JAN (JANUSZ) II DOBRY (OPOLSKI)

paragraph: Jan II the Good

paragraph: Jan II of Opole () ( – 27 March 1532) was a Duke of Opole-Brzeg (until 1481)-Strzelce-Niemodlin in 1476 (with his brothers as co-rulers during 1476), ruler over Gliwice (in 1494), Toszek (in 1495), Niemodlin (again, in 1497), Bytom (in 1498), Koźle (in 1509), and Racibórz (in 1521). He belonged to the silesian branch of the Polish Piast dynasty which was the oldest branch of the first Polish royal dynasty.

paragraph: He was born as the second son of Duke Nicholas I of Opole by his wife Agnes, daughter of Duke Louis II of Brzeg.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Early political activities.

paragraph: After the death of his father and eldest brother Louis in 1476, Jan II initially shared the government over the Duchy with his younger brother Nicholas II. Soon, however, probably still in 1476, the brothers decided to make the division of their domains: Jan II took over the governments over Opole, Strzelce and Brzeg, while Nicholas II received Niemodlin. However, this division was only a formality as the two brothers continue to co-rule their whole inheritance.

paragraph: During his long life Jan II led the already small Duchy of Opole to a significant economic development. Not without significance was also his constant acquisition of lands in Upper Silesia, who became him one of the most powerful Silesian rulers.

paragraph: However, the first years of the rule of Jan II weren't successfully. Actually, in 1477 together with Nicholas II, the Duke bought Prudnik from Duke Konrad X of Oleśnica, but four years later (in 1481), under the pressures of Duke Frederick I of Legnica the brothers must agree to redeem the pledge over Brzeg since 1450.

paragraph: On 27 June 1497 Nicholas II was beheaded in the Nysa market at the behest of Duke Casimir II of Cieszyn, Duke Henry I of Ziębice and the Bishop of Wrocław, Jan IV Roth. After hearing the news about this events in Nysa, Jan II decided to avenge his brother's death and began to gather troops in order to make a brutally retaliatory expedition against Cieszyn. Only through the diplomatic moves of King Władysław II Jagiellon and the absence of support for the war between his neighbors, prevented the civil war in Silesia.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Expansion of the Duchy.

paragraph: Since the 1490s Jan II began a considerable development of his domains. Thanks to the increased debts of several Silesian rulers, within only a few years the Duke of Opole became in the owner of almost the majority of Upper Silesia. Only Cieszyn maintain his independence, while Oświęcim was annexed by Poland. The growth of the Duchy of Opole was slowly but continuously: in 1494 was bought Gliwice and one year later (in 1495) Toszek was also bought. In 1497, after the death of Nicholas II, Niemodlin was inherited by Jan II, in 1498 was bought Bytom, and the Świerklaniec castle with his privileges, and finally in 1509 was annexed Koźle.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:The inheritance of Racibórz.

paragraph: After all the territorial acquisitions, only the entire southern of the Silesian border was governed by the Przemyslid Dukes of Racibórz. The first contract of mutual inheritance with the then reign Duke Jan V was made around 1478, probably on occasion of the marriage between Jan V and Magdalena of Opole, Jan II's sister. However, was only after the unexpected deaths of Jan V's older sons (and Jan II's nephews) Nicholas VI and Jan VI in 1506 and the taking of the youngest and only surviving brother, Valentin, of the full government over Racibórz, when was revived the old treaty with the Duke of Opole.

paragraph: The formal contract of mutual inheritance was performed in 1511 between the childless Duke Valentin and Jan II. The contract, who counted with the approval of King Władysław II Jagiellon, came into force after the death of Valentin in 1521: Jan II inherited the Duchy of Racibórz, who was combined with the Duchy of Opole. The newly Duchy of Opole-Racibórz covered an area from the Ścinawa and Nysa Kłodzka Rivers in the West, the Sudetes and the Vistula River in the south, and the borders with Poland in the east and north. This represented a territory the size of 12,000 kilometers.

paragraph: Since the beginning of his reign, Jan II was in favor of the Polish culture, maintain regular contacts with Kings John I Albert, Alexander and Sigismund I the Old. There are even some suggestions that the Jan II knew only the Polish and Czech languages (the Czech was the official language in Silesia).

paragraph: Jan II probably preferred to stay in his domains and rarely leave Opole. There is only one known case when the Duke of Opole departed from his Duchy, in 1476, when Jan II went to Apulia as an envoy of King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary, in order to escort his bride Beatrice, daughter of King Ferdinand I of Naples.

paragraph: Jan II had a passion for hunting in the Upper Silesian forests. For this purpose, moreover, he used huge sums of money.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Privileges.

paragraph: Jan II, with due regard to the economic development of his domains seemed to granted many privileges, gained fame with the largest 72 articles of the called "Ordunek Górny" on 16 November 1528 issued in Opole, which was a privilege to develop the mining in the Duchy, which a considerably diminution of the Duke's treasure. In return for the privileges given to the cities, Jan II has received a part of the profits from the mines. Among the beneficiaries of the privileges was Tarnowskie Góry, who became in one of the largest and prospers cities of Upper Silesia. Soon before his death in 1531, Jan II also gave privileges to the Opole and Racibórz townspeople against the increased oppressions of the nobility (the so-called "Hanuszowy Privilege").

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Death and Succession.

paragraph: Jan II never married or had children. The reason, according to reliable sources, was he was impotent. Consequently, many years before his death, Jan II saw the competition between various rulers for his inheritance. Candidates for the domains of the childless were, among others, the King of Bohemia (firstly Louis II Jagiellon and since 1526 Ferdinand I of Habsburg), Zdenko Lew, Burgrave of Prague, and Dukes Casimir II of Cieszyn and Frederick II of Legnica. Initially, the slightest chance of be declared heir of Jan II was to George, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. However, the Margrave gained the support of King Louis II and particularly the favor of the old Duke of Opole. The death of Louis II and the succession of Ferdinand I of Habsburg in the Bohemian-Hungarian Kingdom put in jeopardy the chances of George of Brandenburg. Only after the sign of a treaty in Prague on 17 June 1531 and the payment of 183,333 guilders to King Ferdinand I persuaded him to accept the candidacy of the Margrave of Ansbach.

paragraph: Jan II, the last male member of the Opole branch, died in Racibórz on 27 March 1532 and was buried in the church of Holy Cross in Opole.

paragraph: After the death, the Duchy of Opole-Racibórz was inherited by George of Brandenburg-Ansbach. In accordance with previous agreements, the movable property was exported to Vienna.

paragraph: Denis Brennan

paragraph: Denis Brennan (born 20 June 1945 in Enniscorthy, County Wexford) is an Irish Catholic bishop. He has been Bishop of Ferns since 23 April 2006.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He received his primary education in Kiltealy National School, and his secondary education in St Peter’s College, Wexford. He then entered the seminary wing of the same college and was ordained there on 31 May 1970. In September that year he became a member of the Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament at the House of Missions, Enniscorthy, and conducted missions and retreats in Ireland, Britain and Newfoundland.

paragraph: He was the last Superior of the House of Missions before its closure in 1992 and then was assigned as Administrator of St Senan's Parish, Templeshannon, from December 1986, and was appointed parish priest of Taghmon in March 1997. He served as Vicar Forane for the Wexford deanery and as the diocesan delegate charged with child protection, and was a member of the diocesan Council of Priests.

paragraph: Section::::Child protection and payouts.

paragraph: Brennan is regarded by many as bringing a stability to his diocese after the disclosures of 100 episodes of child sexual abuse as described in The Ferns Report which occurred during the tenure of his predecessors, Bishop Donal Herlihy and Brendan Comiskey.

paragraph: In March 2010, Bishop Brennan told parishioners that the diocese had had to pay more than €8 million to settle 48 civil actions, while a further 13 actions were pending.

paragraph: Brennan said a request for financial help from parishioners was not about sharing blame, but about ""asking for help to fulfil a God-given responsibility"". He said people who suffered abuse were not the cause of the diocese's problems. Instead, the actions of ""individual perpetrators, along with mismanagement, poor understanding and/or lack of resolve"" were to blame. ""The Diocese of Ferns has been on a road involving the settlement of claims for 15 years now. It has been very much a team effort – various administrations and personnel, local diocesan and national church funding,"" Dr Brennan said. ""Up to 80 per cent of the road of justice has been travelled. As we look to complete this road, it will be necessary to invite the parishes to become part of the process financially."" .

paragraph: The diocese estimated it would need to raise €60,000 a year from its 100,000 parishioners over a period of 20 years. An alternative plan was to sell assets and properties, including the Bishop's House in Wexford, St Peter's College Seminary, or agricultural land. Diocesan officials insisted none of the money from weekly collections would go towards settlement costs. The diocese paid the balance through savings, remortgaging the bishop's residence, and raising a €1.8 million loan. It paid out a further €2.1 million on legal fees for abuse inquiries, and €836,000 towards the treatment of paedophile priests.

paragraph: Section::::2010 Vatican summit.

paragraph: Bishop Brennan took part (as did all active diocesan bishops) in the summit with Pope Benedict XVI and senior curial heads on 15–16 February 2010 to discuss the Ryan report and Murphy Report that were published in 2009.

paragraph: Brennan said that the Irish bishops' meeting with the pope was a "watershed moment" that would redefine the relationship between the Church and abuse victims, adding that a number of points regarding the mishandling of abuse cases by Church authorities were made by bishops "very honestly" in the presence of the pope. "The Holy Father (i.e., the Pope) has heard the many stories of Irish victims and I can also say they have been believed,” he told RTÉ's Morning Ireland programme today. "To have the Holy Father there for a day and a half, and the nine heads of the Vatican congregations shows how seriously the Church is taking the issue."Asked why certain issues such as the high-profile resignations of bishops and the findings of the Murphy report were not addressed, Bishop Brennan said the meeting was primarily a briefing session for the pope to help him formulate his forthcoming pastoral letter to Irish Catholics.

paragraph: The day after the unprecedented summit Brennan said that the issue of resignations was not on the agenda at talks between the Irish bishops and Vatican officials. He was responding to criticism from victims' groups who expressed disappointment at the failure of the talks to address several issues relating to the church's handling of child abuse cases.

paragraph: Wallace Tripp

paragraph: Wallace Whitney Tripp (June 26, 1940 – September 9, 2018) was an American illustrator, anthologist and author. He was known for creating anthropomorphic animal characters of emotional complexity and for his great visual and verbal humor. He was one of several illustrators of the "Amelia Bedelia" series of children's stories. He has illustrated over 40 books, including "Marguerite, Go Wash Your Feet" (1985), "Wallace Tripp's Wurst Seller" (1981), "Casey at the Bat" (1978) and "A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up and Tied His Horse to Me" (1973). Tripp also drew many greeting cards for the Pawprints line.

paragraph: Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Tripp grew up in rural New Hampshire and New York City. He attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA) where he studied graphic arts. He received a bachelor's degree in education from Keene State College and studied English at the University of New Hampshire. He then taught English for three years until choosing to devote himself full-time to illustration.

paragraph: Opie Read

paragraph: Opie Percival Read (born December 22, 1852, Nashville Tennessee; d. November 2, 1939, Chicago Illinois) was an American journalist and humorist. His bibliography lists 60 published books.

paragraph: Section::::As a journalist.

paragraph: Prior to 1887, Opie Read edited five separate newspapers, all in the U.S. South: the "Statesville Argus" (KY), the "Bowling Green (KY) Pantograph", the Louisville "Courier-Journal", the Little Rock (AR) "Evening Post", and the Little Rock "Gazette", ancestor of the "Arkansas Democrat-Gazette". In 1882, Read founded his own humor magazine, the "Arkansas Traveler", which he carried on after leaving newspaper journalism in 1887.

paragraph: Section::::As a novelist.

paragraph: Read brought the "Arkansas Traveler", a flowing pen, and a command of Southern dialect to Chicago in 1887. He would spend the remainder of his life in the Northern city.

paragraph: Read's bibliography shows that in his first 20 full years in Chicago (1888–1908) he published 54 separate books, of which 31 were novels, 18 were book-length compilations of short fiction such as that published in the "Arkansas Traveler", and five were works of non-fiction.

paragraph: As a novelist, Read is credited with bringing the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute" into print in his 1898 novel "A Yankee from the West", although the phrase seems to have been in verbal use before this and is often credited to P.T. Barnum.

paragraph: After 1908, Read appears to have gone into semi-retirement. His authorial productivity noticeably slackened during the thirty remaining years of his life, although he did publish six additional books (two of them juveniles).

paragraph: Section::::His reputation.

paragraph: Read's works carried titles like "A Kentucky Colonel" (Laird & Lee, 1890), "The Jucklins" (1896), and "Opie Read in the Ozarks: Including Many of the Rich, Rare, Quaint, Eccentric, Ignorant and Superstitious Sayings of the Natives of Missouri and Arkansaw" (1905).

paragraph: Read's standing was affected by the fact that many of his works, such as "The Jucklins", were published as dime novels. Many later critics have dismissed Read as a presenter of lower-class white Southern stereotypes for middle-class Northerners.

paragraph: Section::::Later Arkansas Travelers.

paragraph: In 1991-1992, advance workers for the presidential campaign of Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton called themselves "Arkansas travelers."

paragraph: Ranan Lurie

paragraph: Ranan R. Lurie (born May 26, 1932) is an Israeli American political cartoonist and journalist, a senior associate at the CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies) since 1990, a member of the United Nation Correspondents Association, founder and Editor-in-Chief of "Cartoonews", a current events educational magazine.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ranan Lurie was born on May 26, 1932 to Joseph and Shoshanna, who traveled from Tel Aviv to Port Said, Egypt, at the invitation of the grandfather (Rabbi Isaiah Lurie) to give birth of their first born at his home. (This event gave him an advantage when he met with President Sadat (1977 and 1979) as well as with President Mubarak (1984 and 1997) for interviews and portrait-sittings). Two weeks after his birth Ranan and his parents returned to Tel Aviv. His father was sixth-generation Jerusalem-born and his mother seventh-generation.

paragraph: Ranan Lurie's father, Joseph, born in 1906, was one of the first Jerusalem babies born outside the walls of the old city, in the new neighborhood of "Yemin Moshe". The grandfather Isaiah, petrified by the thought that he would be recruited into the Turkish army during the First World War, to be sent to Gallipoli, utilized his French citizenship and fled to Egypt where he became the president of the Ashkenazi Jewish community.

paragraph: In 1947, Lurie was appointed member of Israel's National Youth Handball team.

paragraph: Lurie was a member of the Israeli underground armed organization (""Irgun"") and was wounded in a battle against the British. He later served in the IDF reserves as a Major and senior company commander. He became a member of a small covert sky-diving unit of officers-only trained to operate behind enemy lines. He shared parachute training with the U.S. 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, the 16th independent Parachute Regiment of the British Forces in Aldershot, UK, and with the French Foreign Legion's Paratroop Forces in Pau, France.

paragraph: In July 1954, when Israel and Egypt were still in an official stage of war, Lurie infiltrated the flagship of an Egyptian navy flotilla anchoring in Venice, supposedly as an Australian journalist, "interviewed" the frigate's high ranking enemy officers and took photographs of their newly installed Soviet Radar. Lurie won the highest Israeli journalistic award granted "For Unprecedented bravery".

paragraph: At the beginning of the Suez War the British light cruiser "HMS New Foundland", which by then was familiar with the Egyptian-Soviet radar, sunk the Egyptian "Domiat" within minutes. It however saved 69 Egyptian crew members and return them to shore.

paragraph: About a week before the Six-Day War begun, Lurie had his fine-art exhibit in Montreal. He was recruited in the midst of his show to his reserve duty as a Senior Company Commander, a Major in the Fifth Brigade (Giv'aty) that was commanded by Colonel Ze'ev Shaham.

paragraph: Lurie's first mission was to protect Israel's "bottleneck" (the narrowest stretch of land between the sea and Jordanian Tulkarm) his original unit swelled to five hundred warriors (which now included tanks, anti-tank guns mounted on jeeps, a battery of Howitzer guns, a reserve company of Technion students as well as a company of army engineers.) After 36 hours of suffering heavy shelling he switched his force to attack-mode and concurred Tulkarm from the North.

paragraph: Then he received a direct order from General Uzi Narkiss, commander of The Central Command "To storm as far as possible in the direction of Nablus with the intent of reaching the Ramin Junction within ninety minutes - and make a bold sweep that will hopefully expose the Egyptian/Iraqi commandos that were trying to introduce toxic gas to the front lines." In this mission Lurie confronted the Egyptian commandos and the Arab Legion. He and his now tiny force pin-pointed the placing of the gas-equipped Egyptian commandos, and after eliminating them through fierce face-to-face battle, discovered the dreading skull & bones gas symbols on the cans available already for action. His escapades then were reported by the international media and lectured at West Point.

paragraph: At the end of the combat, he gained a different kind of world attention when he refused to deport the Palestinian inhabitants of the town of Anabta to Jordan, risking a court martial that would have involved Prime Minister Levi Eshkol Lurie's friend, who after Ranan's meeting with him face-to-face instructed Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan "To return immediately all the exiled Palestinian inhabitants and rebuild any of their destroyed homes". Defense Minister Dayan obeyed.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Lurie was the political cartoonist for Yediot Aharonot of Israel (1957–1967) after which he was invited to become political cartoonist and cover artist for LIFE magazine (1968–1972).

paragraph: In 1964, the Prime Minister Levi Eshkol unveiled Lurie's one-man show of oil portraits at the "Sokolov House" in Tel Aviv, in the presence of Joseph Zaritsky, Reuven Rubin and Meiron Sima. On May 23, 1967, the President of Israel, Zalman Shazar, unveiled Lurie's one-man show of oil portraits at "Expo 67" in Montreal, Canada.

paragraph: After LIFE magazine folded in late December 1972, he was invited to publish his cartoons in Newsweek. A short time after, he was offered a full page in Newsweek International (1973–1977), and later served as the Senior Analyst and political cartoonist for The U.S. News & World Report in Washington, D.C. (1984–1986). Later, he had his own full page in Time International (1994–1997). Subsequently, he had a full page in Foreign Affairs magazine (2000–2004). He was the in-house political cartoonist for The London Times, Die Welt (Germany), Asahi Shimbun (Japan) and started the first political cartoon for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (Switzerland), which is one of the oldest newspapers in print. According to the Center for Professional Journalism Studies, over the years, he was syndicated globally to more than 1,100 publications with a daily readership of 300 million. His works were handled by the New York Times Syndicate, King Features Syndicate and Universal Press Syndicate. In 1985 Lurie started his own "Cartoonews International Syndicate."

paragraph: He is probably the only artist who has been invited simultaneously by both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party to hold a one-man show at the U.S. Senate (October 23, 1973). Senator Abraham Ribicoff unveiled Lurie's exhibition on behalf of the Democratic Party, followed by Senator Lowell Weicker, who unveiled it on behalf of the Republican Party. Vice President Gerald Ford presided over the event. The exhibit took place at the Senate Caucus Room on Capitol Hill ""In Honor of Ranan Lurie"" and was sponsored by the New York Times publishing house.

paragraph: Lurie interviewed, drew and painted more than 250 world leaders. His drawings often include a small trademark smiling sun, sometimes drawn on the subject's necktie or other articles of clothing.

paragraph: Section::::Uniting painting.

paragraph: He created his "Uniting Painting", the ""Fine Art with a Mission"", a contemporary art project that originated from the United Nations Headquarters in New York on October 24, 2005 ("United Nations Day"). It was the largest contemporary painting ever exhibited at the United Nations (75 feet tall, 600 feet long); so big that it spilled over from the United Nations Headquarters to Roosevelt Island and was exhibited there and the United Nations for four years. Custom painted extensions of the art were installed by the government of the Republic of Korea on the border between South Korea and North Korea (2006). Another "Uniting Painting" installation now orbits (on a satellite) earth, and simultaneously another three sections were brought by Sherpas to the summit of Mount Everest (April 19, 2011).

paragraph: William of Champlitte

paragraph: William I of Champlitte () (1160s-1209) was a French knight who joined the Fourth Crusade and became the first prince of Achaea (1205–1209).

paragraph: Section::::Early years and the Fourth Crusade.

paragraph: William was the second son of Odo or Eudes I of Champlitte, viscount of Dijon (son of Hugh, Count of Champagne) and his wife, Sybille. He married first Alais, the lady of Meursault. With the consent of his wife, he donated property to the Cistercian abbey of Auberive for the soul of his younger brother, Hugh in 1196. He later married Elisabeth of Mount-Saint-Jean, but they divorced in 1199.

paragraph: William and his brother, Odo II of Champlitte joined the Fourth Crusade in September 1200 at Cîteaux. William was one of the crusader leaders who signed the letter written in April 1203 by Counts Baldwin IX of Flanders, Louis I of Blois and Chartres and Hugh IV of Saint Pol to Pope Innocent III who had excommunicated the whole expedition after the occupation of Zara (now Zadar, Croatia). They begged the pope not to chastise Marques Boniface I of Montferrat, the leader of the crusade who had, in order to preserve the integrity of the expedition, withheld the publication of the papal bull of anathema.

paragraph: The crusaders took Constantinople on April 13, 1204. They gave the imperial throne to Baldwin IX of Flanders who was ceremoniously crowned on May 16, 1204, but William of Champlitte joined to Boniface of Montferrat who became king of Thessalonica under the new emperor. According to the "Partitio Romaniae", a treaty concluded by all the leaders of the Fourth Crusade, the Republic of Venice received title to occupy, among other territories, the whole Peloponnese (in modern Greece).

paragraph: Section::::Foundation of the Principality of Achaea.

paragraph: Early in 1205 Geoffrey of Villehardouin, one of William of Champlitte’s old friends arrived to the camp of Boniface I of Thessalonica at Nauplia (now Nafplion, Greece). He had earlier occupied some parts of Messenia and now persuaded the king that even though the northeastern part of the Peloponnese was offering resistance the rest of the peninsula could easily be conquered. Geoffrey also offered to share the territory with William. Boniface I thereupon appointed William to hold the Peloponnese as a fief from him. Geoffrey of Villehardouin then paid homage to William and the two, with one hundred knights given them by the king plus each leader’s own personal retinue, set off to conquer the rest of the peninsula.

paragraph: From Nauplia William and Geoffrey of Villehardouin made their way north to Corinth, and thence along the coast of the gulf to Patras, where they took the city and the castle too. They continued down the coast to Andravida, where the local archons and the populace came out to meet them, priests carrying the cross and icons. The Greeks made obeisance to William as their new ruler. The fall of Andravida also meant the easy occupation of Elis. Wherever William met no resistance, he recognized the rights of the Greeks to their lands, customs, and privileges.

paragraph: The conquerors met their first serious obstacle in Arcadia, at the fortress of Kyparissia, which they were not prepared to take. The crusaders continued to Modon (now Methoni, Greece), but the natives of Nikli, Veligosti, and Sparta, together with some of the Melingoi Slavs of Mount Taygetus and the mountaineers of Maina, formed an army in order to oppose their advance. The resistance was soon joined by a certain Michael who is identified by most scholars by Michael I Komnenos Doukas, who had made himself ruler of Epirus (1205–1215). William quickly fortified Modon and prepared to meet the Greeks. The battle which decided the future of Achaea was fought in an olive grove called Koundoura in the summer of 1205. Here the well-armed and well-disciplined crusaders won an overwhelming victory over the much more numerous Greek forces. Michael fled from the battle-field and William in short time occupied Coron (now Koroni, Greece), Kalamata and Kyparissia.

paragraph: Although the peninsula had not been entirely overrun—for example Leo Sgouros still held out in Acrocorinth, Argos, and Nauplia—by the fall of 1205 William had assumed the title of "Prince of Achaea". The name was derived from the region of Achaea in the northwestern part of the peninsula, one of the first regions the crusaders had subdued. The "Achaea" in the prince’s title, however, was to refer to the whole Peloponnese. On November 19, 1205 Pope Innocent III, in a letter to Thomas Morosini, the new Latin Patriarch of Constantinople, referred to William as "princeps totius Achaiae provinciae" (‘prince of all Achaea province’).

paragraph: However, the Venetians, in order to secure control of the key ports between Italy and Constantinople, demanded that their rights granted to them by the partition treaty of 1204 be recognized. Early in 1206 they occupied Modon and Coron, expelling the Frankish garrisons.

paragraph: In 1208 William learned of the death of his brother Louis in Burgundy and decided to return home to France to claim the family lands. He left Geoffrey of Villehardouin as acting bailiff to administer Achaea until William’s nephew named Hugh should arrive to replace Geoffrey of Villehardouin as bailiff. William, however, died "en route" home in Apulia.
