white; the woodwork was unpolished oak, if possible, or cheaper deal painted white. Colours in furnishings, tiled fireplaces and wall and floor coverings were soft and light, for example delicate greens and heathery purples, with a few bright accents of red and turquoise. There was no clutter in a Voysey interior: furniture was sparse and the use of pattern in wallpapers, carpets and metalwork was sparing.

paragraph: From c. 1910 Voysey’s architectural practice declined, largely because he was out of sympathy with the new fashion for classical forms. He reacted against this by introducing details of Gothic origin into his work. In 1909 he used a pointed arch in the porch of Brooke End at Henley-in-Arden, Warwicks, and in the same year he built a miniature courtyard house in Tudor Gothic style at Combe Down, near Bath. Unexecuted designs of 1914 for larger houses have eccentric courtyard plans, pointed arches, crenellations and towers.

paragraph: Voysey obtained commissions only occasionally for buildings other than country or suburban houses, but when he did he displayed considerable versatility. On the restricted site of his Bedford Park house he abandoned his usual horizontal planning and built a ‘tower house’. The two brick-faced terrace houses (1891) that he built in Hans Road, Knightsbridge, London, display great ingenuity in the arrangement of plan and section. The Sanderson wallpaper factory (1901) in Chiswick is severely functional in form and faced with white-glazed bricks. However, for the fitting out of the offices of the Essex and Suffolk Equitable Insurance Company (designed 1906–9), Capel House, New Broad Street, London, he considered a degree of expensive decoration to be appropriate.

paragraph: Voysey designed every detail of his houses, including the furniture. His houses were inspired by English vernacular sources of the 16th and early 17th centuries, featuring white roughcast walls with horizontal ribbon windows and huge pitched roofs, and used rough plaster, slate and other materials typical of English farmhouses.

paragraph: Examples of his completed architectural works are:

paragraph: Perrycroft, Colwall, Herefordshire 1893;

paragraph: Annesley Lodge, Hampstead, London, 1896;

paragraph: An artist's cottage (14 South Parade), Chiswick, London C.1890;

paragraph: Merlshanger (later Greyfriars), Hog's Back, Puttenham near Guildford, 1896; Norney, Shackleford, 1897;

paragraph: Voysey House (a Sanderson's wallpaper factory, building now offices), Chiswick 1902;

paragraph: The Pastures, North Luffenham, Rutland 1903;

paragraph: The Orchard, Chorleywood, 1900, which he designed for himself;

paragraph: Voysey Garden, Emslie Horniman's Pleasance, North Kensington, 1914 is a public garden designed by Voysey.

paragraph: Voysey designed the Malvern Wells War Memorial in Malvern Wells, Worcestershire. It was unveiled in 1920 and is topped by a sculpture of a pelican.

paragraph: There are several examples of Voysey's design near Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria, with roughcast walls and massive rendered stacks on sweeping slate roofs. Architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner greatly admired the Orchard and identified Broad Leys as Voysey's masterpiece, seeing in them seeds of the modernist movement.

paragraph: In fact, Voysey himself, who was Master of the Art-Workers Guild in 1924, had a strong dislike of modern architecture, and was irritated by Pevsner's identification of his work with the movement.

paragraph: Broad Leys (1898-1900) is now the headquarters of the Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club, and featured in the film "The French Lieutenant's Woman". It is the only Voysey house open for the public to stay in.

paragraph: Voysey died in Winchester in 1941.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Voysey was influenced by the work of William Morris, the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau, and was concerned with form and function rather than ornamental complexities. He felt that "simplicity in decoration is one of the essential qualities without which no true richness is possible" and often worked in a limited colour palette, "emphasizing outline, eliminating shading, and minimizing detail."

paragraph: His furniture designs were simple and functional, and only sparingly decorated. He particularly advocated that wood should be left with its natural finish, contrary to the popular techniques which covered wood with paint and stain. He eschewed the complexities identified with late Victorian design.

paragraph: Many modest houses built in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s were inspired by Voysey's simple vernacular country houses, although Voysey himself built no houses after 1918.

paragraph: The Victoria and Albert Museum has an extensive collection of Voysey's work, including design drawings, fabrics, carpets, and wallpapers. Architects influenced by C. F. Voysey include Jan Kotera who was a leading Czech architect.

paragraph: 2011 saw the formation of The C.F.A. Voysey Society , dedicated to the life and work of Voysey.

paragraph: Saloninus

paragraph: Publius Licinius Cornelius Saloninus Valerianus (c. 242 – 260) was Roman Emperor in 260.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Saloninus was born around the year 242. His father was the later emperor Gallienus, his mother Cornelia Salonina, a Greek from Bithynia. In 258 Saloninus was appointed "Caesar" by his father (just like his older brother Valerian II, who had died around 258) and sent to Gaul to make sure his father's authority was respected there (the title "Caesar" in Imperial nomenclature indicated that the holder was the Crown Prince and first in line of succession after the "Augustus", the title reserved for the ruling Emperor). Like Valerian II, who was made the ward of Ingenuus, governor of the Illyrian provinces, Saloninus was put under the protection of the praetorian prefect Silvanus (otherwise named as Albanus). As Caesar in Gaul Saloninus had his main seat in Cologne.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Bray conjectures that Saloninus's appointment as "Caesar", like that of his elder brother, Valerian II, in Illyria, was made at the instigation of Valerian I who was, simultaneously, the senior Emperor ("Augustus") and grandfather of the two young Caesars and, as head of the Licinius clan, exercised also the "patria potestas" over all members of the Imperial family, including his son Gallienus, his co-Emperor (and co-Augustus). Bray suggests that Valerian's motive in making these appointments was securing the succession and establishing a lasting imperial dynasty. We do not know how Valerian envisaged his grandson interacting with the existing governors and military commanders of the Gallic provinces. There is no reason to suppose that he ever thought the thing through as systematically as Diocletian when he established the Tetrarchy some thirty years later. However, Silvanus must have been a seasoned soldier and administrator, and he does seem to have harboured the notion that, as guardian of Saloninus, he should exercise real authority in Gaul. This was demonstrated by the circumstances in which he fell out with the usurper Postumus.

paragraph: In 260 (probably in July) Silvanus (no doubt in Saloninus's name) ordered Postumus to hand over some booty that Postumus's troops had seized from a German warband which had been on its way home from a successful raid into Gaul. However, Postumus's men took violent exception to this attempt to enforce the rights of the representative of a distant emperor who was manifestly failing in his duty to protect the Gallic provinces. Asserting what was probably the prevailing custom of the frontier, they turned on Saloninus and Silvanus, who had to then flee to Cologne with some loyal troops. It was probably at this time that Postumus was acclaimed emperor by his army. Riding the tiger of military discontent which he could barely control, Postumus then besieged Saloninus and Silvanus in Cologne.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Gallienus, who was fully engaged elsewhere – probably campaigning on the middle Danube – could do nothing to save his son (by this time Saloninus's grandfather, the senior Emperor Valerian, was probably already a captive of the Persian King Shapur I). Saloninus's troops, in their desperation, finally proclaimed him emperor, perhaps hoping that this would induce Postumus's army to desert him and join them in a bid for Empire – i.e., against Valerian and Gallienus. If this was indeed their hope, they were to be disappointed in the event, for Postumus's army pressed on with the siege and, about one month later, the citizens of Colonia Agrippina handed Saloninus and his guardian over to their enemy. Postumus was then unable to prevent his army from murdering them. Despite his public protestations of regret, it seems in fact unlikely that Postumus made a serious effort to resist this course of events.

paragraph: Whether or not Gallienus ever concurred with Valerian's dynastic experiment is not known. Certainly the murder of Saloninus, so soon after the suspicious death of Valerian II, seems to have cured Gallienus of any ambition in this regard. We may assume that Valerian's mother, Salonina, would have been most unhappy: the death of her elder son, Valerian II, in Illyria under the tutelage of Ingenuus must have seemed to her to have confirmed her worst fears of this sort of arrangement. It had certainly proved to be folly to set up inexperienced boys as hostages to fortune and hope that their relationship to the imperial family would quell provincial resentment at the perceived inability of the central government to secure the frontiers from barbarian attack. Throughout the period of his sole reign, Gallienus made no effort to elevate his third son, Egnatius Marinianus, to the purple or associate him in any way with his government of the Empire – although he did allow him to be elected to the largely ceremonial office of Consul in 268.

paragraph: Enrico Cosenz

paragraph: Enrico Cosenz (12 January 1820 – 7 August 1898) was an Italian soldier born at Gaeta.

paragraph: As captain of artillery in the Neapolitan army, he took part in the expedition sent by Ferdinand II against the Austrians in 1848; but after the "coup d'etat" at Naples, he followed General Guglielmo Pepe in disobeying Ferdinand's order for the withdrawal of the troops, and proceeded to Venice to aid in defending that city. As commandant of the fort of Marghera, Cosenz displayed distinguished valor, and after the fall of the fort assumed the defence of the Piazzale, where he was twice wounded.

paragraph: Upon the fall of Venice he fled to Corfu and in France. In 1859, in the wake of the Second Independence War, Cosenz went to Piedmont, where he assumed the command of a Hunters of the Alps (Cacciatori delle Alpi) regiment, fighting in the Battle of Varese.

paragraph: He entered in the Sardinian army, only to exit in order to participate in the Spedizione dei Mille (Expedition of the Thousand), led by Garibaldi, that ultimately freed Sicily from Bourbon rule. In 1860 he conducted the third Garibaldian expedition to Sicily, defeated two Neapolitan brigades at Piale (August 23), and marched victoriously upon Naples, where he was appointed minister of war, and took part in organizing the plebiscite. He then rejoined the Italian Army with the rank of Lieutenant general; during the war of 1866 he was given command of a division, which however saw little combat.

paragraph: After the war he repeatedly declined the portfolio of war. In 1882 he became the first Chief of Staff of the Regio Esercito, and held that position until 1893. He died at Rome in 1898, aged 78.

paragraph: Jim Kern

paragraph: James Lester Kern (born March 15, 1949 in Gladwin, Michigan) is a retired Major League Baseball pitcher. A three time American League All-Star (1977–1979), Kern went 13–5 with a 1.57 ERA and 29 saves out of the Texas Rangers' bullpen in to finish fourth in American League Cy Young Award balloting.

paragraph: Section::::Cleveland Indians.

paragraph: In , Kern signed with the Cleveland Indians out of Midland High School in Midland, Michigan at eighteen years old as a free agent with an overpowering fastball. He played six years in the minor leagues and winter ball seasons in Mexico, then missed the 1969 baseball season serving in the United States Marine Corps. In 1974 in AAA Oklahoma City of the American Association, he won the Allie Reynolds Award as the best pitcher in the league with a 17–7 record, striking our 220 batters in 189 innings and 19 strike outs in a nine inning game. During the 1973 and 1974 minor league seasons Kern was 28–14, striking out a total of 402 batters in 355 innings. He had an even 47–47 record over six seasons as a starting pitcher in the Indians' farm system when he received a September call-up in . In his major league debut, he pitched a complete game in which he held the Baltimore Orioles to just one run. The Indians were, however, held scoreless by Orioles pitcher Mike Cuellar.

paragraph: Kern had a 1.82 ERA as a reliever in when he was moved into the starting rotation. He was 1–2 with a 4.79 ERA as a starter when the Indians traded Gaylord Perry to the Texas Rangers for Jim Bibby, Rick Waits, Jackie Brown and $100,000 on June 13. In order to make room on the major league roster for the two additional pitchers acquired, Kern was optioned to the triple A Oklahoma City 89ers. Recalled in late June, he strained a muscle in his shoulder in July and sat out the remainder of the season.

paragraph: He returned to the Indians in as a full-time reliever, making just two spot starts, and was 10–7 with a 2.37 ERA and fifteen saves. Kern and Dave LaRoche were named as the best relief in Indian history after the 2016 season. Early in the season, the Indians traded closer LaRoche to the California Angels, opening the door for Kern to inherit the job. He was 2–3 with seven saves and a 2.84 ERA in his new job at the All-Star break and was named, along with teammate Dennis Eckersley, to his first All-Star squad, pitching a perfect inning, striking out two. For the season, he finished with a 10–7 record and fourth in the American League with eighteen saves.

paragraph: He was the Indians' sole representative at the game in San Diego. After the season, he and Larvell Blanks were traded to the Texas Rangers for Bobby Bonds and Len Barker.

paragraph: Section::::Texas Rangers.

paragraph: Kern was dominant from the moment he arrived in Texas. He was 10–2 with a 1.48 ERA and sixteen saves at the All-Star break to earn his third consecutive selection to the AL squad. Kern came into the game in the seventh inning with the American League leading 6–5, then gave up an eighth inning home run to the New York Mets' Lee Mazzilli, allowing the National League to tie the score. Mazzilli returned to the plate an inning later with the bases loaded and two outs. AL manager Bob Lemon pulled Kern in favor of New York Yankees ace Ron Guidry. Guidry walked Mazzilli, allowing the winning run to score, and giving Kern the loss.

paragraph: Kern remained hot in the second half, going 3–3 with a 1.72 ERA and thirteen saves. His 29 saves for the season were second only to the Minnesota Twins' Mike Marshall and his 13 wins were the most by a reliever. He was selected "The Sporting News" and Rolaids Relief Man of the Year, as well as being named the right-handed pitcher on "The Sporting News" AL All-Star Team that season. Kern was named the American League pitcher of the month for May 1979 going 4–0 with four saves, striking out 31 in 14 games and posting a 0.61 ERA. He was 4th in the balloting for the Cy Young Award and 11th for the balloting of the Most Valuable Player Award while being named the Texas Ranger Pitcher of the Year. Kern pitched 143 innings over 71 games in 1979, both career highs.

paragraph: Working in the first year of a 5-year contract in 1980, he tried to pitch through a hyper extended elbow sustained in spring training and then a neck injury during the season, going 3–11 with two saves and a 4.83 ERA in 38 games before going on the disabled list for the rest of the season in July.

paragraph: Injuries sustained during the 1980 season limited Kern to just seven innings pitched in the first half of the strike shortened season. However, he returned strong in the second half, going 1–2 with a 2.74 ERA and five saves in seventeen appearances. At the 1981 Winter meetings, he was traded to the New York Mets for Dan Boitano and Doug Flynn, however, before he could make an appearance with his new club, he was packaged with Greg Harris and Alex Treviño, and sent to the Cincinnati Reds for slugger George Foster.

paragraph: Kern holds a number of all-time single season relief records for his 1979 season with the Texas Rangers including most wins out of the bullpen in a season with 13, the most inning pitched with 143 and the most strike outs with 136. He also holds the lowest earned run average in the history of the Texas Rangers for a pitcher with 100 or more innings in a season (1.57 ERA) and the lowest career earned run average for a pitcher with 200 or more innings (2.59 ERA). Kern also owns the second longest consecutive scoreless innings streak in Ranger history with 24 innings. In three All-Star appearances, Kern pitched a total of 4 innings giving up two runs while striking out five.

paragraph: Section::::Journeyman.

paragraph: Kern pitched respectably in Cincinnati, in 1982 going 3–5 with a 2.84 ERA and two saves, however, he was unhappy with the Reds' rule against facial hair, and asked to be traded. The Reds accommodated Kern's wish, and sent him to the Chicago White Sox for two minor leaguers. After finishing out the season in Chicago, Kern made just one appearance in the second game of the season before he was placed on the disabled list after tearing two tendons and a ligament and dislocating his elbow. Kern accused the White Sox of using him improperly by asking him to throw in a game after an injection, causing him to tear two tendons. He was operated on in April and sat the summer out on the disabled list. The White Sox released him in March 1984 while he was still on the disabled list.

paragraph: Decimated by injuries to their pitching staff, the Philadelphia Phillies signed Kern in June while he was rehabing. Facing the Pittsburgh Pirates in extra innings, Kern gave up seven runs (six earned) in just one inning of work to take the loss in his first appearance in 14 months with his new team. He was released on July 27 to make room on the roster for Tug McGraw, who was returning from a shoulder injury. Kern signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers shortly afterwards and was called up that September, appearing in six games without giving up a run.

paragraph: He also appeared in five games with the Brewers early in the season. He pitched three hitless innings in his first game of the season, but pitched poorly afterwards and was released on June 17 with a 6.55 ERA. The highlight of his 1985 season was when he pulled off an unassisted double play against the Seattle Mariners on May 6. He became the first pitcher to pull off this feat since Jim Umbarger in 1975.

paragraph: Kern returned to the Cleveland Indians as a non-roster invitee to Spring training in February . Kern made the opening day roster but on May 12, Kern suffered one of the worst outings of his career against the Texas Rangers. In a little over an inning pitched, Kern gave up eight runs (seven earned) to see his ERA balloon from 3.46 to 7.53. On his way off the field, frustrated Indians fans began throwing garbage on the field, just missing Kern with a bottle. Kern's response was, "I knew they couldn't hit me as they were one of my fans". Kern was released and retired on June 17.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement.

paragraph: Kern is an outdoor enthusiast, and in 1987, he started the Emu Outfitting Company, which was named after his major league nickname, the "Amazing" Emu in Arlington, Texas, an outdoor adventure company that books and operates hunting, fishing, and photographic trips in North and South America. From 1998–2014, he was general manager of the American offices of two peacock bass fishing operations in Brazil's Amazon and general manager of three fishing and hunting lodges in Southwestern Alaska.

paragraph: Kern also did color commentary for college and Major League Baseball games for Fox Sports, Home Sports Entertainment, and Prime Sports. In 1994, he created and hosted "Nolan Ryan's First Spring Turkey Hunt" for Fox Sports.

paragraph: In 2006, Kern was named as one of the greatest Texas Rangers pitchers of all time.

paragraph: In 2013, FanGraphs named Kern as the best relief pitcher in baseball history over a given 4-year period of time in their January 25 article "Jim Kern's Four Incredible Seasons." From 1976–1979, he won 42 games and registered 75 saves out of the bullpen, and he averaged more than 100 innings per year and 1.88 innings pitched per game appearance.

paragraph: He was the eldest son of Konrad III the Old, Duke of Oleśnica, by his wife Judith. The name of Konrad was also wore by his four younger brothers; they were identified by historians only through letters and regnal numbers.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Church career.

paragraph: Despite the fact that he was the oldest son and had a strong possibility of inherited all his father's duchy, Konrad IV chosen to follow a religious career. He grown rapidly in the Church hierarchy. By the end of 1399, he became the Cleric of Wrocław. One year later he postulated to the office of Canon of Wrocław and Provost of Domasław/Domslau, but he failed; however, this not discouraged Konrad IV, who by 1410 was finally chosen Canon of Wrocław and during 1411-1417 held the office of Provost of the Chapter. In 1411 Konrad IV concentrated all his efforts to his election as Bishop of Warmia/Ermland. To this end, he went even made the long journey to Rome, and although the expedition was unsuccessfully, as compensation he received with the master's degree and received a papal notary. In 1412 he was appointed Canon of Olomouc/Olmütz.

paragraph: After the resignation of the Bishop of Wrocław, Duke Wenceslaus II of Legnica in 1417, Pope Martin V appointed him on 17 December 1417 as the new Bishop of Wrocław. Konrad IV was ordained as Bishop on 22 January 1418 at the hands of John Tylemann, sufragent of the Kolegiata of St. Nicholas in Otmuchów.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Beginning of his involvement in politics.

paragraph: Despite his clergy state, Konrad IV also was interested in politics. Already in 1402 he joined to the newly alliance between the Silesian princes. In 1409 he stood with his father at the side of King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia in the conclusion of a truce between Poland and the Teutonic Knights. In 1412 Konrad IV acted as mediator in the conflicts between the Dukes of Opole, King Wenceslaus IV and the city of Wrocław. Finally, in 1416 together with his brothers, he joined the alliance with the Master of the Teutonic Knights, Michael Küchmeister von Sternberg, against Poland.

paragraph: In 1412, after the death of his father, Konrad IV became in Duke of Oleśnica together with his younger brother Konrad V Kantner as co-rulers. In 1416, hoping ascend in his church career, Konrad IV renounced in favor of Konrad V and his other younger brothers the government of almost all the duchy, but maintained the control over the towns of from most areas of the duchy of maintaining control over Kąty (Kanth), Bierutów/Bernstadt, Prudnik and Syców.

paragraph: His years as a ruler over the Diocese of Wrocław and the Duchy of Nysa-Otmuchów coincided with the turbulent period of the Hussite Wars, which largely determined the politics of the Duke-Bishop.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:The Hussite Wars.

paragraph: At the beginning of 1420 Konrad IV, together with the other Silesian princes, reunited in the Silesian Sejm in Wrocław and paid tribute to the Emperor Sigismund and then went with his sovereign to Prague, where the Emperor was crowned as King of Bohemia. The Duke-Bishop's fidelity to the House of Luxembourg was strong, even years later when they lost the German Kingdom and retained only the authority over Silesia. Konrad IV was also is involved in organized a crusade against the reign delinquence over the Silesian lands, who ended with the occupation of Broumov.

paragraph: In 1422 and thanks to his merits the Emperor appointed Konrad IV Governor of Silesia and officially entrusted to him the organization of the fight against the Hussites.

paragraph: In January 1423 Konrad IV, along with other Silesian princes, was present during the negotiations from an eventual alliance between the Emperor Sigismund and the Teutonic Order against King Władysław II of Poland. Under the terms of the agreement, in the event of the defeated of the Polish Kingdom, was guaranteed to the Silesian princes territorial acquisitions. Finally, the treaty wasn't performed because King Władysław II, after a meeting with the Emperor in Kežmarok, obtained his refusal to participate in the alliance. The Bishop followed the example of his sovereign and, in April 1424 he went with his brother Konrad V to Kalisz, where they reestablished his relations with Poland.

paragraph: By 1425 he led a new crusade against the Hussites organized by the Kingdom of Bohemia; however, this also was ended in a disaster.

paragraph: Since 1427 the Hussites engaged in a retaliatory expedition against the lands of Emperor Sigismund's allies; during this trip, they destroyed Lusatia, Złotoryja and Lubań.

paragraph: In order to neutralize the threat of the Hussites, the Silesian princes and some main cities (like Wrocław and Świdnica) asked the Bishop of Wrocław for mutual aid and offered him the leadership of the coalition. The fear of the cities and princes was demonstrated in the following year, when entered to Silesia a Hussite army under the command of Prokop the Great.
