paragraph: Jan Axel Blomberg

paragraph: Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg (born August 2, 1969) is a Norwegian heavy metal drummer. He is best known as the drummer of Mayhem, which he joined in 1988. In 1987 Blomberg formed the avant-garde black metal band Arcturus (under the name Mortem) with Steinar Sverd Johnsen, which broke up in April 2007 and reunited in 2011. He named himself after the Swiss extreme metal band Hellhammer. Praised as a talented musician, Blomberg is a three-time winner of the Spellemannprisen award.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: As a child Blomberg's main interests were football (soccer) and wrestling. At first he had no interest in drums or drumming, but as music became more appealing to him he started to find the different instruments interesting, which eventually led to an interest in drums. His grandparents purchased him his first three drum kits; the first one was a four-piece jazz kit. With these he began learning how to play drums by playing along with albums he listened to. He was into heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica and Slayer, but also bands like Depeche Mode and Duran Duran. He then found out about Venom and Celtic Frost and eventually jazz, due to influences from a past drum teacher.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Music career.

paragraph: Before joining Mayhem, Jan Axel Blomberg played in various local bands, including the progressive metal band Tritonus, where he met Carl August Tidemann, the man who became the Arcturus and Winds guitarist. He did some live performances as well, and then was hired by Mayhem, who needed to replace Kjetil Manheim; Blomberg got the job and took the pseudonym Hellhammer.

paragraph: The first recordings he did with Mayhem were two songs for a compilation album around 1989, with the songs "Carnage" and "The Freezing Moon". The first proper recording he did with Mayhem was "Live in Leipzig" in 1990. After that album, Mayhem had some trouble with the line up due to the suicide of the singer Dead and Necrobutcher's departure from the band. During this time he founded the band Arcturus together with Sverd in 1991, out of the remains of the band Mortem. They released the 7" "My Angel" in 1991 and later the mini album "Constellation".

paragraph: In 1995 he joined Immortal as a session drummer during their tour that year, he also agreed to play drums on their first official Video, "Grim and Frostbitten Kingdoms". He also briefly played for Emperor during this period. The recording and release of the Arcturus debut album "Aspera Hiems Symfonia" also happened this year.

paragraph: In 1997 Jan Axel began working with Covenant, now known as The Kovenant, for the recording of their second album, "Nexus Polaris". That album was released in 1998 with a following European tour. During 1997 Arcturus also released another album, "La Masquerade Infernale".

paragraph: The next year another album from The Kovenant was released, "Animatronic".

paragraph: During the year 2000 he recorded a mini album with his new band Winds, "Of Entity And Mind", which was released in May 2001. Winds also recorded a full-length album during spring 2001, "Reflections of the I".

paragraph: Jan Axel is now a two-time Norwegian Grammy Awards winner, in 1998 for The Kovenant with "Nexus Polaris" and in 1999 for The Kovenant with "Animatronic". They claimed the prize for best hard rock album both years. In addition to these mentioned involvements, Jan Axel has also done numerous appearances as a guest or session musician on other releases.

paragraph: In 2005, he was interviewed for the black metal mini-documentary that was included with the 2-disc DVD edition of "", in addition to other Mayhem members Necrobutcher (Jørn Stubberud) and Blasphemer (Rune Eriksen).

paragraph: In 2009, Hellhammer appeared on Eyes of Noctum's album "Inceptum", where he played drums on six tracks. Eyes of Noctum are a black metal band from America featuring Weston Cage, son of Nicolas Cage as their lead singer.

paragraph: Hellhammer played with keyboardist Andy Winter on one of his albums.

paragraph: Also in 2010, Hellhammer played on Nidingr's album "Wolf-Father". In 2011 Arcturus reunited, Hellhammer included, and released "Arcturian" in 2015.

paragraph: Section::::Controversy.

paragraph: He has courted controversy in the past by making numerous racist comments and advocating violence against homosexuals. The black metal biography "Lords of Chaos" quotes him as saying, "I'll put it this way, we don't like black people here. Black metal is for white people... I'm pretty convinced that there are differences between races as well as everything else. I think that like animals, some races are more ... you know, like a cat is much more intelligent than a bird or a cow, or even a dog, and I think that's also the case with different races." Blomberg said in a 2004 interview, "I don't give a crap if the fans are white, black, green, yellow, or blue. For me music and politics don't go hand in hand." In the 2008 documentary film "Until the Light Takes Us" he says that he "honor[s]" Bård G. "Faust" Eithun for killing a "fucking faggot".

paragraph: Salomon Garf

paragraph: Salomon Garf (6 December 1879, Amsterdam – 27 August 1943, Auschwitz) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist; known for his portraits and still lifes.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born to a family of diamond merchants and his father worked as a stockbroker. Rather than follow in the family business, he chose a career in art, studying at the "Institute for Applied Arts" (1892–1895), the "State Normal School for Applied Arts" (1895–1899) and the Rijksakademie (1899–1905), where he worked with August Allebé and Nicolaas van der Waay. In 1904, he entered the Prix de Rome with his depiction of the Raising of the son of the woman of Shunem, but the prize went to Jan Sluijters.

paragraph: After graduating, he moved to the artists' colony in Laren and was married there two years later. In 1914, he won the Willink van Collenprijs for a painting of his studio. That same year, he and his family moved back to Amsterdam. In Laren, he had focused on painting rural interiors and still lifes. Once he had become established in Amsterdam, he mostly produced portraits and interior scenes with elegantly dressed women. His wife died in 1928, and he never remarried. He was a member of Arti et Amicitiae and, in 1933, was awarded their golden medal on behalf of Queen Wilhelmina.

paragraph: In 1938, he became a member of Arti's Board of Directors, but was expelled from the organization in 1941, by orders of the German occupation command. He then became active in the Resistance, helping to forge false "Persoonsbewijzen" (Identity Cards). On August 6, 1943, he was arrested and sent to Auschwitz, by way of the Westerbork transit camp, and was put to death. His students managed to save the contents of his studio before they were confiscated.

paragraph: Annie Jiagge

paragraph: Annie Ruth Jiagge (née Baëta; 7 October 1918 – 12 June 1996), also known as Annie Baëta Jiagge"," was a Ghanaian lawyer, judge and women's rights activist. The first Ghanaian woman to become a lawyer, she was also the first woman in Ghana and the Commonwealth of Nations to become a judge. She was a principal drafter of the Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women and a co-founder of the organisation that became Women's World Banking.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Annie Ruth Baeta was born on 7 October 1918 in Lomé, French Togoland. Her parents were schoolteacher,Henrietta Baëta and Presbyterian minister, Robert Domingo Baëta. She belonged to the Ewe ethnic group of southeastern Ghana and Togo. A member of the notable Baëta family, she was one of eight children, though only Annie and her siblings Christian, Lily, and William lived to adulthood. Her older brother, Christian Baëta was an academic and Presbyterian minister who was elected the Synod Clerk of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast from 1945 to 1949 and was instrumental in the establishment of the University of Ghana, Legon in 1948. Her parents wanted her to have an English education and she lived in the coastal town of Keta (then in British Togoland) with her maternal grandmother.

paragraph: Baeta attended Achimota College and earned her teacher's certificate in 1937. She was Headmistress and Schoolteacher at the Evangelical Presbyterian Girls School from 1940 to 1946. After the buildings of the Evangelical Presbyterian School for Girls were washed away by the ocean in 1940, the girls were moved to the Evangelical Presbyterian School for Boys. The school was overcrowded, and Baeta knew it would be difficult to find funding for new buildings. She approached the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Choir and transformed it into a drama group that put on the George F. Rool musical "David the Shepherd Boy". The performances were successful and the group was invited to perform in major Gold Coast cities and in Togo. Baeta was able to raise funds for a new school for the girls that was built by December 1945.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.:Studies in London.

paragraph: Baeta's time with the Evangelical Presbyterian Girls School was fulfilling but left her restless. She passed the London Matriculation Examination in 1945. Her elder brother Christian made inquiries to the University of London on her behalf and her mother secured loans for her. She was admitted to the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1946. Her male colleagues from the Gold Coast urged her to abandon her studies, thinking them too difficult for a woman. One offered to arrange a position for her at the Paris Academy to study dress design. She told them she would return to the Gold Coast if she didn't pass her first examination. She passed, and was no longer bothered by the men. She received her LLB in 1949 and was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn the following year. Baëta also participated in religious and social work during her free time in London. She worked with youth camps organised by the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) and was elected to the Executive Committee of the World YWCA during her final years as a student.

paragraph: Section::::Legal career, women's rights activism and legacy.

paragraph: Baeta established a private practice upon her return to the Gold Coast in 1950. She led a public relations initiative to establish a national YWCA for the colony and a documentary film was produced as part of the drive to educate the public about the organisation. Baeta married Fred Jiagge on 10 January 1953. She gave up the Bar and became a magistrate for the Bench in June 1953. In 1954, she began regularly attending the conferences of the World Council of Churches. From 1955 to 1960, she was president of the YWCA. She and her husband adopted a child, Rheinhold, in 1959. In 1959, she became a judge for the Circuit Court.

paragraph: After learning of a young woman who was raped in Accra after coming there from the countryside for a job interview, Jiagge sought government assistance to provide safe accommodations for visiting women. She secured an audience with Ghanaian president Kwame Nkrumah and convinced him of the project's importance. She spearheaded a successful campaign in 1961 that raised substantial funds for a YWCA women's hostel. That year she became a judge of the High Court of Justice. From 1961 to 1976 she was a council member of the University of Ghana. In 1962 she was appointed to represent Ghana on the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. She was asked to chair the Commission to Investigate the Assets of Senior Public Servants and Named Political Leaders in 1966. She championed women's rights through her work at the United Nations, representing Ghana through 1972. In 1966, she was elected rapporteur of the Commission. During a meeting in Iran in 1967, the Commission was charged with preparing a document on the elimination of discrimination against women. Worried that a draft wouldn't be finished by the time they left Iran, Jiagge met other members of the team, including Iranian Princess Ashraf Pahlavi, and drafted the document in a single night. It was sent to UN member-states for comment and was later adopted. The Declaration was an important precursor to the legally binding 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Jiagge was elected chair of the Commission's 21st session in 1968.

paragraph: Jiagge was awarded the Grand Medal of Ghana and the Gimbles International Award for Humanitarian Works in 1969. She was named a judge of the Court of Appeal that same year, the highest court in Ghana at the time. She was the first female judge of the Court of Appeal. She was awarded an honorary law degree from the University of Ghana in 1974. In 1975, she founded the Ghana National Council on Women and Development and was its first chair. As chair, she convened a meeting of Ghanaian women to learn their views on Equality, Development and Peace, the theme of the 1975 International Women's Conference in Mexico. She learned that access to credit was a priority for her country's women and led Ghana's delegation to the conference. She and others pledged seed money for a women's bank, and the organisation Stitching to Promote Women's World Banking (now Women's World Banking) was founded and headquartered in New York. She later served on the board of Women's World Banking in Ghana. Jiagge also served as a president of the World Council of Churches from 1975 to 1983. In 1979, she was a member of the constituent assembly which wrote the constitution of the Ghana's Third Republic. She was the World Council of Churches' moderator for their Program to Combat Racism from 1984 to 1991 and mobilised against South Africa's system of apartheid.

paragraph: Jiagge was appointed President of the Court of Appeal in 1980. That year she led the Ghanaian delegation again to the International Women's Conference in Copenhagen. She remained President of the Court of Appeal until her retirement in 1983. She helped plan the Fourth World Conference on Women as a member of the UN Secretary-General's advisory group that year. In 1985 she served on a United Nations panel that conducted Public Hearings on the Activities of Transnational Corporations in South Africa and Namibia. She also served on the Committee of Experts who drafted Ghana's Constitution in 1991.

paragraph: From 1993 until her death, Jiagge served on Ghana's Council of State. She died on 12 June 1996 in Accra. The Justice Annie Jiagge Memorial Lectures were established by the Ministry of Women and Children in 2009. A boarding house, the "Annie Baëta Jiagge House," formerly, "House 17," at her alma mater, Achimota School was named in her memory in recognition of her role as a trailblazer in the legal profession in Ghana.

paragraph: Georg Mohr

paragraph: Jørgen Mohr (Latinised "Georg(ius) Mohr"; 1 April 1640 – 26 January 1697) was a Danish mathematician, known for being the first to prove the Mohr–Mascheroni theorem, which states that any geometric construction which can be done with compass and straightedge can also be done with compasses alone.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mohr was born in Copenhagen, the son of a tradesman named David Mohrendal. Beginning in 1662 he traveled to the Netherlands, to study mathematics with Christiaan Huygens. In 1672 he published his first book, "Euclides Danicus", simultaneously in Copenhagen and Amsterdam, in Danish and Dutch respectively. This book, proving the Mohr–Mascheroni theorem 125 years earlier than Lorenzo Mascheroni, would languish in obscurity until its rediscovery in 1928. Mohr served in Franco-Dutch War in 1672–1673, and was taken prisoner by the French. By 1673, he had published his second book, "Compendium Euclidis Curiosi". A third book was later mentioned by Mohr's son; for many years this was believed to be the "Gegenübung auf Compendium Euclidis Curiosi" but argue that it must be a different book, and that the "Gegenübung" has a different author. As well as his work on geometry, Mohr contributed to the theory of nested radicals, with the aim of simplifying Cardano's formula for the roots of a cubic polynomial.

paragraph: While in the Netherlands, Mohr became a friend of Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus. The two visited Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in France and John Collins in England together. Mohr returned to Denmark in 1681; he had dedicated "Euclides Danicus" to Christian V and hoped for a position in exchange, but was offered only a position as a shipyard supervisor, which he declined. He married Elizabeth von der Linde of Copenhagen on July 19, 1687, and soon after returned to Holland; their son, Peter Georg Mohrenthal, eventually settled in Dresden as a bookseller and publisher. In 1695 he took a job with Tschirnhaus, and spent his last few years as a guest in Tschirnhaus's house. He died in Kieslingswalde near Görlitz, Germany.

paragraph: The Danish Mathematics competition is named in honour of Mohr.

paragraph: Antenor (, "Antḗnōr";  ) was an Athenian sculptor. He is recorded as the creator of the joint statues of the tyrannicides Harmodius and Aristogeiton funded by the Athenians on the expulsion of Hippias. These statues were carried away to Susa by Xerxes I of Persia during the Greco-Persian Wars. Archaeologists have also established that a basis signed by "Antenor son of Eumares" belonged to a set of female figures in an archaic style which were displayed in the acropolis. The sculptor of the "Harmodius and Aristogeiton" is usually listed as the son of Euphranor.

paragraph: Thijsje Oenema

paragraph: Thijsje Oenema (born 6 June 1988) is a Dutch speed skater and "short-track sprinter". She is specialised on the short distances.

paragraph: Oenema skates for the VPZ skating team and is a member for skating club S.T.D. Sint Nicolaasga. Her breakthrough was during the 2009 KNSB Dutch Single Distance Championships, winning the bronze medal at the 500 m. This was very surprising because in the 2007–08 season she was not able to skate because of Pfeiffer's disease. With this third place she qualified for the first time for the World Cup.

paragraph: Oenema also showed that season that she is also very strong at the 100 m. In 2006 and 2007 she was already the Dutch champion at this distance. In 2009, she regained her title she lost in the year before by winning on the ice of Lekkerkerk. In the same season she took the title at the Dutch championships supersprint.

paragraph: Although her start of the season 2010 was weak, she managed to qualify for the Olympics in Vancouver by beating Marianne Timmer in a skate-off.

paragraph: Pablo Riccheri

paragraph: Pablo Riccheri (August 8, 1859 – July 29, 1936) was an Argentine army officer and minister of war during the second administration of president Julio Roca.

paragraph: Section::::Life and times.

paragraph: Riccheri was born in San Lorenzo, Santa Fe to Catalina Ciufardi and Lazzaro Riccheri, both Italian immigrants from the Region of Liguria. He enrolled at the National War College on a scholarship, and graduated with honors in 1879 as a second lieutenant. He subsequently completed higher studies at the Royal Military Academy of Belgium, in Brussels. where he presented a thesis on the defense of Belgium and earned an officer's degree in 1883.

paragraph: Riccheri was promoted to captain and returned to Argentina in 1886. The following year, he was transferred to the Argentine Embassy in Berlin as a military attaché. He was named director of the European bureau of the Argentine Armaments Commission in 1890 and of the Technical Commission on Armaments in 1895, in which capacity he purchased a large shipment of new Mauser rifles and cannons for 18 artillery batteries, and had a rail line to Neuquén built for the Argentine Army. He was named colonel, and in 1898 returned to Argentina as Director General of the National War Arsenal.

paragraph: Riccheri married Dolores Murature in 1901; she was the granddaughter of Commodore José Félix Murature, a hero of the Cisplatine War of the 1820s. Their family life was marked by tragedy, however. Their first daughter died within hours of birth and a second daughter at age 11, as a result of which Mrs. Riccheri developed clinical depression.

paragraph: President Julio Roca subsequently appointed Riccheri Army Chief of Staff, and on July 13, 1900, citing his "intelligent furor and single-minded dedication to our military procurement needs," President Roca named him the nation's War Minister. His tenure was marked by ongoing efforts to modernize the Argentine Armed Forces amid tensions in Argentina-Chile relations resulting from the Beagle and Puna de Atacama disputes. Riccheri reorganized the War Department; restored the Regiment of Mounted Grenadiers (protagonists during the Argentine War of Independence and the Cisplatine War, though inactive since 1826); streamlined the National War College and other instructional institutions, enacting standardized testing; commissioned the establishment of Army bases of Campo de Mayo (Greater Buenos Aires), General Paz (Córdoba), Campo de los Andes (Mendoza), Paracao (Paraná), and General Belgrano (Salta); and divided the Army into twenty (later, seven) geographic regions. He also advanced the landmark Law 4.301 (the Ricchieri Act) of 1901, which mandated compulsory military service for a minimum of one year for able-bodied Argentine men at age 18; conscription (colloquially known in Argentina as "la colimba") would remain in force until 1995.

paragraph: Riccheri supported proposed military action against neighboring Chile over ongoing border disputes. War, however, was averted by the May Pacts and the Treaty of Arbitration, both signed in 1902. He was promoted to the rank of brigadier general in 1904 and retired from his post as War Minister upon the end of President Roca's term in October. He served briefly as Director of the National War College between October 1904 and January 1905.

paragraph: He again served as Army Chief of Staff and was promoted to the rank of major general in 1910. Riccheri believed the military should remain a disinterested party in Argentine politics. He nevertheless lent his support in 1909 to UCR leader Hipólito Yrigoyen's call for universal male suffrage and the secret ballot (reforms opposed by the ruling National Autonomist Party). These reforms were ultimately enacted with the Sáenz Peña Law of 1912.

paragraph: Riccheri and explorer Francisco Moreno co-founded the Argentine Boy Scouts Association on July 4, 1912; he served as its first secretary, during Moreno's tenure as President of "Scouts de Argentina", and succeeded Moreno as its president upon the latter's death in 1919. Ricchieri was commissioned in 1916 to prepare a situational appraisal of World War I for the Argentine Government, which at that point considered enlisting troops to the aid of the Triple Entente allies. He retired in 1922 as a lieutenant general.

paragraph: Twelve years later, in recognition of his distinguished military service, he was promoted to Army General by President Agustín Justo. Riccheri was also honored abroad, receiving the Order of the Red Eagle (Germany), merit badges from Chile and France, and an appointment as Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown.

paragraph: He died in Buenos Aires in 1936 and was buried with the highest military honors in La Recoleta Cemetery. National Route A002, which links Buenos Aires to the Ministro Pistarini International Airport, was named in his honor in 1952.

paragraph: Zubayr ibn al-Awam

paragraph: Az-Zubayr ibn Al-Awam (; 594–656) was a companion of Muhammad and a commander in the Rashidun army.

paragraph: Section::::Family and Childhood.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr was born in Mecca in 594.

paragraph: His father was Al-Awam ibn Khuwaylid of the Asad clan of the Quraysh tribe, making Al-Zubayr a nephew of Khadijah. His mother was Muhammad's aunt, Safiyyah bint ‘Abd al-Muttalib, hence Al-Zubayr was Muhammad's first cousin. He had two brothers, Sa'ib and Abdul Kaaba; a maternal brother, Safi ibn Al-Harith, who was from the Umayya clan; and several paternal siblings, including Hind bint Al-Awwam, a wife of Zayd ibn Haritha.

paragraph: While he was still a boy, Al-Zubayr fought an adult man and beat him up so fiercely that the man’s hand was broken. Safiya, who was pregnant at the time, had to carry the man home. When the passers-by asked what had happened, she told them, "He fought Al-Zubayr. Did you find Al-Zubayr soft like cheese or dates or full of brass?" That's when they knew that he would grow up to be strong during war.

paragraph: Al-Awam died while Al-Zubayr was still young. His mother used to beat him severely. When it was said to her, "You have killed him! You have wrenched his heart. Will you destroy the boy?" she replied, "I beat him so that he will be intelligent and will be bold in the battle."

paragraph: Al-Zubayr is described as of medium height, lean, dark-complexioned and hairy, though with a thin beard. His hair hung down to his shoulders, and he did not dye it after it turned white.

paragraph: Section::::Conversion to Islam.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr was one of the first five men to accept Islam under the influence of Abu Bakr, and is said to have been the fourth or fifth adult male convert.

paragraph: He was one of the first fifteen emigrants to Abyssinia in 615, and he returned there in 616. While he was in Abyssinia, a rebellion against the "Negus" (King) broke out. The "Negus" met the rebels on the banks of the Nile. The Muslims, greatly worried about losing their protector, delegated Al-Zubayr to be their news-bearer. Helped by an inflated waterskin, he swam down the Nile until he reached the point where the battle was being fought. He watched until the "Negus" had defeated the rebels, then swam back to the Muslims. He ran up waving his clothes and announced, "Hurrah, the "Negus" has conquered and God has destroyed his enemies and established him in his land!" The Muslims rejoiced.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr was among those who returned to Mecca in 619 because they heard that the Meccans had converted to Islam. "But when they got near to Mecca, they learned that the report was false, so that they entered the town under the protection of a citizen or by stealth." However, Al-Zubayr did not name his protector.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr joined the general emigration to Medina in 622. At first he lodged with Al-Mundhir ibn Muhammad. It is disputed who became Al-Zubayr’s "brother" in Islam: variant traditions name Abdullah ibn Masood, Talha ibn Ubaydullah, Kaab ibn Malik and Salama ibn Salama. Muhammad gave him a large plot of land to build his house and a grant of some palm trees. In 625 Al-Zubayr was given more palm trees from the land of the expelled Nadir tribe.

paragraph: It is said that Al-Zubayr joined all of Muhammad's military expeditions, typically dressed in a distinctive yellow turban.

paragraph: Section::::Military Activity under Muhammad.:Badr.

paragraph: At the Battle of Badr he was sent as a scout and he captured a Meccan spy. He then fought in the battle and killed Ubayda ibn Sa'id of the Umayya.

paragraph: Section::::Military Activity under Muhammad.:Uhud.

paragraph: At the Battle of Uhud he volunteered to take up Muhammad's sword "with its right," which was to "smite the enemy with it until it bends," and was "much mortified" when Muhammad rejected his offer. He was standing so close to the fleeing Meccan women that he could see Hind bint Utbah's anklets. But it was at that point that the battle turned; Al-Zubayr was one of the handful of men who stood beside Muhammad when the Muslims in their turn fled and who accompanied him to the glen. "He was firm with him in the Battle of Uhud and he gave him allegiance to the death."

paragraph: Section::::Military Activity under Muhammad.:The Trench.

paragraph: During the Battle of the Trench, Al-Zubayr rode a roan horse. He volunteered to bring news of the Qurayza tribe to Muhammad, who responded, "Every Prophet has a disciple, and my disciple is Al-Zubayr."

paragraph: Section::::Military Activity under Muhammad.:Khaybar.

paragraph: In 628 Al-Zubayr joined the expedition to Khaybar and answered Yasir the Jew’s challenge to single combat. His mother Safiya asked Muhammad, "Will he kill my son?" and Muhammad reassured her, "No, your son will kill him, Allah willing." Al-Zubayr advanced reciting:

paragraph: poem""Khaybar, know that I am Zabbar,"

paragraph: "chief of a people no cowardly runaways,"

paragraph: "the son of those who defend their glory,"

paragraph: "the son of princes."

paragraph: "O Yasir let not all the unbelievers deceive you,"

paragraph: "for all of them are like a slowly moving mirage.""/poem

paragraph: They fought, and Al-Zubayr killed Yasir. Afterwards the Muslims commented on how sharp his sword must have been; Al-Zubayr replied that it had not been sharp but he had used it with great force.

paragraph: After the Muslims had conquered Al-Qamus, the Jewish treasurer, Kinana, was brought to Muhammad, but he refused to reveal where their money was hidden. Muhammad then ordered Al-Zubayr to "torture him until you extract what he has." Al-Zubayr "kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead." However, it was Muhammad ibn Maslama who actually decapitated Kinana, in retaliation for his brother Mahmud, who had been killed in the battle a few days earlier.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr was later made one of the eighteen chiefs who each supervised the division of a block of booty-shares.

paragraph: Section::::Military Activity under Muhammad.:Mecca.

paragraph: In December 629, on the eve of the Conquest of Mecca, Muhammad sent Al-Zubayr and Ali to intercept a spy who was carrying a letter to the Quraysh. When they could not find the letter in her baggage, they realised she must have concealed it on her person, so they threatened to strip her. The spy then produced the letter, which she had hidden in her hair, and Al-Zubayr and Ali brought it back to Muhammad, confident that the Muslims would now take Mecca by surprise.

paragraph: When Muhammad entered Mecca, Al-Zubayr held one of the three banners of the Emigrants and commanded the left wing of the conquering army. He also fought at the Battle of Hunayn.

paragraph: Section::::Career After Muhammad.

paragraph: In the third week of July 632, the Caliph Abu Bakr scraped together an army mainly from the Banu Hashim (the clan of Muhammad) to defend Medina from an imminent invasion by the apostate forces of Tulayha, a self-proclaimed prophet. The army included stalwarts like Zubayr, and Talha ibn Ubaidullah. Each of them was appointed as commander of one-third of the newly organised force. They had their roles during the Ridda Wars; however, they did not face any combat scenaria.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr was the most successful field commander during the Muslim conquest of Egypt under Caliph Umar. He commanded a regiment in the decisive Battle of Yarmouk in 636, and in 640 he commanded the reinforcements sent to Amr ibn al-As in Egypt.

paragraph: When Umar was dying in 644, he selected Al-Zubayr and five other men to elect the next Caliph. They duly elected Uthman, during whose caliphate, Al-Zubayr was not involved in political or military matters.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr was cautious about narrating "ahadith" about Muhammad even though he had been constantly in his company. As he explained to his son Abdullah, "I heard Allah’s Messenger say, ‘Anyone who tells a lie about me should take a seat in the Fire.'"

paragraph: Section::::Wives and Children.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr married eight times and had twenty children.

paragraph: BULLET::::7. Tumadir bint Al-Asbagh of the Kalb tribe, a widow of Abdur Rahman ibn Awf. Al-Zubayr divorced her only seven days after the wedding. She used to tell other women, "When one of you marries, she should not be deceived by seven days after what Al-Zubayr has done to me." She did not, however, enlarge on the nature of the "deception".

paragraph: BULLET::::8. Umm Jaafar Zaynab bint Marthad of the Thaalaba tribe.

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Ubayda

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Jaafar

paragraph: Al-Zubayr's wives complained that he had "some harshness towards women". Asma wanted a divorce after he tied her and her (unnamed) co-wife together by their hair and beat both of them "severely". Abu Bakr advised his daughter that Al-Zubayr was a "righteous" man, and therefore she should not leave him, or remarry after his death, because her reward for her patience would be to be reunited with him in Paradise. Asma also recalled: "Whenever he reprimanded one of us, he would break off a branch from the wooden clothes hangers and beat her with it until he broke it over her." Umm Kulthum asked him directly for a divorce, and when he refused, she tricked him into it by pestering him while he was busy with the ritual washing for prayer. Al-Zubayr complained, "She tricked me, may Allah trick her!" Muhammad advised him to propose to her again, but Al-Zubayr realized that, "She will never come back to me." Atiqa only agreed to marry him on condition that he would never beat her.

paragraph: Section::::The Battle of the Camel.

paragraph: Uthman was assassinated in 656. Al-Zubayr had reason to hope that he would be elected as the next Caliph, although he knew that his old ally Talha was also a strong contender. But Ali was elected, to the outrage of Muhammad’s widow Aisha. Thereupon Al-Zubayr met with Aisha and Talha in Mecca, claiming he had only given allegiance to Ali at swordpoint.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr, Talha and Aisha called for Uthman’s death to be avenged, and while Ali agreed, he said that he was not able to do this at the time. The allies then collected an army and marched to Basra. In Basrah, however, they defeated the Governor and took over the city, putting to death everyone who had been implicated in the assassination of Uthman. When they were challenged over why they now cared about Uthman when they had shown him so much hostility during his lifetime, they claimed: "We wanted Uthman to meet our demands. We didn’t want him to be killed."

paragraph: Ali certainly behaved like a man who suspected hostility towards himself, for he soon entered Basra with a professional army of twenty thousand. For several days, there were negotiations, as both sides asserted they wanted only to see justice done. But on 7 December 656 hostilities erupted. Aisha's warriors killed Ali's messenger-boy, and Ali responded, "Battle is now justified, so fight them!" So

paragraph: Al-Zubayr, however, had lost the desire to fight. He said that Ali had talked him out of it during the negotiations on the grounds that they were cousins; but his son accused him of fearing Ali’s army. Al-Zubayr left the battle-field while Aisha continued to direct her troops. A man named Amr ibn Jurmuz decided to track his movements and followed him to a nearby field. It was time for prayer so, after each had asked the other what he was doing there, they agreed to pray. While Al-Zubayr was prostrating, Amr ibn Jurmuz stabbed him in the neck and killed him.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In his will Al-Zubayr had left a house for all of his divorced daughters. He left a third of his property in bequests and instructed his son Abdullah to sell the rest of his property to pay off his debts, invoking Allah if any could not be paid. Abdullah found that the debts amounted to 1,200,000, presumably in "dirhams". Although Abdullah went to some trouble to settle all the debts, Al-Zubayr’s four widows eventually inherited 1,100,000 each, leaving over 30,000,000 to be divided among his children.

paragraph: Al-Zubayr ibn Al-Awam was one of the ten Muslims to whom Muhammad guaranteed Paradise while they were still alive.

paragraph: Alberht of East Anglia

paragraph: Alberht (also Ethælbert, Albert or Æthelberht I; ruled 749  – about 760) was an eighth century king of East Anglia. He shared the kingdom with Beonna and he is believed to have also shared rule with a supposed ruler named Hun. He may still have been king in around 760. He is recorded by the Fitzwilliam Museum and Simon Keynes as Æthelberht I.

paragraph: Historians have accepted that Alberht was a real historical figure who was possibly an heir of Ælfwald of East Anglia. At Ælfwald's death in 749, the kingdom was divided between Alberht and Beonna, who was perhaps a Mercian and who took the lead in issuing regnal coinage and maintaining a military alliance with Æthelbald. East Anglia was probably drawn into the affairs of 757, when Beornred ruled in Mercia, but after Offa seized power, Beonna was still ruling in East Anglia. The evidence of Alberht's single discovered coin indicates that he had sufficient authority to issue his own coinage, a degree of independence that was soon eclipsed by the rapid growth of Offa's power in East Anglia.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Alberht's predecessor Ælfwald died in 749 after ruling his small kingdom for thirty-six years. During Ælfwald's rule, East Anglia enjoyed sustained growth and stability, albeit under the senior authority of the Mercian king Æthelbald, who ruled his kingdom from 716 until he was murdered by his own men in 757. Ælfwald was the last of the Wuffingas dynasty, who ruled East Anglia since the 6th century. The East Anglian pedigree in the "Anglian collection", which was probably compiled for Ælfwald, lists his descendants.

paragraph: Section::::Joint rule with Beonna.

paragraph: Alberht was so obscure that for many centuries he was known only from a single statement in a late compilation of material. A reference derived from tradition can be found in the annal for 749 in the "Historia Regum", a mediaeval work possibly produced in part by Byrhtferth of Ramsey. In the annal, it is stated that ""Hunbeanna and Alberht divided the kingdom of the East Angles between themselves"". Until about thirty years ago, this record stood alone and unverifiable, with the exception of a single coin attributed to Beonna and two other brief mentions of him. Since then, well over a hundred coins attributed to Beonna have been found, many in archaeologically secure contexts, so that it is now clear that a ruler named Beonna did rule in East Anglia at that time. The historian Steven Plunkett has suggested that the 'Hun' element in the annal was at some time joined with the 'Beonna' element in error by a scribe.

paragraph: Scholars have since realized that these exceedingly sparse references were in fact accurate, and that East Anglia was indeed ruled jointly after 749. As a result, Alberht has become a more substantial reality. The identity of these two rulers (or possibly three, if Hun is included) and the reason for this division of power remain unknown. The historian Barbara Yorke suggests the possibility that the kings each ruled a separate part of the kingdom at this time, but acknowledges that the political landscape of 749 is not well understood. D. P. Kirby gives an alternative view of the events that may have occurred following the death of Ælfwald. He connects Alberht with Æthelberht II of East Anglia and states that Alberht was still ruling in 794, which would imply that he reigned for around forty-five years.

paragraph: "Beonna" is not a typical East Anglian Wuffingas name, but might be connected with a powerful Mercian family. The name "Alberht" alliterates suitably with several Wuffingas names and could be accepted as a shortened form of the name "Æthelberht". It is therefore possible that when Ælfwald died, Alberht continued the dynastic line, being a direct descendant or from a cadet line, and accepted a division of power with a Mercian royal representative in order to continue the rule of the Wuffingas.

paragraph: Beonna's seniority in this arrangement is suggested by the large number of coins bearing his name and by the co-operation between the East Anglians and the Mercians in the Battle of Burford Bridge against Cuthred of Wessex in 752. Beonna may also be connected with Beornred, who for a few months ruled Mercia after Æthelbald's assassination in 757.

paragraph: Section::::Coinage.

paragraph: The minting of coins in East Anglia probably began during the reign of Beonna. A mint probably operated from Suffolk: coins continued to be produced through a period of Mercian hegemony and East Anglian independence, until the invasion by the Vikings in the second half of the 9th century.

paragraph: The confirmation of Alberht as a historical figure emerges from the discovery by controlled excavation of a single coin that can be attributed to him. The authenticity and date-horizon of the coin is not doubt. The coin was discovered by Valerie Fenwick at Burrow Hill, at Butley, Suffolk, in a stratified deposit which also contained several varieties of late sceattas of a runic type and coins that were minted by Beonna. It was found in a defensible estuary island site in a strategic position near Rendlesham, a known seat of Wuffingas power.

paragraph: The runes on the sceatta depicting the moneyer's name read 'Tiælred' (which is perhaps a version of the name "Coeldred") and the obverse reads simply 'Ethælbert'. The coin, of about 42% silver, was struck on a module comparable to the larger planchet which characterises the later strikes of Beonna's most prolific moneyer, Efe. The formula resembles the moneyed for Beonna by Wilred, but the confident lettering and beading more resembles the work of Efe. Stylistically, therefore, the coin is closely connected to Beonna.

paragraph: The coin was presented to the British Museum in 1992.
