paragraph: Soedarpo Sastrosatomo

paragraph: Soedarpo Sastrosatomo (30 June 1920 – 22 October 2007) was an Indonesian businessman, diplomat and journalist. He was the founder of Bank Niaga and the shipping firm .

paragraph: Originating from a Javanese family, Soedarpo was active in the Indonesian nationalist movement during his education and later became a press officer for the government. After some time as a diplomat in the United States, he started his own business of distribution and shipping, later expanding to financial services and eventually becoming one of the most successful businessmen in Indonesia.

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

paragraph: Soedarpo was born in Pangkalan Susu, in what is today Langkat Regency of North Sumatra on 30 June 1920, the seventh of nine siblings. He was of Javanese origins, and his father was a clerk for the civil administration of Dutch East Indies. As a child, his family moved to Medan, where he went to elementary school. Following his father's death in 1929, Soedarpo's family moved to Yogyakarta, where Soedarpo began his education at an Algemene Middelbare School. By the 1930s, he and his older brother Soebadio moved to Batavia where they enrolled in medical studies. During their time in Batavia, both siblings were active in liberal and radical Indonesian nationalist organizations, and were influenced by Sutan Sjahrir.

paragraph: In 1943, the brothers and Soedjatmoko went directly to Sukarno to criticize his cooperation with the Japanese occupiers. Also in that year, he was expelled from the medical school after participating in protests against the requirement for students to attend daily Japanese flag raising ceremony and bowing towards Tokyo. After this, Soedarpo withdrew from politics for some time, though he remained in contact with Sjahrir.

paragraph: Section::::Post-independence.

paragraph: Following the proclamation of Indonesian independence, Soedarpo began to work at the Indonesian Ministry of Information's Foreign Section, due to his relative proficiency in English. He was noted as Indonesia's "first government PR officer". Later, he and Soedjatmoko was sent as an envoy from Sjahrir to Sukarno in a successful attempt to find and persuade the latter to allow the formation of a government led by a prime minister. In another occasion as an envoy, he convinced Sukarno to negotiate the 1946 Linggadjati Agreement.

paragraph: Soedarpo joined the Indonesian Socialist Party upon its formation in 1948, and helped launch a Dutch-language weekly paper "Het Inzicht" in addition to working at English publication "Voice of Indonesia". He also worked at the Ministry of Defence under Amir Sjarifudin. Soedarpo was sent to New York as a press officer in 1948 and he later became part of the Indonesian delegation at the 1949 Dutch-Indonesian Round Table Conference.

paragraph: During his time in New York and later the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, D.C., aside from attempting to secure recognition of Indonesian sovereignty, Soedarpo was tasked with administering the Indonesian foreign exchange. He also became the Indonesian representative to the United Nations Security Council. He left diplomatic service in 1952.

paragraph: Section::::Business career.

paragraph: After returning from the United States, Soedarpo decided against working for the government and began working as a director in Zorro Corporation, a distributor company for Remington typewriters and RCA products owned by American Matthew Fox. While Zorro held monopoly rights for the distribution from the two companies, it failed to secure domestic distribution licenses, causing Soedarpo to leave the company and start the NVDP Soedarpo Corporation in 1952. After securing the import license, Soedarpo took over distribution rights from Zorro in a profit-sharing scheme. In 1958, he secured rights to distribute UNIVAC units.

paragraph: He also obtained contracts and import licenses for military vehicles. He borrowed money from Hamengkubuwono IX to purchase a 75 percent stake at Dutch-owned shipping company Indonesian Shipping and Transport (ISTA) in 1953, and became its managing director. The following year, he managed to secure lucrative agencies with German Hapag and Japanese Tokyo Senpaku Kaisha shipping lines to Indonesia. He also acquired Dutch stevedoring firm Stroohoeden Veem in 1956. In 1964, ISTA and the stevedoring companies under Soedarpo's control were merged into a single firm, Samudera Indonesia.

paragraph: Soedarpo also founded insurance company Asuransi Bintang and Bank Niaga in 1955. By 1986, Soedarpo controlled 21 companies. Dutch historian Thomas Lindblad noted that Soedarpo "reputedly became the single most successful indigenous capitalist of the Sukarno period". In the 1980s, the Soedarpo group of companies had the third largest sales amongst companies controlled by "pribumi" entrepreneurs. By 1997, when Samudera Indonesia stock was floated in the Singapore Stock Exchange, Soedarpo was its chairman. In 2006, Forbes placed him 37th in their list of 40 richest Indonesians, placing his net worth at US$ 100 million.

paragraph: In 1995, President Suharto awarded Soedarpo with the Bintang Mahaputera Pratama.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life and family.

paragraph: During his time at AMS, Soedarpo was a hurdling athlete, winning the Javanese hurdling championship of 1940. Soedarpo was also a member of Rotary International, becoming one of its district governors.

paragraph: He was married to Minarsih Wiranatakoesoemah, with three children, six grandchildren, and two grand-grandchildren at the time of his death.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Soedarpo died in Jakarta on 22 October 2007. He was buried in the Tanah Kusir Public Cemetery.

paragraph: Friedrich Weichelt

paragraph: Friedrich Weichelt (December 1894 – November 1961) was a leading German explosives engineer. He came to wider prominence on account of his training work and on account of various practical publications that he produced. After the end of the Second World War he began a long association with the newly established , where he taught till his death in 1961.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Friedrich Weichelt was born, the son of a blasting contractor, in Döbeln, a small town a short distance to the west of Dresden in Saxony. He was educated to secondary level in the local schools and then went on to study at the Technical Engineering Academy in Dresden. Following his education he undertook a succession of practical internships, gaining experience of potash mining, stone quarrying, deep boring and tunnel blasting.

paragraph: A period of further informal professional training in the family business followed, after which he undertook a period of study in engineering. In 1924 he set himself up as a self-employed explosives engineer working for various manufacturers of explosives and ignition devices in the region (which has a long history of mining). He also acquired specialist knowledge in agricultural applications of explosives technology. This experience was later applied to opening up planting holes for large plants and small trees, so as to facilitate root penetration into the ground and to improve drainage by break up water-blocking substrata.

paragraph: In order to address a shortage, exacerbated by the slaughter of the First World War, of suitably qualified experts, Weichelt started to organise training courses on explosives technology, hoping to communicate his own expertise and experience to a new generation. In due course this was backed by a system of examinations and the issuance of state qualifications provided by experts employed by local ministerial departments for labour and the economy in the relevant regions.

paragraph: From 1934 he was also employed part-time by research institutes and on expert committees on open mine blasting at the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology, bringing to the work his expertise on producing and using explosives and detonation devices. From 1941 he worked at the as a lecturer on explosives technology. He also contributed articles and commentaries to specialist publications. He communicated his own research results and experience-based knowledge on a range of blasting operations in training sessions and on day courses. He passed on his theoretical and practical knowledge in "masterclasses" provided for the "German Research Institute for Rocks and soil" (""Deutschen Forschungsinstitutes für Steine und Erden"") at Köthen. In 1934 he published a pocket book for explosives technicians as a guide for workers in the sector. This formed the basis for an expanded version which in the end extended to three volumes and became a standard work for blasting contractors, technicians and engineers. This "textbook" remains a standard guide for the sector and is regularly updated. It covers matters such as the variables to be identified and applied when computing quantities of explosive, how to handle explosives and detonators, general safety requirements and other legal provisions.

paragraph: After the war ended, formally in May 1945, Saxony found itself administered as part of the Soviet occupation zone, which four and a half years, in October 1949, was relaunched as the Soviet sponsored German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Weichelt stayed in East Germany. There was now a huge amount of work for explosives engineers due to the destructive aerial bombing attacks on cities and industrial facilities during the latter part of the war, and the resulting need to clear away the remnants of the ruined structures and the rubble before rebuilding could be contemplated. In 1946 Weichelt resumed training in explosives technology at Halle, where he was based till 1948. Regular educational courses were now established under the leadership of Friedrich Weichelt at the "German Research Institute for Rocks and soil" (""Deutschen Forschungsinstitutes für Steine und Erden"") in Köthen. With the launch of the first regular courses in explosives technology a firmer differentiation was applied between blasting above ground and blasting below ground. Early in the 1950s Weichert moved the focus of his teaching activity to Dresden, which remained his base till he died in 1961.

paragraph: In 1950 an expanded version of his textbook appeared with the title "Handbuch der gewerblichen Sprengtechnik für Sprengmeister, Techniker und Ingenieure in der Industrie der Steine und Erden, im Baugewerbe und Brunnenbau, in der Forst- und Landwirtschaft" (""Handbook of Commercial Blasting Technology for blasting team leaders technicians and engineers, in the soil and rock industries, building construction and well drilling, forestry and agriculature ""). Frequently revised and republished subsequently, the work continues to provide a basis for training in the explosives sector. Reflecting the needs of the time, the basic training courses which he continued to provide focused in particular with then involvement of blasting technology in the context of clearing ruined buildings and rubble.

paragraph: In what became East Germany, Friedrich Weichelt was responsible as the senior explosives engineer in respect of several of the largest postwar construction projects, including the following:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Rubble clearance in large cities including Berlin, Magdeburg and Dresden

paragraph: Robert Elwes (painter)

paragraph: Robert Elwes (1819–1878) was an English Victorian traveller and painter, and the author of "A Sketcher's Tour Round the World" illustrated by engravings from his own works which he published from his home at Congham, Norfolk, in 1853.

paragraph: Section::::Family background.

paragraph: Elwes was the second son of Henry Elwes of Colesbourne in Gloucestershire. His mother, Susan Hamond of Westacre, Norfolk, brought as her dowry the estate of Congham, eight miles from King's Lynn. It was here that Robert Elwes and his wife settled, building Congham House in the late 1850s. Today only one wing remains following the disastrous fire of November 1939. The fire has meant the loss of much valuable material relating to the Elwes family, but the surviving work of Robert Elwes, in the form of paintings and journals, provides an insight into the life of this Victorian country gentleman, exceptional not only for the extent of his travels, but also for the meticulousness of his artistic and literary records.

paragraph: Section::::First world tour.

paragraph: Robert Elwes travelled extensively in his twenties and thirties, but in 1848 he embarked on a journey that was to take him round the world. Robert Elwes, aged 28, left England on 20 March 1848 on board the "Eclipse". This voyage around the world took two years and three months, sailing on 10 different ships. He painted and sketched many scenes on his journey. He arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, having crossed the Atlantic from Tenerife in 30 days. He explored a little of Brazil and then sailed to Buenos Aires, Argentina. He crossed the Pampas on horseback, a journey of 1,000 miles, crossing the Andes by mule and up the Pacific coast to Lima. He sailed across the Pacific to Honolulu and Tahiti and was shipwrecked off Tasmania in September 1849. Rescued by sealers and taken to Hobart with a cargo of 500 sheep, he then travelled overland across Tasmania to Launceston where he sailed (nervously) for Australia.

paragraph: He continued his voyage, visiting and painting in Manila, Hong Kong, Canton and Shanghai and started towards home on 1 April 1850. His journey took him to Singapore, Penang, Bombay, Aden, the Red Sea and the Suez. From there, he travelled overland to Cairo (the Suez Canal was not built until 1859). His journey across the desert was in a horse-drawn "van" carrying six passengers. He sailed the most direct route home from Alexandria via Malta, Sicily, Naples and Genoa. From Genoa he travelled by "poste" to Milan and Chur and then by steamer down the Rhine to Rotterdam and thence to London where he arrived on 20 June 1850.

paragraph: Section::::Family life.

paragraph: Soon after his return he married Mary Lucas, daughter of the rector of Edith Weston in Rutland. Over the next eighteen years she bore him ten children, five sons and five daughters. His eldest son Robert Hamond Elwes was the young lieutenant who met a glorious death at the Battle of Laing's Nek, South Africa, in 1881. His last cry of "Floreat Etona!" as he led the charge was immortalized in the Royal Academy painting of that title by Lady Butler. Following the death of the eldest son, the second son Arthur Elwes (1858-1907) inherited the Congham estate. The third son Gervase (1860-1895) was a tea and coffee planter in the Far East. The fourth son Richard (Dick) (1866-1841) ran the Elwes family tea estates at Kituldeniya in Ceylon and the youngest son Hugh (1869-1882) died whilst at school at Hunstanton. Of the five daughters, all of whom were talented watercolour painters, Evelyn (1852-1940) never married, Susan (1853-1934) married Gustavus Talbot who became Member of Parliament for Hemel Hempstead, and Milly (1855-1915) married Sir William ffolkes of neighbouring Hillington. Ysabel (1859-1934) married Henry Birkbeck of Westacre and in the 1930s created a village industry, Westacre Doll's House furniture, which was sold in the Burlington Arcade in London. The youngest daughter, Violet, inherited her father's talent and enthusiasm for travel, painting and sketching as she travelled to visit her brother in Ceylon and thence to Malaya, Burma and Indonesia. Violet Elwes became the first white woman to visit Lombok, Indonesia, all recorded in her sketch books and her diaries.

paragraph: Section::::Second world tour.

paragraph: On the second major tour of which a published account survives, Robert Elwes was accompanied by his wife in 1865 to the West Indies, visiting Panama, Jamaica, Dominica and Trinidad. His journal "W.S.W.: A Voyage in that Direction to the West Indies" was published the following year.

paragraph: Section::::Art career.

paragraph: Robert Elwes belongs to an inveterate band of 19th-century travellers and explorers. He was to reach many of the places on the South American continent which, just sixteen years earlier, Charles Darwin had visited on his inland journeys from "HMS Beagle". Sketching vigorously as he went, he would note with care the different varieties of flora and fauna to be found. It was an interest that was to produce a more renowned family representative in the person of Henry John Elwes of Colesbourne, FRS, who led many expeditions to Turkey, India, Asia Minor, Tibet and Nepal in addition to writing with Augustine Henry the multi-volumed "Trees of Great Britain and Ireland".

paragraph: The painter's journeys were conducted at an easy pace, dependent on the frequency of trading ships, coastal cruisers, the availability of pack horses and the hospitality of the local people. His contacts and acquaintanceships were extensive: letters of introduction ensured that he frequently lodged with distinguished company. However, his desire to see for himself the sights of which he had heard and read so much, contributed to some uncomfortable nights and dangerous encounters with bandits and unscrupulous guides.

paragraph: In his books Robert Elwes sought to record his experiences and observations for the future traveller. In the preface of his West Indies volume he explains his intention as informative, "for...unless a studies and reads up a country before he goes there he must often be liable to pass by objects worthy of notice without knowing it till afterwards... The lithographs have been done entirely by myself and I hope they will give some idea of the beauty of the scenery."

paragraph: Briefly captured illustrations though these lithographs may be, their accuracy and detail, together with the strength of tonal observation, give them a satisfying quality. From his sketches also came the larger watercolours on rough dark paper, distinguished by his characteristic use of blue and sharp white highlights. At their best these are fine, sensitive evocations of the familiar coastline and countryside round his home, contrasting with the exotic scenes he encountered abroad, from the craggy slopes of the Alps and the Andes, to the shining domes of Moscow and Constantinople.

paragraph: Robert Elwes seldom signed his pictures; however, he used his cipher "RE" with the R inverted as his signature on sketches and china and "R E" is how he was affectionately referred to by his family.

History of Limburg Castle

paragraph: Gerlach IV of Isenburg-Limburg

paragraph: Gerlach IV of Isenburg-Limburg (died 1289), also known as Gerlach I of Limburg, was from 1258 Count of (Isenburg-)Limburg, ruling over the town of Limburg an der Lahn and some villages in its hinterlands. He was the founder of the short-lived House of Limburg.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Gerlach was the son of Henry ("Heinrich") I of Isenburg-Grenzau and his wife, Irmingard of Büdingen, Countess of Cleeberg (now part of Langgöns). Gerlach was a namesake of a senior Gerlach of Isenburg who served as Vogt of the Archbishopric of Trier from c. 1130 to 1147.

paragraph: After the death of his father, Henry I, in ca. 1227, Gerlach reigned jointly with his brother Henry II over the paternal inheritance. From 1247, Gerlach took the title of “Lord of Limburg.” On May 22, 1258 the division of the inheritance was finally sealed: Gerlach won the dominion of Limburg and Henry II the Countship of Isenburg-Grenzau as their sole possessions.

paragraph: From a trip to Italy in 1231, Gerlach brought monks of the Franciscan Order to whom he gave permission to construct a monastery in Limburg. This makes it one of the oldest Franciscan monasteries in Germany (the first being at Augsburg in 1221). The monastery was later endowed by the House of Limburg.

paragraph: As the Lord of Limburg, Gerlach joined the opponents of the Hohenstaufen. He was probably involved in the looting of Worms in 1243/44. After the Great Interregnum (1254–1273), Gerlach supported King Rudolph of Habsburg. In 1276, he was commissioned by the king to confirm the Counts of Diez in their imperial fief.

paragraph: In 1279, there was an uprising of the citizens of the town of Limburg, and Gerlach was expelled from the city. After negotiations, he was able to return to his castle in Limburg, but he had to grant the citizenry far-reaching freedoms.These freedoms included a pause in the collection of taxes and self-jurisdiction of marriages and housing. In the case of a dispute between the House of Limburg and the city, it would be decided by the jury of the City of Frankfurt. Upon his return, Gerlach expanded Limburg Castle, building the residential tower which is still extant today.

paragraph: To secure his position, Gerlach sought dynastic connections with neighboring lordly houses, including Nassau, Westerburg, and Diez. His daughter Agnes married Henry I of Westerburg in 1267. Around the year 1270, his daughter Imagina married Count (and later King) Adolf of Nassau. By Adolf of Nassau, Gerlach was appointed Burgmann of the Imperial Castle of Kalsmunt in Wetzlar in 1287. On June 5, 1288 Gerlach, together with Adolf of Nassau and Henry of Westerburg, participated in the Battle of Worringen. They supported Henry of Westerburg's brother, Siegfried, the Archbishop of Cologne. Siegfried’s defeat in the battle had no significant consequences for Gerlach.

paragraph: Gerlach I of Limburg died in 1289 during his participation in a campaign of King Rudolph in the Black Forest. He was succeeded by his son, John I.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and descendants.

paragraph: Gerlach married Imagina of Blieskastel (died 1281). The couple had at least five children:

paragraph: Bolesław II, Duke of Cieszyn

paragraph: Bolesław II of Cieszyn (, , ; c. 1425/28 – 4 October 1452), was a Duke of Cieszyn since 1431 (until 1442 with his brothers as co-rulers), ruler over half of Bielsko and Frysztat (from 1442), and during 1452 sole ruler over one half of Bytom.

paragraph: He was the fourth and youngest son of Duke Bolesław I of Cieszyn by his second wife Euphemia, daughter of Duke Siemowit IV of Masovia.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: After the death of his father in 1431, Bolesław II ruled over the duchy together with his brothers as co-rulers, but under the tutelage of their mother. After the division of the duchy on 29 November 1442, he still held the title of Duke of Cieszyn, but in practice ruled only over 16 towns and villages in Cieszyn; the most important of them was Frysztat, which was obtained by Bolesław II only after his mother's death in 1447 and shortly after, received broader city rights by Bolesław II. He left most of the control over the duchy to his brother Przemyslaus II.

paragraph: Just like his brothers and father, also Bolesław II tried to be active in the international politics. Unlike his brother Władysław, who was allied with Bohemia, Bolesław II maintained close ties mainly with the Kingdom of Poland. In 1443 he supported Poland in his conflicts with Hungary, and in 1449 he was appointed judge in the disputes between King Casimir IV and the Bohemian nobility. However, Bolesław II's good relations with Poland didn't prevent the sale of the Duchy of Siewierz to Zbigniew Oleśnicki, Bishop of Kraków, which resulted in a war at Upper Silesia, who lasted until February 1447.

paragraph: Bolesław II sought to obtain independent sovereignty, and therefore in 1452 he swapped with his brother Wenceslaus I the district of Bielsko for one half of Bytom, where he planned to settle. But his plans ended with his sudden death on 4 October 1452.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: On 28 January 1448 Bolesław II married with Anna (d. aft. 12 February 1490), daughter of Ivan Vladimirovich, Prince of Bielsk (in turn grandson of Algirdas, Grand Duke of Lithuania) by his wife Vasilisa of Halshany (sister of Sophia, fourth and last wife of King Władysław II Jagiełło). The union had the approval of Anna's cousin, King Casimir IV, who give to the newlyweds a magnificent wedding gift: 2,000 florins. They had three children:

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Sophia (b. ca. 1450/52 - d. 1479), married in 1474 to Victor of Poděbrady, Duke of Münsterberg and Opava.

paragraph: BULLET::::3. Barbara (b. ca. 1452/53 - d. bef. 12 May 1507), married firstly on 11 September 1468 to Duke Balthasar of Żagań and secondly by 18 May 1477 to Duke Jan V of Zator.

paragraph: After the death of her husband, Anna cared about their son and daughters, and resided mainly in Frysztat.

paragraph: Casimir II, Duke of Cieszyn

paragraph: Casimir II of Cieszyn (, , ) ( – 13 December 1528) was a Duke of Cieszyn since 1477, ruler over Koźle during 1479–1509, since 1493 ruler over Wołów, over Pszczyna during 1498–1517, from 1506 over Opava, Duke of Głogów since 1506 (for life). Also he was Landeshauptmann General of Silesia during 1497–1504 and 1507–1517, since 1517 until his death, Landeshauptmann over the Upper Silesia.

paragraph: He was the eldest child and only son of Bolesław II, Duke of Cieszyn, by his wife Anna, daughter of Ivan Vladimirovich, Prince of Bielsk.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: After the early death of his father in 1452, Casimir II was raised by his uncle Przemysław II, who gave him the town of Bielsko and surrounding villages in 1460, at eleven years of age.

paragraph: Casimir II's first political intervention was by 1471, when he supported King Władysław II Jagiellon during his conflicts with the Bohemian nobility. Four years later (in 1475), Casimir II he attended to the marriage of Princess Hedwig of Poland (King Casimir IV's daughter) with Duke Georg of Bavaria-Landshut. When Przemysław II died in 1477, Casimir II had enough political experience and could take control over the whole Duchy of Cieszyn without any co-rulers, because all his uncles died without male descendants.

paragraph: However, Casimir II couldn't take the government over the half of Głogów, then under the rule of Margareta of Celje, widow of his uncle Władysław as her (but formally, because the facto rule was into the hands of King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary and Bohemia). Despite the claims of Jan II the Mad, Duke of Żagań (who was supported by King Matthias), Casimir II obtained a political goal when he was sworn ruler of Głogów as guardian of Margareta by the city council. However, this success was short-lived: on 8 October 1478, Casimir II's forces were defeated in Krosno Odrzańskie by Jan II's troops.

paragraph: Despite his defeat, Casimir II continued his pretensions and began negotiations with King Matthias. Under the treaty signed on 10 October 1479, the Duke of Cieszyn waived his claims by the amount of 2,000 florins. In addition, Casimir II was compelled to paid homage to the King on 12 August of that year in Olomouc.

paragraph: Despite the formal abandonment of his pretensions in Lower Silesia, Casimir II didn't change his ambitions, and in 1480 he obtained Pszczyna after his marriage with Johanna, daughter of Wiktoryn of Poděbrady, Duke of Opava (although in practice he could take formal possession of this land only in 1498), who was supposedly to be a great help to him in his plans to regain Głogów, then under the rule of Jan II. Another defeat, this time at the Battle of Góra, forced Casimir II to accept the definitely resignation of the disputed territory on 7 June 1481.

paragraph: In the following years, Casimir II approached to the Bohemian King Władysław II Jagielloń. As a result, after the death of Matthias Corvinus in 1490, he was appointed Starost General of Silesia. The Duke of Cieszyn he held that office until 1504, when the king decided to replace him for his brother Sigismund Jagiellon. However, when Sigismund inherited the Polish crown in 1506, after the death of his brother Alexander Jagiellon, the dignity of Starost returned into the hands of Casimir II. This time, he held the office until his death. The new Polish King gave Casimir II the Duchy of Głogów but only during his lifetime. Soon after, and by right to his wife, he obtained the Duchy of Opawa, who increased his domains along with half of Ścinawa (Wołów), who was bought by him in 1493.

paragraph: In internal politics, Casimir II showed hard-line stances in the fight against banditry in the duchy. However, his rule as Starost general wasn't count with great support in Silesia, especially with the Church, whose opposition was made clear in 1501, when the Chapter refused the candidacy of Casimir II's eldest son Frederick as new Bishop of Wrocław.

paragraph: A significant item in Silesia was the dispute between the Dukes of Opole, Nicholas II and Jan II. In order to end the conflict, in 1497 a meeting was arranged in Nysa, where were present Casimir II, his father-in-law Wiktoryn of Poděbrady, Nicholas II and the Bishop of Wrocław, Jan IV Roth. During the meeting, on 26 June, the tragedy occurred: Nicholas II tried to stab both the Duke of Cieszyn and Bishop Roth. Despite the protests of nobles and relatives, Casimir II issued the death sentence to Nicholas II, who was beheaded in the Nysa market on 27 April 1497. Duke Jan II, after hearing the news of his brother's execution, began to prepare a brutally retaliatory expedition against Cieszyn. However, the diplomatic actions of King Władysław II Jagiellon prevented the war between both dukes, with disastrous consequences to Silesia.

paragraph: The Duke of Cieszyn's political importance reached his apogee in 1512, when King Sigismund I the Old married with Casimir II's niece Barbara Zápolya (daughter of his cousin Hedwig). The excellent relations with Poland provided to Casimir II the opportunity of purchase several buildings in Kraków and the surrounding areas. Also, the king's protection enabled Casimir II to manage the complaints in 1514 of the Silesian cities, who accused him of incompetence.

paragraph: On 6 January 1515, Casimir II obtained from the Bohemian King Władysław II Jagiellon the diploma who certified his rule over the Duchy of Opawa, but only during his lifetime.

paragraph: In 1517, during transitional financial difficulties, Casimir II decided to sell the town of Pszczyna to the Hungarian magnate Alexis Thurzo for 40,000 guilders.

paragraph: Around 1510, Casimir II was involved in the political intrigues around the succession of the childless Duke of Opole, Jan II the Good, although he ordered the death of his brother Nicholas II years before. At first it seemed that the Duke of Cieszyn was the heir presumptive, especially when he was able to obtain in 1517 from Duke Frederick II of Legnica (another of the candidates to the Opole succession) the document confirming the right of inheritance over the property of his Opole cousin. Casimir II died before Jan II, who decided to leave his domains to George of Hohenzollern, Duke of Krnov (although perhaps Casimir II, before his own death, transferred all his rights to George: this maybe happened in 1518 after the wedding of Wenceslaus II, Casimir II's second son and heir, with George's sister, Anna).

paragraph: In 1527 Casimir II, as representative of the Bohemian king, went to Hungary, where he was a mediator between his nephew Jan Zápolya and Ferdinand of Habsburg. However, his efforts were unsuccessful.

paragraph: Casimir II was not only a skillful politician, but also a very good ruler. During his rule, Cieszyn was economically stabilized. Thanks to the privileges given by him, further development of the towns occurred, after he gave to them many privileges. He cared especially about the capital town of Cieszyn, and after the great fire in the late 15th century, he founded a town square which persists to date. In 1496, Casimir II established the current market and built a new town hall. By 1527, the Duchy of Cieszyn's value was estimated at 670,000 florins, but without overpassed the income of the neighboring Duchy of Opole. The salary of Casimir II as Starost General (1,200 guilders a year), and the incomes derived from the towns near Kraków allowed him to buy the cities of Mistek and Friedland from the Bishop of Olomouc in 1527.

paragraph: Casimir II died on 13 December 1528. It is unknown where he was buried, but it is assumed that it happened in one of the churches of Cieszyn or Opawa.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: By 15 February 1480, Casimir II married with Johanna (ca. 1463 – 24 July 1496), daughter of Wiktoryn of Poděbrady, Duke of Opava. They had two sons:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Frederick (1480/83 – June 1507).

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Wenceslaus II (1488/96 – 17 November 1524).

paragraph: Although Frederick was the oldest son, he was destined to the Church and died in 1507. The second son, Wenceslaus II, who was viewed as his father's successor, also died before his father, in 1524. For this, on his death Casimir II was succeeded by his grandson Wenceslaus III Adam, the only surviving son of Wenceslaus II.

paragraph: James Chisholm

paragraph: James Chisholm (died c. 1545), Bishop of Dunblane, was the eldest son of Edmund Chisholm, the first Chisholm to own the estate of Cromlix in Dunblane parish, Strathearn, having moved from the Scottish Borders. In his early years as a clergyman, he was a chaplain to King James III of Scotland; the king apparently sent him to Rome for some time.

paragraph: In 1482, after the resignation of Richard Forbes, James Chisholm became Dean of Aberdeen. From 1482 too, James was claiming to have received papal provision as Dean of Moray, an office he never seems to have gained possession of. He was still claiming the title when he was provided as Bishop of Dunblane on 31 January 1487. Chisholm was consecrated at an unknown date that fell between 11 July 1487 and 28 January 1488.

paragraph: Chisholm's long episcopate saw, among other things, the disastrous Battle of Flodden, a growth in the resources available to the cathedral, the addition of nine new chaplainries to the choir, and the addition of parapets to the tower and choir of the cathedral. In 1526, James partially gave up the bishopric for his half-brother William Chisholm (I); on 6 June 1526, Pope Clement VII provided William to the bishopric. James however retained the fruits of the see - possession and control of its resources - with a right to return if he chose; he bore the style "administrator of Dunblane" for some time after, possibly until his death, though such a style is attested only once, on 26 March 1534).

paragraph: That was James' last appearance in contemporary sources. James Chisholm's death cannot be dated with certainty, but it is likely that he died in the year 1546; he was certainly dead by 20 January 1546.

paragraph: Ashot Msaker

paragraph: Ashot IV Bagratuni (), better known as Ashot Msaker (, "Ashot the Meat Eater / the Carnivorous"), reputedly for his refusal to refrain from eating meat during Lent, was an Armenian prince from the Bagratid family. A fugitive from the failed uprising in 775 against Arab rule in Armenia, where his father was killed, over the next decades he gradually expanded his domains and established a predominant role for himself in the country's affairs, becoming recognized by the Abbasid Caliphate as presiding prince of Armenia from 806 until his death in 826.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Ashot IV was the son of Smbat VII, presiding prince of Arab-ruled Armenia. Smbat had participated in the rebellion against the Abbasid Caliphate, and had been killed in the disastrous Battle of Bagrevand in 775. Following the battle, Ashot fled from the family's traditional lands in eastern Armenia north to his relatives near the sources of the Araxes river, where he was further from Arab power and closer to the Byzantine Empire. There he also possessed silver mines, which allowed him to buy some of the lands of the Kamsarakan family and establish a new lordship around the fortress of Bagaran, in the province of Ayrarat.

paragraph: The demise or exile of so many princely families ("nakharar") after Bagrevand left a power vacuum in the southern Caucasus: in part this was filled by Arab settlers, who by the early 9th century had established a series of larger or smaller emirates in the region, but among the greatest beneficiaries were the Artsruni, a formerly middle-ranking "nakharar" family that now came to control most of south-eastern Armenia (Vaspurakan). At the same time, through skilful diplomacy and marriage alliances, Ashot managed to re-establish the Bagratids as the main "nakharar" family alongside the Artsrunis. As a result, in , Caliph Harun al-Rashid chose Ashot as the new presiding prince of Armenia, restoring the office that had lapsed with his father's death thirty years previously. The appointment was designed both as a counterweight to the increasingly powerful Artsruni, as well as a focus for Armenian loyalties away from Byzantium, where many families had fled after 775. At about the same time, the Caliph recognized another Bagratid branch, under Ashot I Curopalates, as princes of Caucasian Iberia.

paragraph: Taking advantage of the turmoil in the Caliphate after the death of Harun al-Rashid in 809 and during the ensuing civil war, Ashot was able to greatly expand his lands and authority. Ashot's rise was challenged by another ambitious family, the Muslim Jahhafids. The family's founder, Jahhaf, was a newcomer in Armenia who had established a considerable power base for himself by claiming Mamikonian lands through his marriage with a daughter of Mushegh VI Mamikonian, one of the Armenian leaders killed at Bagrevand. Ashot twice defeated the Jahhafids in Taron and Arsharunik. In the process he gained not only Taron (which Jahhaf had seized from another Bagratid, Vasak) and Arsharunik with Shirak (which he had earlier bought from the Kamsarakans), but also Ashotz, and eastern Tayk. Frustrated, Jahhaf and his son Abd al-Malik openly rebelled against the Caliphate by seizing the Armenian capital, Dvin, in 813, and unsuccessfully besieging the caliphal governor at Bardaa. Ashot defeated an army of 5,000 sent against him by Abd al-Malik, killing 3,000 of them, while Ashot's brother Shapuh raided the environs of Dvin. As Abd al-Malik prepared to march and confront Shapuh, the local populace rebelled and killed him.

paragraph: The death of Abd al-Malik "marked the victory of the Bagratids over their most dangerous enemies" (Ter-Ghewondyan), and left Ashot as the greatest landholder among the "nakharar". He further secured his position by concluding strategic marriage alliances, giving one of his daughters to the Artsruni prince of Vaspurakan, and another to the emir of Arzen.

paragraph: By the time of his death in 826, Ashot had effected a remarkable transformation in his fortunes: as Joseph Laurent comments, the "proscribed and dispossessed" fugitive of Bagrevand died as the "most powerful and most popular prince of Armenia". His possessions were divided among his sons. The eldest, Bagrat II Bagratuni, received Taron and Sasun and later the title of "ishkhan ishkhanats" ("prince of princes"), whereas his brother, Smbat VIII the Confessor, became the "sparapet" (commander-in-chief) of Armenia and received the lands around Bagaran and the Araxes.

paragraph: Samu Börtsök

paragraph: Samu Börtsök (15 March 1881, Tápiószele - 19 June 1931, Budapest) was a Hungarian landscape painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He began by studying law, but switched to art and became a student of István Réti at the art colony in Nagybánya (now Baia Mare, Romania), where he also came under the influence of Simon Hollósy. In the winter of 1905, he worked at Károly Ferenczy's private school. The following year, he made a brief study tour through Paris, Vienna and Munich. Two years later, he held his first exhibition.

paragraph: In 1908, he returned to Nagybánya, established himself there, and was among the first to open a permanent studio, although he continued to paint plein-air as the other artists did. Three years later, he became the Vice-President and Executive Chairman of the Nagybánya Painter's Society. In 1912, he and Réti created the first Nagybánya exhibition catalog. Ten years later, at Réti's request, he compiled a biographical directory of the colony's artists. He then became a teacher at the local art school in 1925.

paragraph: Shortly after, however, he began to be seriously ill. As a young man, when he was briefly a member of the Hussars, he had been thrown from his horse, which then stepped on his stomach. He had suffered from bouts of illness ever since, but they now worsened significantly. In 1930, he moved his family to Budapest, seeking improved treatment, but died in 1931; apparently from lung failure. His widow had to sell his paintings to pay off their debts.
