paragraph: Alexander IV of Imereti

paragraph: Alexander IV (, "Alek'sandre IV") (died 1695), of the Bagrationi Dynasty, was a king of Imereti (western Georgia) from 1683 to 1690 and again from 1691 to 1695.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: A natural son of Bagrat V of Imereti, he was a political hostage at the eastern Georgian court of George XI of Kartli at the death of his father in 1681. Giorgi III Gurieli, Prince of Guria, capitalized on the vacuum of power in Imereti, and seized the crown the same year. However, George XI and the Imeretian nobles secured the Ottoman recognition for Alexander, who was enthroned in Imereti after deposing Prince Gurieli in 1683.

paragraph: Alexander married off his sister Darejan to his powerful vassal Paata Abashidze, lord of Upper Imereti, and succeeding in crushing the aristocratic opposition led by Prince Gurieli in 1684. In order to get rid of the Ottoman hegemony, Alexander transferred his loyalty to the Safavid shah Suleiman I of Persia in 1689, but was expelled by the Turks into Kartli in August 1690.

paragraph: In 1691, through the mediation of Erekle I of Kartli and the Persian government, Alexander was restored in Imereti after a year of anarchy and misrule, only to be dethroned by the nobles led by his own father-in-law Prince Giorgi-Malakia Abashidze. The leaders of the coup delivered Alexander to the anti-Persian king of Kartli, George XI, who had him executed and buried at the Ruisi church in 1695.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Alexander married, in 1691, Tamar (1681–1716), daughter of Prince Giorgi-Malakia Abashidze. Prior to that, he lived in an unofficial union with a certain noblewoman (Nino Gurieli, according to Cyril Toumanoff), who bore him two sons, Simon and George. Alexander also had two daughters, probably born by Abashidze:

paragraph: Barthold Suermondt

paragraph: Barthold Suermondt (18 May 1818, Utrecht – 1 March 1887, Aachen) was a German entrepreneur, banker, philanthropist, and art collector, of Dutch-Huguenot heritage.

paragraph: He was born in 1818 in Utrecht to Dirk Christiaan Suermondt and Elizabeth Twist. In the 1830s he worked with the Cockerill-Sambre steel manufacturers in Seraing, Belgium. He took over management of the company in 1840 following the sudden death of his boss John Cockerill. Coming from French extraction, Suermondt was responsible for attracting French investment into Germany during the 1830s–40s. At that time he founded in Germany a steel company that after a number of name changes in 1870 became known as Rheinische Stahlwerks, where he served as president until 1878.

paragraph: His first marriage in 1838 was to Amalie Elisabeth Cockerill (1815–59), heiress to her father James Cockerill's fortune, and after the death of the childless John, also heiress to the John Cockerill fortune. The couple had six sons. After Amalia's sister Nancy (1816-1854) died they also took care of Friederike Nancy Haniel (1843–1896), and after Amalia died Barthold married her and had their pendant portraits painted. Nancy's father was the mining entrepreneur Max Haniel.

paragraph: He was a major collector of Netherlandish and Dutch Golden Age painting, and acquired works by, amongst others, Jan van Eyck, Jan Vermeer, Frans Hals, Hans Holbein the Younger, Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Steen. In 1874 a large part of the Suermondt collection was passed to the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, a purchase headed by Julius Meyer and art historian Wilhelm von Bode funded by a grant of £50,000. The sale of his art collected came when his company experienced a rapid collapse. Another portion of his collection, amounting to 105 paintings, was bequeathed to the city of Aachen in 1882, and was instrumental in building up the display of the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum. That year Suermondt was made an honorary citizen of the city of Aachen. Around 1850, he had been portrayed in three-quarter view by Ludwig Knaus; today the work hangs in the foyer of the Suermondt-Ludwig.

paragraph: Dagobert II

paragraph: Dagobert II (; ; died 679) was the Merovingian king of the Franks ruling in Austrasia from 675 or 676 until his death. He is one of the more obscure Merovingians. He has been considered a martyr since at least the ninth century.

paragraph: None of the narrative histories of the Merovingian period give an account of Dagobert's reign, which must be reconstructed from several different sources. Upon the death of his father in 656, he was deprived of the succession and exiled to Ireland to live as a monk. His return to Austrasia was arranged by Wilfrid, bishop of York. He ascended the throne following the assassination of his cousin in 675. During his brief reign he made war on the neighbouring Frankish kingdom of Neustria, signed a peace treaty with the Lombard Kingdom in Italy and reintroduced gold coinage.

paragraph: The only near-contemporary assessment of Dagobert's character portrays him as a tyrant. He antagonized the bishops and imposed new taxes. He was assassinated by a conspiracy of the highest nobility. He was succeeded by his cousin, Theuderic III, king of Neustria, against whom he had previously warred.

paragraph: Section::::Exile.

paragraph: Dagobert was the son of Sigebert III (ruled 632–51/6) and an unknown woman. It is unlikely that he was a son of Sigebert's only known wife, Chimnechild, who survived him. He was thus the half-brother of Bilichild, Chimnechild's daughter by Sigebert. He was named for his grandfather, Dagobert I (623–39).

paragraph: According to the "Book of the History of the Franks", which dates to 727, after Sigebert's death, Grimoald, the mayor of the palace and the most powerful official under the king, arranged for Dagobert to be tonsured and placed in the custody of Dido, bishop of Poitiers. Tonsuring rendered Dagobert unfit for the throne, since Merovingian kings always wore their hair long. Dido then sent Dagobert to Ireland. The dating of these events is uncertain. They are usually placed in 656, but a date as early as 651 has also been proposed.

paragraph: No contemporary source describes Dagobert's time in Ireland. The eighteenth-century antiquary Mervyn Archdall was the first to record the association of Dagobert with a specific place in Ireland. He wrote that a local oral tradition current at that time put Dagobert in the monastery of Slane, a conclusion accepted by some modern scholars.

paragraph: Grimoald placed his own son, Childebert, on the Austrasian throne, but the Neustrians under Clovis II (639–657) had Grimoald arrested and brought to Paris, where he was executed "because he had acted against his lord", that is, the rightful Merovingian claimant. Clovis's second son, Childeric II, who was still a minor, was placed on the Austrasian throne in 662. He was married to Bilichild, Dagobert's half-sister, and placed under the regency of Chimnechild. He was assassinated, along with his queen and his son, in 675.

paragraph: The murder of Childeric provided the occasion for Dagobert's return, but its immediate result was civil war. The former mayor of the palace, Ebroin, declared a certain Clovis III, son of the Neustrian king Chlothar III (658–673), as king in Austrasia, while Clovis II's third son, Theuderic III, was placed on the Neustrian throne by Leodegar. After Leodegar's capture, Ebroin abandoned Clovis for Theuderic, and in so doing lost his Austrasian allies. In this situation, Dagobert was recalled from his Irish exile.

paragraph: Section::::Return from exile.

paragraph: While the "Book of the History of the Franks" is the only source to describe the circumstances of Dagobert's exile, the "Life of Wilfrid" is the only one to describe his return. This biography of the English bishop Wilfrid was composed in the first decades of the eighth century by Stephen of Ripon. According to Stephen, Dagobert was exiled to Ireland "in his youth" and when his friends and relatives later learned that he was still living they asked Wilfrid to bring him to England and from there send him on to Austrasia.

paragraph: The "Life of Wilfrid" does not specify who was responsible for recalling Dagobert, only that it was "friends" ("amici") and "relatives" ("proximi"). The relatives may have been on his mother's side. There is little consensus on who the friends could have been, possibly Wulfoald, the former mayor of the palace; Pippin of Herstal and Martin of Laon, who came to power, according to the "Book of the History of the Franks", after "the deaths of kings", perhaps in 675; or even Ultan, abbot of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, who was Irish himself and had connections in Ireland.

paragraph: The exact date of Dagobert's accession is not known. Childeric II was killed in 675 and Dagobert was on the throne by 676.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Dagobert's reign is sparsely recorded. The "Book of the History of the Franks", which has a Neustrian perspective, does not mention him again after describing his exile. The historian Richard Gerberding says of the "History"'s author, "Either he did not believe that Dagobert had returned to become king or he did not want us to know of it".

paragraph: Only one seventh-century work from within the Merovingian kingdoms, the "Life of Abbess Sadalberga of Laon", mentions the reign of Dagobert, and then only in passing. It records that Sadalberga moved her convent from the suburbs of Langres in northern Burgundy to the city of Laon because of forebodings, later proven true by "recent fighting between Kings Dagobert and Theuderic". This is the only mention of a war between Dagobert and his first cousin, Theuderic III of Neustria. It is an indication of the continuing animosity between Ebroin and the Austrasians.

paragraph: That the war was waged deep in Burgundy, which was under Neustrian rule, suggests that Dagobert for a time had the initiative. It may be during this war that Pippin of Herstal and Martin of Laon launched the attack on Theuderic III that was defeated by Ebroin at the famous Battle of Lucofao, resulting in Martin's death. While this battle may have taken place after Dagobert's death, a more likely date is September 679, when Dagobert was still alive to issue orders for the raising of levies.

paragraph: In 676, Dagobert signed a "most firm pact of peace" with the Lombards. This event can be dated precisely because the only source for it, the "History of the Lombards" written by Paul the Deacon towards the end of the eighth century, reports the appearance of a comet in August the same year. This comet was widely reported across the world from Ireland to Japan. Paul, however, mistakenly places the pact in the reign of the Lombard king Grimoald, who died in 671, before Dagobert had even returned from Ireland. The Lombard king at the time of the comet was actually Perctarit.

paragraph: The only surviving authentic charter issued by Dagobert confirms the possessions of the monastery of Stavelot-Malmedy. In the charter Dagobert refers to the donations made by his father, but does not mention that the monastery was founded by Grimoald, the man who had exiled him.

paragraph: Dagobert reintroduced the minting of gold, which had apparently been suspended by Childeric II around 670. His gold "tremissis" broke with the old Frankish style and copied the cross potent on three steps of contemporary Byzantine "solidi". Dagobert was also the last king in whose name coins were struck in Marseille. The important royal coinage of Marseille, lasting from 613 until 679, was always struck with the name of a king, which was unusual since Frankish coins typically contain only the names of the moneyer and the mint.

paragraph: In 679, while on his way to Rome to attend a church council, Wilfrid stayed at the court of Dagobert, who was grateful to the bishop for having facilitated his return from Ireland. Dagobert offered to appoint Wilfrid to the diocese of Strasbourg, which the "Life of Wilfrid" calls the "chief bishopric of his realm", but Wilfrid declined. Dagobert provided him with arms and companions for the rest of his journey to Rome. In Italy, Wilfrid stayed for a time at the court of Dagobert's new ally, Perctarit.

paragraph: In late 679, shortly after Wilfrid's visit, Dagobert was assassinated. The "Life of Wilfrid" claims that this was engineered by "treacherous dukes" with the consent of the bishops. According to a late tradition, he was killed by his own godson, John, while hunting in the Woëvre. The traditional date of his death, 23 December, is likewise based on late sources but widely accepted.

paragraph: Following Dagobert's death, Ebroin managed to extend Theuderic III's authority over Austrasia. On Wilfrid's return trip through Austrasia in 680, he was arrested by Ebroin's men, who blamed him for having arranged Dagobert's return. According to the report in the "Life", Dagobert was a "destroyer of cities, despising the counsels of the magnates, reducing the people with taxation ... being contemptuous of God's churches and their bishops."

paragraph: Section::::Martyr cult.

paragraph: The "Life of Wilfrid" is the only source to record Dagobert's assassination, but some corroboration comes from the fact that he was being revered as a martyr in the Ardennes region before the end of the ninth century.

paragraph: There are conflicting claims about where Dagobert was buried. According to the "Life" of Bishop Audoin of Rouen, written in the early eighth century, Dagobert was buried in the church of Saint Peter in Rouen alongside his predecessor, Childeric II, and Childeric's queen, Bilichild, and infant son, also named Dagobert. This source refers to the "Dagobert whom Grimoald tonsured" without mentioning his exile, return or reign.

paragraph: The "Life of Dagobert", on the other hand, says that Dagobert was bured at Stenay in the church dedicated to Saint Remigius. This is not implausible, since Stenay was in the centre of Austrasia. The source, however, dates to the 890s and confuses Dagobert II and Dagobert III (711–715), who died of illness.

paragraph: In 872, the cult of Dagobert was brought to life (or revived) by Charles the Bald, king of West Francia (840–877), who had his relics translated to a specially built basilica in Stenay staffed with its own canons. The timing seems to indicate that Charles was trying to establish himself in that part of Lotharingia that he had only acquired in 870 by the Treaty of Meerssen. The translation of the relics is mentioned in the "Life of Dagobert" and in a charter preserved in the cartulary of the Abbey of Gorze, which provides the date.

paragraph: The endowment of the Basilica of Saint Dagobert is known from a charter of 1124, also in the cartulary of Gorze. The endowment had passed at some point to Beatrice, wife of Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lorraine, who in 1069 left it to the abbey of Gorze. The canons having grown lax, the monks turned it into a Benedictine priory.

paragraph: Dagobert's feast day was 23 December. This day is given in the "Life of Dagobert"; in the now lost calendar of saints made for Emma, wife of King Lothair of France (954–986); and in the "auctaria" (local additions) to the Martyrology of Usuard from the area of modern Belgium. One "auctarium", however, places his feast on 11 September. A Liège manuscript of the martyrology of Ado of Vienne also places Dagobert's death on 23 December.

paragraph: Dagobert's festival was never widespread outside of Stenay. Generally, it became associated with places associated with Dagobert I. It was still being celebrated at Verdun as late as the sixteenth century. The prior of Stenay was suppressed in 1580 and in 1591 the buildings were sacked by Protestants. Dagobert's relics were dispersed, with some ending up in Saint-Ghislain.

paragraph: Peire de Bussignac, Bossinhac, or Bocinhac (fl. c. 1160) was a nobleman, cleric, and troubadour from the Périgord. He was probably from Bussignac in Hautefort, but possibly Boussignac in Tulle. He was, according to his "vida", "from the castle of Bertran de Born". Though his "vida" speaks of "good "sirventes"" to reproach ladies for bad behaviour and "sirventes" attacking Bertran, only one "sirventes" by Peire survives: "Quan lo dous temps d'abril", an attack on women as ne'er-do-well gossips.

paragraph: Peire de Maensac

paragraph: Peire de Maensac was an Auvergnat knight and troubadour. He was from Maensac (either Mauzat, Manzat or Mainsat) in the lands of Dalfi d'Alvernha. He came from the petty nobility. His brother Austor or Austors was also a troubadour, but none of his works survives. According to Peire's "vida" the brothers agreed that one of them would "have the castle" (i.e. inherit) and the other would be the "inventor" (i.e. troubadour). Peire became the troubadour.

paragraph: He wrote poems dedicated to the (unnamed) wife of Bernart de Tierci. According to his "vida" he sang so much to her that she eventually allowed herself to be "abducted" by him. He fled with her to the castle of Dalf d'Alvernha, but her husband waged a "great war" to bring her back. Dalfi reputedly defended the castle so well that Bernart was unable to ever reclaim her.

paragraph: Peire was called a "pleasant companion" by his biographer. He wrote mostly "cansos" of courtly love with "pleasing melodies", but also "coblas de solatz". The meaning of this last phrase is not certain. It could mean "good entertaining couplets" ("bon couplets divertissants") according to Boutière-Schutz, the first of the "vida's" editors, but it could also mean simply "tensos", as preferred by Egan, the "vida's" first English editor.

paragraph: Rainaut de Pons (or de Pon), in French "Renaud de Pons" (Reginald of Pons), was a troubadour from the region of Saintonge in the County of Poitou. According to his "vida", he was lord of the castle of Pons. He composed "tensos" with Jaufre de Pons, one of his retainers according to the "vida". One of their "partimens" survives in several manuscripts.

paragraph: The identity of the troubadour is not certain, but chronologically he must be either the Rainaut de Pons (fl. 1189–1228) who served as seneschal of Gascony in the period 1214–17, or the latter's nephew, Rainaut II, lord of Pons (fl. 1191–1252), an avid crusader.

paragraph: Ricau de Tarascon (also spelled Ricautz or Ricavi) was a Provençal knight and troubadour from Tarascon, active between 1200 and 1240. He served Count Raymond Berengar V of Provence as an administrator.

paragraph: His "vida" portrays him as a good "servant" of ladies. He wrote both "sirventes" and "cansos", but only two songs survive. "Ab tan de sen cum Deus m'a dat", a "canso", is accepted by scholars to be his and is generally ascribed to him in the chansonniers, although it is also ascribed to Gui de Cavalhon and Aimeric de Peguillan. Ricau knew Gui personally, since together they composed a "tenso" (debate poem), "Cabrit, al mieu vejaire", in which Gui is called "Cabrit". The "tenso" is jocular in tone. Its poetic structure is borrowed from a song of Perdigon's that was also reused by Joan Esteve.

paragraph: Salh d'Escola

paragraph: Salh d'Escola (; fl. 1195) was a troubadour from Bergerac in the Périgord, a former province of France. The meaning of his name, also spelled Sail or Saill, uncertain; it may be an unusual given name. His surname, likewise, may be a family name, but there is no known location called "Escola" that could render it a toponymic. The entire name may be a nickname meaning "defector from school" or "escapee from the cloister" , indicating that he quit his education, either in a school or a monastery. On the other hand, it may signify a pedant.

paragraph: The details of Salh's life are provided in two main sources, one contemporaneous and one late. The first source is the poem "Pos Peire d'Alvernh′ a chantat" composed by the troubadour monk of Montaudon in 1195. In it he good-naturedly criticises a gallery of troubadour, each in turn, usually humorously. One of those criticised is Salh d'Escola. According to the monk, Salh was a "jongleur" who went to Bergerac and became a merchant. The later source is Salh's "vida" (a short biography), which probably relied on "Pos Peire d'Alvernh′" to piece together its story. According to the anonymous biographer, Salh was the son of a merchant and became a "jongleur". He then went to Narbonne and stayed for a long time at the court of "Ainermada de Narbona", the Viscountess Ermengard of Narbonne. Upon her death (1197), Salh entered the cloister at Bergerac and abandoned his "inventing [songs] and singing".

paragraph: Only on work by Salh, a "canso" (love song), has been preserved: "Gran esfortz fai qui chanta ni.s deporta". It is an amorous confession to his lady for telling her to "die" in a moment of desperation or irritation.

paragraph: Isa Nacewa

paragraph: Isakeli "Isa" Nacewa (born 22 July 1982) is a former rugby union player and coach. Born in New Zealand of Fijian descent, he represented the Fiji national team, winning one cap in 2003.

paragraph: He was a utility back who played for the Blues in the Super Rugby competition and Auckland in the Air New Zealand Cup.

paragraph: He moved to Leinster in 2008, and over two spells won four European Cups, and captained the team to European Champions Cup and Pro14 titles in his final season. He retired from playing at the end of the 2017-2018 season.

paragraph: He took a two-year break from playing from 2013 to 2015, when he returned to New Zealand and had a coaching role with the Blues.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:New Zealand.

paragraph: Nacewa was one of the stand-out players for Auckland in their 2005 NPC-winning season, Nacewa is a speedy and versatile player who can play as an outside back or centre. He also proved that he can play as a first five-eighth when he covered successfully for the injured Luke McAlister during the 2006 Super 14 season.

paragraph: In the 2007 Super 14 coach David Nucifora trialled him in their first match against the Crusaders at Fly-half in place of first-choice Luke McAlister who was out because of an injury. Nacewa played so well that Nucifora decided to play him at number 10 and when McAlister returned he was placed in his favourite position at inside centre to cater for Nacewa. The Blues defeated the defending champions and Nacewa scored 19 points. In the 2007 Air New Zealand Cup, Nacewa was voted the player of the tournament after guiding his Auckland team to another thrilling victory and thus winning the coveted Air New Zealand Cup in another thriller defeating finalist Wellington. He has won the Air New Zealand Cup 3 times with Auckland in 2003, 2005, and 2007.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:New Zealand.:International career.

paragraph: Born and raised in New Zealand, Nacewa qualified to play for Fiji through his ancestral links. He was included in Fiji's squad for the 2003 Rugby World Cup and came on as a substitute against Scotland for less than 3 minutes, not touching the ball. In 2006, he quit the Fiji national team as he wanted his eligibility changed from Fiji to New Zealand. But due to IRB law, his appearance for Fiji in the World Cup made him ineligible for the All Blacks, Nacewa considered legal advice to persuade the IRB to annul his Fiji cap, however the IRB has since ruled that Nacewa is a Fijian citizen and has played for Fiji during the 2003 Rugby World Cup, making him only eligible to play for Fiji. According to media reports in October 2009, Nacewa was sounded out about the possibility of again playing for Fiji on their tour to Europe, but he rebuffed these approaches to retain his focus on club rugby with Leinster.

paragraph: Nacewa could have qualified for Ireland (under residency), had he not already played for Fiji.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Leinster.

paragraph: In 2008 he moved to Ireland to represent Leinster Rugby, scoring a try in his opening game for the province. However, he suffered a setback when he sustained a broken arm in the win over the Ospreys on 19 September, a game in which he scored two drop goals.

paragraph: He returned for the later stages of the Heineken Cup pool stages and played on the right wing in the quarter-final victory over Harlequins but moved to full-back for the semi-final against Munster with great success. The Irish Times said of his performance "Nacewa's selection at fullback was vindicated for his stunning line and pass for D’Arcy's opening try. But there was so much more than that as well: his security and strength at the back, his counter-attacking runs, his passing and kicking". He retained his place at full-back for the Heineken Cup final on 23/5/09, keeping Ireland first-choice and Lions tourist Rob Kearney on the bench, and contributed well to Leinster's 19–16 victory.

paragraph: In the 2009/2010 season, Nacewa alternated between full-back and wing but was almost ever-present in the starting Leinster XV. Rumours circulated that Nacewa was contemplating a return to the Fijian national team when they toured Ireland and Britain in November 2009; however Nacewa himself rejected this.

paragraph: In the 2010/2011 season, Nacewa established himself as one of the finest full-backs in Europe with eye-catching displays for Leinster in their Heineken Cup run, scoring two tries in the pool stages as well as a brilliant solo effort in the quarter-final against Leicester. Following that game, his Leinster colleague, Gordon D'Arcy said of Nacewa; “It gets kind of boring when he's that good. He's probably one of the best players I’ve played with in any shape, way or form."

paragraph: Nacewa picked up his second Heineken Cup winners medal after playing a key role in Leinster's second-half comeback against Northampton at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.

paragraph: On an individual level, Nacewa was named both the Irish Rugby Union Players' Association (IRUPA) and the Leinster Rugby Player of the Year, as well as being chosen as full-back on the 'Magners League Dream Team' for 2011 and was shortlised for the ERC European Player of the Year, losing out to his Leinster colleague, Sean O'Brien.

paragraph: He was included for the Barbarians' match against Wales starting at fullback. He scored 2 tries, one of which came in the final minute to give the Barbarians a win. Following that game, speculation arose that Nacewa would play for Fiji at the 2011 World Cup, however it was later confirmed by the Fiji rugby union that he would not make himself available, citing family commitments .

paragraph: Doubts were raised about his future at Leinster after the IRFU announced a new policy restricting non-Irish players in December 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Retirement.

paragraph: On 20 March 2013, it was reported in the Irish Times that Nacewa would finish his career and return to New Zealand at the end of the 2012–2013 season, despite having a year left on his contract. Family reasons were cited as being behind his decision. This was confirmed on the Leinster Rugby website later that day. Nacewa played his last game on 25 May 2013 at full-back in the 24–18 win over Ulster in the RaboDirect Pro12 final against Ulster at the RDS, collecting the fifth trophy of his Leinster career in the process.

paragraph: After retirement, he joined the NZ ITM Cup commentating team for Sky NZ.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Coaching.

paragraph: In November 2013, it was announced that Nacewa would be returning to the Auckland Blues as mental skills coach for the 2014 Super Rugby season. Nacewa said at the time “My role involves getting the players’ mental space right going into trainings and games and upskilling them on the discipline and attributes needed to be winners, not just talented players,”

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Return to Leinster Rugby.

paragraph: In April 2015, he signed a one-year contract to play for Leinster. He made his return for Leinster against Edinburgh Rugby in the 2015-16 Pro 12 season kicking 9 points. The following week, he was the stand-in captain and he kicked 13 points to help Leinster beat Cardiff Blues. He played at fullback in both games. Nacewa extended his contract and was installed as the Leinster Captain for the 2015/16 season. Nacewa was named captain of the Pro 12 team of the season as he led Leinster to the top of Pro 12 table and the final at Murrayfield where they were defeated by Connacht Rugby 20-10.

paragraph: In September 2017, Nacewa and teammate Jamison Gibson-Park were denied entry to South Africa due to newly created restrictions that required citizens of New Zealand to obtain a visa. The pair had been due to play two matches for Leinster in the Pro14 against the Southern Kings and the Cheetahs.

paragraph: On 24 April 2018, it was announced that Nacewa would be retiring at the end of the 2017/2018 season and would be returning to New Zealand.

paragraph: On 12 May 2018, Nacewa kicked the match-winning penalty in Leinster's 15-12 defeat of Racing 92, in the European Rugby Champions Cup final, gaining a record-equalling fourth win as a player in the competition.

paragraph: Afua Kobi

paragraph: Afua Kobi (fl. 1834 – 1884) was an "asantehemaa" of the Ashanti Empire.

paragraph: Afua Kobi, an Asante ruler in the Asante Kingdom found in present day Ghana, was an "asantehemaa", which refers to "queen mother" who informed the Asante royal council to avoid the war with British in the 19th century, however, she was active in the carried out war. Afua Kobi was born in Asante Aristocracy and is the daughter of "asantehene", the king Owusu Afriye and "asantehemaa" Afua Sapon, and now Afua became the ninth "asantehemaa" in the Asante dynasty.

paragraph: Section::::Personal Life.

paragraph: After being the ninth Asanthemaa in the Asante dynasty, she got married to one of the ruling "asantehenes's" council. Between 1835 and 1850, they had five children which includes two out of those five children became "asantehenes" and one later became "asantehemaa". After the death of her husband, Kofi Nti, Afua married Boakye Tenten, who was also a council member, however, they had no further children. Therefore, her descendants held their key position leading in to the twentieth century when her great-great grandson was elected to the Asante throne known as "The Golden Stool.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Despite the fact that Afua was ninth "asanteemaa" in the Asante Dynasty, her sons were not considered to be serious candidates for the Asante throne. However, as the conflict with the British escalated, the war began, one of her children, Kofi Karikari were enlisted to become "asantehene". He was persuaded to make an oath that he would not seek throne, meaning he would give up his chances in becoming a candidate to the Asante throne. In 1867, Kofi was elected to the Golden Stool after the executions and the other candidates being exiled. Even though Kofi was supported by those who recommended the war with the British, His position regarding on handling the British colonialism remained unclear. His Mother, in her position as the "asantehemaa," she took action, and in 1872, this was her response to the British govenor "I am only a women, but would fight the govenor with my left hand" (Aidoo,1981, p. 71).

paragraph: She was against a war with the British Empire, and in 1873 she spoke before her son and the council of military chiefs warning them that such a conflict would destroy their empire. Nevertheless, the chiefs chose to fight; they lost, and Kofi Karikari was replaced by his younger brother Mensa Bonsu. She remained as senior counselor in 1881, although neither son achieved anything of note during his reign. Afua Kobi's daughter was Yaa Akyaa, who was eventually successful in seeing her children installed on the throne, and who in 1884 kicked her brother Mensa Bonsu from the throne; he and his mother were then exiled by Yaa Akyaa's agency.
