paragraph: Jay North

paragraph: Jay Waverly North (born August 3, 1951) is an American actor. Beginning a career as a child actor at the age of six, he became a household name during the early 1960s for his role as the well-meaning but mischievous Dennis Mitchell on the CBS situation comedy "Dennis the Menace", based on the comic strip created by Hank Ketcham.

paragraph: As a teen, North had roles in two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature films "Zebra in the Kitchen" and "Maya", as well as starring in the NBC television series adaptation of the latter film, also titled "Maya". As an adult, he turned to voice acting work for animated television series, voicing the roles of Prince Turhan in the "Arabian Knights" segment of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour" and a teenaged Bamm-Bamm Rubble on "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show".

paragraph: After leaving show business and disclosing the truth of a troubled childhood as a child actor, North began working with fellow former child star Paul Petersen and the organization A Minor Consideration, using his experiences as a child performer to counsel other children working within the entertainment industry.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: North was born in Hollywood, California, the only child of Jay and Dorothy (née Cotton) North. North's father was an alcoholic, and his parents' marriage was stormy. When he was four, his parents separated, and North never saw his father again. For a short time Jay resided happily in Birmingham, Alabama. Later, as a single mother, Mrs. North went to work as the secretary to the West Coast director of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) to support Jay and herself.

paragraph: From a young age, North was a fan of television, and when he was six, his mother used her connections at AFTRA to arrange for him to appear on his favorite television program, local Los Angeles children's show "Cartoon Express", hosted by "Engineer Bill". This appearance caught the attention of prominent Hollywood talent agent Hazel MacMillan, who, impressed with North's photogenic looks, contacted his mother the following day offering to represent him. Mrs. North, who was aware of the stories of troubled former child stars, had reservations, but eventually gave her approval.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early years.

paragraph: North's first professional acting job was a live appearance on the gameshow "Queen for a Day", hosted by Jack Bailey. He continued to work as a child model and actor in commercials, and landed small parts on a number of popular NBC variety shows of the 1950s, such as "The George Gobel Show", "The Eddie Fisher Show", and "The Milton Berle Show", before auditioning for the role that made him a star.

paragraph: In June 1958, Columbia Pictures' television division was holding a nationwide search for a boy to play the title character in their television adaptation of the popular "Dennis the Menace" comic strip created by Hank Ketcham, and six-year-old North was brought in to audition. After receiving news that his first audition had not gone well, agent Hazel MacMillan pressed the studio to see him again. The studio agreed and was impressed with his second audition. After the studio saw hundreds of boys for the role, North was asked back to screen test with Herbert Anderson, Gloria Henry, and Joseph Kearns. A pilot was filmed later that summer.

paragraph: The summer passed, and North heard nothing more from Screen Gems, but continued to work, appearing in a Christmas-themed episode of the CBS Western series "" entitled "Eight Cent Reward". In the episode, he portrayed Laddie Stone, a young boy who pays bounty hunter Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) eight cents to find Santa Claus. Over the next several months, North made television appearances on such shows as "77 Sunset Strip", "Rescue 8", "Cheyenne", "Bronco", "Colt .45", and "Sugarfoot", and broke into feature films with roles in "The Miracle of the Hills" and "The Big Operator" until, in the spring of 1959, almost a year after he had first auditioned, MacMillan contacted North's mother to tell her that her son had been chosen to play the role of Dennis "The Menace" Mitchell.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Dennis the Menace".

paragraph: "Dennis the Menace" premiered on CBS on Sunday, October 4, 1959, and quickly became a hit with audiences. North was paid $500 per episode, his strawberry red hair was bleached platinum blonde for the role, and the eight-year-old was instructed to "shave" a year off his age when speaking with the press. North's mother continued to work at AFTRA full-time to support the two of them, and hired business managers to invest North's earnings for him. In a 1993 interview with "Filmfax" magazine, North spoke highly of his mother, saying: "I want to make it very clear about one thing. I never supported my mother during ("Dennis the Menace"). She earned her own money from AFTRA. She never lived off my earnings. I know that sometimes happens with child actors, but it was not true in my situation."

paragraph: While Mrs. North worked, her sister Marie Hopper and brother-in-law Hal Hopper served as North's on-set guardians during filming for "Dennis The Menace". In addition to filming the series, North appeared as Dennis in commercials for the show's sponsors, Kellogg's cereals, Best Foods mayonnaise, Skippy peanut butter, and Bosco chocolate milk, and regularly traveled around the country with his aunt and uncle on the weekends to promote the show. These obligations, combined with the required three hours a day of school, took their toll on North, and by the end of the first season, the eight-year-old had begun to feel the pressures of being the lead star of a popular show.

paragraph: In the fall of 1960, the second season of the series was ranked among TV's top 20 shows, and North's portrayal of Dennis had become a beloved pop culture icon. North made crossover guest appearances as Dennis on such television shows as "The Donna Reed Show" and "The Red Skelton Hour," and in the feature film "Pépé". That same year, North recorded "The Misadventures of Dennis the Menace" soundtrack stories on LP, as well as an LP album of songs titled "Jay North - Look who's singing!" With the success of the series, North's guardians, Marie and Hal Hopper, had become strict taskmasters and stern disciplinarians. He was not allowed to socialize with other cast members on the set and missed being around children his own age. His only opportunity to relax was the occasional "free day" when he could play baseball with other children or when his uncle would take him to see horror films. His favorite films at that time were "The Pit and the Pendulum" and "Village of the Damned".

paragraph: By the fall of 1961, the series was in its third season, and North was earning $2,500 an episode. The show remained in the top 20, but North had grown tired and frustrated with the pressures of carrying a hit show and the long work hours. Complicating matters was his relationship with his Aunt Marie. Many years later, North revealed that his aunt physically and verbally abused him when he made mistakes on the set or did not perform to her standards. North's mother, Dorothy, and the rest of the "Dennis The Menace" cast were unaware of the abuse, and North concealed his unhappiness for fear of retribution from his aunt. In July 2007, North's childhood co-star, Jeannie Russell, who portrayed Margaret Wade on the series, told radio host Stu Shostak in a radio interview: "'The show comes first.' This was the ethic that we were raised in. Had I seen any abuse or any horrible upset on Jay's part, I would have noticed. It would have impacted me. It would have upset me terribly."

paragraph: By the fourth season, North was earning $3,500 an episode; but by 1962, the 11-year-old had begun to outgrow the childish antics for which the character was known. This, combined with the unexpected loss of Joseph Kearns near the end of season three, had changed the dynamic of the show. During his interview with "Filmfax", North recalled: "Between the pressures of the business and Joe's dying, I became very serious, very morbid, and very withdrawn from the world. I was the antithesis of the little kid that I played on the television show." By the end of the fourth season, ratings were down, and in the spring of 1963, much to the relief of its young lead star, "Dennis The Menace" was cancelled.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Teen years.

paragraph: In the fall of 1963, North's mother enrolled him in prep school, but due to his part-time education while filming "Dennis The Menace", combined with not having been allowed to socialize with other children, he struggled to keep up with his studies at his new school and was nervous interacting with the other students. North continued to audition, and in 1964, he appeared in an episode of "Wagon Train", but found himself typecast as the impish Dennis Mitchell and had trouble finding steady work. In 1999, North told the E! network, "I had to fight the ghost of Dennis the Menace, and I was typecast. I still had the face, and that's what casting directors, producers and directors saw when I would go in to read for a role."

paragraph: In 1965, he landed the lead role in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer family comedy film "Zebra in the Kitchen" as Chris Carlyle, a boy who, unhappy with the living conditions he finds at his local zoo, decides to set the animals free, causing chaos throughout the town. Over the next year, he continued to appear in small television roles, guest-starring on the MGM TV series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and reuniting with his former "Dennis the Menace" co-star Gale Gordon on "The Lucy Show". In 1966, North landed the starring role in another MGM family adventure film, "Maya". In the movie, which was filmed on location in India, North played Terry Bowen, a boy who navigates the Indian jungle with a Hindu boy and an elephant and her baby calf, the latter, a sacred white elephant. He continued to appear in small guest-starring roles on television shows such as "My Three Sons" and "Jericho", and in 1967, NBC decided to make a television series adaptation of "Maya". North agreed to reprise his role and was soon back filming on location in India.

paragraph: The feature film "Maya" and subsequent television series made North a popular teen idol of the era, featured in numerous teen magazines such as "Tiger Beat", "16 Magazine", "Teen Datebook", and "Flip". While "Maya" proved popular with teen audiences, the NBC series struggled in its time slot against popular shows of the time, CBS's "The Jackie Gleason Show" and ABC's "The Dating Game" and "The Newlywed Game", and was cancelled after one season. Years later, North spoke fondly of his experience on the series, saying, "I can say that I'm really proud of my work on "Maya", from a professional standpoint. I got to play an adult role and it was a challenge." North had missed a full year of school while filming "Maya" in India, and after returning home to Hollywood, began a normal life in high school, graduating from Rexford Senior High School in Beverly Hills in 1969.

paragraph: North narrated the surf film, "The Fantastic Plastic Machine", in 1969

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Adult years.

paragraph: After completing filming on the "Maya" television series, North found work as a voice actor for animated television series, providing the voices of Prince Turhan in the "Arabian Knights" segment of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour", Terry Dexter in "Here Comes the Grump", and a teenaged Bamm-Bamm Rubble on "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show". In 1971, he decided to leave Hollywood and moved to Chicago to perform in dinner theatre, appearing in several stage productions, including principal roles in "Norman, Is That You?" and "Butterflies Are Free". In January 1972, while appearing in "Butterflies Are Free", 20-year-old North met actress Kathleen Brucher, who had a four-year-old son from a previous marriage. After touring with the production for over a year, the two returned to Los Angeles and were married on July 20, 1973, but the marriage lasted less than a year. The young couple separated in April 1974, and on October 21, 1974, their divorce was finalized.

paragraph: In 1974, North appeared in his last starring role in the R-rated coming-of-age suspense thriller "The Teacher", opposite Angel Tompkins. While the film's adult themes were branded "vulgar" and "lurid" by some who still thought of North as the pint-sized "menace" he had played 10 years prior, "Los Angeles Times" critic Kevin Thomas expressed appreciation for North's work in the film, writing,The plot of "The Teacher" isn't worth outlining, yet it develops a relationship between a 28-year-old woman and an 18-year-old high school boy with sensitivity and credibility unusual for an exploitation film. [...] Avedis displays much concern for his people and allows Miss Tompkins and North plenty of room to give fresh, spontaneous performances."

paragraph: Over the next several years, North held onto the hope of being rediscovered by Hollywood and continued to take acting classes, but by early 1977, disillusioned with his career in show business, he left acting and enlisted in the US Navy. In January 1977, he reported to Navy boot camp at NTC Orlando. He was later assigned to the , stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, as a seaman recruit bosun's mate, the Navy's lowest rank. North received good evaluations for his work, but was unprepared for the harsh treatment he received from his shipmates and superiors for being a former child star. Within a year, he wanted out of the Navy. He then began his administrative process and was temporarily assigned on board the destroyer tender stationed in Long Beach California. On August 10, 1979, he left the "Dixie" and the Navy with an honorable discharge and returned to Los Angeles.

paragraph: In 1980, North appeared in a cameo role in the television movie "Scout's Honor", which featured appearances of other former child stars Angela Cartwright from "The Danny Thomas Show", Lauren Chapin from "Father Knows Best", and Paul Petersen from "The Donna Reed Show". In 1982, he landed a week-long stint on the daytime soap "General Hospital", but steady work in show business continued to elude him. Financially secure from real estate investments his mother had made with his earnings from "Dennis The Menace" and frustrated by the direction his career had taken, North retreated from public life for the next several years and found work in the health food industry. In 1984, he optioned the book "Burn Judy, Burn" for $5,000, hoping to play the lead role of executed killer Steven Judy. In his 1999 interview with E!, North spoke of his desire to play darker roles: "I was ready to play very dramatic, scary type characters. I thought maybe if I played some villains and scared the pants off of people, maybe Hollywood might take me seriously." However, the Steven Judy story never made it to the screen.

paragraph: In January 1986, North landed a small role in the Yugoslavian feature film "Dikiy veter" ("Wild Wind"). Later that year, he read for the role of serial killer Ted Bundy in the television miniseries "The Deliberate Stranger", but lost the part to Mark Harmon. Still interested in stories about serial killers, North decided to try his hand at screenwriting. His first script was about a 1984 prison break by six death-row inmates from Virginia's Mecklenburg Correctional Center, but the screenplay was never completed. Throughout the rest of the 1980s, North appeared with other former television stars on news and talk shows such as "Good Morning America", "Donahue", and "Oprah". In October 1988, he acted out his frustrations towards Hollywood in a comedy sketch on an episode of HBO's "Not Necessarily the News", spoofing his role as Dennis the Menace. Dressed in the trademark overalls, striped t-shirt and cowlick, 37-year-old North portrayed an angry adult Dennis, taking revenge on "Hollywood pigs" with a telescopic rifle.

paragraph: Section::::After acting.

paragraph: Section::::After acting.:Hoaxes.

paragraph: On the morning of December 8, 1988, North found himself at the center of a widely reported hoax. His mother Dorothy received the news that North had died in a doctor's office that morning. According to a story from United Press International, his body had been found at 12:35 that morning. The article quoted an alleged doctor, Robert Tobias, whom North had never met. Around this same time, North also dealt with several impostors pretending to be him. One man, who resembled North in his youth, rented limousines and attended Hollywood parties impersonating him. At the time, North told Knight-Ridder news agency, "I'm not on the 'A' party list. I'm not a hot item, so they don't know what I look like. I really haven't worked a lot in a long time."

paragraph: Section::::After acting.:A Minor Consideration.

paragraph: On January 18, 1990, North received a phone call from Paul Petersen telling him that former child star Rusty Hamer from "The Danny Thomas Show" had committed suicide. Hamer's death was a turning point for North when childhood friends Petersen (Jeff Stone on "The Donna Reed Show") and Jeannie Russell (Margaret Wade on "Dennis the Menace"), concerned that North was heading down the same path, stepped in and put him in touch with therapist Dr. Stanley Ziegler, who specialized in helping troubled former child actors. North later credited his friends and therapist as being instrumental in helping him deal with his long-held anger and resentment regarding his unhappy childhood growing up in Hollywood. He later joined Petersen's organization, A Minor Consideration, using his experiences to counsel child stars dealing with the same pressures and difficulties he had faced growing up.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: On March 2, 1991, North married his second wife, Rositia. The couple had met on a blind date and separated only 3 months after their wedding. On April 14, 1992, North met caterer Cindy Hackney at a party after a charity event for pediatric AIDS in Gainesville, Florida. On March 3, 1993, the two were married, and three months later, still financially well-off as a result of his mother's investments of his earnings as a child star, North left Los Angeles and moved to Hackney's hometown of Lake Butler, Florida, becoming stepfather to her three daughters. That same year, with the release of the 1993 feature film "Dennis the Menace", North was sought out by the media looking to find out what had become of the "original" Dennis with whom they had grown up, and this renewed interest prompted him to publicly disclose the abuse he had experienced as a child star.

paragraph: In May 1997, after having come to terms with the physical and emotional abuse he had suffered at the hands of his aunt and uncle, North began attending memorabilia shows to meet with fans. After moving to Florida, he began working as a correctional officer, reportedly working with troubled youth within Florida's juvenile justice system and as of today, continues to work for the Florida Department of Corrections.

paragraph: Since the early 1990s, North has made occasional appearances on talk shows and in documentaries, as well as cameo appearances as "himself" on the animated television series "The Simpsons" and in the comedy feature film "". In 1999, he concluded his E! interview by saying, "I am so happy that I was able to have such a positive impact on people's lives. I'm going to write my autobiography and then I'm just going to live a contented, happy life here in Lake Butler with the people I love, and kind of just vanish into the mists of time."

paragraph: Robert III of Scotland

paragraph: Robert III (c.1337/40 – 4 April 1406), born John Stewart, was King of Scotland from 1390 to his death. He was known primarily as Earl of Carrick before ascending the throne at the age of 53. He was the eldest son of Robert II and Elizabeth Mure and was legitimated with the marriage of his parents in 1347.

paragraph: John joined his father and other magnates in a rebellion against his grand-uncle David II early in 1363 but submitted to him soon afterwards. He was married Anabella Drummond by 1367 and held the earldom of Atholl. In 1368 David created him Earl of Carrick. His father became king in 1371 after the unexpected death of the childless King David. In the succeeding years Carrick was influential in the government of the kingdom but became progressively more impatient at his father's longevity. In 1384 Carrick was appointed the king's lieutenant after having influenced the general council to remove Robert II from direct rule. Carrick's administration saw a renewal of the conflict with England. In 1388 the Scots defeated the English at the Battle of Otterburn where the Scots' commander, James, Earl of Douglas, was killed. By this time Carrick had been badly injured but the loss of his powerful ally, Douglas, saw a turnaround in magnate support in favour of his younger brother Robert, Earl of Fife, and in December 1388 the council transferred the lieutenancy to Fife.

paragraph: In 1390, Robert II died and Carrick ascended the throne as Robert III but without authority to rule directly. Fife continued as lieutenant until February 1393 when power was returned to the king in conjunction with his son David. At a council in 1399 owing to the king's 'sickness of his person', David, now Duke of Rothesay, became lieutenant under the supervision of a special parliamentary group dominated by Fife, now styled Duke of Albany. After this, Robert III withdrew to his lands in the west and for a time played little or no part in affairs of state. He was powerless to interfere when a dispute between Albany and Rothesay arose in 1401, leading to Rothesay's imprisonment and death in March 1402. The general council absolved Albany from blame and reappointed him as lieutenant. The only impediment now remaining to an Albany Stewart monarchy was the king's only surviving son, James, Earl of Carrick. After a clash with Albany's Douglas allies in 1406, the 11-year-old James tried to escape to France. The vessel was intercepted and James became the prisoner of Henry IV of England. Robert III died shortly after learning of his heir's imprisonment.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: John Stewart was born c.1337/40 to Robert, Steward of Scotland and heir presumptive to the throne, and Elizabeth Mure. Robert's mother Marjorie and her half-brother, David II, were the children of the first Bruce king, Robert I. Following his parents' marriage sometime after 22 November 1347 after Pope Clement VI's dispensation, John, his three brothers and six sisters were legitimated. Styled Lord of Kyle, John is first recorded in the 1350s as the commander of a campaign in the lordship of Annandale to re-establish Scottish control over English occupied territory. In 1363, he joined his father along with the earls of Douglas and March in a failed insurrection against Robert's uncle, David II. The reasons for the rebellion were varied. In 1362, David II supported several of his royal favourites in their titles to lands in the Stewart earldom of Monteith and thwarted Stewart claims to the earldom of Fife. The king's involvement and eventual marriage with Margaret Drummond may also have represented a threat in the Steward's own earldom of Strathearn where the Drummonds also had interests, while Douglas and March mistrusted David's intentions towards them. These nobles were also unhappy at the king's squandering of funds provided to him for his ransom, and with the prospect that they could be sent to England as guarantors for the ransom payments. The dissension between the king and the Stewarts looked to have been settled before the end of spring 1367.

paragraph: On 31 May the Steward gave the earldom of Atholl to John, who by this time was already married to Annabella Drummond, the daughter of the queen's deceased brother, Sir John Drummond. David II reinforced the position of John and Annabella by providing them with the earldom of Carrick on 22 June 1368 and the tacit approval of John as the king's probable heir. A Stewart succession was suddenly endangered when David II had his marriage to Margaret annulled in March 1369 leaving the king free to remarry and with the prospect of a Bruce heir.

paragraph: On 22 February 1371 David II (who was preparing to marry the Earl of March's sister, Agnes Dunbar) unexpectedly died, presumably to the relief of both John and his father. Robert was crowned at Scone Abbey on 27 March 1371 and before this date had given John—now styled Steward of Scotland—the ancestral lands surrounding the Firth of Clyde. The manner in which the succession was to take place was first entailed by Robert I when female heirs were excluded and David II attempted unsuccessfully on several occasions to have the council change the succession procedure. Robert II quickly moved to ensure the succession of John when the general council attending his coronation officially named Carrick as heir—in 1373 the Stewart succession was further strengthened when parliament passed entails defining the manner in which each of the king's sons could inherit the crown. After the coronation John Dunbar who had received the lordship of Fife from David II now resigned the title so that the king's second son, Robert, earl of Monteith could receive the earldom of Fife—Dunbar was compensated with the provision of the earldom of Moray.

paragraph: A son, David, the future Duke of Rothesay, was born to Carrick and Annabella on 24 October 1378. In 1381, Carrick was calling himself " 'lieutenant for the marches' " sustained by his connections to border magnates such as his brother-in-law, James Douglas, son of William, Earl of Douglas, whom he succeeded in 1384.

paragraph: Section::::Lieutenancy.

paragraph: Robert II's policy of building up Stewart domination in Scotland through the advancement of his sons saw the emergence of Carrick as the pre-eminent Stewart magnate south of the Forth-Clyde line, just as his younger brother Alexander, Earl of Buchan, Lord of Badenoch and Ross had become in the north. Buchan's use of cateran supporters drew criticism from Northern nobles and prelates and demonstrated Robert II's inability or reluctance to control his son and resulted in him losing council support. The king's failure to take a leading role in prosecuting the war with England and Buchan's abuse of royal power in the north was the backdrop to the general council meeting at Holyrood Abbey in November 1384, where the decision was taken to sideline the king and provide the ruling powers to Carrick.

paragraph: In July 1385, under Carrick's lieutenancy, a Scottish army that included a French force commanded by Admiral Jean de Vienne penetrated into the north of England without any serious gains but provoked a damaging retaliatory attack by Richard II. In 1385, the general council sharply condemned Buchan's behaviour and sat with the intention of maneuvering Carrick into firmly intervening in the north.

paragraph: A series of truces halted any further significant fighting but on 19 April 1388, English envoys sent to Scotland to again extend the ceasefire returned to Richard's court empty-handed—by 29 April Robert II was conducting a council in Edinburgh to authorise renewed conflict with England. Although the Scots army defeated the English at the Battle of Otterburn in Northumberland in August 1388, its leader, the Earl of Douglas, was killed. Douglas died childless, triggering a series of claims on his estate—Carrick backed his brother-in-law Malcolm Drummond, the husband of Douglas's sister, while Carrick's brother Fife took the side of Sir Archibald Douglas, lord of Galloway, who held an entail on his kinsman's estates, and who ultimately succeeded to the earldom. Fife, with his powerful Douglas ally, together with those loyal to the king, ensured at the December 1388 council meeting that the lieutenancy of Scotland would pass from Carrick (who had recently been badly injured from a horse-kick) to Fife.

paragraph: There was general approval of Fife's intention to properly resolve the situation of lawlessness in the north and in particular the activities of Buchan his younger brother. Buchan was stripped of his position of justiciar, which would soon be given to Fife's son, Murdoch Stewart. In January 1390 Robert II was in the north-east perhaps to strengthen the now changed political outlook in the north of the kingdom. He returned to Dundonald Castle in Ayrshire in March where he died on 19 April and was buried at Scone on 25 April.

paragraph: Section::::Kingship.

paragraph: In May 1390 parliament granted John permission to change his regnal name to Robert, probably in part to maintain the link back to Robert I but also to disassociate himself from King John Balliol. The four-month delay in the crowning of Robert III can be seen as a period when Fife and his affinity sought to ensure their future positions, and which also saw Buchan's opportunistic attack on Elgin Cathedral, settling an old score with the Bishop of Moray, and possibly also a protest at Fife's reappointment as the king's lieutenant.

paragraph: Section::::Kingship.:Son's lieutenancy.

paragraph: In 1392, Robert III strengthened the position of his son David, now Earl of Carrick, when he endowed him with a large annuity that allowed the young prince to build up his household and affinity, and then in 1393 regained his right to direct rule when the general council decided that Fife's lieutenancy should end, and that Carrick, now of age, should assist his father. This independence of action was demonstrated in 1395–6, when he responded to Carrick's unauthorised marriage to Elizabeth Dunbar, daughter of George, Earl of March, by ensuring its annulment. The king appears to have also taken over the conduct of foreign affairs, preserving the peace with Richard II and managing to increase the power of the Red Douglas Earl of Angus in the southeast of the country as a counterbalance to Fife's Black Douglas ally. He further showed his authority when in an attempt to reduce inter-clan feuding and lawlessness, he arranged and oversaw a gladiatorial limited combat between the clans of Kay and Quhele (Clan Chattan) in Perth on 28 April 1396. David of Carrick progressively acted independently of his father taking control of the Stewart lands in the south-west, while maintaining his links with the Drummonds of his mother, and all at a time when Fife's influence in central Scotland remained strong.

paragraph: The king was increasingly blamed for the failure to pacify the Gaelic areas in west and north. The general council held in Perth in April 1398 criticised the king's governance, and empowered his brother Robert and his son David—now respectively the Dukes of Albany and Rothesay—to lead an army against Donald, Lord of the Isles, and his brothers. In November 1398, an influential group of magnates and prelates met at Falkland Castle that included Albany, Rothesay, Archibald, Earl of Douglas, Albany's son Murdoch, justiciar North of the Forth along with the bishops Walter of St Andrews and Gilbert of Aberdeen—the outcome of this meeting manifested itself at the council meeting held in January 1399 when the king was forced to surrender power to Rothesay for a period of three years.

paragraph: The kin of the border earls took advantage of the confusion in England after the deposition of Richard II by Henry IV, and harried and forayed into England causing much damage, and taking Wark Castle around 13 October 1399. A far reaching dispute between Rothesay and George Dunbar, Earl of March, occurred when Rothesay, rather than remarrying Elizabeth Dunbar as previously agreed, decided to marry Mary Douglas, daughter of the Earl of Douglas. March, enraged by this, wrote to Henry IV on 18 February 1400, and by July had entered Henry's service. In 1401, Rothesay took on a more assertive and autonomous attitude, circumventing proper procedures, unjustifiably appropriating sums from the customs of the burghs on the east coast, before provoking further animosity when he confiscated the revenues of the temporalities of the vacant bishopric of St Andrews. Rothesay had also in conjunction with his uncle, Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, confronted Albany's influence in central Scotland. As soon his lieutenancy expired in 1402, Rothesay was arrested and imprisoned in Albany's Falkland Castle where he died in March 1402. Rothesay's death probably lay with Albany and Douglas, who would have looked upon the possibility of the young prince acceding to the throne with great apprehension. They certainly fell under suspicion, but were cleared of all blame by a general council, " 'where, by divine providence and not otherwise, it is discerned that he departed from this life.' "

paragraph: Section::::Kingship.:Albany's lieutenancy.

paragraph: Following Rothesay's death, and with the restoration of the lieutenancy to Albany and the Scottish defeat at the battle of Humbleton, Robert III experienced almost total exclusion from political authority and was limited to his lands in the west. By late 1404 Robert, with the aid of his close councillors Henry Sinclair, Earl of Orkney, Sir David Fleming and Henry Wardlaw, had succeeded in re-establishing himself and intervened in favour of Alexander Stewart, the Earl of Buchan's illegitimate son, who was in dispute with Albany over the earldom of Mar. Robert III again exhibited his new resolve when in December 1404 he created a new regality in the Stewartry for his sole remaining son and heir, James, now Earl of Carrick—an act designed to prevent these lands falling into Albany's hands.

paragraph: By 28 October 1405 Robert III had returned to Dundonald Castle in Ayrshire. With the king's health failing, it was decided in the winter of 1405–6 to send the young prince to France out of the reach of Albany. Despite this, the manner of James's flight from Scotland was unplanned. In February 1406, the 11-year-old James together with Orkney and Fleming, at the head of a large group of followers left the safety of Bishop Wardlaw's protection in St Andrews and journeyed through the hostile Douglas territories of east Lothian—an act probably designed to demonstrate James's royal endorsement of his custodians, but also a move by his custodians to further their own interests in the traditional Douglas heartlands. Events went seriously wrong for James and he had to escape to the Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth along with the Earl of Orkney after his escorts were attacked by James Douglas of Balvenie, and which resulted in Sir David Fleming's death. Their confinement on the rock was to last for over a month before a ship from Danzig, en route for France, picked them up. On 22 March 1406 the ship was taken by English pirates off Flamborough Head, who delivered James to King Henry IV of England. Robert III had moved to Rothesay Castle where, after hearing of his son's captivity, he died 4 April 1406, and was buried in Paisley Abbey, which had been founded by the Stewarts.

paragraph: Section::::Family and issue.

paragraph: King Robert III married Anabella Drummond, the daughter of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall and Mary Montifex, daughter of Sir William Montifex, in c.1366/7. They had seven children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay (b. 24 Oct 1378- d. 26 Mar 1402), who was betrothed to Elizabeth Dunbar but later married Lady Marjory Douglas, the daughter of Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas and Joanna de Moravia of Strathearn.

paragraph: BULLET::::- James I Stewart (b. Dec 1394 – d. 21 Feb 1437), King of Scots.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Robert Stewart (died young)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Margaret Stewart (died between 1450 and 1456), married Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas, the son of Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas and Joanna de Moravia of Strathearn.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Egidia Stewart, died unmarried.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Elizabeth Stewart, married James Douglas, 1st Lord Dalkeith, son of Sir James Douglas and Agnes Dunbar.

paragraph: He also had at least two older illegitimate children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- John Stewart of Ardgowan and Blackhall, (b. 1364 - d. 1412) who was an ancestor to the Shaw-Stewart baronets.

paragraph: BULLET::::- James Stewart of Kilbride

paragraph: Section::::Historiography.

paragraph: Abbot Walter Bower reported that Robert III described himself as "the worst of kings and the most miserable of men". Gordon Donaldson in his general history "Scottish Kings" (1967) agrees and writes of the first two Stewart kings "that a famous dynasty, which was to produce so many men of remarkable ability ... made a somewhat pedestrian beginning". He immediately qualifies this statement with "it is true that the sources, both record and narrative, are scanty". He goes further and explains "admittedly, no attempt has yet been made to bring the resources of modern historical research to bear on Robert II and Robert III ... but it is beyond the bounds of probability that even if this is done either of them will emerge as a man who did much positively to shape Scottish history." When Robert III re-established his personal rule in 1393, Donaldson characterises it as a period of anarchy, and of a king who couldn't control his brothers Albany and Buchan, nor his son Rothesay.

paragraph: Ranald Nicholson agrees with Donaldson in his "Scotland: The Later Middle Ages" (1974), and describes Robert III as a failure, like his father, because he wasn't dominant. Nicholson's opinion was that in his period as lieutenant in the 1380s, Robert (John, Earl of Carrick) was incapable of dealing with the breakdown of law and order, citing the number of legal cases. The lameness of Carrick after being kicked by a horse was explained by Nicholson as the excuse needed to have him replaced by his brother Robert, Earl of Fife as the king's lieutenant. Nicholson writes, "nothing much was to be hoped for in the heir apparent", and goes on to blame Robert III for the destruction of Forres and Elgin, despite the lieutenancy of Fife at the time.

paragraph: Andrew Barrell in his book "Medieval Scotland" (2000) puts forward that the first two Stewart kings, "had difficulty in asserting themselves, partly because their dynasty was new to kingship and needed to establish itself". Robert III's period of personal rule from 1393 was "disastrous" according to Barrell, and was exemplified by the king's failure to re-take the royal fortress of Dumbarton. Barrell's final assessment of Robert III was of a man crippled in body and incapable or averse to personally confronting Albany, but sought to do so through promoting the status of his sons, and even then he failed.

paragraph: Alexander Grant in "Independence and Nationhood" (1984) found Robert III to be "probably Scotland's least impressive king". Grant puts this into perspective and writes that it is notable that Robert III's reign could have been worse compared to the turmoil and violence experienced in England and France when ruled by weak kings. Even on Robert's death, Scotland didn't descend into open civil war but was restricted to positioning among the royal family and its magnate groupings. Grant, in "The New Cambridge Medieval History", explains that the 13th century Scottish kings ruled with the endorsement of practically all the political classes but that none of the 14th century kings, from Robert I to Robert III, did so and retained loyalty by the use of patronage. The benefits of this were outweighed by the disadvantages—alienated lands reduced crown income, endowments had the same effect, the estates granted to nobles and church often in regality led to a loss of royal attendance within these territories and contributed to a diminishment of authority.

paragraph: Michael Lynch suggests that the earlier 20th century historians made hasty evaluations of both Robert II and Robert III, when they characterised them as "pathetically weak personalities" and their reigns as "nineteen years of senility and sixteen of infirmity". Lynch also makes the point that the complaints made in the later chronicles of lawlessness and disturbance in the country was mainly confined to the north with the king's brother Alexander, lord of Badenoch and Earl of Buchan at its root. The death of John, lord of the Isles heralded a state of dissension between the lordship and the crown that was to last for two generations and which even Robert III's successor James I was unable to deal with properly. Lynch states that much of the troubles during Robert III's reign derived from the sharp deterioration of the royal revenues. The unruliness of northern Scotland was the result of competing factions within the royal family—Lynch suggests that the weakness in kingship before 1406 "can be exaggerated", citing Buchan's enforced appearance at Robert III's council to answer for his incendiary attack on Elgin and its cathedral, and Albany's obtainment of a submission from the lord of the Isles.

paragraph: In Stephen Boardman's "The Early Stewart Kings", the younger Robert, then John, Earl of Carrick, is shown to be an energetic ambitious man and fully engaged in the running of the country, at the centre of Anglo-Scottish diplomacy, and who became the pre-eminent magnate in Scotland and whose political importance south of the Forth would eclipse that of his father's. Boardman describes how in 1384 he callously engineered the council to remove his father from power and to place it in his hands. Many of the problems of Robert III's rule, Boardman argues, stemmed from the death of his brother-in-law and close ally James, Earl of Douglas at Otterburn in 1388, when his deliberately constructed and powerful affinity south of the Forth crumbled. That same year Carrick lost the lieutenancy to his brother Robert Earl of Fife, that was, Boardman suggests, a blow to the future king's standing and one from which he would not fully recover. According to Boardman, when Robert became king in 1390 he was the victim of his father's style of government characterised by Robert II's creation of his sons, sons-in-law, and other major territorial nobles as powerful magnates to whom he delegated extensive authority. As a result, Robert III's brothers refused to act simply as liegemen to the king. Robert III, already weakened by council when he ascended the throne, was in the end completely subordinated to the magnatial power of Albany and Douglas.

paragraph: Section::::Fictional portrayals.

paragraph: Robert III has been depicted in historical novels. They include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Fair Maid of Perth" (1828) by Walter Scott. The novel covers events from 1396 to 1402, depicting "Scottish Clan feuds" and other disturbances in Robert III's reign. Robert III himself, David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay, and Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany are prominently depicted. Archibald the Grim, Earl of Douglas stands out among the secondary characters.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Lords of Misrule" (1976) by Nigel Tranter. Covers events from c. 1388 to 1390. Depicting the last years of Robert II of Scotland and the rise of Robert III to the throne. As the elderly king has grown "feeble, weary and half-blind", his sons, daughters and other nobles campaign for power. An ungoverned Scotland is ravaged by their conflicts. Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany and Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan are prominently featured.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "A Folly of Princes" (1977) by Nigel Tranter. Covers events from c. 1390 to 1402. Robert III turns out to be a weak king. His son David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay, and brother Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany rival each other for political power in his court. But the struggle attracts the attention of Richard II and Henry IV, leading to English involvement.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Captive Crown" (1977) by Nigel Tranter. Covers events from 1402 to 1411. It depicts the last few years in the reign of Robert III, the captivity of James I of Scotland at the hands of Henry IV and the events back in Scotland. Concluding with the Battle of Harlaw.

paragraph: Felix Hollaender

paragraph: Felix Hollaender (1 November 1867 – 29 May 1931) was a German writer, critic, dramaturge and theatre director. At one point he worked as a stage producer with his friend Max Reinhardt.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Felix Hollaender was born in Leobschütz (as Głubczyce was known before 1945), a small town in the southern part of Lower Silesia where Siegmund Hollaender (1824–1888), his father, worked as a physician. While he was still young his parents moved the family to Berlin where they believed (correctly, as matters turned out) that they would be able to give their sons a better education and future. The family was a musical one. His two older brothers were the conductor Gustav Hollaender (1855–1915) and the composer (1866–1940).

paragraph: He spent his childhood in Berlin, where he attended school and in 1886 passed his Abitur (school final exams). While he was still at school his father, a man of wide cultural interests, successfully inculcated in him a rich knowledge of classical and contemporary literature. It was through his father's social connections that he met the distinguished critic and theatre manager Otto Brahm who became a strong influence. Other friends from his school days were Max Dessoir, and Theodor Wolff.

paragraph: Hollaender studied at Berlin University where his teachers included Wilhelm Dilthey, Friedrich Paulsen, Erich Schmidt and Georg Simmel. He networked effortlessly, joining in the free-ranging discussions in the "Ethics clubs" (""Ethischen Clubs"") in which students tried to create their new world visions. As a student he also cultivated good contacts in literary circles and with literary publications favouring the Naturalist movement.

paragraph: William Ingle

paragraph: William Ingle (1828 - 25 March 1870) was an architectural sculptor in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. He specialised in delicately undercut bas relief and small stand-alone stone sculptures of natural and imaginary flora and fauna on churches and on civic, commercial and domestic buildings. He was apprenticed to his uncle Robert Mawer. After Mawer's death in 1854 he worked in partnership with his aunt Catherine Mawer and his cousin Charles Mawer in the company Mawer and Ingle. Notable works by Ingle exist on Leeds Town Hall, Endcliffe Hall, Sheffield and Moorlands House, Leeds. He sometimes exhibited gentle humour in his ecclesiastical work, such as faces peering through greenery, and mischievous humour on secular buildings, such as comic rabbits and frogs among foliage. He died of tuberculosis at age 41 years, having suffered the disease for two years.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: William Ingle (1828 - 25 March 1870) was the nephew of Robert and Catherine Mawer, and cousin of their son Charles Mawer. He was the eldest son of Robert Ingle (1799 – 2 August 1860), a corn miller at Render Mills, Bishop Thornton, and Elizabeth Ingle nee Mawer (1802 – 18 November 1845), sister of the sculptor Robert Mawer. Robert Ingle and Elizabeth Mawer were married at Ripon Cathedral on 3 October 1825. They were both buried at Bishop Thornton. William Ingle was baptised on 30 June 1828 at Bishop Thornton, North Yorkshire.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Apprenticeship.

paragraph: Assuming the regular pattern of apprenticeship between the ages of 14 and 21 years, Ingle was apprenticed to Robert Mawer between about 1842 and 1849.

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

paragraph: He married Ann Elizabeth Agar (b. 1832 at Kimpton, Yorkshire), daughter of Benjamin Agar, an estate agent, in 1852 at Leeds. In 1851, at age 22, he was living at a lodging house in Leeds, describing himself as a stone and wood carver. By 1861 he and his wife were living at 38 Portland Crescent, Leeds, and William described himself as a sculptor and stone carver in the Census that year. They had four children: Amelia Jane (b.1852), Arthur Robert (1855-1865), Fred (1861-1875), and Ernest (1866-1955), all born in Leeds. Ernest was described in the 1871 Census as "deaf and dumb from birth."

paragraph: Ingle was a member of the Mawer Group, a closely-associated group of architectural sculptors working in Leeds in the 19th century. The group included Robert Mawer, Catherine Mawer, Charles Mawer, Benjamin Payler, Matthew Taylor, and Ingle himself. Unlike the other sculptors in this group, Ingle was never credited by personal name for his work, by contemporary newspapers and other documents; they always referred to the company Mawer and Ingle. He was employed as a sculptor by master sculptor Robert Mawer from about 1849 until Robert Mawer's death in 1854, when Ingle became a master sculptor himself. So long as Ingle was working from the Mawer stoneyard, it produced various carving styles including finely undercut natural vegetation, and natural and comical wildlife and mythical animals. After he died, such natural, realistic elements were no longer produced in the same delicate style, so it is reasonable to suppose that this was Ingle's work. Ingle superintended the stone yard and onsite works under the management of Catherine Mawer after Robert Mawer's death, then became a partner in the firm of Mawer & Ingle.

paragraph: Leeds Civic Trust arranged to unveil two blue plaques At the Henry Moore Institute on 11 July 2019, commemorating the work of Robert Mawer, Catherine Mawer and William Ingle, besides the Mawer Group as a whole. This plaques were to be affixed to Moorlands House, Albion Street, and 30 Park Place, both in Leeds, at a later date.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Death.

paragraph: William Ingle died aged 41 years on 26 March 1870, at 73 Portland Crescent, Leeds. He had had tuberculosis for two years. His mother in law Ann Agar was present at his death.

paragraph: Section::::Blue plaque in Leeds.

paragraph: At the Henry Moore Institute on 11 July 2019, Leeds Civic Trust unveiled two blue plaques in recognition of the Mawer Group. One of them commemorates the work of William Ingle on 30 Park Place, Leeds. It was scheduled to be affixed to the building at a later date.

paragraph: Clodia Pulchra (wife of Octavian)

paragraph: Clodia Pulchra (born 57 BC/56 BC), also known as Claudia, was the daughter of Fulvia by her first husband Publius Clodius Pulcher. She was the stepdaughter of Mark Antony and half-sister of Marcus Antonius Antyllus and Iullus Antonius.

paragraph: Mark Antony was her mother's third husband. As Clodius had done previously, Antony was happy to accept Fulvia's money to boost his career. Following Julius Caesar's assassination on March 15, 44 BC, Antony formed the second triumvirate with Octavian and Lepidus and embarked on a savage proscription. To solidify the political alliance, Fulvia offered Clodia to young Octavian as wife, while Lepidus offered his wife's niece Servilia (daughter of Junia Prima and Publius Servilius Isauricus). Subsequently, Octavian chose Clodia. Not much is known about their marriage and little information survives about Clodia.

paragraph: These actions caused political and social unrest, but when Octavian asked for a divorce from Clodia, Fulvia herself decided to take action. Together with Lucius Antonius, her brother-in-law, she raised eight legions in Italy to fight for Antonius' rights against Octavian, in what became the Perusine War. The army occupied Rome for a short time, but eventually retreated to Perusia (modern Perugia). Octavian besieged Fulvia and Lucius Antonius in the winter of 41-40 BC, starving them into surrender. Fulvia was exiled to Sicyon, where she died of a sudden illness.

paragraph: Octavian divorced Clodia to marry Scribonia, with whom he would have his only child, Julia the Elder. His marriage with Clodia was never consummated: in a letter to her mother he stated that he was returning her in "mint" condition.

paragraph: Clodia Pulchra's subsequent fate is not known.

paragraph: Endre Szervánszky

paragraph: Endre Szervánszky (b. Kistétény, December 27, 1911 - d. Budapest, June 25, 1977) was a Hungarian composer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Szervánszky studied the clarinet at the Budapest Academy of Music (1922–7). He played in various orchestras before returning to the academy to study composition with Albert Siklós (1931–6). He then worked as an orchestrator for the Hungarian Radio and taught musical theory. He was appointed professor of composition at the Budapest Academy in 1948.

paragraph: Szervánszky first came to public attention with his First String Quartet (1936–8) and his works of this period were influenced by his compatriots, Zoltán Kodály and Béla Bartók. Works for this time include the Clarinet Serenade (1950) and the Flute Concerto (1952–3).

paragraph: From the early 1950s Szervánszky embarked on a series of larger compositions, one of the longest being the Concerto for Orchestra in memory of Attila József. Each of the concerto’s five movements is based on a quotation from József. The fourth has folk music elements and the whole demonstrates the influence of Bartók. Both the String Quartet no.2 (1956–7) and the Wind Quintet no.2 (1957) also demonstrate the composer’s increasing interest in serialism.

paragraph: For his Six Orchestra Pieces, composed in 1959, Szervánszky employed 12-note serialism and the piece is particular in its use of percussion. Szervánszky did not compose another major work until 1963 – the oratorio Requiem, based on a text by János Pilinszky which takes the concentration camp of Auschwitz as its theme. Works which followed include the Variations (1964) and the Clarinet Concerto (1965).

paragraph: Endre Szervánszky was given the "Righteous Among the Nations" award by the State of Israel to honour non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews from the Nazis.

paragraph: He is the brother of artist, Jenö Szervánszky, violinist, Peter Szervánszky and the uncle of Valeria Szervánszky.
