paragraph: Eric Byrnes

paragraph: Eric James Byrnes (born February 16, 1976), is a baseball analyst and former Major League Baseball outfielder. He has played for the Oakland Athletics, the Colorado Rockies, the Baltimore Orioles, the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Seattle Mariners. He retired from playing in 2010 and is now an analyst for MLB Network.

paragraph: Byrnes was considered a player who relied on his speed and hustle. He could hit for power, but tended to be a "free-swinger" and went through hitting droughts. He was ranked in the top-three for best defensive left fielders in John Dewan's publication, "Fielding Bible." Byrnes was selected to the All-Time great Oakland A's 50th Season team in 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Amateur career.

paragraph: Section::::Amateur career.:High school.

paragraph: Byrnes's high school career was spent in the Western Catholic Athletic League, where he played for St. Francis High School in Mountain View, California. He regularly competed in Baseball and Football against Serra High School's Tom Brady, and Bellarmine College Prep's Pat Burrell. After graduating in 1994, he was selected in the Major League Baseball Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers but elected to go to college at the University of California at Los Angeles.

paragraph: Section::::Amateur career.:College.

paragraph: At UCLA (1995–98), Byrnes hit second in the batting order and played right field in a lineup that featured future major-league stars Troy Glaus (1995–97) and Garrett Atkins (1998). In 1996 and 1997, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Hyannis Mets. He was again selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, this time by the Houston Astros after his junior season, but again elected to stay in school. He finished his career at UCLA as one of the most successful hitters in Pac-10 history with a .331 career average and 75 doubles, a conference record. He was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Oakland Athletics.

paragraph: Byrnes was selected in the 8th round of the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft by the Oakland Athletics. In the 1998 season, Byrnes played for the short-season Southern Oregon Timberjacks, and the Class-A Advanced Visalia Oaks in the A's organization where he batted a combined .357 with 19 doubles, 4 triples, 11 home runs, 52 RBIs, and 17 stolen bases. In 1999, Byrnes continued to play in the A's minor leagues. That season, he played for the Class-A Advanced Modesto A's, and the Double-A Midland RockHounds and in 139 combined games, Byrnes batted .306 with 42 doubles, 1 triple, 7 home runs, 88 RBIs, and 34 stolen bases. Byrnes made his major league debut on August 22, , against the Cleveland Indians. He went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in his first games, playing designated hitter and batting seventh in the batting order. Byrnes batted .300 his first season, with three hits in ten at-bats. The next season, , Byrnes played 19 games with the A's. He hit his first home run of his major league career on June 9, 2001, against the San Francisco Giants. He batted .237 with one double, three home runs, five RBIs, and one stolen base with the A's in 2001. Byrnes played two games in the 2001 American League Division Series against the New York Yankees going hitless in two at-bats.

paragraph: Byrnes was also involved in a 2003 baseball game that included two significant base running gaffes in a single inning. With a chance to close out the Boston Red Sox, the Athletics had a potential rally stifled by two controversial plays. Byrnes was tagged out after failing to touch home plate after a collision with catcher Jason Varitek, who had blocked the plate before attempting to catch the ball. After the collision, a hobbling Byrnes shoved Varitek and began walking back to the dugout. Varitek picked up the ball and tagged Byrnes out. This play was then followed up by Red Sox third baseman Bill Mueller running into Miguel Tejada as he was rounding third (later in the same inning). Tejada then stopped running home and was eventually tagged out. The umpires called Tejada out because he was tagged as a result of not attempting to advance home, not because of the obstruction by the third baseman.

paragraph: In 2003, Byrnes hit for the cycle. In 2004, Byrnes had his best year with the A's, batting .283 with 20 home runs and 73 RBI.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Colorado Rockies.

paragraph: On July 13, 2005, Byrnes, along with prospect Omar Quintanilla, was traded to the Colorado Rockies for pitchers Joe Kennedy and Jay Witasick. In 15 games with the Rockies, Byrnes batted .189 with 2 doubles, 5 RBIs, and 2 stolen bases.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Baltimore Orioles.

paragraph: A little over two weeks later, and a day before the trading deadline, on July 30, 2005, Byrnes was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for outfielder Larry Bigbie. On August 15, 2005, Byrnes and the Orioles traveled to Oakland, marking the first time Byrnes played against his former team. After struggling against right-handed pitchers, the Orioles benched Byrnes and questioned his ability to be an every-day player. In 52 games with the Orioles that season, Byrnes batted .192 with 7 doubles, 1 triple, 3 home runs, 11 RBIs, and 3 stolen bases. In his combined totals that season between the Oakland Athletics, the Colorado Rockies, and the Orioles, Byrnes batted .231 with 22 doubles, 3 triples, 10 home runs, 35 RBIs, and 5 stolen bases in 111 games.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Arizona Diamondbacks.

paragraph: After the 2005 season, Byrnes was granted free agency. On December 30, 2005, Byrnes signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Byrnes stated that he was excited for the opportunity to play center field regularly. In 2006, Byrnes batted .267 with 37 doubles, 3 triples, 26 home runs, 79 RBIs, and 25 stolen bases. His 26 home runs led the Diamondbacks, as did his stolen bases, and his slugging percentage of .482.

paragraph: Midway through the 2007 season, Byrnes was rewarded with a three-year, $30 million contract extension with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Byrnes is one of a few players to have 50 stolen bases and hit 20 home runs in one season, having accomplished the feat in 2007. At the end on the 2007 season, Byrnes batted .286 with 30 doubles, 8 triples, 21 home runs, 83 RBIs and 50 stolen bases in 160 games. He led the Diamondbacks in doubles, RBIs, stolen bases, caught stealing (7), and total bases (288). Byrnes was also 11 in National League Most Valuable Player Award voting with 43 voting points. He was honored with a Fielding Bible Award as the best fielding left fielder in MLB.

paragraph: On May 27, 2008, Byrnes was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the 1st time in his career with sore hamstrings. Byrnes underwent an MRI that showed he had tears in both of his hamstrings. Byrnes returned to the team on June 23, 2008, batting leadoff against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. At the end of the 2008 season, Byrnes batted .209 with 13 doubles, 1 triple, 6 home runs, 24 RBIs, and 4 stolen bases in 52 games.

paragraph: On June 25, , Byrnes was placed on the disabled list with broken left hand. He was injured during a game against the Texas Rangers after opposing pitcher Scott Feldman hit Byrnes on the hand with a pitch. After he sustained the injury, he was replaced by Ryan Roberts. He was reinstated from the disabled list on September 5, 2009. He played 16 minor league games during his rehab stint with the Triple-A Reno Aces, batting .279 with seven doubles, one triple, two home runs, nine RBIs, and one stolen base. On January 15, 2010, Byrnes was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks to make room on the 40-man roster for Adam LaRoche.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Seattle Mariners.

paragraph: Byrnes had shown interest in joining the San Francisco Giants after he was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks, however, on January 29, 2010, Byrnes signed a one-year, $400,000 contract with the Seattle Mariners. To make room for Byrnes on the 40-man roster, the Mariners designated first baseman Tommy Everidge for assignment. The Diamondbacks are still responsible for the remaining $11 million on his contract he had with them before being released. Byrnes was slated to share playing time in the outfield with Milton Bradley at the time of his signing. Byrnes said this about being signed by the Mariners:

paragraph: Byrnes was released by the Mariners on May 2, 2010 after batting .094 with 3 hits in 32 at-bats, 1 run scored, 2 doubles, 9 strikeouts, and 6 bases on balls in 15 games on the season with Seattle. In a press release by the Mariners, general manager Jack Zduriencik said that, "Eric Byrnes is a tremendous competitor and a credit to baseball. We wish him only the best and expect him to land on his feet." This ended a disappointing stint with the Mariners.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Retirement.

paragraph: On May 13, 2010, Byrnes announced his retirement from Major League Baseball. He currently lives in a closed community at Half Moon Bay, California, with his wife Tarah and daughter, plays slow pitch softball and golf. Byrnes is also a passionate trail runner. He earned $11 million in 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Broadcasting career.

paragraph: During the 2006 post-season, Byrnes was an analyst for ESPN's "Baseball Tonight" show. He has also appeared on Fox's baseball pre-game show and "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" talk show. He was a guest analyst for the first two games of the 2006 World Series pre-game show and for some of the 2007 World Series on FOX Sports. During the off-season, Byrnes often fills in on KNBR, a San Francisco radio station. He currently resides with his wife Tarah, daughter Chloe and their bulldogs, Bruin, Mr. Hitch and Bella. During the 2007 MLB All Star Game at AT&T Park, he was in a kayak in McCovey Cove with Bruin during the pre-game and game itself for the FOX Sports broadcast.

paragraph: Byrnes also has had his own TV show, called "The Eric Byrnes Show," which aired on FSN Arizona during the Diamondbacks' regular season. The show featured behind-the-scenes looks at the Arizona Diamondbacks, as well as Byrnes' personal life. During the 2007 off-season, Byrnes began a weekly radio show on XM Satellite Radio, called "Hustle with Eric Byrnes."

paragraph: He worked in the booth with ESPN for the 2010 College World Series and is now a contributor to the MLB Network.

paragraph: On March 18, 2011, Byrnes was hired by KNBR to host a nightly talk show, holding the 7-10 pm slot, as well as doing a Giants post-game show. Byrnes began his talk show on March 23, 2011. Now Byrnes occasionally co-hosts the Mr. T. show with Tom Tolbert, and Ray Ratto. As of 2013, Byrnes also works as an analyst for select Pac-12 Network baseball games.

paragraph: Section::::Other Accomplishments.

paragraph: On April 22/23, 2019, Byrnes set a new Guinness Book of World Records mark for most holes of golf in a single day, 420 holes.

paragraph: Dubhghall mac Ruaidhrí

paragraph: Dubhghall mac Ruaidhrí (died 1268) was a leading figure in the thirteenth-century Kingdom of the Isles. He was a son of Ruaidhrí mac Raghnaill, and thus a member of Clann Ruaidhrí.

paragraph: Dubhghall was active in Ireland, and is recorded to have conducted military operations against the English in Connacht. In 1259, the year after his victory over the English Sheriff of Connacht, Dubhghall's daughter was married to Aodh na nGall Ó Conchobhair, son of the reigning King of Connacht. This woman's tocher consisted of a host of gallowglass warriors commanded by Dubhghall's brother, Ailéan. This record appears to be the earliest notice of such soldiers in surviving sources. The epithet borne by Dubhghall's son-in-law—""—can be taken to mean "of the Hebrideans", and appears to refer to the Hebridean military support that contributed to his success against the English.

paragraph: The careers of Dubhghall and his Clann Somhairle kinsman, Eóghan Mac Dubhghaill, exemplify the difficulties faced by the leading Norse-Gaelic lords in the Isles and along western seaboard of Scotland. In theory, these regions formed part of the greater Norwegian commonwealth. However, during the tenures of Dubhghall and Eóghan, successive thirteenth-century Scottish kings succeeded in extending their own authority into these Norse-Gaelic regions. Whilst Eóghan eventually submitted to the Scots, Dubhghall steadfastly supported the Norwegian cause. Recognised as a king by the reigning Hákon Hákonarson, King of Norway, Dubhghall was one of the leading figures in the failed 1263 campaign against the Scots. Although Dubhghall is last recorded resisting the encroachment of Scottish overlordship, the Scots succeeded in wrenching control of the Isles from the Norwegians in 1266. Dubhghall may have died in exile in Norway, where his son, Eiríkr, was an active baron.

paragraph: Section::::Clann Ruaidhrí.

paragraph: Dubhghall was a son of Ruaidhrí mac Raghnaill, Lord of Kintyre, the eponym of Clann Ruaidhrí, a branch of Clann Somhairle. By the second decade of the thirteenth century, Ruaidhrí may have been the leading member of Clann Somhairle.

paragraph: The little that is known of Dubhghall's father suggests that, much like Dubhghall himself, Ruaidhrí operated against the looming threat of Scottish overlordship of Argyll and the Isles. Although Ruaidhrí appears to have originally held power in Kintyre, the Scottish Crown seems to have expelled him from the region in the 1220s. In Ruaidhrí's place, Alexander II, King of Scotland appears to have planted Ruaidhrí's younger brother, Domhnall, an apparently more palatable candidate from the Scots' perspective. This dramatic projection of Scottish royal authority may have also resulted in the king's establishment of the Clann Dubhghaill lordship of Argyll which appears on record not long afterwards. By the midpoint of the thirteenth century, Clann Dubhghaill—yet another branch of Clann Somhairle—was represented by Eóghan Mac Dubhghaill, whilst Dubhghall himself represented Clann Ruaidhrí.

paragraph: Although it is possible that Dubhghall's power base was located in Garmoran and perhaps the Uists, there is uncertainty as to how and when these territories entered into the possession of his family. Later leading members of Clann Ruaidhrí certainly possessed these lands, but evidence of custody before the mid thirteenth century is lacking. In theory, these territories could have been awarded to the kindred following the Scots' acquisition of the Isles in 1266. On the other hand, the family's position in the Isles may have stemmed from its marital alliance with the Crovan dynasty, an affiliation undertaken at some point before Ruaidhrí's apparent expulsion from Kintyre.

paragraph: Section::::Alignment with the Norwegian Crown.

paragraph: In 1248, both Dubhghall and Eóghan are stated by the thirteenth-century "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar" to have arrived in Norway, with both men seeking the kingship of the northern ' from Hákon Hákonarson, King of Norway. The entirety of the '—an Old Norse term meaning "Southern Islands"—roughly equates to the Hebrides and Mann. The precise jurisdiction that Dubhghall and Eóghan competed for is uncertain. For example, the northern Hebridean islands of Lewis and Harris and Skye appear to have been held by the Crovan dynasty, then represented by the reigning Haraldr Óláfsson, King of Mann and the Isles. In about 1241, the dominion of the latter appears to have been defined by Hákon as the islands which had been previously ruled by Haraldr's father, uncle, and grandfather. Hákon, therefore, appears to have not only deliberately excluded the island territories ruled by Clann Somhairle, but limited the possibility of Haraldr becoming drawn into alignment with Scottish interests as some leading members of Clann Somhairle had been. Eóghan and Dubhghall, therefore, may have contended for all the islands excluded from Haraldr's allotment. It is conceivable that Eóghan and Dubhghall sought kingship of the same jurisdiction that Hákon had awarded to Óspakr-Hákon about a decade before—a region which could have included some or all of the islands possessed by Clann Somhairle.

paragraph: Although 1247 was also the year of Hákon's royal coronation, and it is possible that the arrival of the Clann Somhairle dynasts was a result of the reimposition of Norwegian overlordship in the Isles, another reason for their arrival may relate to the death of a certain Mac Somhairle, an apparent member of Clann Somhairle, slain whilst resisting an English invasion of Tír Chonaill in 1247. Merely a year before, Haraldr seems to have submitted to Henry III, King of England, and it is possible that Hákon had consequently recognised Mac Somhairle's kingship in the Isles in retaliation to Haraldr's acceptance of English overtures. If so, Dubhghall and Eóghan may have both sought to succeed their kinsman in the Isles. In fact, Dubhghall's father may well be identical to Mac Somhairle. Certainly, Dubhghall's presence in Norway suggests that Ruaidhrí was indeed dead by this date.

paragraph: An alliance with a ruler of the Isles would have certainly benefited Henry's ongoing military operations in Ireland, and it is possible that it was Haraldr's pact with him that had prompted Mac Somhairle's involvement against the English in Ireland. In fact, Clann Somhairle may have faced immediate repercussions for their alignment with the Norwegian Crown. For example, English financial records for 1248 reveal that Walter Bisset was tasked to fortify a castle along the Scottish coast. This castle appears to have been that of Dunaverty, seated upon the southern coast of Kintyre, which could indicate that Walter's Ulster-based actions in Kintyre were undertaken as a means to divide the Isles, isolating Mann from the Hebrides.

paragraph: Section::::Repercussions from the Scottish Crown.

paragraph: Whilst Dubhghall and Eóghan were in Norway, Hákon appears to have attempted to bring Haraldr back onside; and in so doing, Hákon gave away his widowed daughter in marriage to Haraldr. Unfortunately for Hákon and his designs in the Isles, the newly wedded couple were lost at sea whilst sailing from Norway to the Isles. Not only did this calamity deprive the Islesmen of a capable king, but it cost the Norwegian Crown a closely connected advocate in the region. Upon learning of the catastrophe, Hákon immediately sent Eóghan west-over-sea to temporarily take up the kingship of the Isles on his behalf. The fact that the thirteenth- to fourteenth-century "Chronicle of Mann" reports that Haraldr's brother, Rǫgnvaldr, succeeded to the kingship in 1249, could indicate that Rǫgnvaldr and Eóghan shared a degree of authority in the Isles. In any event, Eóghan was not only a Norwegian dependant in the Isles, but an eminent Scottish magnate on the mainland. Although the Scottish Crown appears to have attempted to purchase the Isles earlier that decade, Alexander II launched an invasion of Argyll, in the summer of 1249, directed at the very heart of the Clann Dubhghaill lordship. The apparent cooling of relations between Eóghan and Alexander II, along with Haraldr's demise, the resultant kin-strife over Haraldr's succession, and Eóghan's acceptance of royal powers on Hákon's behalf, could all have spurred the Scots' offensive. In the course of this offensive, Alexander II demanded that Eóghan renounce his allegiance to Hákon, and ordered him to hand over certain mainland and island fortresses. Eóghan stubbornly refused, and the unfolding crisis only ended with the Scottish king's untimely death in July 1249.

paragraph: [[File:Maughold stone, Hedin cross, ship.jpg|thumb|right|upright|alt=Illustration of an inscription of a sailing vessel|Detail from [[Manx runestones#Hedin Cross|Maughold IV]], a [[Manx runestone]] displaying a contemporary sailing vessel. The power of the [[kings of the Isles]] laid in their armed galley-fleets.]]

paragraph: Eóghan dearly suffered as a result of conflicting obligations the Norwegians and Scots. In fact, it is probable that he had been utterly dispossessed by the Scots a result of their invasion. Although the reasons why Hákon originally awarded him the kingship over Dubhghall are unknown; for whatever reason, the latter appears to have been regarded as a less preferable candidate at the time. Eóghan's apparent displacement at the hands of Alexander II, however, could well have upended the hierarchy of Clann Somhairle. For instance, a particular entry preserved by the [[Icelandic annals]] states that, within the very year that Eóghan was forced from Argyll by the Scots, Dubhghall himself "took kingship" in the Isles. This record could reveal that Dubhghall and Eóghan shared kingship in the Hebrides, or that Dubhghall assumed the kingship from a severely weakened Eóghan. In fact, Eóghan's actions of the following year—when he and [[Magnús Óláfsson]], a member of the Crovan dynasty, unsuccessfully attempted to seized control of Mann—could further indicate he was in dire straits.

paragraph: Magnús, Dubhghall, and Eóghan were back in Scandinavia in 1253, as "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar" reveals that the latter two took part in the Norwegians' royal campaign against the [[Kingdom of Denmark|Danish Crown]]. By 1255, however, Eóghan was reconciled with the Scottish Crown. The fact that Dubhghall was later regarded as king in Scandinavian sources could indicate that Hákon's original award of the title to Eóghan in 1248 was reversed upon the restoration of Eóghan's Scottish lordship. However, the record of Dubhghall holding kingship as early as 1249, coupled with Eóghan's attempt to gain control of Mann in 1250, and the fact that both men were identified as kings whilst campaigning with the Norwegians royal forces in 1253, could indicate that Hákon had originally intended for both men to hold kingship, possibly with Dubhghall in the Hebrides and Eóghan on Mann.

paragraph: Section::::Involvement in Ireland.

paragraph: In 1258, the fifteenth- to sixteenth-century "[[Annals of Connacht]]", the sixteenth-century "[[Annals of Loch Cé]]", and the seventeenth-century "[[Annals of the Four Masters]]" indicate that Dubhghall, at the command of a formidable fleet, sailed to [[Connemara]] on the western Irish coast, where he is stated to have robbed a merchant ship. No doubt as a result of this spoliation, the sources further reveal that [[Jordan d'Exeter]], the English Sheriff of Connacht, pursued Dubhghall's fleet and was slain along with many of his men in the culminating clash. Enriched with plunder, Dubhghall is then stated to have returned home from this piratical cruise. The next entry preserved by the "Annals of Connacht" concerns an extraordinary assembly of [[Aedh mac Felim Ó Conchobair|Aodh na nGall Ó Conchobhair]], Tadhg Ó Briain, and [[Brian Ó Néill, King of Tír Eoghain]], within the year. It was at this convention, at Caol Uisce on the [[River Erne]], that Aodh—son of the [[King of Connacht]]—and Tadhg—son of the [[King of Thomond]]—relinquished their claims to the [[high-kingship of Ireland]] in favour of Brian, who was then proclaimed high king. The latter was then in midst of campaigning against a temporarily weakened English [[Earldom of Ulster]], and closely allied with Aodh in his cause.

paragraph: The following year, Dubhghall again appears on record in Irish affairs, as the "Annals of Connacht", the "Annals of Loch Cé", and the "Annals of the Four Masters" reveal that Aodh travelled to [[Derry]] and married a daughter of Dubhghall, and thereby received a [[tocher]] that included one hundred and sixty [[gallowglass]] warriors commanded by Dubhghall's brother, [[Ailéan mac Ruaidhrí|Ailéan]]. The marital alliance between Aodh and Dubhghall was conducted at the main port within Brian's realm, a site indicating that the union—along with the assembly and naval operations of the previous year—was part of a carefully coordinated plan to tackle English power in the north west of Ireland.

paragraph: [[File:Irishmen (Royal MS 13 B VIII, folio 28r).jpg|thumb|right|alt=Refer to caption|Armed Irishmen depicted on folio 28r of British Library Royal 13 B VIII ("[[Topographia Hibernica]]").]]

paragraph: Unfortunately for these confederates, Tadhg was dead by 1259, and the combined forces of Aodh and Brian were utterly crushed in [[Battle of Druim Dearg|battle at Downpatrick]] in 1260, with Brian amongst the slain. Despite this catastrophe, the phenomenon of eminent Irish lords importing heavily armed mercenaries from the Isles and western Scotland became more prevalent in the later part of the century, and helped to even the military superiority enjoyed by English forces over [[Gaelic warfare|native Irish troops]]. The association of Aodh with Dubhghall appears to have earned Aodh the [[epithet]] "" (literally "of the Foreigners", but perhaps meaning "of the Hebrideans"). In fact, there may be evidence to suggest that Brian had also been married to a member of Clann Somhairle, perhaps a daughter of Eóghan himself.

paragraph: [[File:Haakon4.jpg|left|thumb|upright|alt=Refer to caption|Coat of arms of [[Hákon Hákonarson]] as depicted on folio 216v of Cambridge Corpus Christi College Parker Library 16II ("[[Chronica Majora]]").]]

paragraph: With the death of Alexander II in 1249 the Scottish invasion of the Argyll and the Isles came to an abrupt end. About a decade later, the latter's son and royal successor, [[Alexander III, King of Scotland|Alexander III]], came of age and took steps to continue his father's westward expansion. In 1262, the year after yet another failed attempt by the Scottish Crown to purchase the Isles, "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar" reports that the Scots lashed out against the Islesmen in a particularly savage attack upon the inhabitants of Skye. Thus provoked, Hákon assembled an enormous fleet—described by the Icelandic annals as the largest force to have ever set sail from Norway—to reassert Norwegian sovereignty along the north and west coasts of Scotland. Amongst the distinguished men stated to have manned Hákon's own vessel was Dubhghall's own son, Eiríkr. In July 1263, this armada disembarked from Norway, and by mid August, Hákon reaffirmed his overlordship in [[Shetland]] and [[Earldom of Orkney|Orkney]], forced the submission of [[Earldom of Caithness|Caithness]], and arrived in the Hebrides.

paragraph: [[File:Dubhghall mac Ruaidhri (map1).png|thumb|upright|right|alt=Map of southern Scotland|Map of Scotland|Locations relating to the expedition into [[the Lennox]].]]

paragraph: According to the saga, Hákon was met in the region by Magnús (by then the reigning [[King of Mann and the Isles]]) and Dubhghall himself. As the fleet made its way southwards, Hákon sent a detachment of vessels under the command of Dubhghall and Magnús to harry Kintyre whilst Hákon himself made landfall on [[Gigha]]. It is evident that Magnús and Dubhghall were tasked with bringing [[Aonghus Mór Mac Domhnaill]] and [[Murchadh Mac Suibhne]] onto the king's side. In early September, the reinforced fleet of Norwegians and Islesmen entered the Firth of Clyde.

paragraph: After peace talks broke down between Hákon and Alexander III, the saga identifies Magnús, Dubhghall, Ailéan, Aonghus Mór, and Murchadh himself, as the commanders of a detachment of Islesmen and Norwegians who entered [[Loch Long]], [[portage]]d across land into [[Loch Lomond]], and ravaged the surrounding region of [[the Lennox]]. According various versions of the saga, this contingent consisted of either forty or sixty ships—a considerable portion of Hákon's fleet. There is reason to suspect that this strike is evidence that the Norwegians and Islesmen were directing their fury at the territories of the powerful [[Stewart kindred]]. Furthermore, by penetrating into the [[Earldom of Lennox]], and possibly striking further east inland, Hákon's adherents would have been encroaching into the [[Earldom of Menteith]].

paragraph: Meanwhile, at the beginning of October, Hákon's main force [[Battle of Largs|clashed with the Scots]] at [[Largs]], and withdrew into the Hebrides. Once regrouped with the detachment of Islesmen, the saga records that Hákon rewarded his overseas supporters. Since Eóghan had refused to aid the Norwegians cause, Dubhghall and Ailéan were awarded his forfeited island territories. A certain [[Ruadhri of Bute|Ruðri]] is stated to have received [[Isle of Bute|Bute]], whilst Murchadh got [[Isle of Arran|Arran]].

paragraph: A commonality amongst some of Hákon's most prominent and steadfast supporters from the Isles was their close connections with Ireland. In fact, the saga reveals that Hákon had previously received overtures from the Irish, requesting the Norwegians combat the English in exchange for overlordship of Ireland. Although the saga reports that the king was eventually dissuaded from such Irish offers, and died in Orkney that December, the "Annals of Loch Cé" and the "Annals of Connacht" report his death in context of coming to Ireland. There is reason to suspect that Magnús had once been aligned with Brian; and the fact that the latter's ally Aodh was aligned with Dubhghall and Ailéan strongly suggests that it was Aodh himself who had requested assistance from the Norwegian Crown. In fact, the invitation itself may be one of the most innovative ideas in the history of thirteenth-century [[Gaelic Ireland]]. Certainly, Aodh's relationship with Clann Ruaidhrí, and his apparent overatures to the Norwegian Crown, illustrate the radical measures that certain Irish lords were prepared to take in order to overcome English dominance in Ireland. The fact that Dubhghall, Ailéan, and Magnús, were unequivocal supporters of the Norwegian cause against Scottish encroachment in the Isles, and simultaneously involved in Irish affairs, suggests that they were the unidentified men that Alexander attempted to prevent from entering Ireland just prior to the battle at Downpatrick.

paragraph: [[File:Southend, Dunaverty Bay - geograph.org.uk - 1025488.jpg|thumb|right|alt=Photograph of the site of Dunaverty Castle|The rocky headland where the scanty remains of [[Dunaverty Castle]] lay. The castle fell to Hákon in 1263, who later doled it out to Dubhghall.]]

paragraph: Although "Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar" declares that the operation was an overwhelming triumph, it seems to have been an utter failure instead. Not only did Hákon fail to break Scottish power, but Alexander III seized the initiative the following year, and oversaw a series of invasions into the Isles and northern Scotland. Recognising this dramatic shift in royal authority, Magnús submitted to Alexander III within the year, and in so doing, symbolised the complete collapse of Norwegian sovereignty in the Isles. Dubhghall, on the other hand, contrasted many of his compatriots from the Isles, and stubbornly refused to submit to the Scottish Crown. In fact, the thirteenth-century "[[Magnúss saga lagabœtis]]" reveals that he continued to resist, and conducted military operations against the Scots in [[Caithness]]. This source states that Dubhghall attacked the Scots whilst they were extracting a [[Fine (penalty)|fine]] from the Caithnessmen, and in so doing seized much of this treasure and slew many of the Scots. This amercement may correspond to one noted by the Scottish [[exchequer]] rolls in which two hundred head of cattle were extracted from the Caithnessmen. Whatever the case, in 1266, almost three years after Hákon's abortive campaign, terms of peace were finally agreed upon between the Scottish and Norwegian administrations. Specifically, with the conclusion of the [[Treaty of Perth]] in July, Hákon's son and successor, [[Magnús Hákonarson, King of Norway]], formally resigned all rights to Mann and the islands on the western coast of Scotland. In so doing, the territorial dispute over Scotland's western maritime region was finally settled.

paragraph: Dubhghall died in 1268. His death is recorded by the Icelandic annals, and various [[Irish annals]], such as the "Annals of Loch Cé", the "Annals of the Four Masters", and the "Annals of Connacht". The latter source styles him "[[King of Argyll]]", a title that may add weight to the possibility that Mac Somhairle was indeed his father. Whatever the case, Dubhghall's demise is not noticed by existing Scottish sources, and it is possible that he died in Norway. Certainly, Eiríkr remained loyal to the Norwegian cause, and was himself a prominent baron of this northern realm. From the 1260s, Clann Ruaidhrí disappears from the Scottish historical record. When the kindred finally reemerges in 1275, it is in the person of Dubhghall's brother, Ailéan, a man who was by then a prominent Scottish magnate, and representative of Clann Ruaidhrí. Unlike Dubhghall, Ailéan is not accorded any title in contemporary sources. Nevertheless, there is reason to suspect that the title "" accorded to an apparent Clann Ruaidhrí chieftain in 1318—a man possibly identical to one of Ailéan's sons—was that of Ailéan's lordship and inherited from him. In any case, it was during Ailéan's tenure that the kindred assimilated into the Scottish realm, and his descendants continued to be factors in Scottish history well into the fourteenth century. Another son of Dubhghall, Donnchadh, appears on record in the late thirteenth century.

paragraph: John Densmore

paragraph: John Paul Densmore (born December 1, 1944) is an American musician, songwriter, author and actor. He is best known as the drummer of the rock band the Doors, and as such is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He appeared on every recording made by the band. Densmore is also noted for his veto of attempts by the other two Doors members, in the wake of singer Jim Morrison's 1971 death, to accept offers to license the rights to various Doors songs for commercial purposes, as well as his objections to their use in the 21st century of the Doors name and logo. Densmore's lengthy court battles to gain compliance with his veto ended with total victory for him and his allies in the Morrison estate.

paragraph: Densmore has worked additionally in the performing arts as a dancer and actor, and written successfully as both a playwright and the author of two books on the topic of the Doors. The many honors he shares with the other Doors include a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Los Angeles on December 1, 1944, Densmore grew up playing piano and later took up drums/percussion for the marching band at his school. He also played timpani in orchestra. Densmore attended Santa Monica City College and California State University, Northridge; at the latter he studied ethnic music under jazz cellist Fred Katz.

paragraph: Densmore's drumming influences included hard jazz figures Elvin Jones (drummer for John Coltrane) and Art Blakey.

paragraph: Section::::The Doors.

paragraph: In the mid-1960s Densmore joined guitarist Robby Krieger in a band called the Psychedelic Rangers; shortly thereafter he began rehearsals with keyboardist Ray Manzarek, Manzarek's two brothers and Morrison in the group Rick & the Ravens. On the brothers' departure from the band, Densmore recommended Krieger join them, thus forming the Doors in 1965.

paragraph: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame webpage on the Doors observes that "As a drummer, Densmore had a creative, dynamic flair that lent itself to the Doors' surreal, kaleidoscopic music." In 2010 Modern Drummer magazine referred to his ride cymbal work as some of the most distinctive in classic rock, and noted "Working without a regular bass-playing foil … Densmore favored a lean, crisp, clear style in feel-good rhythmic explorations that, like the band's songs, gathered together ideas from blues, pop, jazz, classical, and Latin, Eastern, and African music. There are many reasons to love this slyly inventive, often underrated drummer." Together with Krieger, Densmore studied under Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar at the latter's Kinnara School of Music in Los Angeles.

paragraph: The quartet, after two years of work, became star attractions in 1967, and released six studio and several live albums, eventually selling over 100 million units.

paragraph: According to Densmore's autobiography, he had quit the band on one occasion in reaction to lead singer Jim Morrison's increasingly self-destructive behavior, although Densmore returned the next day. Densmore repeatedly suggested that the band stop touring, but Krieger and Manzarek were resistant to this notion. After the Doors' disastrous performance with a gibberish-spouting Morrison in New Orleans on December 12, 1970, the band agreed to stop performing live, and the concert was the Doors' last public appearance as a quartet.

paragraph: When Morrison died in 1971, the surviving trio recorded two more albums of songs and an instrumental backdrop for the late singer's recorded poetry. Densmore remained a member until the band's dissolution in 1973.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: Densmore formed a musical group with fellow ex-Doors member Robby Krieger in 1973 called the Butts Band. The group released two albums with two different lineups, and disbanded in 1975. Densmore left rock and roll in the 1980s, moving to the world of dance as he performed with Bess Snyder and Co., touring the United States for two years.

paragraph: In 1984, at La Mama Theatre in New York, he made his stage acting debut in "Skins", a one-act play he had written. In 1985, he won the LA Weekly Theater Award for music with "Methusalem", directed by Tim Robbins. The play "Rounds", which he co-produced, won the NAACP award for theatre in 1987. In 1988, he played a feature role in "Band Dreams and Bebop" at the Gene Dynarski Theatre. He developed and performed a one-man piece from the Donald Barthelme short story, "The King of Jazz", at the Wallenboyd Theatre in 1989. With Adam Ant, he co-produced "Be Bop A Lula" at Theatre Theatre in 1992. He has acted in numerous TV shows, most memorably as himself in the show "Square Pegs", working as a drummer for Johnny Slash's band Open 24 Hours, and in an episode of "Beverly Hills 90210" in 1992, in Series 2, Episode 23, where he plays Ben, Dylan's sponsor.

paragraph: His film credits include "Get Crazy" with Malcolm McDowell, "Dudes" directed by Penelope Spheeris, and "The Doors" directed by Oliver Stone. In the Stone film he was portrayed by actor Kevin Dillon. He also produced and co-scored the feature film, "Window of Opportunity", a dark comedy about corporate greed written and directed by Samuel Warren Joseph.

paragraph: Densmore wrote his best-selling autobiography, "Riders on the Storm" (1990), about his life and the time he spent with Morrison and the Doors. In the first chapter Densmore describes the solemn day on which he and the band finally visited Morrison's grave around three years after Morrison's death.

paragraph: As a member of the Doors, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

paragraph: Densmore appears alongside Krieger and Manzarek in 2012's "RE:GENERATION", a documentary directed by Amir Bar-Lev. It features Densmore collaborating on a new song with Skrillex.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.:Stand against commercialization.

paragraph: Densmore, Manzarek and Krieger, after Jim Morrison's death, allowed "Riders on the Storm" to be used to sell Pirelli Tyres, but in the United Kingdom only. Densmore later stated that he "heard Jim's voice" in his ears and ended up donating his share of the money earned to charity. In 2003, Densmore vetoed an offer by Cadillac of $15 million for "Break on Through (To the Other Side)" citing Morrison's historic and vehement opposition to licensing the Doors' music, notably their best-selling single "Light My Fire" for a Buick television commercial, as well as Densmore's own development of strong personal views on the subject. Densmore additionally objected to Manzarek and Krieger touring using the name "Doors of the 21st Century."

paragraph: In a subsequent court trial, in which Densmore was joined by the Morrison estate, opposing lawyers attempted to portray Densmore as un-American, a communist and an eco-terrorist. Notable musicians who testified in support of Densmore included Bonnie Raitt, Randy Newman, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Eddie Vedder and Tom Waits. Former drummer for the Police, Stewart Copeland, who had performed with Krieger and Manzarek in 2002 and 2003, also testified in Densmore's and the Morrison estate's behalf.

paragraph: In 2013 Densmore released "The Doors Unhinged", a book covering his lengthy but victorious legal battle with Krieger and Manzarek over their use of the Doors' name and logo in their touring, and Densmore's veto of the Cadillac commercial offer. Manzarek and Densmore reconciled shortly before Manzarek's death in 2013. Densmore and Krieger have since occasionally appeared together on stage again.

paragraph: Section::::Honors.

paragraph: Along with his 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Densmore, as a member of the Doors, was recognized in 2007 with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

paragraph: Also in 2007, Densmore and his band mates were awarded a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement.

paragraph: He and the Doors have been saluted twice by the City of Los Angeles, which in 2017 issued a proclamation at a public gathering in Venice Beach observing January 4 as the 'Day of the Doors' in honor of the 50th anniversary of the group's self-titled album release on that date in 1967. At the event, Los Angeles Councilmember Mike Bonin introduced Densmore and Krieger who ceremonially lit a Doors logo beneath the famed 'Venice' letters. A year later, on January 4, 2018, Densmore accepted a second proclamation from Los Angeles Councilmember Paul Koretz at the junction of Densmore Avenue and Morrison Street in Encino, Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley in which honorary street signs were unveiled.

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.

paragraph: Over his years with the Doors, Densmore used a variety of drum sets, including Gretsch and later Ludwig. He also used Zildjian and later Paiste cymbals.

paragraph: Osroes I

paragraph: Osroes I (Greek version of Khusraw) or Chosroes Parthian: 𐭇𐭅𐭎𐭓𐭅 (Husrōw) was a prince of Iranian and Greek ancestry. He ruled the Parthian Empire from 109 to 129, with a brief interruption from 116 to 117. He succeeded his brother Pacorus II. For the whole of his reign he contended with the rival King Vologases III based in the East of Parthia.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Osroes I was one of the sons born to Vonones II by a Greek concubine. He invaded Armenia and placed first his nephew Axidares and then his brother Parthamasiris on the Armenian throne. This encroachment on the traditional sphere of influence of the Roman Empire — the two great empires had shared hegemony over Armenia since the time of Nero some 50 years earlier — led to a war with the emperor Trajan.

paragraph: In 113 Trajan invaded Parthia, marching first on Armenia. In 114 Parthamasiris surrendered and was killed. Trajan annexed Armenia to the Roman Empire. Then he turned south into Parthia itself, taking the cities of Babylon, Seleucia and finally the capital of Ctesiphon in 116. He deposed Osroes I and put his own puppet ruler, Osroes' son, Parthamaspates, on the throne. In Mesopotamia Osroes I's brother Mithridates IV and his son Sanatruces II took the diadem and fought against the Romans, but Trajan marched southward to the Persian Gulf, defeated them, and declared Mesopotamia a new province of the empire. Later in 116, he crossed the Khuzestan Mountains into Persia and captured the great city of Susa.

paragraph: Following the death of Trajan and Roman withdrawal from the area, Osroes I easily defeated Parthamaspates and reclaimed the Parthian throne. Hadrian acknowledged this "fait accompli", recognized Osroes I, made Parthamaspates King of Osroene, and returned Osroes I's daughter, who had been taken prisoner by Trajan.

paragraph: It seems that the conflict with Rome had weakened Osroes I and strengthened his rival Vologases III—from about 121 there are few coins of the former and many of the latter. Osroes I was succeeded by his brother Mithridates IV, who continued the struggle against Vologases III.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Wakisaka originally served under Akechi Mitsuhide, a vassal of Oda Nobunaga. In 1581, he was one of several who led Nobunaga's troops in the Siege of Hijiyama. The following year, Akechi betrayed Oda Nobunaga and took his power and lands, but was defeated two weeks later at the Battle of Yamazaki. Wakisaka then joined the victor, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had become a conspicuous figure as a retainer of Oda Nobunaga.

paragraph: Following the Battle of Shizugatake in 1583, Wakisaka came to be known as one of the "shichi-hon-yari" (七本槍), or Seven Spears of Shizugatake. These Seven would be among Hideyoshi's most trusted generals, especially in naval combat. Wakisaka was granted the fief of Awaji Island, worth 30,000 koku, in 1585. He was then made commander of part of Hideyoshi's fleet, taking part in Hideyoshi's 1587 campaigns in Kyūshū, the 1590 Siege of Odawara, and the invasions of Korea, which took place from 1592 to 1598.

paragraph: In 1592, Wakisaka led 1500 soldiers and landed on the Korean peninsula. He lost the battle of Hansando. He participated in the army and navy in various places in a Korean peninsula. His reward in this war is an increase of the territory of 3000 Koku.

paragraph: He was ordered to dispatch a 1,200 man navy during the Keichō Invasion and annihilated the invading Korean navy led by Won Gyun during a counterattack in July 1597.

paragraph: In 1600, Wakisaka was going to side with Tokugawa Ieyasu, but was compelled to oppose him, siding with Ishida Mitsunari, because Mitsunari raised Wakisaka's army when he stayed in Osaka. On October 21, during the decisive battle of Sekigahara, Wakisaka switched sides along with Kobayakawa Hideaki. He defeated Ōtani Yoshitsugu's force, and contributed to the Tokugawa victory.

paragraph: After the battle, Tokugawa allowed Wakisaka to continue governing his domain of Awaji.

paragraph: In succeeding years, he was given another fief, at Ozu, Iyo Province, worth 53,000 "koku".

paragraph: His son, Wakisaka Yasumoto, succeeded to the house after his death.

paragraph: Vologases IV

paragraph: Vologases IV of Parthia (Parthian: Walagash, , Balāsh) was the ruler of the Parthian Empire from 147 to 191. He was the son of Mithridates IV of Parthia (129–140).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Vologases, during his early reign, united the two halves of the empire which had been split between his father and Vologases III of Parthia (105–147). He also reconquered the kingdom of Characene which seems to have been independent since the Roman invasion of the Parthian empire under Trajan (98–117). Vologases IV may be the king Volgash of the Zoroastrian tradition, who began the gathering of the writings of Zoroaster.

paragraph: Conflicts with Rome began in about 155 with a dispute, as usual, over the Kingdom of Armenia. During the reign of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, the Parthians attacked Armenia and deposed Sohaemus, the Roman client king there. Although the Roman–Parthian War (161-66) started auspiciously for the Parthians, after the Romans recovered from the first shock and setbacks, they counterattacked, restored Sohaemus to the Armenian throne and invaded the Parthian Empire.

paragraph: In this war the city of Seleucia on the Tigris was destroyed and the palace at the capital, Ctesiphon, was burned to the ground by Avidius Cassius in 165. The Roman legions advanced as far as Media. Vologases IV made peace but was forced to cede western Mesopotamia to the Romans.

paragraph: The end of his reign was marred by the revolt of Osroes II of Parthia (190), who appears to have set himself up in Media as a rival King in hope of succeeding him. In the event, Vologases' son, Vologases V (191–208) of the Arsacid cadet branch dynasty, ruling Armenia, won the succession, and appears to have quickly put down Osroes II.

paragraph: Vologases V

paragraph: Vologases V of Parthia (Parthian: "Walagash", , "Balāsh"), known in Armenian sources as Vologases II (, Vagharsh), was king of Arsacid Armenia from to 180 to 191, and king of the Parthian Empire from 191 to 208. He was the son of Vologases IV (147–191).

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: During his early life, he became the ruler of Armenia, succeeding Sohaemus. During his rule in Armenia, he managed in 189 to impose his son Rev I (whose mother was the sister of the Pharnavazid ruler Amazasp) on the Iberian throne. Vologases, after the death of his father, ascended the Parthian throne, and appointed his son Khosrov I as the ruler of Armenia. Vologases' succession, however, was not uncontested; a rival King, Osroes II (190), had already set himself up in Media before the death of the previous ruler, but Vologases V appears to have quickly put him down.

paragraph: Vologases V was attacked by the Roman emperor Septimius Severus (193–211) in 195. Severus advanced into Mesopotamia, occupied Nisibis and plundered the Parthian capital Ctesiphon in 199, capturing many Parthians and selling them into slavery. He attempted in vain to conquer the Arabic fortress at Hatra. In 202, peace was restored, leaving the Roman Empire in effective control of the whole of Mesopotamia.

paragraph: Vologases V died in 208, and was succeeded by his elder son Vologases VI (208–228), but a younger son, Artabanus V (216–224), rebelled and a civil war ensued.

paragraph: David Bryce

paragraph: David Bryce (3 April 1803 – 7 May 1876) was a Scottish architect.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Bryce was born at 5 South College Street in Edinburgh, the son of David Bryce (1763-1816) a grocer with a successful side interest in building. He was educated at the Royal High School and joined the office of the architect William Burn in 1825, at the age of 22. By 1841, Bryce had risen to be Burn's partner. Burn and Bryce formally dissolved their partnership in 1845, with disputes over the building of St Mary's Church, Dalkeith, Midlothian, for the Duke of Buccleuch.

paragraph: Burn moved to London, and Bryce succeeded to a very large and increasing practice, to which he devoted himself with the enthusiasm of an artistic temperament and untiring energy and perseverance. In the course of a busy and successful career, which was actively continued almost down to his death, he attained the foremost place in his profession in Scotland, and designed important works in most of the principal towns of the country.

paragraph: In the 1830s Bryce was living at 8 Great Stuart Street on the Moray Estate in Edinburgh's West End.

paragraph: In 1835 he was elected an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy, and in the following year became an academician. He was also a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, of the Architectural Institute of Scotland, of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and officiated for several years as grand architect to the Grand Lodge of Masons in Scotland. He died on 7 May 1876, after a short illness from bronchitis, leaving many important works in progress, which were completed under the superintendence of his nephew, who had been his partner for some years, and who succeeded to his business. He died unmarried, but had one son, David Bryce Tod who he recognised in later life, and in his will.

paragraph: He is buried in the New Calton Cemetery in Edinburgh just west of the main north-south path, beside his nephew, John Bryce, also an architect, who worked with him in later life. David Bryce never married, but he had one son, David Bryce Tod 1837-1918 (coachmaker) with his common law wife Janet Tod (1797-1884).

paragraph: Section::::Freemasonry.

paragraph: Bryce was Initiated into Scottish Freemasonry in Lodge Roman Eagle, No. 160, (Edinburgh). He later became an Affiliate Member of Lodge St James Operative, No.97, also in Edinburgh. He served, jointly, as Grand Architect of the Grand Lodge of Antient Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland, with his mentor, William Burn, from 1845 to 1850 and alone from 1851 until his death. He also took an interest in another branch of Freemasonry known as the Royal Arch. He was Exhalted (initiated) in Edinburgh St Andrew Chapter, No.83.

paragraph: Section::::Assessment.

paragraph: Bryce worked in all styles, and at first chiefly in the so-called Palladian and Italian Renaissance, but he soon devoted himself more exclusively to the Gothic, particularly that variety of it known as Scottish Baronial, of which he became the most distinguished and the ablest exponent. It was in this style that his greatest successes were achieved, particularly in the erection and alteration of mansion houses throughout the country, of which at least fifty testify to his sound judgement in planning, and to his appreciation of its opportunities for picturesque effects.

paragraph: The best of his public buildings in this style are probably Fettes College and the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh; while the buildings of the Bank of Scotland, which so largely contribute to the beauty of the outline of the Old Town of Edinburgh, exhibit him at his best in the Italian style. His fame is, however, mainly due to his ability in reviving the picturesque French Gothic, now naturalised in Scotland under the name of Baronial; the annual report of the Royal Scottish Academy in the year of his death said "there is no doubt that his name will long be honourably associated with much that is best and most characteristic in the domestic architecture of later times".

paragraph: With commissions for over 230 buildings during his career, Bryce is best known for perfecting the Scottish Baronial style, with which he pioneered the development of large and loosely planned country houses, for example Craigends House in Renfrewshire. His designs drew inspiration from 16th century Scottish architecture, including crow-stepped gables, turrets and carved doorways.

paragraph: In his banks and public buildings, he preferred to use Italianate classical styles similar to those of Charles Barry - his design for Fettes College, Edinburgh was one of the first to revive the French château style. Several other architects trained under Bryce including Charles Kinnear, John Starforth, James M. Wardrop, James McLaren, John Milne, J. J. Stevenson, Sir James Gowans, William Hamilton Beattie and James Campbell Walker.

paragraph: Vologases VI

paragraph: Vologases VI (Parthian: "Walagash", , "Balāsh") was the uncontested king of the Parthian Empire from 208 to 213, but afterwards fell into a dynastic struggle with his brother Artabanus IV, who by 216 was in control of most of the empire, even being acknowledged as the supreme ruler by the Roman Empire. Vologases VI continued to rule Seleucia until 221/2, and coin mints of him even appear in Mesopotamia until 228, when he was presumably defeated by the Sasanian Empire, who had previously defeated Artabanus IV and now succeeded the Parthians as the kings of Iran.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: Vologases is the Greek and Latin form of the Parthian "Walagash". The name is also attested in New Persian as "Balāsh" and Middle Persian "Wardākhsh" (also spelled "Walākhsh"). The etymology of the name is unclear. A suggestion has been made that the name could mean "strength".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Vologases VI succeeded his father Vologases V as king in . His rule was unquestioned for a few years, till his brother Artabanus IV rebelled. The dynastic struggle between the two brothers most likely started in . Artabanus successfully conquered much of the empire, including Media and Susa. Vologases VI seems to have only managed to keep Seleucia, where he minted coins. The Roman emperor Caracalla sought to take advantage of the conflict between the two brothers. He tried to find a pretext to invade the Parthian Empire by requesting Vologases to send two refugees—a philosopher named Antiochus and a certain Tiridates, who was possibly either an Armenian prince or a uncle of Vologases. To the surprise of the Romans, Vologases had the two men sent to Caracalla in 215, thus denying him his pretext. Caracalla's choice of contacting Vologases instead of Artabanus shows that the Romans still saw him as the dominant king.

paragraph: Caracalla thus chose to preoccupy himself with a invasion of Armenia. He appointed a freedman named Theocritus as the leader of the invasion, which eventually ended in a disaster. Caracalla then once again sought to start a war with the Parthians. In another attempt to gain a pretext, he requested Artabanus to marry his daughter, which he declined. It is disputed whether Caracalla's proposal was sincere or not. Caracalla's choice to contact Artabanus shows that the latter was now considered the dominant king over Vologases, who would rule a small principality centered around Seleucia until 221/2. A few years later (224), Ardashir I (), the founder of the Sasanian dynasty, defeated and killed Artabanus, thus putting an end to the Parthian Empire. Over the next few years, Ardashir I further expanded his new empire, and must have driven out or defeated Vologases in Mesopotamia soon after 228. Vologases had a son named Vachagan I, who founded the Arsacid dynasty of Caucasian Albania.
