paragraph: Ramon Ortiz (musician)

paragraph: Ramón Ortiz (June 15, 1970) is a Puerto Rican guitarist and composer, best known as a founding member and director of the band Puya, Ankla and now his solo project ORTIZ. Ramón is a visionary and pioneer of the Latin metal movement internationally. His music is a fusion that blends the power of guitar driven heavy rock and metal with the syncopated beats of Afro-Caribbean music. As once stated by Peavey amplification: "his music is an exercise in contrast and control, like a fist inside a velvet glove. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he started the guitar at age seven. Son and grandson of the guitar and the Puerto Rican cuatro. He studied classical guitar at the Music Conservatory of Puerto Rico during his adolescence."

paragraph: Section::::Puya.

paragraph: Ramón founded Puya in the early 90s, which continues to be one of the most notable heavy rock bands in Latin America. In 1998 the band signed to MCA/Universal and released the album Fundamental in 1999 .The album which was produced by Gustavo Santaolaya and one track by Bob Ezrin won the 1999 Latin Billboard award for Best Rock Fusion album. During that time the band toured with Ozzfest 1999,Red Hot Chili Peppers, KISS, Iron Maiden, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot and many others. At that point Ortiz had already proven that heavy rock and Latin music could coexist within the same musical terrain.

paragraph: Section::::Ankla.

paragraph: Later on in his career Ramón founded a heavier band on the Latin metal genre, Ankla. In 2006, the band was signed by Bieler Brothers and released their first album "Steep Trails", produced by Ortiz and Bob Marlette. In 2007 Ankla was a featured band on Ozzfest(second time for Ramon) sharing the bill this time around with Lamb of God, Behemoth, Hatebreed and Ozzy Osbourne. The single "Deceit" was in heavy rotation on Sirius Satellite's "Hard Attack". "Steep Trails" was published as number 12 on Revolver Magazine's list of "Top Metal Albums of 2006".

paragraph: Section::::Solo Albums.

paragraph: In 2012 Ramon released his very eclectic first solo album by the name "ORTIZ". It contains 13 tracks and was produced by Nick Page and Ramón himself. Mixed and mastered by Alexis Pérez. His second solo album Portal was released on September 15, 2015 and has a more progressive sound than its predecessor . Stylistically this stage of his career follows the same line of fusion between heavy rock and metal and Afro-Caribbean swing but more centered around his guitar and his commitment with his main instrument. Both albums have been favorites of Liquid Metal in Sirius Satellite Radio[8]. Currently, Ramon resides in Puerto Rico and remains occupied as a guitar teacher, composing his third solo album, performing solo shows and sporadic meetings of Puya, among other projects. Firm believer in musical alchemy and continues to seek new developments for his fusion.

paragraph: John II, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Haderslev

paragraph: John of Denmark or John the Elder (aka Hans the Elder) ( or ; ; born: 29 June 1521 in Haderslev; died: 1 October 1580 at Hansborg Castle, Haderslev) was the only Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Haderslev. The predicate "the Elder" is sometimes used to distinguish him from his nephew, John the Younger, who held Sønderborg from 1564 as a partitioned-off duke. As a co-ruler in the duchies of Holstein and of Schleswig, John "the Elder" is numbered as John II, continuing counting King John of Denmark as John I, Duke of Holstein and Schleswig.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: John was the son of King Frederick I of Denmark and his second wife, Sophie of Pomerania. As a possible heir to the throne, he enjoyed a careful education and spent several years at the court of his brother-in-law Albert, Duke of Prussia, in Königsberg. This was in Lutheran Ducal Prussia, a Polish fief, modernized into a secular state from the Teutonic State of Prussia since 1525. This successful policy would be seminal for John's understanding of politics and the state, as he also never became a fully sovereign prince.

paragraph: Section::::Reign as Duke (1544–1580).

paragraph: From 1544, John ruled the duchies of Schleswig and of Holstein jointly with his brother, Adolf of Denmark, and his half-brother, King Christian III of Denmark. He ruled from Haderslevhus Castle and later built Hansborg Castle in his hometown, a magnificent Renaissance palace situated east of the city of Haderslev.

paragraph: His territory consisted of the Counties of Haderslev, including Tørning, Tønder, and Løgumkloster, and the islands of Nordstrand and Fehmarn in Schleswig, plus Rendsburg and some smaller communities in Holstein.

paragraph: During his reign, John joined the Reformation and founded several social and educational institutions, notably the Duke John Hospital in Haderslev. He introduced many reforms to the legal system and was regarded as a dedicated judge. As one of the first rulers between the seas, he sat down for an active land reclamation and coastal protection program, presumably, he ruled over the most vulnerable stretch of the Schleswig coastline. In 1559, John, his brother Adolf, and King Christian's successor, Frederick II of Denmark, occupied the independent peasant Republic of Dithmarschen, and divided it among themselves.

paragraph: John died unmarried and childless in 1580. After his death, his territory was divided between his brothers, Adolf and Frederick.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In contrast to most of the dukes of Schleswig and Holstein, posterity has a very positive view of John the Elder. This holds especially for his capital Haderslev, which was a ducal residence only during his time and has benefited ever since. he is still popular as a sort of patron saint. The largest annual summer festival in Haderslev, the "Hertug-Hans-Fest" is named after, and the local brewery Fuglsang has named a beer after him ("Hertug Hans Pils"). Even the Hospital (which he founded) still bears his name. His judgments were fully published in book form ("De Hansborgske Dømme").

paragraph: Louis de Cahusac

paragraph: Louis de Cahusac (6 April 1706 – 22 June 1759) was an 18th-century French playwright and librettist, and Freemason, most famous for his work with the composer Jean-Philippe Rameau. He provided the libretti for several of Rameau's operas, namely "Les fêtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour" (1747), "Zaïs" (1748), "Naïs" (1749), "Zoroastre" (1749; revised 1756), "La naissance d'Osiris" (1754), and "Anacréon" (the first of Rameau's operas by that name, 1754). He is also credited with writing the libretto of Rameau's final work, "Les Boréades" (c. 1763). Cahusac contributed to the Encyclopédie and was the lover of Marie Fel.

paragraph: In 1754, he published "La Danse ancienne et moderne ou Traité historique de la danse" (The Hague, Jean Neaulme).

paragraph: Among Rameau's librettists, he was the one whose collaboration lasted the longest; the composer was having a very bad character and he was also very stingy: only Cahusac managed to agree with him permanently.

paragraph: Ian Campbell, 11th Duke of Argyll

paragraph: Ian Douglas Campbell, 11th and 4th Duke of Argyll (18 June 1903 – 7 April 1973) was a Scottish peer. He is chiefly remembered for his unhappy marriage to, and scandalous 1963 divorce from, Margaret Whigham.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ian Douglas Campbell was born in Paris, France. He was the son of Douglas Walter Campbell and his wife, Aimee Marie Suzanne Lawrence. He was a great-grandson of George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll. He inherited the dukedom from his first cousin once removed, Niall Diarmid Campbell, 10th Duke of Argyll, in 1949.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Argyll was married four times. His first marriage was to the Honourable Janet Gladys Aitken (9 July 1908 – 1988), daughter of business tycoon and press baron Lord Beaverbrook, on 12 December 1927. They had a daughter:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Lady Jeanne Campbell (10 December 1928 – 4 June 2007) she married Norman Mailer in 1962 and they were divorced in 1963. They have one daughter. She remarried John Cram in March 1964. They have one daughter.

paragraph: Ian and Janet divorced in 1934. Argyll's second marriage was to Louise Hollingsworth Morris Vanneck, née Clews (d. 10 February 1970), daughter of Henry Clews by his wife Louise Hollingsworth Morris (ex-wife 1894–1901 of Frederick Gebhard) of Baltimore, Maryland, and former wife of Hon. Andrew Vanneck (md 1930–1933) on 23 November 1935. This marriage produced two sons:

paragraph: This marriage also ended in divorce, in 1951.

paragraph: Argyll's third marriage was to Margaret Whigham (1 December 1912 – 25 July 1993), mother of the Duchess of Rutland, Frances Helen Sweeny, from her previous marriage to Charles Sweeny. They were married on 22 March 1951. Margaret was a glittering society figure with a voracious sexual appetite. Even while married to the Duke, she carried on having affairs with men from actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr. to Duncan Sandys, the Minister of Defence. The marriage was childless and they divorced in 1963, after the Duke photographed one of her sexual exploits. In the infamous divorce proceeding, the Duke produced Polaroid photographs of the Duchess wearing only her signature triple-string of pearls while fellating an unidentified man. This naturally caused a stir in society, and the divorce was granted, though on grounds of adultery with a different man.

paragraph: Argyll's fourth and final marriage was to Mathilda Coster Mortimer (20 August 1925 – 6 June 1997) on 15 June 1963. Mathilda, who was first married to Clemens Heller, founder of the Salzburg Global Seminar, a school in Salzburg, Austria, was the granddaughter of New York banker and clubman, William B. Coster. From this marriage he had a daughter:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Lady Elspeth Campbell (29 April – 4 May 1967), who lived only five days.

paragraph: They remained married until the Duke's death on 7 April 1973. He died in a nursing home in Edinburgh. He was succeeded by his son Ian.

paragraph: While most Dukes and Duchesses of Argyll are buried at Kilmun Parish Church, the 11th Duke and his son, the 12th Duke, both chose to be buried on the island of Inishail in Loch Awe.

paragraph: Michael Pinsky

paragraph: Michael Pinsky (born in 1967) is a visual artist who uses diverse media such as video, performance, mapping systems and sculpture to explore geopolitical aspects of a site. Through the displacement and conflation of existing objects and activities he critiques the impact of society’s behaviour. He is known particularly for his projects in the public realm.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Michael Pinsky studied in England at Manchester Polytechnic, the University of Brighton and at the Royal College of Art in London. He was awarded a Doctorate from the University of East London in 2000.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions & Projects.

paragraph: Pinsky's work has been shown at: Somerset House, London , the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chengdu; TATE Britain; Saatchi Gallery; Victoria and Albert Museum; Parc de la Villette, Paris;Institute of Contemporary Art; BALTIC, Gateshead; Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow; Modern Art Oxford, Milton Keynes Gallery, Cornerhouse, Manchester; Liverpool Biennial, Centre de Création Contemporaine, Tours; Armory Center of the Arts, Los Angeles and the Rotterdam International Architectural Biennial.

paragraph: Pinsky’s projects in the public realm have often courted controversy in the press. Notable projects include;

paragraph: "Pollution Pods" The artist created a series of interlinked geodesic domes which contained polluted air from cities around the world. There was some confusion and concern about whether the environments within the domes could have a detrimental impact on visitors' health. During an interview for BBC1, the presenter David Sillito was "'speechless"' when the artist explained that he could not use genuine London air within the London pod.

paragraph: "City Speaks". The artist constructed a lectern which captured peoples voices and relayed what they said as enormous dot-matrix text ascending Hull's tidal barrier. Many media outlets claimed that the installation was being used for profanities, including a number of sexual references such as ""send nudes"" and ""ejaculation"". However, it was well received by many, the comedian Mark Steel, said that 'City Speaks' was ""one of my favourite works of art ever"".

paragraph: "Plunge". The artist marked the predicted sea level in the year 3012 on major monuments throughout London. Giles Fraser, Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral stated that ""this clever installation imagines a world where St Paul's Cathedral, the Donmar Warehouse and the Athenaeum are all under water, powerfully makes the climate change point"". Charles Saatchi was a little less enthusiastic in the Evening Standard ""Pinsky's artwork may appear a little bleak and pessimistic to some viewers but particularly so to committed Global Warming deniers such as me"".

paragraph: "L'eau Qui Dort". The artist dredged discarded objects from the depths of the Parisian canals and erected them on the surface of the water. This ecological project was commissioned for COP21, but the public interpretation of the work changed after the terrorist strike on Paris. Elian Peltier from the New York Times suggested that ""the charged atmosphere after the attacks added tension to the installations"".

paragraph: "Come Hell or High Water". The artist semi-submerged a fleet of cars in the Tyne for the World Summit of Arts and Culture.

paragraph: "Lost 0". The artist used reclaimed street signs to build a monument to the lost ring road in Ashford. The Daily Mail claimed that the sculpture ""caused a dozen accidents in a month"".

paragraph: "Pontis". The artist created bilingual Latin and English signs in Wallsend Metro Station. This project was shortlisted for the Gulbenkian Prize for Museums.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: Pinsky has received awards from the RSA, Arts Council England, British Council, Arts and Business, the Wellcome Trust and his exhibition "Pontis" was shortlisted for the prestigious Gulbenkian Museums Award.

paragraph: Katherine Plunket

paragraph: Katherine Plunket (born as Catherine Plunket; 22 November 1820 – 14 October 1932) was an Anglo-Irish aristocrat from Ballymascanlan, County Louth, a prolific botanical illustrator and the oldest person ever to die in Ireland, at 111 years and 327 days.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Plunket was born at Kilsaran, near Castlebellingham in County Louth. The eldest of six children, one of whom died in infancy, she was a granddaughter of William Plunket, 1st Baron Plunket, Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Her father Thomas Plunket, 2nd Baron Plunket (1792–1866), was a junior Church of Ireland clergyman when she was born and later became the Bishop of Tuam, Killala and Achonry, she was featured in numerous peerage books of the period including Whittakers.

paragraph: Her mother Louisa Jane Foster (1804-1893) (married in 26 October 1819, Kilsaren) was the second daughter of Rebecca M'Clure and John William Foster of Fanevalley, County Louth, Member of Parliament for Dunleer, and was related to the Earl of Clermont. Her first and second cousins included three titled members of the Irish aristocracy. She was baptised Anglican in Kilsaran Church on 13 December 1820 as Catherine Plunket, though she spelled her name with a "K" for her entire life.

paragraph: She inherited from her mother one of the family's ancestral homes, Ballymascanlon House near Dundalk, and oversaw the upkeep of the home and gardens until she contracted bronchitis at the age of 102 (her only serious health problem). The house is now a hotel.

paragraph: Section::::Botanical illustration.

paragraph: With her younger sister Gertrude (1841–1924), Plunket traveled widely and visited almost every capital in Europe. With her sister, Frederica, she made many sketches of flowers in France, Italy, Spain and Germany, and Ireland.

paragraph: These were bound in a volume which was presented in 1903 to the Royal College of Science, and was later transferred to the Museum of Science and Art in the National Museum of Ireland. In 1970 it was part of the collections which were transferred to the Irish National Botanic Gardens at Glasnevin.

paragraph: Section::::Longevity record.

paragraph: Although it was not known at the time, Plunket became the oldest recognised person in the world at 8:00 a.m. on 4 December 1928, after the death of Delina Filkins, at the age of 108 years and 12 days, spanning a little over three years. As well as being the longest-lived Irish person, Plunket lived longer than anyone who died in Ireland or Britain, and at 109 received a telegram from King George V, holding the longevity record title for 38 years, until 1970, when Ada Roe lived to be 12 days older. She was the last living person who had met the author Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832), when he stayed at her grandfather's house in Bray while she was visiting.

paragraph: She was included in the first ever Guinness World Records (published in 1955), and is the only supercentenarian listed then to stand the burden of scrutiny in the years since.

paragraph: She attributed her longevity to the unrustled carefree aspect of her life. She died on 14 October 1932, a month shy of her 112th birthday, her death was recorded three days later in Ravensdale, County Louth and attributed to syncope, her obituary was published in numerous Irish media publications, and in England in "The Times". A telegram of condolence was sent to her relatives by King George V.

paragraph: Ishibashi Kazunori

paragraph: Kazunori is perhaps best known for "Woman Reading Poetry" which is currently on display at the Shimane Art Museum. Said to have been modelled after an English actress, the work is widely considered his masterpiece and has been designated as a Prefectural Cultural Property of Shimane.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in Shimane Prefecture in 1876, Kazunori studied in Tokyo under , with whom he lived for five years. From 1903 he studied in London, initially at a private life drawing class before enrolling at the Royal Academy Schools. From May to November 1905 he travelled on the continent, to France, Italy, Budapest, Berlin, and the Netherlands. In 1907 he completed his studies at the Royal Academy. He contributed works to the Summer Exhibition thirteen times between 1908 and 1927 as well as to the Belgian section of the 1915 War Relief Exhibition. He also became a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. While in England he submitted works to the Bunten exhibitions, winning several prizes.

paragraph: In 1918 he returned to Japan, taking with him works by British and Belgian painters for "The Exhibition of European Famous Painters" at Mitsukoshi that summer; a letter addressed to him from the Belgian ambassador to Japan, Georges della Faille de Leverghem (), indicates this was a charity event in aid of displaced Belgians. In 1919 he was involved in discussions for Matsukata Kōjirō's unrealised Kyoraku Bijutsukan ("Sheer Pleasure Arts Pavilion") alongside Kuroda Seiki, whose diary records their meeting with , Bernard Leach, and Frank Brangwyn.

paragraph: Kazunori displayed "A Favourite Book" and "A Peaceful Evening" for the 1915 War Relief Exhibition; and, at the Bunten exhibitions, "Memories of Things", awarded third prize at the second in 1908, "Lady Reading Poetry" (1906), awarded third prize at the third in 1909, "Doctor Uehara" at the fifth in 1911, and "Sculptor" (1911), now at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, at the sixth the following year.

paragraph: "Lady Reading Poetry", now at the Shimane Art Museum, is said to have been modelled on an English actress and is generally considered his masterpiece. Both it and "Old Lady" (1919), now in a private collection in his birthplace of Izumo, have been designated Prefectural Cultural Properties of Shimane.

paragraph: Joseph Lindon Smith

paragraph: Joseph Lindon Smith (October 11, 1863 – October 18, 1950)), was an American painter, best known for his extraordinarily faithful and lively representations of antiquities, especially Egyptian tomb reliefs. He was a founding member of the art colony at Dublin, New Hampshire.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Smith was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on October 11, 1863, to Henry Francis Smith, a wholesale lumberman, and Emma Greenleaf Smith. Interested in studying art, he was schooled at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

paragraph: In the fall of 1883, Smith sailed to Paris with his friend and fellow student at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Frank Weston Benson; They shared an apartment in Paris while they studied at the Académie Julian (1883–85) under William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Jules Joseph Lefebvre, and Gustave Boulanger.

paragraph: "The noise level in the Académie Julian is always at a constant rumble: the scraping of benches on the floor as the artists jockey for a better view of the model, the lively banter of dozens of young men in three or four different languages, the swish and dab of brushes against canvas. The air in the studio is warm and full of the mingled scents of linseed oil and turpentine, damp wool jackets and the smoke from pipes and cigarettes. In one corner Frank Benson concentrates on putting the finishing touches to a portrait of the model, a gaunt old man. Wiping his brush on his smock, he waves to his friend, Joseph Lindon Smith, and they race down three flights of stairs to breathe the fresh air. That evening, over a meager meal in their fourth-floor rooms on Paris’s Right Bank, the two make plans to get out of the city for a weekend."

paragraph: Smith spent several years traveling in Greece and Italy, often in company with his friend, the American painter Frank Weston Benson, who painted a memorable portrait of the young Smith (1884). While in Venice on one of these excursions, Smith met Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840–1924), who became a lifelong friend and supporter.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: In 1899, Smith married Corinna Haven Putnam, daughter of the publisher George Haven Putnam. For decades they spent the winter months in Egypt or Latin America and the summer months in Dublin, New Hampshire, on the shores of Dublin Pond.

paragraph: Corinna Lindon Smith wrote a lively personal memoir, "Interesting People: Eighty Years with the Great and Nearly Great", which is an important source of material on the movers and shakers of her day, especially writers and publishers.

paragraph: Section::::Egyptian influence.

paragraph: In 1898, Smith decided on a whim to visit Egypt. His paintings of Nile scenes and antiquities quickly brought him to the attention of Phoebe Hearst, who was underwriting excavations at Giza for the University of California, and Dr. George Andrew Reisner, the director of the expedition who was later to become a professor of Egyptology at Harvard University and curator of the Egyptian collections at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Reisner and other archaeologists enlisted Smith to document the fragile wall paintings in tombs that were just then coming to light.

paragraph: He kept a diary of his travels in Egypt. His memoir, "Tombs, Temples, and Ancient Art", was published after his death, on October 19, 1950. Edited by his wife, Corinna, the book is a riveting, first-hand account of the excavations at Giza and in the Valley of the Kings in their greatest period of discovery (1899–1950). Smith was often among the first to enter a newly discovered tomb and knew most of the personalities at work in the area, including Lord George Carnarvon, Howard Carter, Gaston Maspero, and Theodore M. Davis. In many cases, his paintings are the best surviving documentation of newly exposed, fragile antiquities, whose polychromy did not long survive the change of atmosphere.

paragraph: Section::::Dublin art colony.

paragraph: Smith's house at Loon Point formed an important nucleus of the Dublin Art Colony, whose regular members included the painters Abbott Thayer and Rockwell Kent, publishers Charles Scribner and Henry Holt and whose visitors included Isabella Stewart Gardner, poet Amy Lowell, Mark Twain, and painter John Singer Sargent.

paragraph: Smith was noted in the community for his love of theatricals, and part of his Loon Point property was landscaped and decorated for these performances.

paragraph: Section::::Museums.

paragraph: Smith's works are among many collections. The museums with significant holdings include:

paragraph: Pachomius the Serb (, ), also known as Pachomius Logothetes, , ) was a 15th-century Serbian hagiographer who, after taking monastic vows, was schooled on Mount Athos and mastered the ornate style of medieval Serbian literature.

paragraph: In the 1450s and 1460s he resided at the Trinity Monastery of St. Sergius north of Moscow. One of his major undertakings was a Russian translation of the New Testament. In about 1470 Archbishop Jonas (Iona) asked him to settle in Novgorod where he prepared a set of the lives of local saints. It has been suggested that "The Tale of the Princes of Vladimir" was also authored by Pachomius.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He arrived in Novgorod at the end of the 1430s or beginning of the 1440s, during the archiepiscopate of Evfimy II of Novgorod (1429–1458) and, under Evfimii's aegis, he composed the Life of Varlaam of Khutyn, the founder of the Khutyn Monastery, as well as the "Tale of the Journey of Ioann (Il'ia, Archbishop of Novgorod 1165-1186) on a Devil to Jerusalem." He then traveled to the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra north of Moscow, where he composed the Life of Sergei of Radonezh, the founder of that monastery. He returned to Novgorod under Arcbhishop Iona (1458–1470), and composed the Lives of several Novgorodian bishop-saints, including those of Il'ia (Ioann) and Evfimii II. He later composed the Life of Moisei, Archbishop of Novgorod sometime shortly after 1484. He died sometime thereafter.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Pachomius is believed to have written eleven saint's lives (zhitie), including those of Metropolitan Peter of Moscow, Stephen of Perm, Ilia (Ioann) of Novgorod, , Euthymius II of Novgorod, , Prince Michael of Chernigov, Barlaam of Khutyn, Sergius of Radonezh, and others. He also wrote fourteen services, including those for Evfimii II, The Mother of God of the Sign in Novgorod, Metropolitan Alexius of Moscow, Anthony of Kiev, and Metropolitan Jonah of Moscow.

paragraph: Jan-Baptist Verlooy

paragraph: Jan-Baptist Chrysostomus Verlooy (Houtvenne, 22 December 1746 - Brussels, 4 May 1797) was a Flemish jurist and politician from the Southern Netherlands.

paragraph: Section::::Childhood and descent.

paragraph: Verlooy belonged to a family of local notables who owned extensive possessions and of whom some were invested with prominent power. An official document bearing 21 June 1720 as a definite date, bears testimony to the fact that his grandfather, Jan Verlooy (about 1657–1723), was a royal and hereditary notary ("conincklyck ende erfelyck notaris"). Grand father Jan occupied the position of Secretary in Houtvenne. This position might have provided him with a degree of respectability which is proved by the fact that one of his grand children, Jan Frans Verlooy, referred to it when he applied to be a notary in the Chancery of Brabant in 1775. One can read in the assessment preceding his appointment that he descended from respectable parents, that his grand father was Secretary of Oosterwijk and that the family of his mother were one of the most honourable from the Campine ("van treffelijke ouders voortsgecomen, synen grootvader was Secretaris van Oosterwijck ende de familie van sijne moeder is eene van de treffelyckste uyt de Kempen"). Grand father Verlooy was buried in the church of Houtvenne, generally a privilege for the upper class.

paragraph: Jan Baptist Chrysostomus’ father, Jan Frans Verlooy (1697–1773), was also Secretary in Houtvenne. If it is true that he was involved in agriculture as well, and this seems to be confirmed by the census in 1755, then he probably would not have been able to spend much time in this business. This can be deduced from the hundreds of pages in folio that he wrote while in service at his commune and which turn up in the registers of the municipal archives in Houtvenne, now in the state archives in Antwerp. He was mentioned various times in the journal of the priests of Houtvenne, now and then as Mr. Secretary Verlooy ("De Heer Secretaris Verloy"). The farmhouse he lived in, the so-called "Kauberg Schrans" was an impressive building. Situated to the north of the village, it belonged to the red brick construction of the hamlet "the Pig Market" ("de Varkensmarkt") or "the Square" ("de Plein"). It was surrounded by a deep moat, to the outside contiguous to the brick Saint Anne Chapel.

paragraph: Jan Frans Verlooy carried responsibility for a large household. Ten children came from his first marriage with Anna Maria Meeus (Joanna Elisabeth, 1724, Jan Frans, 1726, Henricus, 1729, Anna Maria, 1730, Anna Catharina, 1732, Jan Frans, 1735, Petrus Antonius, 1737, Anna Barbara 1740, Ferdinandus Jozef, 1742, a nameless child, 1743). Out of his second marriage on 14 January 1744 with Anna Wouters, came eight descendants (Joannes Baptista, 1745, Joannes Baptista Chrysostomus, 1746, Adrianus Ferdinandus, 1748, Frans, 1750, Maria Theresia, 1752, Adrianus, 1754, Jan Frans, 1756, Guilelmus Norbertus, 1758). The second child from his second marriage was Jan Baptist Chrysostomus. Jan Frans Verlooy was buried on 1 September 1773 and his wife Anna Wouters was buried on 17 October 1764.

paragraph: It would seem that Verlooy’s immediate ancestors could be considered to be among the notables of their village.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In 1766 Verlooy went to Leuven to study law at the University. In 1774 he settled in Brussels and a year later he took the oath as a solicitor to the Brabant Counsel. In 1781 he published the "Codex Brabanticus", a judicial manual about the laws valid in the Duchy of Brabant. The study bears testimony to his democratic and rationalist state of mind, as well as to his attachment to Brabant. In 1785 he wrote Emperor Joseph II in Vienna a letter denouncing the disregard of the Dutch language.

paragraph: Verlooy’s most influential study on this subject appeared only two years later: the clandestine "Essay on the disregard of the native language in the Netherlands", (in Dutch: "Verhandeling op d’onacht der moederlyke tael in de Nederlanden"). His point of view was one of a patriot and a democrat. He deeply regretted the worrisome situation of culture and literature in the Netherlands. He noticed that the Netherlands couldn’t compete in cultural matters with the French, the English, the Germans and the Italians, because the upper class and the intellectuals while adopting French neglected the language of the people, Dutch. This phenomenon first occurred when the Burgundian dukes ruled over the Netherlands and it reached its climax in Brussels, where the native language of 95% of the population was and remained nonetheless Dutch. Verlooy even noticed that some Flemings pretended to speak Dutch only poorly to make believe they had been educated in French. The writings of intellectuals who wrote in French but had French as a second language couldn’t compete with those by native French speakers, the result being that the writing style in French of the first was inferior to that of the latter. Verlooy considered the Dutch native language therefore as the only language in which the people could be cultivated and made to think for themselves. People should be aware of their history, the value of their language and their ancient democratic institutions. The language of a small people could be predestined for an important future. The awakening of the national sentiment would result in a political renaissance. Therefore, where Dutch is the language of the people, French should no longer be the language of the upper class, the intellectuals and the scientists, especially in Brussels. One could even consider the prohibition of all education in French. Fairytales in the primary section should be substituted by lectures treating subjects such as history and laws and charters of the Netherlands. In the secondary section, the French and Greek language would be optional, while as much time and care for the study of Dutch as that for the study of Latin would be taken. This whole programme would be accomplished by a mighty social class ready to claim its rights: the bourgeoisie, a class which will have to claim all rights for its language - the Dutch language of the people. To accept the benefit for the people as a criterion, to want to elevate the political awareness of the people and to want to remind them of the urban democracies in the Netherlands in former times, was in fact in 1788 quite an innovative idea, which made Verlooy anticipate modern thinking for about a century.

paragraph: Section::::Brabant Revolution.

paragraph: From the end of 1787 or beginning of 1788 on, he was regularly in contact with another advocate, Jan Frans Vonck. Vonck organised meetings with a group of advocates, usually at this home: Pieter Emmanuel de Lausnay, Martinus J.F. De Brouwer and Willem Willems. The meetings were in the Dutch language.

paragraph: In the spring of 1789, Verlooy founded with Jan Frans Vonck the secret society "Pro Aris et Focis" (for Altar and Hearth), in order to prepare a rebellion against the emperor. In the fall of 1789 he became a member of the "Committee of Brussels" of the "Democrats" (with J.J. Torfs, Pieter Emmanual de Lausnay, J.Bpt.D. 't Kint, A. Daubremez, C.A. Fisco and De Noter). In fact, it is Verlooy who made the proposal to Vonck to organise a secret society with the name "Pro Aris et Focis" tasked with the liberation of the "Belgian" provinces from Austrian Habsburg despotism. They would simultaneously organise the rebellion in the cities and the emigration of patriots who would create an army willing to invade the homeland, which would also be the sign for a general revolt. Verlooy justified his intentions in a Dutch pamphlet and gave an explanation of his project: “three million Belgians suffer slavery... among them not less than 700.000 are fit enough to fight and are dissatisfied; ... one could easily find 300.000 people willing to risk their goods and their blood for their homeland. But in the same way as a prison guard is able to easily keep 200.000 prisoners in control - as they are locked up in isolation - a small number of soldiers - hardly 13.000 of them - separate us and keep us in slavery.” Vonck translated the regulations of the society into French, as they had first been drawn up in Dutch, and made them commonly known in all Walloon towns and cities. Thus, the initiative of Vonck and Verlooy led from a speechless but profound irritation and isolated riots to an overt and organised revolution.

paragraph: During the Brabant Revolution which then started, he was thus part of the most liberal faction of the revolutionaries, known as the Vonckisten, named after their leader.

paragraph: Verlooy’s "Projet raisonné d’union des Provinces Belgiques" had been published on 21 January 1790. The pamphlet was instantly seized by order of the Counsellor-General Prosecutor of Brabant. Verlooy was pleading for a kind of suffrage, based on ownership of property or tax assessment but which excluded few citizens of the right to vote, while allowing separated elections for the nobility and for the clergy. He also stated precisely that the deputies of the social classes would sit together in the "Grand Conseil National". Verlooy became Vice President of the "Société Patriotique", founded to take the lead for democratic action, and signed immediately after Vonck, the famous "Adresse" from 15 March 1790 requesting better representation of the population in the States. This "Adresse" would force him to run away and leave Brussels for Namur in the footsteps of Vonck, and afterwards to seek temporary shelter in Givet, Rijsel and Dowaai where he tried to reconcile the two main factions of the Brabant Revolution: the rather conservative Statists and the rather liberal Vonckists. He also brought together the exiled democrats in a new secret society: "Pro Patria".

paragraph: Verlooy only returned to Brussels after the Habsburg governors were restored to power.

paragraph: Section::::Occupation by the French.

paragraph: Verlooy’s enlightened ideas facilitated his choice for collaboration with the French during their military occupation of the Southern Netherlands. The Battle of Jemappes reignited his revolutionary fervour and he passionately dedicated himself again to politics. He was elected a provisory Brussels Deputy and became one of those tasked with visiting prisons to liberate those detainees who could be regarded as victims of arbitrariness or "gothic and feudal laws". In the Treurenberg prison, Verlooy and the other investigators found only debtors. They also established that in the madhouses "several individuals were detained rather for inhumane reasons than any natural disability". In the prison of Vilvoorde, they discovered prisoners who were detained due to not well-founded verdicts.

paragraph: As a Deputy, Verlooy got into conflict with the majority of the provisory Deputies of Brussels, as he was anxious to establish a Belgian republic at once. Together with other radical democrats, he defended the immediate establishment of a central provisional government, whereas moderate democrats led by Cornet de Grez supported the election of a "Convention nationale". Both parties tried in vain to get the support of the French General Dumouriez, commander of the French army of occupation.

paragraph: When the foundation of a Belgian democratic republic seemed to be fruitless and as the policy of the French government proceeded from revolutionary intervention to annexation, Verlooy declared himself to be in favour of union with France.

paragraph: On 15 January 1793 he published a Dutch pamphlet of forty pages, "Zijn Geloof, Vryheyd en Eygendommen in gevaer ?" (Are faith, freedom and property in danger?), in which he accused the privileged whom he thought to have become partisans of Austria and who would have called for the return of the Germans. Verlooy supported also the policy of the French Revolution towards religion.

paragraph: In 1795 (18 Nivôse an III), he was appointed Mayor ("maire") of the City of Brussels. While the French were at war with the whole civilised world of those days as well as demanding enormous efforts from the Belgians whose homeland they were simultaneously reshaping, Verlooy and his colleagues had the ungrateful task to protect their fellow citizens courageously and with dignity against the abuse and the atrocities of the new rulers. Verlooy did not keep his function as "maire" of Brussels for long: he withdrew from public life as soon as he saw through the real nature of the new regime and because he was also experiencing health problems. His health was already failing as a result of it being overstrained by what he went through during the "Pro Aris et Focis" episode of his life. He resigned as Mayor on the 10 Prairial, an III. On 1 November 1795 (10 Brumaire an IV), he led a delegation of Belgian patriots who came to find the representatives of the people, the "commissaires" of the Pérès and Portiez de l’Oise government who had arrived in Brussels with a mission, in order to "warn them about the abuse with which the appointment to public functions is made and is renewed since the victorious arrival of the republican troops ...". Appointed Judge of the Civil Court of the Department of the Dijle on 7 Frimair an IV (28 November 1795), Verlooy was forced to refuse this public function because of his health.

paragraph: Verlooy died on 15 Floréal, an V (4 May 1797). His death had hardly been noticed in Brussels.

paragraph: Section::::Influence.

paragraph: In 1829, the Dutch professor J.M. Schrant, reprinted the "Verhandeling op het niet achten der moederlijke tael in de Nederlanden, door een Brusselschen advocaat", in defence of the linguistic politics of King William I of the Netherlands. After the Belgian Revolution in 1830), another publicist, Adolphe Levae, blamed Verlooy for having voted for the union of Belgium with France. The historians of the Flemish Movement discovered around the 1900s that Verlooy was a unique advocate of the Dutch language. P. Hamelius mentioned him in his "Histoire politique et littéraire du mouvement flamand" (completed in 1894) and P. Fredericq did the same in his "Schets eener geschiedenis der Vlaamsche beweging" (published in 1906).

paragraph: If Verlooy was a forerunner of the Flemish movement, his attitude towards the linguistic struggle was closely linked with profoundly democratic opinions and ideas.

paragraph: Jan Baptist Verlooy was an advocate of the Dutch language and has hence been regarded as the founder of the Flemish movement. Nevertheless, he did not think about Flanders as his native country, but about Brabant and on a larger scale the whole of the Netherlands.

paragraph: Section::::Published works.

paragraph: Published works by Verlooy are, amongst others, the "Codex Brabanticus" and the "Verhandeling op d’onacht der moederlyke tael in de Nederlanden".

paragraph: Jean-Antoine de Baïf

paragraph: Jean Antoine de Baïf (19 February 1532 – 19 September 1589) was a French poet and member of the "Pléiade".

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in Venice, the natural son of the scholar Lazare de Baïf, who was at that time French ambassador at Venice. Thanks, perhaps, to the surroundings of his childhood, he grew up an enthusiast for the fine arts, and surpassed in zeal all the leaders of the Renaissance in France. His father spared no pains to secure the best possible education for his son. The boy was taught Latin by Charles Estienne, and Greek by Ange Vergèce, the Cretan scholar and calligraphist who designed Greek types for Francis I.

paragraph: When he was eleven years old he was put under the care of the famous Jean Daurat. Ronsard, who was eight years his senior, now began to share his studies. Claude Binet tells how young Baïf, bred on Latin and Greek, smoothed out the tiresome beginnings of the Greek language for Ronsard, who in return initiated his companion into the mysteries of French versification.

paragraph: Baïf possessed an extraordinary facility, and the mass of his work has injured his reputation. Besides a number of volumes of short poems of an amorous or congratulatory kind, he translated or paraphrased various pieces from Bion of Smyrna, Moschus, Theocritus, Anacreon, Catullus and Martial. He resided in Paris, and enjoyed the continued favor of the court. In 1570, in conjunction with the composer Joachim Thibault de Courville, with royal blessing and financial backing, he founded the "Académie de musique et de poésie", with the idea of establishing a closer union between music and poetry; his house became famous for the concerts which he gave, entertainments which Charles IX and Henry III frequently attended. Composers such as Claude Le Jeune, who was to become the most influential musician in France in the late 16th century, and Jacques Mauduit, who carried the Academie's ideas into the 17th century, soon joined the group, which remained secretive as to its intents and techniques.

paragraph: Baïf elaborated a system for regulating French versification by quantity, a system which came to be known as "vers mesurés", or "vers mesurés à l'antique". In the general idea of regulating versification by quantity, he was not a pioneer. Jacques de la Taille had written in 1562 the "Maniére de faire des vers en français comme en grec et en Latin" (printed 1573), and other poets had made experiments in the same direction; however, in his specific attempt to recapture the ancient Greek and Latin ethical effect of poetry on its hearers, and in applying the metrical innovations to music, he created something entirely new.

paragraph: Baïf's innovations also included a line of 15 syllables known as the "vers Baïfin". He also meditated reforms in French spelling.

paragraph: His theories are exemplified in "Etrenes de poezie Franzoeze an vers mezures" (1574). His works were published in 4 volumes, entitled "Œuvres en rime" (1573), consisting of "Amours, Jeux, Passetemps, et Poemes", containing, among much that is now hardly readable, some pieces of infinite grace and delicacy. His sonnet on the "Roman de la Rose" was said to contain the whole argument of that celebrated work, and Colletet says it was on everybody's lips.

paragraph: He also wrote a celebrated sonnet in praise of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Baïf was the author of two comedies, "L'Eunuque", 1565 (published 1573), a free translation of Terence's "Eunuchus", and "Le Brave" (1567), an imitation of the "Miles Gloriosus", in which the characters of Plautus are turned into Frenchmen, the action taking place at Orléans. Baïf published a collection of Latin verse in 1577, and in 1576 a popular volume of "Mimes, enseignemens et proverbes".

paragraph: Eleanor of Woodstock

paragraph: Eleanor of Woodstock (18 June 1318 – 22 April 1355) was an English princess and Duchess consort of Guelders by marriage. She was regent of Guelders as the guardian of her minor son from 1343 until 1344.

paragraph: Eleanor was born at Woodstock Palace in Oxfordshire to King Edward II of England and his queen Isabella of France. She was a younger sister of Edward III of England and the second wife of Reginald II of Guelders, "the Black". Eleanor's maternal grandfather was King Philip the Fair of France.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Early life.

paragraph: Eleanor was named after her paternal grandmother, Eleanor of Castile. £333 was given for her churching by her father. In 1324 she was taken into care by her cousin Eleanor de Clare then sent to the care of Ralph de Monthermer and Isabella Hastings with her younger sister Joan of the Tower at Pleshey. In 1325, there were negotiations between England and Castile for Eleanor to be betrothed to Alphonso XI of Castile, but this fell through due to the dowry.

paragraph: Eleanor was reunited with her mother and in 1330 negotiations were made by her mother for her and her brother John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall to marry a son and daughter of her relative Philip VI of France, however they fell through also.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Duchess of Guelders.

paragraph: In May 1332 Eleanor married the reigning Count of Guelders, Reinoud II "the black" (English: Reginald), of the House of Wassenberg (born c. 1287), a marriage arranged by her mother's cousin Joan of Valois. The groom, quite dark of colour and character, was a widower with four daughters. He was known for having imprisoned his father for over six years.

paragraph: As Eleanor sailed from Sandwich, her wedding trousseau included a wedding gown of Spanish cloth, caps, gloves, shoes, a bed, rare spices and loaves of sugar. She was well received in Guelders.

paragraph: Due to her unhappy childhood, Eleanor grew nervous and over-eager to please her husband, who tired of her and sent her from court (1338) by pretending she had leprosy. Her husband then tried to annul the marriage. Eleanor turned up in Court in Nijmegen to contest the annulment, and proceeded to strip down, proving she was no leper, and thus forcing her husband to take her back. He died from a fall from his horse on 12 October 1343.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Regency.

paragraph: After the death of her spouse, Eleanor became the regent of Guelders for her nine-year-old son Reginald. Her regency was official and formal, but she had trouble in getting it recognized, and in 1344, she was forced to resign her post as regent. She and Reginald later quarreled over making peace with his younger brother, and he confiscated her lands.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Death and burial.

paragraph: On 22 April 1355, twelve years after she became a widow, Eleanor died in poverty in a Cistercian convent aged 36. She had been too proud to ask her brother Edward III for help and was buried in Deventer Abbey. Her tombstone had the simple inscription ELEANOR on it; however, in England, on the south side of Queen Philippa of Hainault's tomb in Westminster Abbey there is an image of her and her husband.

paragraph: Section::::Issue.

paragraph: Eleanor had two sons:
