paragraph: Galeotto I Malatesta

paragraph: Galeotto I Malatesta (1299–1385) was an Italian condottiero, who was lord of Rimini, Fano, Ascoli Piceno, Cesena and Fossombrone.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Rimini, he was the son of Pandolfo I Malatesta and the brother of Malatesta II Malatesta. In 1333 he was captured while besieging Ferrara, but was soon freed and fought alongside Ferrantino Malatesta against the Papal legate in Romagna. When the latter plotted against him, Galeotto imprisoned him and declared himself lord of Rimini. The war between the two lasted until 1343. Ludwig of Bavaria also made him lord of Fano.

paragraph: After a period as condottiero for and later tyrann of Ascoli Piceno, in 1349 he travelled to the Holy Land. In 1351 he was hired in the Kingdom of Naples. In 1352 Malatesta led a campaign in Abruzzo in the service of Louis of Anjou, King of Sicily, and laid siege to the fortress of Aversa, held by the mercenary leader Fra' Moriale.

paragraph: In 1353 Innocent VI sent Gil Álvarez Carrillo de Albornoz as a legate into Italy, with a view to the restoration of the papal authority in the states of the Church, at the head of a small mercenary army. After receiving the support of the archbishop of Milan, Giovanni Visconti, and of those of Pisa, Florence and Siena, he defeated Giovanni di Vico, lord of Viterbo, who had usurped much of the Papal territories in the Latium and Umbria. Giovanni was defeated in the battle of Viterbo of 10 March 1354 and signed a treaty of submission. Albornoz then moved to the Marche and Romagna against the Malatesta of Rimini and the Ordelaffi of Forlì. The Papal commander Rodolfo II da Varano, lord of Camerino, defeated Galeotto Malatesta, forcing his family to become an ally of the Pope.

paragraph: After the Albornoz's defeat his family was made Papal vicar in Rimini, Pesaro, Fano and Fossombrone. In 1356 he took part in the crusade declared against the Ordelaffi of Forlì. In the 1360 he was first made commander-in-chief by the Queen of Naples Joan I, but later he switched to the Republic of Florence and then again to the Byzantine Empire. In 1372 Pope Gregory XI confirmed Galeotto general commander of the Papal Army against Bernabò Visconti, whom he defeated at Montichiari, near Brescia, the following year.

paragraph: After the death of his nephews, Galeotto managed to gain the whole family seigniory in Romagna (he had been already lord of Rimini from 1364 with Ungaro IV and Pandolfo II Malatesta, as well as sole ruler of Fano). After a series of small but ferocious ravages in the area, in 1376 he captured Cesena, adding Bertinoro in 1378. Later he warred against Guido da Polenta for Cesenatico, conquering Senigallia from him in 1383, as well as other lands. The war was continued by his sons, as Galeotto I died in 1385 at Cesena.

paragraph: Carlo Bergamini (admiral)

paragraph: Carlo Bergamini (24 October 1888 – 9 September 1943) was an Italian admiral.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in San Felice sul Panaro, Bergamini became a Guardiamarina (ensign) in 1908. He participated in the Italian-Turkish war as an officer on the armoured cruiser "Vettor Pisani". During World War I, he was the chief of artillery on the cruiser "Pisa". In 1918 he received a silver medal for his bravery during an operation off the coast of Albania.

paragraph: His first command was that of the destroyer "Giacinto Carini". In the time between World War I and World War II, he rose to the rank of Ammiraglio di Divisione, and made a notable contribution to the design of the fire-control system adopted on the major Italian warships.

paragraph: Section::::World War II.

paragraph: While Italy remained neutral, Bergamini commanded the 4th and then the 9th Naval Division. He then became the Chief of Staff of the 1st Squadra Navale. He participated in the Battle of Cape Spartivento (known in Italy as the Battle of Cape Teulada) on board the battleship "Vittorio Veneto". After a brief time at the Italian high command he was again named commander of 9 Naval Division (flagship "Vittorio Veneto") and then of 5th Naval Division (flagship "Caio Duilio").

paragraph: On 5 March 1943, he took command of Squadra Navale (the whole Italian fleet), replacing Admiral Angelo Iachino.

paragraph: In the early hours of 8 September 1943, the fleet was poised to oppose the Allied landing at Salerno; later that evening, he was told of the Italian Armistice. He was ordered to reach Allied-controlled Tunisia and his fleet left La Spezia, for the Italian controlled naval base at La Maddalena.

paragraph: On 9 September 1943, Bergamini received news that La Maddalena had fallen to the Germans. The fleet then headed for Tunisia. Later that afternoon, Bergamini's fleet was attacked by a wing of German bombers near Porto Torres. Bergamini's flagship "Roma" did not open fire immediately, following orders from Pietro Badoglio; when the ships opened fire it was clear that the German planes were staying out of range of the Italian anti-aircraft guns. Subsequently, "Roma" was hit by a Fritz X guided bomb, a weapon unknown to the Italians at the time. Bergamini, the ship's captain and 1,350 other crew members were killed when the ship exploded and sank.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Bergamini was posthumously promoted to the rank of "Ammiraglio d'Armata" (full Admiral).

paragraph: The Italian frigate "Carlo Bergamini", launched 1960, was named for him. The first of the Italian Marina Militare FREMM multipurpose frigates, commissioned in 2013, has also been named in his honor.

paragraph: George Montgomery (bishop)

paragraph: The Rt Rev. Dr George Montgomery (1562–1621) ("alias" Montgomerie) was a Scottish protestant cleric, promoted by King James VI and I to various Irish bishoprics. He held the offices of Rector of Chedzoy, Somerset; Dean of Norwich (1603); Bishop of Raphoe, Bishop of Clogher, Bishop of Derry (1605); Bishop of Meath (1610).

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in North Ayrshire, the younger son of Adam Montgomery, 5th Laird of Braidstane, and brother of Hugh Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery, who used his influence on George's behalf. Their mother was a Montgomery cousin. After James I had made him Dean of Norwich in 1603, he was appointed the first Protestant Bishop of Raphoe, in 1605. There he began the construction of The Cathedral Church of St. Eunan. At the same time he was made Bishop of Clogher and Bishop of Derry; and in 1607 lobbied Lord Salisbury for the establishment of free schools in Ulster.

paragraph: In 1608 when O'Doherty's Rebellion broke out, the settlement of Derry was captured and burnt by the rebels led by Sir Cahir O'Doherty. Although Montgomery and O'Doherty had been on good terms before the rising, (both had quarreled with Sir George Paulet, the Governor of Derry, who is often blamed for provoking the rebellion), the rebels burnt the Bishop's house and his library of two thousand books because of their supposedly heretical content. The Bishop's wife and sister were taken as hostages by the rebels, but were eventually freed by Crown forces.

paragraph: From 1609 he assisted in the plantation of Scots in western Ulster.

paragraph: From 1610 he was Bishop of Meath, retaining the Norwich deanery to 1614, and the Raphoe bishopric for the rest of his life. Montgomery was also rector of Chedzoy.

paragraph: After his death in London in 1620/21 his body was taken to Ireland and buried at Ardbraccan church.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and children.

paragraph: He married twice:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Firstly to Susan Steyning (died 1614), the eldest daughter of Phillip Steyning (1509–1589), lord of the manor of Holnicote in Somerset, by his wife Alice Fry (1533–1605), a daughter of William Fry, lord of the manor of Yarty in Devon. Montgomery erected a monumental brass tablet in Washfield Church in Devon to his mother-in-law Alice Fry, on which are engraved his arms impaling Steyning. It comprises a lengthy rhyming verse on the lady's good moral character, composed by Montgomery. Susan Steyning's younger sister Margaret Steyning married John Willoughby of Payhembury in Devon, with whom Montgomery frequently corresponded. The correspondence was preserved by Willoughby's granddaughter Mary Willoughby, the wife of George Trevelyan, lord of the manor of Nettlecombe in Somerset, which collection is now known as the Trevelyan Papers. These provide an important source for the biography of Montgomery. By his wife Susan Steyning he had children as follows:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Jane Montgomery, their only daughter, who in 1618 married Nicholas St Lawrence, 11th Baron Howth, whose family her father described as "a noble house, the best of the Pale of Ireland". Montgomery provided her with a dowry of £3000, a considerable sum at the time. Though not a love marriage it was apparently a happy one.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Secondly he married Elizabeth Brabazon, daughter of Edward Brabazon, 1st Baron Ardee and Mary Smythe, and sister of William Brabazon, 1st Earl of Meath. After his death she made two further marriages: secondly to Sir John Brereton, Serjeant-at-law (Ireland), and finally to Sir John Bramston, the Lord Chief Justice. This last marriage was the revival of a longstanding attachment: her father had forbidden them to marry, but her brother made no objection. She died in 1647. Her stepchildren remembered her fondly as a good wife and kindly stepmother, but not as someone for whom they would expect their father to cherish a long romantic attachment, being short, fat, red-faced and badly dressed.

paragraph: Section::::Character.

paragraph: He was praised in his time as "no lazy bishop nor idle patriot" and was called the "darling and chief advocate of the Church of Ireland". He was also noted for his loyalty to his brother Lord Montgomery, his "best and closest friend".

paragraph: Joseph ben Judah of Ceuta

paragraph: Joseph ben Judah ( "Yosef ben Yehuda") of Ceuta ( 1160–1226) was a Jewish physician and poet, and disciple of Moses Maimonides.

paragraph: It is as an address to Joseph that Maimonides introduces his "Guide for the Perplexed".

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: For the first 25 years of his life ben Judah lived with his father, who was an artisan at Ceuta then part of the Almohad Empire.

paragraph: Joseph ben Judah left the Maghreb, when he was about twenty-five years old, and was already engaged in the practise of medicine (Salomon Munk, "Notice sur Joseph b. Jehudah," in "Jour. Asiatique," 1842, p. 14). When not occupied with professional work he wrote Hebrew poems, which were known to Al-Ḥarizi, and in his "Taḥkemoni" (xviii.) the latter speaks highly of them. Maimonides, to whom Joseph sent his poems together with other compositions from Alexandria, was not so lavish with his praise. He appreciated only the great longing for higher studies which found expression in Joseph ben Judah's poems.

paragraph: Joseph ben Judah went from Alexandria to Fusṭaṭ (Cairo) and studied logic, mathematics, and astronomy under Maimonides. Maimonides likewise expounded the writings of the Prophets, because Joseph seemed perplexed as to the possibility of reconciling the teachings of the Prophets with the results of metaphysical research. Maimonides advised patience and systematic study; but the disciple left before Maimonides had completed his course of lectures on the Prophets (Maimonides, "Moreh Nebukhim," Introduction). His stay with Maimonides was short (Munk, l.c. p. 34): less than two years.

paragraph: Ben Judah went further east and settled in Aleppo. Here he established himself as a medical practitioner, married, and made a successful commercial journey which enabled him to live henceforth independently and free from care. It was probably in the course of this journey that he witnessed at Baghdad the burning of the works of the philosopher 'Abd al-Salam (1192).

paragraph: After the departure of Joseph from Fusṭaṭ the intercourse between master and disciple was continued in writing. Maimonides's "Moreh Nebukim" (Guide for the Perplexed) was written for Joseph and for those like him who found it difficult to harmonize the results of philosophical research with the teachings of the Prophets.

paragraph: Joseph, however, was not convinced; for he writes allegorically to his master as follows:

paragraph: Maimonides replies in the same style, declaring the innocence of his daughter and the guilt of the husband; and he advises his disciple to have faith in God, and to be more modest and more careful in his utterances lest he bring evil upon himself.

paragraph: Joseph remained, however, a true disciple of his master. He abandoned his other pursuits and wished to open a school. Maimonides dissuaded him from the undertaking, unless he should do it without seeking material profit from his teaching. When, thirty years later, Al-Ḥarizi visited Aleppo (1217) he found Joseph in the zenith of his glory. He praised him as the "Western light," and applied to him the words of Scripture, "and Joseph was ruler over the whole land; he supplied food for all" ("Taḥkemoni," xlvi., l.). He must indeed have had great authority when he defended his master and silenced the opposition expressed by some rabbis in Bagdad against the works of Maimonides. Maimonides exhorted Joseph to moderation, begging him, being young in years, not to oppose an old rabbi whose authority was recognized in the congregation (see "Birkat Abraham," Lyck, 1859; "Zikronot," ii.: a letter written by Maimonides in 1192).

paragraph: Joseph was twice married: by the first wife he had two daughters; by the second, several sons.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Joseph's poems are all lost except one in praise of Maimonides, and the beginning of another preserved by AlḤarizi.

paragraph: His only other surviving work is a dissertation in Arabic on the problem of Creation. This appears (but is not certain) to have been written before his contact with Maimonides—the opinions attributed to philosophy are those of Avicenna.

paragraph: It is entitled "Ma'amar bimehuyav ha-metsiut ve'eykhut sidur ha-devarim mimenu vehidush ha'olam" ("A Treatise as to (1) Necessary Existence (2) The Procedure of Things from the Necessary Existence and (3) The Creation of the World").

paragraph: In it, as summarised by Sirat, "the necessity of God's existence is first demonstrated by Avicenna's proof of contingency, but this demonstration is, as the author says, that of the philosophers, and seems to him less convincing than that proposed by the theologians—the "mutakallimūn", who affirm not only the existence of a necessary being, but the temporal creation of the world, which cannot be deduced by philosophical demonstration. In effect, only divine choice and will can explain the multiplicity evident in the world, for out of an absolutely One and Only God only unity can necessarily proceed; the multiplicity that exists in fact is therefore an act of will and not the consequence of a necessary cause".

paragraph: Peter Sinfield

paragraph: Peter John Sinfield (born 27 December 1943) is an English poet and songwriter who was the lyricist and co-founder of early incarnations of King Crimson, whose debut album "In the Court of the Crimson King" is one of the most influential progressive rock albums released.

paragraph: In 2005, Sinfield was noted as a "prog rock hero" in "Q" magazine for his lyrics and influence in the music industry.

paragraph: As a lyricist, Sinfield has a distinctive approach to the sounds of words, filled with surreal imagery, and a facility with water images and ideas involving the sea. Later in his career he adapted his writing for pop music and co-wrote a succession of hits that were to be sung by Celine Dion, Cher, Cliff Richard, Leo Sayer, Five Star, and Bucks Fizz.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Sinfield was born at Fulham, London, to mixed English-Irish ancestry and a bohemian activist mother Deidre (also known as Joey or Daphne). He seldom had contact with his father Ian. Up until the age of eight, he was raised largely by his mother's German housekeeper Maria Wallenda, a high wire walker from the circus act the Flying Wallendas, after which he was sent to Danes Hill School in Oxshott. It was there that Sinfield discovered a love of words and their uses and meanings, with the guidance of his tutor John Mawson. He came to devour books of all kinds, especially poetry. He later attended Ranelagh Grammar School in Bracknell, Berkshire. He left school at sixteen and worked briefly as a travel agent, believing that this would "allow him to see the world". He then went on to work for a computer company for six years, travelling around Europe when he could and hanging around with friends from the Chelsea School of Art. To compete with his art school friends, Sinfield began learning to play the guitar, and write poetry in the mid 1960s, and made a living on market stalls selling handmade kites, lampshades, paintings and customised clothing. He spent a number of years drifting around Morocco and Spain before returning to England. Sometime in 1967, he started Infinity, a band that did not have a lasting future, but one of the members was Ian McDonald, who was impressed with Sinfield’s talents as a lyricist, if not his abilities as a singer or guitarist.

paragraph: Section::::King Crimson.

paragraph: In 1968, McDonald decided to join Giles, Giles and Fripp, a progressive pop trio consisting of Michael Giles, Peter Giles, and Robert Fripp, who were looking to do more with music than their three-man line-up could manage. McDonald let the others know that he was already working with someone who could write lyrics. In their primordial form, Giles, Giles & Fripp, augmented by McDonald and ex-Fairport Convention vocalist Judy Dyble, recorded an early version of the McDonald-Sinfield song "I Talk to the Wind", which later became part of King Crimson's repertoire.

paragraph: Peter Giles left the group at about this time, to be replaced by Greg Lake, and Sinfield joined around the same time. In his own words, "I became their pet hippie, because I could tell them where to go to buy the funny clothes that they saw everyone wearing". Sinfield also came up with the name King Crimson. Sinfield loved working with the band and, in addition to writing the phantasmagorical lyrics that came to be part of King Crimson's trademark, he also ran the group's light-show at their concerts. Apart from writing lyrics for "In the Court of the Crimson King" (1969), "In the Wake of Poseidon" (1970), "Lizard" (1970) and "Islands" (1971), and offering advice on artwork, album design, and other details of the band's releases, Sinfield's musical role in the band was limited over the first four albums. He was not a good enough singer to contribute to the band's vocals, and the presence of Robert Fripp made his guitar playing superfluous. However, Sinfield occasionally added touches of EMS VCS 3 synthesizer, see, e.g., the "Ladies of the Road" album recorded live on tour in 1971 and '72 or "Indoor Games" and "Happy Family" on the "Lizard" album. Fripp became involved with other projects (most notably the Centipede orchestra), which left Sinfield with much of the responsibility for the final version and design of the album, including the uniquely ornate jacket. Even so, the relationship between Sinfield and Fripp had become increasingly strained as the band progressed. On their next album, "Islands", Sinfield began exploring new lyrical territory, with more sexual imagery juxtaposed with the languidly surreal title track. On 1 January 1972, however, following a tour of the United States, Fripp got tired of Sinfield's fantasy-based lyrics and Sinfield left.

paragraph: Section::::ELP, Roxy Music, PFM and "Still".

paragraph: In 1972, Sinfield remained associated with E.G. Records, which represented King Crimson and Roxy Music, and it was while Sinfield was producing Roxy Music's debut album and their hit single "Virginia Plain" that he first decided to try his own hand at recording a solo album. In 1973 he wrote English lyrics for the Italian group Premiata Forneria Marconi (also known as PFM) and produced their first album for ELP's Manticore Records, titled, "Photos of Ghosts" as well as "The World Became the World".

paragraph: Sinfield's debut album, "Still", united numerous former (Greg Lake, Mel Collins, Ian Wallace) and future (John Wetton) Crimson alumni. Sinfield intended "Still" as the start of a solo career, but while working on it, he was approached by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, who needed a lyricist of Sinfield's calibre. "Still" was originally released on ELP's own Manticore label in 1973, but Sinfield found himself subsumed into Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Already having a fear of the stage which he had little time to overcome due to writing demands, his solo career was put on hold and he worked with ELP for the next few years. During this time, Sinfield lived with his first wife Stephanie in The Mill House, Surrey, which was loaned to him by ELP. His neighbour was Gary Brooker of Procol Harum, with whom he co-wrote five songs on Brooker's first solo album "No More Fear of Flying". He also released a book containing his previous lyrics and poems titled "Under the Sky" (named after one of the lyrics from "Still"). In 1975, "I Believe in Father Christmas", a song co-written with Greg Lake was released.

paragraph: Section::::Ibiza years.

paragraph: After naively overestimating his wealth and underestimating his percentage of royalties from ELP, he moved to Ibiza to live as a tax exile, and enjoyed his first break from continual work in the music industry. Here he met a circle of artists, actors and painters and members of the Chelsea Arts Club such as Peter Unsworth and Barry Flanagan, eventually parting from his first wife. During his time in Ibiza, Sinfield had a break from songwriting and was able to spend his time travelling, socialising and reflecting, which he had been unable to do for the previous decade.

paragraph: During the late 1970s, he continued to move in communities around Spain. In 1978, following the success of his previous lyrics for Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Sinfield was asked by ELP to produce lyrics for their album "Love Beach", now regarded by many (including Sinfield himself) to be the worst of all ELP's albums. In 1978 he also narrated Robert Sheckley's "In a Land of Clear Colours", an audio sci-fi story released the following year on a limited edition of 1000 vinyl records. The backing music for the story was provided by Brian Eno, with whom Sinfield had previously worked while producing Roxy Music. By the time he returned to London in 1980, with his new Spanish wife (a model and runner-up for Miss Spain), he discovered that progressive rock music was no longer in demand, and that punk had emerged in the UK.

paragraph: In 1978–1980 Sinfield also wrote the lyrics for the English versions of "Alla fiera dell'est" ("Highdown Fair") and "La pulce d'acqua" ("Fables and Fantasies"), by Italian singer-songwriter Angelo Branduardi.

paragraph: Section::::Pop years.

paragraph: Upon his return to London in 1980, his publisher introduced him to Andy Hill, a composer and fellow songwriter. He and Sinfield collaborated on such hits as "The Land of Make Believe" by Bucks Fizz, which reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart, and became one of the biggest-selling hits of the decade. While re-educating himself to adapt to the pop music industry with the help of Hill, he returned to Spain, where he was already established in the communities within Ibiza and Barcelona, and as his career progressed, moved into a house in Majorca. At this time, he appeared on Spanish television programme "Musical Express", where he was interviewed and performed a set with Boz Burrell, Tim Hinkley, Michael Giles, Bobby Tench, Mel Collins and Gary Brooker.

paragraph: In the United Kingdom, he continued to release hits with Hill, such as "I Hear Talk" by Bucks Fizz and "Have You Ever Been in Love" by Leo Sayer (which they wrote with John Danter). He also co-wrote Five Star's "Rain or Shine" with Billy Livsey. After divorcing his wife and leaving Majorca, he returned to the UK around 1990 to a flat in Holland Park and continued to write lyrics for popular music. In 1993, he re-released his solo album as "Stillusion". In the same year, he and Hill released "Think Twice" by Celine Dion, which went on to become a massive hit and won an Ivor Novello Award for "Best Song Musically and Lyrically". Sinfield and Hill had won an Ivor Novello a decade previously, for the Leo Sayer track, "Have You Ever Been in Love".

paragraph: Section::::Haiku.

paragraph: There had been rumours of a second solo album, and Sinfield worked on it for a couple of years with vibraphone player and programmer Poli Palmer, formerly of Family. It was always a challenging project, made slightly more so by Sinfield's quadruple bypass operation in 2005. After a period of convalescence, Sinfield attempted to restart the project but it failed to take off.

paragraph: During this time Sinfield wrote an increasing number of haiku. After his appearance at the Genoa Poetry Festival at the Ducal Palace in June 2010, he has turned his creative energies more towards poetry.

paragraph: In 2012 wrote the lyrics for a song written by Italian avantgarde musician Max Marchini and singer Paola Tagliaferro, "Blossom On The Tree" and also read some verses on the same tune issued on the album "Milioni di Lune". In 2009 the Italian duo already wrote the music for a lyric written by Sinfield years before "Poem To A Blue Painting", published on the album "Chrysalis".

paragraph: He is still active as a writer, and gives interviews to the media concerning progressive music and his career as a songwriter. He appeared in the 2009 BBC documentary "Prog Rock Britannia: An Observation in Three Movements".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Sinfield now lives in Aldeburgh. He is still active within the songwriting community and is a member of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors committee. He underwent heart surgery in 2005, from which he is now fully recovered. He is a devoted herbalist and researcher of alternative medicine and has used various natural remedies to attempt to treat his own and others' health complaints. Sinfield's other main interests include cooking and gardening.

paragraph: Section::::Influences.

paragraph: Sinfield had a fairly unusual and colourful upbringing, being an only child (bar his adopted brother, Dennis) of a bisexual mother who ran a hair salon and one of the first burger bars in London in the 1950s. He grew up in a bohemian household, and claims to have vivid memories of extravagant and wonderful Christmases, later inspiring the lyrics for his hit "I Believe in Father Christmas", which recalled a lost and naive faith in Father Christmas. Sinfield claimed that "A Poet's Notebook" by Edith Sitwell had an important influence on his writing, as well as the works of William Blake, Kahlil Gibran, Shakespeare, Enid Blyton and various science fiction writers.

paragraph: Musically he was largely influenced by Bob Dylan and Donovan. Hearing Donovan's opening line of "Colours": "Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair"' was, Sinfield stated, the defining moment when he decided he had the desire and ability to start writing songs.

paragraph: Àngel Guimerà

paragraph: Àngel Guimerà (6 May 1845 or 6 May 1847 or 1849 – 18 July 1924), known also as Ángel Guimerá, was a Spanish Nobel-nominated writer in the Catalan language. His work is known for bringing together under romantic aspects the main elements of realism. He is considered one of the principal representatives of the so-called "Renaixença", at the end of the nineteenth century.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, to a Catalan father and a Canary islander mother. At an early age, Guimerà's family moved to Catalonia, where they settled at his father's birthplace, El Vendrell.

paragraph: Guimerà wrote a number of popular plays, which were translated into other languages and performed abroad, proving instrumental in the revival of Catalan language as a literary language (Renaixença) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By far, the most famous was his realistic drama "Terra baixa" ("Lowlands", also translated as "Martha of the Lowlands"). Written in 1896, it quickly became an international sensation. The play was translated into 15 different languages and the Spanish translation was presented regularly for a period of thirty years by Enric Borràs's theatre throughout Spain and Latin America. In English, the play received three Broadway productions between 1903 and 1936.

paragraph: In addition to being a popular stage play, "Terra baixa" was made into six films, including a silent film in the United States, entitled ""Martha of the Lowlands"" (1914) and Leni Riefenstahl's "Tiefland" (1954). Furthermore, it served as the source material for two operas: Eugen d'Albert's German opera "Tiefland" (1903) and Fernand Le Borne's "La Catalane" (French).

paragraph: Playwright Àngel Guimerà was nominated twety-three times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, though he never won, due to controversy about the political significance of the gesture. He was a candidate for the Nobel Prize in 1904, to be shared with the Provençal writer Frédéric Mistral, in recognition of their contributions to literature in non-official languages. Political pressure from Spain central government having made this prize impossible, it was eventually awarded to Mistral and to the Spanish language playwright José de Echegaray.

paragraph: When Guimerà died in 1924, he was offered a state funeral in Barcelona of a proportion which had never been seen before and was laid to rest on the Cemetery of Montjuïc.

paragraph: In his hometown of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a theater built in his name (Teatro Guimerá).

paragraph: Section::::Terra Baixa.

paragraph: "Terra baixa" is the story of Martha, a poor girl from Barcelona, who finds herself the young lover to Sebastià, the most important landowner in the Catalan lowlands. Sebastià must marry a woman of prominence to keep his land and inheritance. To squelch gossip of his relationship with Martha but still keep her as his lover, Sebastià marries her off to the unsuspecting Manelic, a young shepherd from the Pyrenees, and sets the newly weds up in the house attached to the town's mill. Martha finds herself torn between her old domineering lover and her new caring husband.

paragraph: Section::::La Filla del Mar.

paragraph: Another well-known work by Guimerà is the play "La filla del mar" (The daughter of the sea, 1900), that recounts the story of Agata (Agate).

paragraph: Her name is that of a precious stone, in sharp contrast to the contempt in which she is held.

paragraph: Her uncertain origins, and the fact that she had been born "among Moors" renders her an object of hate, branded as a heretic.

paragraph: One of the few people who does not exclude her is Baltasanet, who states that "When we are born, we are all Moors". Agata is perfectly conscious of the fact that she is considered a "nobody" and a "nuisance". "What evil have I done, that everyone despises me?", she asks. The discrimination she faces leads ultimately to her death.

paragraph: Agata feels attracted by the sea, which seems to be calling out to her, in the voices of her parents.

paragraph: For her there is a symbolic opposition between sea and earth, the latter being all about misery and tears, whereas the sea harbours peacefulness and truth. Drowning, for her, would be a return to the 'amniotic fluid' of the sea from which she was born.

paragraph: Like a sailor, she is strong, brave, and vital. At the same time she is sensitive, and when she finds in Pere Màrtir the affection she had desperately lacked, they are able to connect. She excuses his past as a ladies' man, but, overcome by jealousy, threatens him with death if he relapses.

paragraph: The story of Àgata involves numerous literary allusions and archetypes, from mythological aquatic characters, to the legend of Sappho committing suicide by throwing herself from a cliff into the sea.

paragraph: Section::::Tributes.

paragraph: The main theater of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the oldest on the Canary Islands, is called Teatro Guimerá after this playwrite. On the facade of the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes de Santa Cruz de Tenerife are a number of marble busts representing famous tinerfeños, among them Àngel Guimerà.

paragraph: Avenida Ángel Guimerá, where the theater is located, is also named after the playwrite and poet, as this was the street on which he was born.

paragraph: A seated bronze statue of Àngel Guimerà was made in Catalonia in 1920 by Josep Cardona i Furró (1878-1923). This original model was then expanded by Josep Maria Codina for Barcelona's Plaça del Pi in 1983. Two replicas were made of this statue, one of which was gifted to the town of El Vendrell (in the province of Tarragona) in 1986. The other is located opposite the stated Teatro Guimerá in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

paragraph: He was also named adopted son of Barcelona in 1909.

paragraph: William Rudolph Gruber, (December 17, 1890 – January 27, 1979) Brigadier general, was an instructor at the Army Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth when Dwight D. Eisenhower was a student there. Following Eisenhower's graduation, Gruber and his wife Helen Drennan Gruber were joined by Dwight D. and Mamie Eisenhower on a 17-day, 1800 mile motor trip through Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and France in 1929.

paragraph: They left Paris on August 28, 1929, and drove to Brussels, Belgium. Their route then took them to Bonn, Germany, south along the Rhine River to Coblenz, Heidelberg and through the Black Forest. They then went to Switzerland, spending seven days and visiting Zürich, Lucerne, Interlaken, Montreux, and Geneva, and surviving a harrowing crossing of the Furka Pass high in the Alps. From Switzerland the travelers went to Besançon, then to Romagne in France where they visited the American War Cemetery. While the ladies stayed to visit with a mutual friend, Gruber and Eisenhower toured the World War I battlefields in the area.

paragraph: Bessie Dunlop of Lynn

paragraph: Living in the 16th century Bessie Dunlop, Elizabeth Dunlop or Elizabeth Jack was an Ayrshire farmer's wife who was 'burned at the stake' at Edinburgh for the crime of sorcery, witchcraft, incantations, etc. Her case was unusual in the amount of fine detail related in her testimony and the lack of anything but positive or neutral outcomes of her recorded ministrations and actions. Her admission to the use of a 'familiar spirit' and association with the fairies were the main cause of her conviction and her death sentence. For consistency the name 'Bessie Dunlop' is used throughout.

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.

paragraph: Bessie was the wife of Andrew Jack of Lynn, Lyne, Lin or Linn a hamlet and the name of a glen through which the Caaf Water runs, lying in the Barony of Lynn, then owned by Robert, Master of Boyd, eldest son of Lord Boyd. It seems therefore that their farm lay near or at the bottom of the Lynn Glen on the Caaf Water, near Dalry in North Ayrshire, Scotland. She was married to Andrew Jack and her surname suggests an Ayrshire connection as the town of Dunlop in the old Cunninghame district lies in the nearby parish of Dunlop. She is recorded as driving cattle at one point and sheep are also mentioned together with a horse and a journey to Edinburgh and Leith with her husband to collect animal feed, so a small family farm is implied at the very least. Bessie also records a meeting at the 'Thorn of Dawmstarnik' which is probably Dalmusternock on the Kilmarnock to Glasgow road.

paragraph: A kiln is mentioned on one of the visits of Thomas Reid to Bessie's house and it is possible that her husband was the miller at one of the mills in the Lynn Glen. She was called the 'goodwife' which was one step down from a laird and a miller's wife would have a right to that assignation. She was of child bearing age at the time of these events and had surviving children with another born during the four-year period that she knew Thomas Reid.

paragraph: Her husband features very little in the story considering how often Thomas Reid is in her company, but very little evidence exists of any impropriety other than the breaking of relatively minor social conventions such as trying to tug her by her apron strings to encourage her to go to the elfhame. A John Jack is mentioned as the father of one of her patients.

paragraph: Section::::Association with Thomas Reid and the Queen of Elfland.:Thomas Reid.

paragraph: When Bessie Dunlop was accused of sorcery and witchcraft she answered her accusers that she received information on prophecies, the whereabouts of lost goods and the natural remedies from Thomas or Tom Reid, a former barony officer of Blair near Dalry who claimed to have been killed at the Battle of Pinkie some 29 years before in 1547. She describes him in terms of an elderly, well dressed, honest and respectable man with a long grey beard who carried a white wand. Bessie revealed to her interrogators that she had ""Never known him when he was alive"", but had first met Thomas or Tom Reid circa 1572 whilst driving cattle to the common grazing between her own house and the yard or garden of Monkcastle and after a discussion he then disappeared through a hole in a wall or dyke at Monkcastle garden, apparently a hole too small for a living person to pass through. Service records that he came out of a stone dyke, more than once, without reference to anything unusual.

paragraph: On their first meeting she had been crying and at a total loss with worry for a cow had died, her new born sickly child, she was still weak from her child birth exertions and finally her husband was taken with 'land ill' and she did not expect him to live. It was at this point that they had first met when he approached her.

paragraph: It has been proposed from a number of lines of reasoning that Thomas Reid was actually a Catholic priest or an adherent to that faith, in hiding within the new Protestant regime. He seems to have known her for he greets her with "Gude day, Bessie" and uses the Catholic greeting "Sancta Maria". When she tells him of her troubles he replies in a priest-like fashion first asking ""Why must tho make such dole and weeping for any earthly thing?"", adding that she must have angered God by questioning him and his advice was to make amends to the Almighty. He had expressed an opinion that the Reformation was not good and when he tries unsuccessfully to draw her away from Christianity he oddly adds a comment about the faith she took at the font-stone. The scene of their first meeting and his supposedly odd disappearance, Monkland or Monkcastle, was a former property of the abbots of Kilwinning Abbey that may have afforded a good place to hide and had many small holes or gaps in garden walls, an ice house, the main dwelling and its cellars, etc. that could be seen as too small to squeeze through, especially as he was at some distance from her at the time. He himself said that he lived with the fairies in the Elfhame.

paragraph: Thomas Reid's death at the Battle of Pinkie is unconfirmed, but his employer, John Blair, did die at the battle. The evidence for Thomas Reid being a ghost is not overwhelming for he is abroad during the day, physically able to hold objects, tug on her apron and even handle fruit, etc. His passage through a narrow hole in a wall or dyke is ambiguous at best and others being unaware of his presence in her house when her husband is busy talking to three tailors is again a matter of opinion as to how this should be interpreted. She is forbidden to speak to him when others are present, such as in Dalry and Edinburgh. His dealings with the members of the 'Court of the Elves' is also open to interpretation as to who they really were. The regular visits she made on his behalf to his son and relatives adds to the general picture of a man in hiding constantly covering his tracks as does an odd incident when Bessie visits a survivor of the Battle of Pinkie with proof of who sent her but no clear reason for the visit.

paragraph: Section::::Association with Thomas Reid and the Queen of Elfland.:The Court of the Elfhame.

paragraph: Bessie asked Thomas why she had been chosen as the recipient of his time, knowledge and advice, the answer was that he had been ordered to help her by the Queen of Elfland. It transpired that at the time of her recent labour a stout lady had come to her door seeking a drink and this was none other than the Queen herself. A drink had been provided and this element brings various tradition folklore aspects into the equation such as a changeling child as hers was sickly and both she and Thomas predicted its death as well as the recovery of her husband.

paragraph: Bessie once met Thomas at the 'Thorn of Dawmstarnik' (probably Dalmusternock Farm near Craufurdland Castle) on the Glasgow to Kilmarnock road where he tried to persuade her to deny Christendom in return for living a 'life of luxury'. She turned him down flat and he left in disgust however he appeared again not long after at her home and this time he had eight women and four men from the Court of Elfland who hoped to persuade her to join them. Oddly Thomas had advised her not to speak and they left with a horrible howling hurricane-like sound. They were dressed smartly and Thomas referred to them as 'good wights' or fairies.

paragraph: Bessie on one occasion had tied up her horse near Edinburgh at Restalrig Loch when she became aware of a group of riders passing and vanishing into the lake. Thomas explained that these were the fairies on one of their "cavalcades upon earth."

paragraph: Section::::Association with Thomas Reid and the Queen of Elfland.:The Elfhame of the Blair.

paragraph: An interesting associated aspect of Bessie Dunlop's story is that the extensive limestone Cleeves Cove site, one of Ayrshire's greatest natural history sites, lies on the Dusk Water only a few miles from Lynn Glen and Monkcastle. As the barony officer to the Blair Thomas Reid would have known this area well. Tradition records that the caves were the "Elfhame o'the Blair" or the 'Elfhouse' and the locals at that time believed that these magical creatures had made this their abode within the many chamber containing stalactites and stalagmites. At Halloween it was said they would come riding out of the caves on horses that were the size of mice, their long yellow hair straming or tied in knots with crimps of gold. Their quaichs were acorn cups and they drank wine beneath the toadstools. Their cloths were green velvet and their arrows were made of moss-reed tipped with flint arrow heads that were dipped in hemlock poison. The bows were made from the rib bones of unbaptised babies who had been secretly buried in the shaws and glens. It is not known how old these 'Elfhame' traditions are however excavation shows that it was dwelt in by man and was used by Covenanters seeking a hiding place from the king's troops.

paragraph: Section::::Healing and other practices.

paragraph: The veracity of Bessie's testimony at court will never be known for sure, however torture seems to have been used as Service records that a ""witch doctor, a skeillie man, was fetched frae yont Glesco' to deal wi' the case"". He goes on to say that she stripped and a search made for the Devil's Mark and she was also ""scored abune the breath"", that is being slashed with a knife above the mouth as a form of torture used on witches and that other tortures may have been used. She does not seem to have benefited financially from the help that she gave people although gifts of food are noted such as ""a peck of meal and some cheese"". Bessie had various clients from the aristocracy and merchant class, none of whom came to her assistance at her trial. The Laird of Stanely's wife, daughter of Lady Johnstone sought Bessie’s assistance when her daughter became ill and Bessie prepared a potion of strong ale, bolstered with ginger, cloves, aniseed and liquorice. Lady Kilbowie was suffering from a 'crooked leg' and Thomas this time advised that nothing could be done to help the elderly patient without making the condition worse. Lady Thirdpart in the barony of Renfrewshire involved Bessie in the search for gold coins stolen from her purse and indeed the money was found after Bessie named the thief.

paragraph: William Blair of the Strand in Dalry is an example of a person who received unsolicited advice. William Blair’s eldest daughter was due to be married to the Crawford Laird of Baidland. Bessie advised him of dire consequences if the marriage went ahead such as madness and suicide. The Laird of Baidland agreed to marry William Blair’s youngest daughter although the thoughts of the elder sister are not recorded.

paragraph: Bessie had some involvement in midwifery, disclosing that as usual she could do nothing for them without Thomas's assistance, specifically he gave her a green silk lace that she tied around her clients left arm in contact with the skin. She treated the children of John Jack and Wilson of Townhead with herbs and they recovered.

paragraph: Section::::Events leading to the trial and execution.

paragraph: Bessie's problems with the authorities seem to have started with the incident regarding the theft of a cloak belonging to a Hugh Scott. William

paragraph: Kyle, an Irvine burgess had come to her about this and after gaining a promise of him being discrete about her involvement she told him that the culprit was one Mally Boyd who had quickly made the cloak into a kirtle to disguise her actions. William Kyle dealt with this failure to recover the item by having Bessie arrested and confined in Irvine's tolbooth until released thanks to an influential acquaintance, James Blair.

paragraph: James Jamieson and James Baird of Mains of Watterton asked for Bessie's help over the theft of plough-irons, of which two blacksmiths, Gabriel and George Black, were accused and the items were said to have been moved to their father’s house at Locharside. The Archbishop of Glasgow, James Boyd of Trochrig, was brought into the affair when the blacksmiths took official steps to try and repair their reputations. William Dougal, sheriff's officer, is also said to have taken a bribe of £3 not to find the plough-irons.

paragraph: Bessie's public profile had been growing and unwanted attention was focussing on her activities. She was now accused by person or persons unknown of "the using of sorcerie, witchcraft and incantatione, with invocation of spretis of the devill, continewand in familiarite with thame, at all sic tymes as sche thocht expedient, deling with charmes, and abusing pepill with devillisch craft of sorcerie foirsaid .. usit thie divers yeiris bypast". This was in 1576, thirteen years after Scotland had passed the Witchcraft Act. She was taken to the High Court of Justiciary in Dalkeith 20 September 1576 and on 8 November she was found guilty and sentenced to be strangled and then burnt on Castle Hill in Edinburgh.

paragraph: Stuart W. Frost

paragraph: Stuart W. Frost (1891 - 1980) was a professor of entomology at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania. He was born in Tarrytown, New York, and graduated from Cornell University. He was a specialist in leaf-mining flies (Diptera). The Frost Entomological Museum at Penn State was named in his honor.

paragraph: Born in New York, Stuart W. Frost was trained in the legendary John Henry Comstock’s lab at Cornell. In his lifetime, Frost published over 200 papers and 4 books and proposed names for 46 species of Diptera. Over his four decades of affiliation with Penn State University, he added thousands of specimens to the entomological research collection.

paragraph: From an early age, Frost was interested in natural history, spending much of his free time exploring the New York scenery around him. He would fastidiously record his observations of the flora and fauna he encountered, occasionally bringing different species home for experimentation. At this time he also visited the American Museum of Natural History in New York, learning the different techniques of insect preservation.

paragraph: He began his undergraduate studies at Cornell University in 1911, receiving a laboratory assistantship in entomology. Frost assisted with a variety of classes with Professor Glenn W. Herrick, Dr. J.C. Bradley, and Dr. Robert Matheson. Graduating with his undergraduate degree in 1915, Frost took a job with the New York State Food Supply Commission, an organization that worked on optimizing food production during World War I. He attended Cornell University for graduate coursework from 1915 to 1918, collaborating with entomologists from a variety of institutions, particularly from institutions with museums.

paragraph: Frost then took a position at the Pennsylvania State College (now University) as an entomologist at the agricultural research station in Arendtsville, Pennsylvania, studying fruit tree pests. In 1923, he returned to Cornell for his graduate studies for another year, receiving his Ph.D. in 1925 with the thesis “A Study of Leafmining Diptera of North America” before moving back to the research station for 12 more years.

paragraph: In 1937, Frost received a professorship at Penn State University’s University Park campus, researching and developing light traps for insects. He subsequently began to organize a collection of insects within the Department of Zoology-Entomology with the hope of eventually creating an insect museum. In 1957, Frost retired as Professor Emeritus of Entomology and prepared Dr. K. C. Kim for succeeding him as curator of the museum.

paragraph: Following his retirement from Penn State University, Frost moved to Florida and utilized his light traps to collect over 400,000 specimens at the Archbold Biological Station until 1971. He then returned to Penn State to volunteer at the Frost Entomological Museum, identifying insects and working on publications until his death on January 21, 1980.

paragraph: Saint Suitbert, Suidbert, Suitbertus, Swithbert, or Swidbert was born in Northumbria, England, in the seventh century, and accompanied Willibrord on the Anglo-Saxon mission.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Suitbert studied in Ireland, at Rathmelsigi, Connacht, along with Ecgberht of Ripon. The latter, filled with zeal for the conversion of the Germans, had sent Wihtberht, to evangelize the Frisians, but owing to the opposition of the pagan ruler Rathbod, Wihtberht was unsuccessful and returned to England. Ecgberht then sent Willibrord and his twelve companions, among whom was Suitbert.

paragraph: They landed near the mouth of the Rhine and journeyed to Utrecht, which became their headquarters. The new missionaries worked with great success under the protection of Pepin of Heristal, who, having recently conquered a portion of Frisia, compelled Redbad, King of the Frisians to cease harassing the Christians. Suitbert laboured chiefly in North Brabant, Gelderland, and Cleves.

paragraph: After some years he went back to England, and in 693 was consecrated in Mercia as a missionary bishop by Wilfrid of York. He returned to Frisia and fixed his see at Wijk bij Duurstede on a branch of the Rhine. A little later, entrusting his flock of converts to Willibrord, he proceeded north of the Rhine and the Lippe, among the Bructeri, or Boructuari, in the district of Berg, Westphalia. This mission bore great fruit at first, but was eventually a failure owing to the inroads of the pagan Saxons; when the latter had conquered the territory.

paragraph: About the year 700 Suitbert withdrew to Werth, a small island that formed an important crossing point of the Rhine, six miles from Düsseldorf. It had been granted to him by Pepin of Heristal. There Suitbert built a Benedictine abbey and ended his days in peace, 1 March 713.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.

paragraph: His relics were rediscovered in 1626 at Kaiserwerth and are still venerated there. He is considered a patron saint of Germany. His feast day falls on 1 March.

paragraph: Richard Twiss (writer)

paragraph: Richard Twiss (1747–1821) was an English writer, known for books on travel and chess.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born at Rotterdam on 26 April 1747, he was the son of an English merchant living in Holland; Francis Twiss the writer was his younger brother. With an ample fortune, he travelled, and visited Scotland. He then journeyed through Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Bohemia till 1770, when he returned to England. In 1772 he went to Spain and Portugal, returning the following year. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1774; but left it in 1794. In 1775 he visited Ireland.

paragraph: John Writhe

paragraph: John Writhe (died 1504) was a long-serving English officer of arms. He was probably the son of William Writhe, who represented the borough of Cricklade in the Parliament of 1450–51, and is most remembered for being the first Garter King of Arms to preside over the College of Arms. Writhe is also notable for the contention that it was he who developed the system of heraldic cadency employed by English officers of arms to the present day.

paragraph: Section::::Heraldic career.

paragraph: It has been claimed that Writhe began his career as Antelope Pursuivant or Rouge Croix Pursuivant under Henry V, but this is doubtful. By February 1474 he had been appointed Falcon Herald. On 25 January 1477 Edward IV made him Norroy King of Arms and on 6 July 1478, he was promoted to Garter Principal King of Arms. Writhe officiated at Edward's funeral in April 1483 and at Richard III's coronation the following July. As Garter he also took part in the coronation of Henry VII who reappointed him on 13 February 1486 with back pay to the date of Bosworth.

paragraph: Writhe was the first Garter of the College of Arms, which had been incorporated in March 1484. Contrary to popular belief, though, the College did not take its own coat of arms from Writhe; the converse is more likely. As Falcon and Garter he was employed on numerous diplomatic missions to Scotland and the continent, and at least once to Ireland. An experienced armorist, Writhe collected and compiled many important armorial and genealogical manuscripts. In 1498 King Henry VII granted him and Roger Machado, Clarenceux King of Arms, a joint licence to make visitations.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Writhe may have lived in Red Cross Street, adjoining Barbican House in London. After Writhe's death, his son Thomas styled him Sir John but there is no proof that he was ever knighted. His first marriage was to Barbara, daughter and heir of John Dunstanville. This union brought about the aforementioned Thomas (who was himself the father of Charles Wriothesley, Windsor Herald); William, York Herald; and two daughters, the elder of whom married John Mynne, another York Herald. Writhe died some time during May 1504 and was buried in St Giles-without-Cripplegate.
