paragraph: Slim Love

paragraph: Edward Haughton "Slim" Love (August 1, 1890 – November 30, 1942) was an American professional baseball pitcher from approximately 1910 to 1930. He played six seasons in Major League Baseball for the Washington Senators (1913), New York Yankees (1916–1918), and Detroit Tigers (1919–1920). Over six major league seasons, Love compiled a 28–21 record with a 3.04 earned run average (ERA). He also played in the minor leagues, including stints with the Los Angeles Angels (1914–1915) and Dallas Marines/Steers (1922–1928).

paragraph: Love's nickname was based on his large, lean frame, at and 195 pounds. Upon his debut, Love became the tallest pitcher in major league history, surpassing Hippo Vaughn who stood six feet, four inches. Love remained the tallest pitcher in major league history for 69 years until Stefan Wever made his debut in 1982 at six feet, eight inches.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Love was born in 1890 in Love, Mississippi, located 30 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. He was the son of Columbus "C. C." Love and Mary Homing, and the grandson of Henry Chapel "H. C." Love and Rebecca S. (Houghton) Love.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:Minor leagues.

paragraph: Love began his professional baseball career in 1912 with the Memphis Turtles (later renamed the Chickasaws). According to a 1913 story published by "The Washington Post", Love landed with the Turtles "on account of his bucolic disposition and odd appearance." Love travelled to Memphis and walked into a cafe owned by a friend of Turtles manager Bill Bernhard. Love ordered a drink for himself and invited all of the patrons at the bar to join him. He then boasted that he had come to Memphis from his home in Mississippi "to pitch Memphis into a pennant." The proprietor introduced Love to Bernhard who agreed to give Love a tryout. In his first appearance for Memphis, a spring exhibition game against the Cleveland Indians, Love struck out Nap Lajoie with the bases loaded. Love was then sent by Memphis to the Greenwood, Mississippi club in the Cotton States League. After a short stay in Greenwood, he returned to Memphis and was released.

paragraph: At the start of the 1913 season, Love signed with the Selma Centralites of the Cotton States League. Love appeared in 28 games for Selma, including a no-hitter, and a five-game streak in which he allowed no runs and 19 hits. At the end of July 1913, Love was acquired by the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Association. On August 22, 1913, he pitched a shutout against the Billikens, facing only 22 batters in seven innings—one more than the minimum of 21. The "Atlanta Constitution", referring to Love as "the human office building", noted that Love smiled throughout the game and "mixed his overhand drop with a side-arm slow ball that baffled the best of the Billikens." In eight games for the Crackers, Love compiled a 2-3 record.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:Washington Senators.

paragraph: At the end of the 1913 minor league season, the Washington Senators purchased Love from the Atlanta Crackers. Love made his major league debut for the Senators on September 8, 1913, at age 23. In his debut, Love pitched one inning against the New York Yankees and allowed no hits, no bases on balls, and no runs, and struck out one batter. Love became the tallest pitcher in major league history, surpassing Hippo Vaughn who stood six feet, four inches. Love remained the tallest pitcher in major league history for 69 years until Stefan Wever made his debut in 1982 at six feet, eight inches. He compiled a 1–0 record and 1.62 ERA in five games and 16-2/3 inning pitched.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:Los Angeles Angels.

paragraph: In January 1914, Washington owner Clark Griffith sent Love to the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League on condition that the Senators would have the option to call him back if his work justified it. In 1914, Love compiled a 10–9 record and 2.39 ERA in 37 games for the Angels. At the end of the season, "Sporting Life" reported that Love, referred to as "the human giraffe", "stood second among the twirlers of the Pacific Coast League", and raised questions as to whether Griffith would recall him to the majors in 1915, though Love was not included on the Senators' reserve list.

paragraph: In 1915, Love remained in Los Angeles. In February 1915, "Sporting Life" reported that "the altitudinous twirler" had "at last acquired a curve" and had been "practicing industriously all Winter to master this delivery." The effort paid off, as Love had perhaps the best season of his career in 1915, compiling a 23–15 record and 1.95 ERA in 59 games and 359.1 inning pitched.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:New York Yankees.

paragraph: In September 1915, Love, referred to as "the 'Eiffel tower' slabster of the Los Angeles club", was drafted by the New York Yankees in exchange for $2,300 ($ in current dollar terms). At the time, "Sporting Life" reported that the Yankees had "obtained the tallest pitcher in captivity" at six feet seven and a half inches tall. When Love returned his signed contract to the Yankees, "Sporting Life" opined that his addition "will go a long way toward putting New York on the map" and made mention of his "special ball, known as the aeroplane bomb, as it seems to descend to the batter from somewhere in the celestial region."

paragraph: In 1916, Love appeared in 20 games for the Yankees, all but one as a relief pitcher, and compiled a 2–0 record with a 4.91 ERA. Love also allowed 23 bases on balls in 47.2 innings pitched, creating concerns about his control. At the end of the 1916 season, "Sporting Life" reported on Love's lack of control:

paragraph: Bill Donovan has hopes that Slim Love will win a regular place on the New Yorks' pitching staff next season. Love simply lacks confidence in his own great ability. In batting practice when he puts his stuff on the ball, Love usually has the New York hitters helpless. At such times his control is exceptional. When sent into a game wildness, as a rule, forces him to let up on his stuff, and his batting practice speed and curves are missing.

paragraph: During spring training in Macon, Georgia, before the 1917 season, Yankees manager Bill Donovan opined that control was the only aspect missing from Love's game:

paragraph: If that big fellow ever acquires control he will be as difficult to hit as Rube Waddell was in his best days. No left-hander since Rube's time had such a good fast ball. His curve breaks fast and his great height will add to his effectiveness.

paragraph: Early in the 1917 season, Love saw little playing time. Then, in late May and early June, Love pitched 28 consecutive scoreless innings, allowing only nine hits and five bases on balls, while striking out 11 batters. Love finished the 1917 season with a 6-5 record and 2.35 ERA in 33 games and 133-1/3 innings pitched.

paragraph: Love spent three seasons with the Yankees, compiling a record of 21–17. His best year was 1918 when he had a 13–12 record (including 13 complete games) and was among the American League leaders in multiple pitching categories. During the 1918 season, Love struck out an average of 3.74 batters for every nine innings pitched, the fifth highest average in the American League. His total of 95 strikeouts was seventh best in the league. However, control continued to be a problem, as he led the American League in bases on balls allowed with 116 and was third in hit batsmen with ten. He was also fifth in earned runs allowed with 78.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:Detroit Tigers.

paragraph: On December 18, 1918, the Yankees traded Love to the Boston Red Sox with three other players for Ernie Shore and Duffy Lewis. Love never played a game for the Red Sox, as he was traded with Chick Shorten and Eddie Ainsmith to the Detroit Tigers in January 1919 for Ossie Vitt. He returned his signed contract to the Tigers in February 1919.

paragraph: In March 1919, Love sustained a fracture in his elbow, causing him to miss the early portion of the season. Love returned from the injury and compiled a 6–4 record in 22 games with a 3.01 ERA. On August 24, 1919, Slim allowed Babe Ruth's 42nd career home run in Detroit, in the sixth inning.

paragraph: Love began the 1920 season with the Tigers. However, he appeared in only one game, his final game in the major leagues being played on April 18. In four-and-one-third innings, Love gave up six hits, four bases on balls, and four earned runs and was charged with two wild pitches.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:San Francisco Seals.

paragraph: In May 1920, Love was traded by Detroit to the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League "in exchange for the pick of the Seals." After a month in San Francisco, "The Sporting News" reported that the Seals were dissatisfied with the transaction: "[U]nless he does more than he has shown so far, the Seals have been bunked by Detroit. This big fellow has been here a month, and is not yet in shape. In any other line of business, he would be docked until he could deliver the goods." Love appeared in 44 games for the Seals, compiling a 12–19 record and 2.67 ERA in 290.1 innings pitched.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:Vernon Tigers.

paragraph: Love spent the 1921 season with the Vernon Tigers in the Pacific Coast League. In his first game for Vernon, on April 6, 1921, Love pitched a three-hit shutout against Sacramento. His prospects declined as the season wore on, and he finished the 1921 season with a 5–14 record and 4.55 ERA in 37 games and 182.0 innings pitched. Love remained with Vernon at the start of the 1922 season, appearing in seven games and compiling a 2–2 record and 3.66 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:Dallas Marines/Steers.

paragraph: During the 1922 season, Love was acquired by the Beaumont Exporters of the Texas League. In August 1922, Love and two other players were sold by Beaumont to the Dallas Marines (later renamed the Dallas Steers) in a transaction that was called "the biggest player deal in the history of the Texas League." Love compiled a 13–11 record and 4.06 ERA in 32 Texas League games during the 1922 season.

paragraph: Love remained in Dallas until 1928. In 1926, he won 21 games and recorded 216 strikeouts, as he led Dallas to the Texas League pennant with a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in the Dixie Series. "The Sporting Life" reported at the time:

paragraph: Few pitchers in baseball have more speed than Slim Love. There aren't any with a more wicked cross-fire. There isn't a left-handed hitter in the Texas League that wouldn't tell you that he would give his first pay check in on a pool to buy Love and sell him out of the league. And for the reason that New Orleans is being counted upon to offer a string of left-handed batsmen, Love is expected to be particularly effective in the Dixie Series. He is being counted on for two games and probably three if the series goes the limit.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball player.:1928 to 1930 seasons.

paragraph: On May 31, 1928, the Dallas Steers optioned Love to the San Antonio Bears. After several years as one of the best pitchers in the Texas League, Love had been unable to pitch a complete game in the first two months of the season. He pitched for both San Antonio and Wichita Falls during the 1928 season. In 1930, he played for the Baton Rouge Highlanders in the Cotton States League.

paragraph: Section::::Family and later years.

paragraph: Love was married to Mary (Stepan) Love. At the time of the 1920 United States Census, Love and his wife were living with his wife's parents in Los Angeles. By 1930, Love and his wife, Mary, were living in Memphis, Tennessee, and his occupation was listed as a professional baseball player. In 1935 and 1939, Love and his wife, Mary, were living in Memphis, and he was employed as a pipe fitter with the Love Automatic Sprinkler Company. In 1940, Love remained living in Memphis with his wife, and he was still employed as a pipe fitter for sprinkler systems. In approximately 1940, Love became employed as a steamfitter at the Naval Air Base in Millington, Tennessee.

paragraph: After retiring from baseball, Love was also active in sandlot baseball in Memphis. He died in Memphis on November 30, 1942, at age 52, after being struck by an automobile. He was buried at the Forest Hill Cemetery Midtown in Memphis.

paragraph: Marin Držić

paragraph: Marin Držić (; also "Marino Darza" or "Marino Darsa"; 1508 – 2 May 1567) is considered the finest Renaissance playwright and prose writer from the Republic of Ragusa, which was centered on Dubrovnik in what is today southern Croatia.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born into a large and well to do family (with 6 sisters and 5 brothers) in Dubrovnik, Držić was trained and ordained as a priest — a calling very unsuitable for his rebel temperament. Marin's uncle was another famous author Džore Držić. Ordained in 1526, Držić was sent in 1538 to Siena in Tuscany to study the Church Canon Law, where his academic results were average. Thanks to his extroverted and warm personality, he is said to have captured the hearts of his fellow students and professors, and was elected to the position of Rector of the University. Losing interest in his studies, Marin returned to the Dubrovnik Republic in 1543.

paragraph: Here he became an acquaintance of Austrian adventurer Christoph Rogendorf, then at odds with Vienna court. After a brief sojourn in Vienna, Držić came back to his native city. Other vagabond exploits followed: a connection with a group of Dubrovnik outlaws, a journey to Constantinople and a brief trip to Venice. After a career as an interpreter, scrivener and church musician, he even became a conspirator. Convinced that Dubrovnik was governed by a small circle of elitist aristocracy bent to tyranny, he tried to persuade in five letters (four of which survive) the powerful Medici family in Florence to help him overthrow the government in his home town; they did not respond. Marin died suddenly in Venice on 2 May 1567. He was buried in the Church of St. John and Paul.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Držić's works cover many fields: lyric poetry, pastorals, political letters and pamphlets, and comedies. While his pastorals ("Tirena", "Venera i Adon" and "Plakir") are still highly regarded as masterful examples of the genre, the pastoral has, as artistic form, virtually vanished from the scene.

paragraph: However, his comedies are among the best in European Renaissance literature. As with other great comedy writers like Lope de Vega, Ben Jonson or Molière, Držić's comedies are full of exuberant life and vitality, celebrating love, liberty and sincerity and mocking avarice, egoism and petty tyrants — both in the family and in the state. His best-known comedies include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Pomet" (1548 or 1553) - some historiographers argue that "Pomet" is indeed Marin's oldest play, his debut, while others disagree. The fact that it's lost makes it harder to classify it.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Novela od Stanca" (1550)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Dundo Maroje" (1551 or 1556) - arguably Marin's most famous play. It was also played in some international theatres.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Skup" (1554) - thematically similar to Plautus' "Aulularia" and Molière's "The Miser"

paragraph: The gallery of young lovers, misers, cuckolds, adventurers, senile tyrants, painted with the gusto of buoyant idiom that exemplifies richness of the Croatian language in the Renaissance period has remained the pillar of South Slav high comedy theatre ever since.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Since its independence Croatia has awarded the Marin Držić Award for dramatic work. The Croatian Parliament also declared 2008 the "Year of Marin Držić", as it is the 500th anniversary of his birth. An avenue in Zagreb is named after him. In Draškovićeva street (centre of Zagreb) there is a scenical stage named after Marin's nickname Vidra. Nicknames are given for various reasons. In Croatian word "vidra" could also point to a person who is perfidious and resourceful.

paragraph: Anitta

paragraph: Anitta, son of Pithana, was a king of Kussara, a city that has yet to be identified. He is the earliest known ruler to compose a text in the Hittite language.

paragraph: His high official, or "rabi simmiltim", was named Peruwa.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Anitta reigned in the 17th century BC (short chronology) and is the author of the "Anitta text" (CTH 1.A, edited in StBoT 18, 1974), the oldest known text in the Hittite language (and the oldest known Indo-European text altogether). This text seems to represent a cuneiform record of Anitta's inscriptions at Kanesh, perhaps compiled by Hattusili I, one of the earliest Hittite kings of Hattusa.

paragraph: The Anitta text indicates that Anitta's father conquered Neša (Kanesh, Kültepe), which became an important city within the kingdom of Kussara. During his own reign, Anitta defeated Huzziya, the last recorded king of Zalpuwa, and the Hattic king Piyusti and then conquered his capital at the site of the future Hittite capital of Hattusa. He then destroyed the city, sowed the ground with weeds, and laid a curse on the site.

paragraph: Anitta's name appears on an inscription on a dagger found in Kültepe and also, together with the name of his father, on various Kültepe texts, as well as in later Hittite tradition.

paragraph: Qumri

paragraph: Abu Mansur al-Hasan ibn Nuh al-Qumri () (also transliterated as “al-Qamari” and "al-Qumri")(fl. mid 10th Century, d. 980-990) was a Persian tenth century court physician to the Samanid Prince al-Mansur, and was based in the city of Bukhara. Qumri is theorized to be Avicenna’s teacher.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Little is known about al-Qumri’s life, however the thirteenth century biographer Ibn Abi Usaibia writes in "History of the Physicians"Abū Mansūr al-Hasan ibn Nūh al-Qamarī was the leading personage of his generation, celebrated as a fine physician who had praiseworthy methods and a thorough and wide knowledge of medical theory. He had, may God bless him, a good hand in treatment and was held in great esteem by the kings of his times. The Shaikh and Imam Shams al-Dīn `Abd al-Hamīd ibn `Isā from Khusroshah told me that the Grand Master Ibn Sīna had met this physician when he was very old. He used to attend his council and lessons and benefited from his medical knowledge. Abū Mansūr al-Hasan ibn Nūh al-Qamarī wrote the following books: 1) "Wealth and Fate", a fine compendium in which he summarized all the maladies and their treatments in the most perfect and concise way. 2) A collection of citations from the works of those who practiced medicine, especially al-Rāzī. 3) "The Causes of Maladies".Usaibia’s brief biography suggests that Avicenna would have directly attended lectures from al-Qumri, but upon comparing birth and death dates of the two, it seems that Avicenna may have heavily consulted his works in Bukhara.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: There are currently three known works attributed to Qumri, and one is presumed to be missing. It is theorized that he may have written more, but if he did these works are lost.

paragraph: The "Ghina Wa Muna", loosely translated as the “Book of Wealth and Wishes” is mentioned in Usaibia's biography. This work has approximately 220 folios and is divided in to three parts; “diseases from head to toe”, “external medicine”, and fevers/pharmacological recipes”. "Ghina Was Muna" is arranged in a formulaic manner suggesting that this manual would be used as a reference tool while working in the field rather than a theoretical work. Approximately 44 extant copies survive many of them are well preserved suggesting that many of them were library copies, with any working copies too far degraded to survive.

paragraph: Many of the "Ghina Wa Muna" manuscripts are either not digitized or accessible in online catalogue entries. The chart below is a selection of digitized or accessible manuscripts:

paragraph: The "al-Tanwir fi al-Istiliahat al-Tibbiyya" (or "al-"Tanwir is translated as “Book of Illumination Regarding Medical Technical Terminology”) is a short book on medical terms and tools. This book is presumably designed to be a working reference book and is much shorter than the "Ghina Wa Muna". There are approximately 14 extant manuscripts, and at least one critical edition. Like the "Ghina Wa Muna," the "al-Tanwir’s" manuscripts are difficult to access online, and unfortunately a similar chart could not be made.

paragraph: "The Causes of Maladies" is presumed missing.

paragraph: Hugh Nonant

paragraph: Hugh Nonant (sometimes Hugh de Nonant; died 27 March 1198) was a medieval Bishop of Coventry in England. A great-nephew and nephew of two Bishops of Lisieux, he held the office of archdeacon in that diocese before serving successively Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury and King Henry II of England. Diplomatic successes earned him the nomination to Coventry, but diplomatic missions after his elevation led to a long delay before he was consecrated. After King Henry's death, Nonant served Henry's son, King Richard I, who rewarded him with the office of sheriff in three counties. Nonant replaced his monastic cathedral chapter with secular clergy, and attempted to persuade his fellow bishops to do the same, but was unsuccessful. When King Richard was captured and held for ransom, Nonant supported Prince John's efforts to seize power in England, but had to purchase Richard's favour when the king returned.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Nonant was a great-nephew of John, Bishop of Lisieux, who had been the chief deputy in Normandy of King Henry I of England, and he was also a nephew of Arnulf of Lisieux, another bishop of Lisieux. Nonant had a brother Sylvester, who was treasurer of Lisieux. Hugh Nonant was a canon in his uncle Arnulf's cathedral chapter before serving as an archdeacon of the diocese of Lisieux from 1167 until 1184. Nonant served in the household of Thomas Becket while Becket was Archbishop of Canterbury, and went into exile with Becket, although he left Becket's service while the archbishop was in exile. While in Becket's service, Nonant may have authored a letter dated to 1165 that is attributed to Becket. Nonant had been reconciled to King Henry II of England by 1170. Along with Richard Barre, Nonant was named in January 1184 as a papal judge-delegate in a case between two Norman monasteries. In 1184, Nonant was sent by the king to the papal curia to petition Pope Lucius III on behalf of Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Henry II's son-in-law. Nonant's success on this mission probably was the reason he was elevated to the episcopate in 1185.

paragraph: Section::::Bishop of Coventry.

paragraph: Nonant was elected bishop in 1185, probably in January, and consecrated on 31 January 1188. The long delay between his election and his consecration was due to Nonant's continued diplomatic efforts on behalf of Henry II. In 1186, he was sent to Rome to secure papal permission for the crowning of Prince John as King of Ireland. The bishop-elect was briefly in England from December 1186 until February 1187, but then went with King Henry to the continent and did not return to England until January 1188. However, when Henry returned to France in July 1188, Hugh accompanied the king and did not return until shortly before the coronation of King Richard I of England. Nonant also purchased the offices of Sheriff of Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and Staffordshire. Holding these offices was against canon law, and the bishop's tenure in these offices may have been the cause of his quarrel with Baldwin of Forde.

paragraph: It was after the coronation of Richard that Nonant had a dispute with the monks of his cathedral chapter which led to Nonant replacing the monks with secular clergy. He was said to have commented that "I call my clerks gods and the monks demons." Nonant was very shrewd and eloquent, but he was also violent in his attempts to reform or expel his monastic clergy from Coventry. In October 1189 he attempted to persuade his fellow bishops who had monastic cathedral chapters to expel the monks and replace them with secular clergy. He also attempted to get all the bishops to prosecute a joint case at Rome to expel the monastic cathedral chapters, but gave up that idea after the Archbishop of Canterbury, Baldwin of Exeter declined to go along. Nonant did, however, receive papal sanction for the replacement of monks at Coventry. By 1197, however, Pope Celestine III issued instructions to Hubert Walter, the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Hugh of Lincoln, the Bishop of Lincoln and Samson of Tottington, the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds, to restore the monks to the cathedral.

paragraph: After King Richard went to the Holy Land on the Third Crusade, Nonant supported the efforts of Prince John, King Richard's brother, to seize power in England. Nonant joined with John in trying to wrest control of the castles of Tickhill and Nottingham from William Longchamp, the Bishop of Ely, who had been named justiciar and chancellor during Richard's absence. It was probably Nonant that was responsible for the meeting at Loddon Bridge on 5 October 1191 that ended in the deposition of Longchamp from office. Nonant supported John's side throughout the time that Richard was on Crusade and in captivity, and was tried with John after Richard's return to England in 1194. Nonant was only restored to royal favour in 1195 after the payment of a fine of 5000 marks. The bishop lost his three sheriffdoms, and retired to Normandy.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Nonant died on 27 March 1198. Before his death he was clothed in the habit of a Benedictine monk by the monks of Bec Abbey and he died at Bec. On his deathbed, he confessed a long record of sins, which deterred any priest from absolving him. The historian A. L. Poole described Hugh as a "dexterous and unprincipled politician who had inherited the diplomatic gifts of his uncle." Another historian, John Gillingham, stated that Nonant was King "John's chief propagandist and, in his spare time, bishop of Coventry". Hugh's brother was Robert Brito, who was captured by King Richard in 1194 and starved to death because Robert had earlier refused to be a hostage for the payment of Richard's ransom.

paragraph: The constitutions of the cathedral chapter at Lichfield are often stated to have been Nonant's work, but this has been disproven. The chronicler Roger of Howden inserted a letter supposedly by Nonant in his "Chronica". This letter was also preserved in other manuscripts, including a section of a manuscript now in the Bodleian Library as manuscript (MS) Additional A.44. This letter has now been published as part of the "English Episcopal Acta" series in the volume on the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry.

paragraph: Tomier and Palaizi (or Palazi) were two knights and troubadours from Tarascon, possibly brothers, and frequent comrades and co-composers (fl. 1199–1226).

paragraph: Palaizi and Tomier were involved in the Albigensian Crusade. In the "sirventes" "De chantar farai", written probably during Louis VIII's siege of Avignon in 1226, they criticised the Albigensian Crusaders and the Papacy — "those who have turned the crusade" — for diverting "succour and valour" (aid and military support) from the "Sepulchre" (the Holy Land), which was "disbelief", i.e. "a sin against the faith":

paragraph: poem"Al Sepolcr'an tout"

paragraph: "socors e valenza"

paragraph: "cil q'an la croz vout,"

paragraph: "et es decredenza."/poem

paragraph: The Albigensian Crusade was described as a "falsa croisada" and the song had a rhyming refrain which must have been intended to arouse Provenç passions for the fight against the French: "Segur estem, seignors, / E ferm de ric socors!" ("Lords, we are certain and confident of mighty aid"). Tomier and Palaizi blamed the church leadership, especially the legate Romain de Saint-Ange, for avarice. In an earlier, and less violent "sirventes", "Si col flacs molins torneja" (c. 1216), the two troubadours explain that the Albiensian venture ruins the roads and ports that lead to Acre, where the true Crusade is being waged. To them, the Crusaders "pauc a en Deu d'esperanssa" (have little hope in God). In the end Tomier and Palaizi attacked the Church for heresy and thus marked themselves out as heretics from the Church of Rome.

paragraph: Radulf II, Abbot of Kinloss

paragraph: Radulf (died 1220) was a 13th-century Scoto-Norman Cistercian monk and abbot. Most details about Radulf's career and all details about his early life are not known. His earliest certain occurrence in history is his appearance as Abbot of Kinloss in a Melrose charter datable to between 1202 and 1207. It is not known for certain when he became abbot of Kinloss Abbey, but the last known abbot of Kinloss, also called Radulf, left Kinloss in 1194 to become abbot of Melrose, putting Radulf II's succession somewhere between 1194 and 1207. Written in the margins next to Radulf's obituary is the assertion that he was the 4th Abbot of Kinloss, and if these are accurate, Radulf II would have succeeded not long after Radulf I's departure to Melrose Abbey in 1194.

paragraph: Radulf is given centre role in a passage by the 15th-century historian Walter Bower, Abbot of Inchcolm. Bower related that in 1214 it was the turn of Radulf to go the meeting of the general chapter of the Cistercian Order. The Cistercian order in Scotland was obliged to attend the general Cistercian chapter at Cîteaux every four years. While on the journey in France, a lay brother who was serving as the cook of the various abbots had the tasking of purchasing and preparing a meal for the travel party. According to Bower, he served the abbots fish and the others meat, but used the fat from the meat on the fish, pretending it to be butter. All the abbots, forbidden to eat animal meat, believed that it was butter, and consumed the fat drenched fish. After the meal, all of the abbots save Radulf (who was meditating) fell asleep. In Bower's story, a spirit (sent by the Devil) in the form of a black man ("Ethiops") came through a high window, and went around the sleeping abbots laughing at them; when the black man came to the lay brother, he embraced him, kissed him and applauded him. This prompted Abbot Radulf to interrogate the lay brother, who confessed his transgression and received penance. Bower's source for this story is not known.

paragraph: Radulf's abbacy witnessed the foundation of Deer Abbey as a daughter house of Kinloss. According to the "Chronicle of Melrose", Abbot Radulf died on 2 November 1220. The "Chronicle" reported his death as follows:"Dominus Radulphus", the abbot of Kinloss, full of good days, in holy old age migrated, as we believe, from earth to heaven. He was succeeded by the Abbot of Deer, Robert.

paragraph: John Hales (bishop of Coventry and Lichfield)

paragraph: John Hales (c. 1400-1490) ("alias" Hals, Halse, etc.) was Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield (1459-1490). He was one of the "Worthies of Devon" of the biographer John Prince (d.1723).

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Hales was the second son of John Hals (fl.1423) of Kenedon in the parish of Sherford, Devon (a Justice of the Common Pleas and in 1423 a Justice of the King's Bench) by his first wife, a daughter of the Mewye ("alias" Mewy) family of Whitchurch near Tavistock, Devon. His great-uncle was Richard Hals (d.1418), a Canon of Exeter Cathedral in Devon, and Treasurer of Exeter Cathedral in 1400, who in 1414 was sent as Ambassador to Brittany. Bishop Hals appointed his kinsman Edmund Hals as Archdeacon of Salop from an unknown date until 1485 and as Archdeacon of Derby from 1485, probably until his death. The mansion house of the Hals' at Kenedon, originally quadrangular in form, is today represented by a small 16th c. farmhouse known as "Keynedon", about 1 mile south of the village of Sherford. The early 15th century gate-tower of the house was demolished in about 1850.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Hales was Provost of Oriel College, Oxford from 1446 to 1449. He was Dean of Exeter between 1457 and 1459. In 1470, during the reign of King Henry VI, Hales was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal, but lost the office on the restoration of King Edward IV in 1471. Hales was nominated as Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield on 20 September 1459, and was consecrated on 25 November 1459. He died between 15 and 30 September 1490, aged about 90, and was buried in Lichfield Cathedral.

paragraph: Psusennes II

paragraph: Titkheperure or Tyetkheperre Psusennes II [Greek Ψουσέννης] or Hor-Pasebakhaenniut II [Egyptian "ḥr-p3-sb3-ḫˁỉ--nỉwt"], was the last king of the Twenty-first dynasty of Egypt. His royal name means "Image of the transformations of Re" in Egyptian. Psusennes II is often considered the same person as the High-Priest of Amun known as Psusennes III. The Egyptologist Karl Jansen-Winkeln notes that an important graffito from the Temple of Abydos contains the complete titles of a king "Tyetkheperre Setepenre Pasebakhaenniut Meryamun" "who is simultaneously called the HPA (i.e., High Priest of Amun) and supreme military commander." This suggests that Psusennes was both king at Tanis and the High Priest in Thebes at the same time, meaning he did not resign his office as High Priest of Amun during his reign. The few contemporary attestations from his reign include the aforementioned graffito in Seti I's Abydos temple, an ostracon from Umm el-Qa'ab, an affiliation at Karnak and his presumed burial – which consists of a gilded coffin with a royal uraeus and a Mummy, found in an antechamber of Psusennes I's tomb at Tanis. He was a High Priest of Amun at Thebes and the son of Pinedjem II and Istemkheb. His daughter Maatkare B was the Great Royal Wife of Osorkon I.

paragraph: Section::::Secure attestation of Psusennes II.

paragraph: Items which can be added to the list of secure attestations of Psusennes II include a Year 5 Mummy linen that was written with the High Priest Psusennes III's name. It is generally assumed that a Year 13 III Peret 10+X date in fragment 3B, line 6 of the Karnak Priestly Annals belongs to his reign. Unfortunately, however, the king's name is not stated and the only thing which is certain is that the fragment must be dated after Siamun's reign whose Year 17 is mentioned in lines 3-5. Hence, it belongs to either Psusennes II or possibly Shoshenq I's reign. More impressive are the number of objects which associate Psusennes II together with his successor, Shoshenq I, such as an old statue of Thutmose III (Cairo CG 42192) which contains two parallel columns of texts – one referring to Psusennes II and the other to Shoshenq I – a recently unearthed block from Tell Basta which preserves the nomen of Shoshenq I together with the prenomen of Psusennes II, and a now lost graffito from Theban Tomb 18.

paragraph: Recently, the first conclusive date for king Psusennes II was revealed in a newly published priestly annal stone block. This document, which has been designated as 'Block Karnak 94, CL 2149,' records the induction of a priest named Nesankhefenmaat into the chapel of Amun-Re within the Karnak precinct in Year 11 the first month of Shemu day 13 of a king named Psusennes. The preceding line of this document recorded the induction of Nesankhefenmaat's father, a certain Nesamun, into the priesthood of Amun-Re in king Siamun's reign. Siamun was the predecessor of Psusennes II at Tanis. The identification of the aforementioned Psusennes with Psusennes II is certain since the same fragmentary annal document next records—in the following line—the induction of Hor, the son of Nesankhefenmaat, into the priesthood of the chapel of Amun-Re at Karnak in Year 3 the second month of Akhet day 14 of king Osorkon I's reign just one generation later.—with Shoshenq I's 21-year reign being skipped over. This would not be unexpected since most Egyptologists believe that a generation in Egyptian society lasted a minimum of 25 years and a maximum of 30 years. Therefore, the Year 11 date can only be assigned to Psusennes II and constitutes the first securely attested date for this pharaoh's reign.

paragraph: The British Egyptologist Aidan Dodson also accepts this new evidence from Frederic Payraudeau's discovery of this new unknown fragment of the Karnak priestly annals and has now discarded his previously published late 1980's theory that Psusennes II's reign lay entirely within the reign of Shoshenq I. Dodson notes the recently found annal block document establishes that Psusennes II "was indeed a 'real' king, with a reign that was recognized at Thebes." Dodson also writes that Psusennes II's royal status was confirmed when Jean Yoyotte realized "that a batch of crude faience shabtis bearing the name of a [king] Pasebkhanut (i.e., Psusennes) found in the antechamber of Tanis [Tomb] NRT-III did not belong to the tomb's original owner, Pasebkhanut I, as had originally been assumed, but to the later king of the [same] name." This means that Psusennes II's long-decayed coffin and mummy is located in the debris of this antechamber of Psusennes I's Tanis tomb where Heqakheperre Shoshenq II's coffin and mummy mask was also discovered.

paragraph: Section::::Reign length.

paragraph: Unlike his immediate predecessor and successor – Siamun and Shoshenq I respectively– Psusennes II is generally less well attested in contemporary historical records even though various versions of Manetho's Epitome credit him with either a 14- or a 35-year reign (generally amended to 15 years by most scholars including the British Egyptologist Kenneth Kitchen). However, the German scholar Rolf Krauss has recently argued that Psusennes II's reign was 24 years rather than Manetho's original figure of 14 years. This is based on personal information recorded in the Large Dakhla stela which dates to Year 5 of Shoshenq I; the stela preserves a reference to a land-register from "Year 19 of a 'Pharaoh Psusennes'." However, since this document was composed under Shoshenq I, the use of the title Pharaoh before Psusennes here cannot establish whether the king was Psusennes I or II.

paragraph: In Year 5 of Shoshenq I, this king and the founder of the 22nd Dynasty, dispatched a certain Ma (i.e., Libyan) subordinate named Wayheset to the desert oasis town of Dakhla in order to restore Shoshenq I's authority over the western oasis region of Upper Egypt. Wayheset's titles include Prince and Governor of the Oasis. His activities are recorded in the Large Dakhla stela. This stela states that Wayheset adjudicated in a certain water dispute by consulting a land-register which is explicitly dated to Year 19 of a "Pharaoh Psusennes" in order to determine the water rights of a man named Nysu-Bastet. Kitchen notes that this individual made an appeal to the Year 19 cadastral land-register of king Psusennes belonging to his mother, which historians assumed was made some "80 years" before during the reign of Psusennes I. The land register recorded that certain water rights were formerly owned by Nysu-Bastet's mother Tewhunet in Year 19 of a king Psusennes. This ruler was generally assumed by Egyptologists to be Psusennes I rather than Psusennes II since the latter's reign was believed to have lasted only 14–15 years. Based on the land register evidence, Wayheset ordered that these watering rights should now be granted to Nysu-Bastet himself. However, if the oracle dated to Year 19 of Psusennes I as many scholars traditionally assumed, Nysu-Bastet would have been separated from his mother by a total of 80 years from this date into Year 5 of Shoshenq I—a figure which is highly unlikely since Nysu-Bastet would not have waited until extreme old age to uphold his mother's watering rights. This implies that the aforementioned king Psusennes here must be identified with Psusennes II instead—Shoshenq I's immediate predecessor and, more significantly, that Psusennes II enjoyed a minimum reign of 19 years.

paragraph: The term "mother" in ancient Egypt could also be an allusion to an ancestress, the matriarch of a lineage whereby Nysu-Bastet may have been petitioning for his hereditary water rights that belonged to his grandmother, whose family name was Tewhunet. However, this argument does not account for the use of Pharaoh as a title in the Dakhla stela—a literary device which first occurs late during the reign of Siamun, an Egyptian king who ruled between 45 and 64 years after Year 19 of Psusennes I.

paragraph: The most significant component of the Great Dakhla stela is its palaeography: the use of the title Pharaoh Psusennes. A scholar named Helen Jacquet-Gordon believed in the 1970s that the large Dakhla stela belonged to Shoshenq III's reign due to its use of the title 'Pharaoh' directly with the ruling king's birth name—i.e., "Pharaoh Shoshenq"—which was an important palaeographical development in Egyptian history. Throughout the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms of Ancient Egypt, the word pharaoh was never employed as a title such as Mr. and Mrs. or attached to a king's nomen such as "Pharaoh Ramesses" or "Pharaoh Amenhotep"; instead, the word pr-`3 or pharaoh was used as a noun to refer to the "activities" of the king (i.e., it was "Pharaoh" who ordered the creation of a temple or statue, or the digging of a well, etc.). Rolf Krauss aptly observes that the earliest attested use of the word pharaoh as a title is documented in Year 17 of the 21st Dynasty king Siamun from Karnak Priestly Annals fragment 3B while a second use of the title '[Pharaoh] [birth name]' occurs during Psusennes II's reign where a hieratic graffito in the Ptah chapel of the Abydos temple of Seti I explicitly refers to Psusennes II as the "High Priest of Amen-Re, King of the Gods, the Leader, Pharaoh Psusennes." Consequently, the practice of attaching the title "pr-`3" or pharaoh with a king's royal birth name had already started prior to the beginning of Shoshenq I's reign, let alone Shoshenq III. Hence, the Shoshenq mentioned in the large Year 5 Dakhla stela must have been Shoshenq I while the Psusennes mentioned in the same document likewise can only be Psusennes II which means that only 5 years (or 10 years if Psusennes II ruled Egypt for 24 years) would separate Nysu-Bastet from his mother. The additional fact that the Large Dakhla stela contains a Year 5 IV Peret day 25 lunar date has helped date the aforementioned king Shoshenq's accession to 943 BC and demonstrates that the ruler here must be Shoshenq I, not Shoshenq III who ruled a century later. Helen Jacquet-Gordon did not know of the two prior examples pertaining to Siamun and Psusennes II.

paragraph: Section::::Timeline.

paragraph: The editors of the 'Handbook on Ancient Egyptian Chronology' (2006)--Erik Hornung, Rolf Krauss and David Warburton—accept this logical reasoning and have amended Manetho's original figure of 14 years for Psusennes II to 24 years for Psusennes II. This is not unprecedented since Egyptologists had previously amended the reign of Siamun by a decade from 9 years—as preserved in surviving copies of Manetho's Epitome—to 19 years based on certain Year 16 and Year 17 dates attested for the latter. Psusennes II ruled Egypt for a minimum of 19 years based on the internal chronology of the Large Dakhla stela. However, a calculation of a lunar "Tepi Shemu" feast which records the induction of Hori son of Nespaneferhor into the Amun priesthood in regnal year 17 of Siamun, Psusennes II's predecessor—demonstrates that this date was equivalent to 970 BC. Since Siamun enjoyed a reign of 19 years, he would have died 2 years later in 968/967 BC and been succeeded by Psusennes II by 967 BC at the latest. Consequently, a reign of 24 years or 967-943 BC is now likely for Psusennes II; hence, his reign has been raised from 14 to 24 years.

paragraph: Psusennes II's royal name has been found associated with his successor, Shoshenq I in a graffito from tomb TT18, and in an ostracon from Umm el-Qa'ab.

paragraph: Snowy White

paragraph: Terence Charles "Snowy" White (born 3 March 1948, Barnstaple, Devon) is an English guitarist, known for having played with Thin Lizzy (permanent member from 1980 to 1982) and with Pink Floyd (as a backing guitarist; he was first invited to tour with the band through Europe and the United States in 1977, and during "The Wall" shows in 1980), and more recently, for Roger Waters' band. He is also known for his 1983 solo offering "Bird of Paradise", which became a UK Singles Chart Top 10 hit single.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: White grew up on the Isle of Wight, self-taught as a guitarist, having received his first guitar from his parents at the age of ten. He moved to Stockholm in 1965 at the age of seventeen, spending more than a year there playing in a trio called the Train. In 1968 he purchased his signature guitar, a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. By 1970 he made his way to London and found work as a session player and as a member of Heavy Heart. During this time he met Peter Green and the two began a lifelong friendship (White later appeared on Green's album "In the Skies"). In the 1960s Snowy White went on to play with Island Friends Patrick Bradley and Les Payne.

paragraph: White had been recommended to Pink Floyd by Kate Bush's former manager Hilary Walker, as they were looking for an additional guitarist for the live band on the "Animals" tour in 1977. White's solo on "Pigs on the Wing" (it appears on the 8-track version), was his first time playing for the band. During the tour, White started off the show by playing bass guitar on the song "Sheep", as well as soloing during "Have a Cigar" and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond Part VIII".

paragraph: In 1979 Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham, having seen White play with Pink Floyd in New York City during the "Animals" tour, approached him about joining Thin Lizzy.

paragraph: The collaboration with these two bands was very complicated; the invitation to rehearse the live show of "The Wall" for Pink Floyd, happened at the same time he was invited to become a full-time member of Thin Lizzy, with whom he recorded/co-wrote their "Chinatown" and "Renegade" albums. White left Thin Lizzy in August 1982.

paragraph: White's connection to Pink Floyd continued in later decades. White was invited by former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters to perform at The Wall Concert in Berlin in 1990, by the ruins of the Berlin Wall, along with other artists. Waters also called on White in 1991 for the "Guitar Legends" concert, in Seville. David Gilmour was the guest on White's 1994 album "Highway to the Sun", appearing on the track "Love, Pain and Sorrow", with Gilmour playing his Digitech Whammy pedal-induced Fender Stratocaster, which was recorded at Gilmour's houseboat studio, The Astoria.

paragraph: Apart from guest appearances by Chris Rea, David Gilmour and Gary Moore, the album also introduced two new Dutch-Indonesian musicians, Juan van Emmerloot (drums) and Walter Latupeirissa (bass and rhythm guitar). Kuma Harada also played bass and rhythm guitar.

paragraph: White's next album project was entitled "", named after his Gibson Les Paul Goldtop Standard guitar. It featured material in which White has been involved from 1974 until 1994, including two tracks from Thin Lizzy, jams from the Peter Green "In the Skies" session, and the extended, 8-track tape version of the Pink Floyd song "Pigs on the Wing", featuring White's guitar bridge between the two parts.

paragraph: White has recorded five albums with his White Flames band. The first three were "No Faith Required" in 1996, "Little Wing" in 1998 and "Keep Out: We Are Toxic" in 1999.

paragraph: In 1999 White joined Waters for his band's "In the Flesh" US tour and in 2000, Waters again toured the US, this time recording a live album and making a film of the show. Again, from February to July 2002 White toured the world with Roger Waters.

paragraph: Another White Flames album (as a three-piece), entitled "Restless", was released in May 2002. Spring 2005 saw the release of a new White Flames album, entitled "The Way It Is", with a basic four-piece outfit consisting of Richard Bailey (drums/percussion), Walter Latupeirissa (bass) and Max Middleton (keyboards). A DVD, "The Way It Is...Live!" was completed and issued.

paragraph: White toured with Waters in The Dark Side of the Moon Live tour from June 2006, having played in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia and South America. He also performed with Waters at Live Earth.

paragraph: White formed a new band in 2008 named the Snowy White Blues Project. "In Our Time of Living" was released in April 2009. The group featured Matt Taylor: guitar/vocals, Ruud Weber: bass/vocals, Juan van Emmerloot: drums, and Snowy White: guitar/vocals.

paragraph: In 2010 White toured again with Roger Waters, in The Wall Live. White provided vocals and a guitar riff on Meek Mill's album DC4.

paragraph: In 2016, White's "Midnight Blues" was sampled on rapper Meek Mills' mega-hit "Blue Notes".

paragraph: Rudolph III of Burgundy

paragraph: Rudolph III (called "the Idle" (, ) or "the Pious" ("le Pieux"); – 6 September 1032) was King of Burgundy from 993 until his death. He was the last ruler of an independent Kingdom of Arles, also called the Second Kingdom of Burgundy, and the last male member of the Burgundian group of the Elder House of Welf.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Rudolph was the son and heir of King Conrad I of Burgundy (925–993). His mother Matilda (943–980), a member of the Frankish Carolingian dynasty, was the daughter of King Louis IV of France. Rudolph himself had three sisters: Gerberga, who married Duke Herman II of Swabia about 988, Bertha, married to Count Odo I of Blois and secondly to King Robert II of France in 996, and Gisela, who married the Ottonian duke Henry II of Bavaria and became the mother of Emperor Henry II.

paragraph: Rudolph succeeded to the Burgundian throne upon his father's death on 19 October 993 and was crowned king in Lausanne. His reign was marked with turbulence when he made attempts to confiscate several Burgundian estates. Unable to placate the increasingly powerful nobility, he also had to deal with encroachments of power on the part of Count Otto-William of Burgundy.

paragraph: Like his father, Rudolph approached to the German Ottonian dynasty to stabilise his rule. His aunt Adelaide of Italy, widow of Emperor Otto I, and her grandson Otto III actively intervened in Burgundian affairs to secure his accession to power. In turn, Rudolph in 1006 ceded the city of Basel to his nephew Henry II, elected King of the Romans as head of the Kingdom of Germany in 1002.

paragraph: Rudolph's first marriage with one Agiltrud (died 1011) remained childless. On 28 June 1011, he married Ermengarde of Burgundy, a relative of Count Humbert I of Savoy and widow of Count Rotbold II of Provence. Rudolph vested her with the County of Vienne and Sermorens and further large estates up to Lake Geneva. However, no children were born from his second marriage too.

paragraph: When in 1016 King Rudolph entered into another conflict with Count Otto-William over the investiture of the Archbishop of Besançon, he and Emperor Henry II met in Straßburg where Henry succeeded in negotiating Rudolph to name him as his successor. Henry marched against Otto-William and the Burgundian nobles quickly submitted. Henry's right of succession was confirmed at a 1018 diet in Mainz, however, upon his death in 1024, the question appeared again unsettled. Henry's Salian successor, King Conrad II occupied Basel and also began to negotiate with Rudolph to become his heir. Rudolph was present at Conrad's imperial coronation at Easter 1027 and in August an inheritance contract was concluded. This agreement was contested by Rudolph's nobles, Count Odo II of Blois and Count Reginald I of Burgundy.

paragraph: Rudolph died in 1032, at the age of 61, with no surviving issue. He was buried in Lausanne Cathedral. Conrad II then claimed the Burgundian Kingdom of Arles and incorporated it in the Holy Roman Empire.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: As the last member of the Burgundian Welfs, Rudolph was considered a weak ruler by his contemporaries. The chronicler Wipo of Burgundy called him effete; according to Hermann of Reichenau, his rule was marked by idleness and chaos. Thietmar of Merseburg named the Burgundian counts the actual rulers, while Rudolph only held the royal title.

paragraph: At least from 1018, Rudolph actually ruled as a mock king in the shadow of his designated successor, who also interfered in domestic conflicts. Emperor Conrad II likewise had to defend his right of succession against the embittered resistance of the Burgundian nobility. In 1038 he had his son Henry III elevated to a King of Burgundy at Solothurn, enforcing the homage by the nobles.

paragraph: Agnes Macphail

paragraph: Agnes Campbell Macphail (March 24, 1890 – February 13, 1954) was a Canadian politician who was the country's first female Member of Parliament. First elected to the House of Commons of Canada in 1921, she served as an MP until 1940. Moving to provincial politics, from 1943 to 1945 and again from 1948 to 1951 she was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario representing the Toronto riding of York East. Active throughout her life in progressive Canadian politics, Macphail worked for two separate parties and promoted her ideas through column-writing, activist organizing, and legislation.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Agnes Macphail was born to Dougald McPhail and Henrietta Campbell in Proton Township, Grey County, Ontario. Although her surname was spelled "McPhail" at birth, she discovered during a trip to Scotland that her family's surname had been "Macphail" and changed her name to reflect this. She was raised in the Methodist Church, but converted to the Reorganized Latter Day Saint church as a teenager, the church of her missionary uncle.

paragraph: Macphail attended Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute for one year. Even though she did well, she transferred to Stratford Normal School so she could board with a relative. She graduated in 1910 with a second class teacher's certificate. She applied for five positions and was accepted at all five. She claimed that this was not due to her competence but due to a scarcity of teachers at the time. She taught in several rural schools in such communities as Port Elgin, Honeywood, and Newmarket.

paragraph: While working in Sharon, Macphail became active politically, joining the United Farmers of Ontario (UFO) and its women's organization, the United Farm Women of Ontario. She also became a columnist for the "Farmer's Sun" around this time.

paragraph: Section::::Federal politics.

paragraph: After amendments to the Elections Act by the Conservative federal government in 1919, Macphail was elected to the House of Commons as a member of the Progressive Party of Canada for the electoral district of Grey Southeast in the 1921 federal election, becoming the first female MP in Canadian history. She was re-elected in the 1925, 1926, and 1930 federal elections.

paragraph: Macphail objected to the Royal Military College of Canada in 1924 on the grounds that it taught snobbishness and provided a cheap education for the sons of the rich and again in 1931 on pacifist grounds.

paragraph: As a radical member of the Progressive Party, Macphail joined the socialist Ginger Group, a faction of the Progressive Party that later led to the formation of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). She became the first president of the Ontario CCF in 1932. However, she left the CCF in 1934 when the United Farmers of Ontario pulled out over fears of Communist influence in the Ontario CCF. While Macphail was no longer formally a CCF member, she remained close to the CCF MPs and often participated in caucus meetings. The CCF did not run candidates against Macphail in her three subsequent federal campaigns.

paragraph: In the 1935 federal election, Macphail was again elected, this time as a United Farmers of Ontario–Labour MP for the newly formed Grey—Bruce riding. She was allowed to use the party's name, even after it stopped being a political organization in 1934. She was always a strong voice for rural issues. Macphail was also a strong advocate for penal reform and her efforts contributed to the launch of the investigative Archambault Commission in 1936. The final report became the basis for reform in Canadian penitentiaries following World War II. Macphail's concern for women in the criminal justice system led her, in 1939, to found the Elizabeth Fry Society of Canada, named after British reformer Elizabeth Fry.

paragraph: Causes she championed included pensions for seniors and workers' rights. Macphail was also the first Canadian woman delegate to the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, where she worked with the World Disarmament Committee. Although a pacifist, she voted for Canada to enter World War II.

paragraph: In the 1940 election, she was defeated. With the death of United Reform MP for Saskatoon City, Walter George Brown, a few days after the election, Macphail was recruited by the United Reform Movement to run in the by-election to fill the seat. On August 19, she was defeated by Progressive Conservative candidate Alfred Henry Bence. He received 4,798 votes, while Macphail placed second with 4,057 votes. It was her last federal campaign as a candidate.

paragraph: Section::::Journalist.

paragraph: Macphail was a frequent contributor to newspapers in Grey County such as the "Flesherton Advance", often acting as a correspondent or ambassador to the rest of the country. She wrote dispatches from Parliament about political news of interest to the rural communities back home, and contributed columns when she travelled and spoke to citizens in other regions. She also wrote a number of pieces for "The Farmer's Sun", an Ontario progressive weekly, including a number of reminiscences about rural Ontario history.

paragraph: Out of office, she wrote agricultural columns for "The Globe and Mail" newspaper in Toronto and contributed pieces about politics to the "Newmarket Era".
