paragraph: George Nayler

paragraph: Sir George Nayler, KH FRS (bapt. 29 June 1764, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire – 28 October 1831, Hanover Square, Mayfair) was a long-serving officer of arms at the College of Arms in London.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: George Nayler was born on 29 June 1764 in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. He was the fifth son of George Nayler, surgeon, of Stroud, Gloucestershire, and his wife Sarah, daughter of John Fark of Clitheroe, Lancashire.

paragraph: Section::::Heraldic career.

paragraph: Originally a miniature painter, Nayler began his heraldic career in 1792 (the year he married Charlotte Williams, the illegitimate daughter of Sir John Guise, 1st Baronet). That year, he acquired a loan of £1300 to purchase the resignation of John Suffield Brown as Genealogist of the Order of the Bath and Blanc Coursier Herald and Nayler was appointed on 15 June 1792. Upon the resignation of Lancaster Herald in 1793, Nayler acquired a post in the College of Arms as Bluemantle Pursuivant for £60 and on the accidental deaths of Somerset and York Heralds at Haymarket in 1794, he was promoted to York Herald that year.

paragraph: In 1813, Nayler was knighted by The Prince Regent at Carlton House, possibly as a consolation for not having been appointed Garter Principal King of Arms' deputy to invest Alexander I of Russia with the Order of the Garter. In 1816 and 1818 respectively, Nayler was appointed King of Arms of the newly created orders of the Royal Guelphic Order (of which he was made a knight in 1816) and the Order of St Michael and St George.

paragraph: In 1820, he was promoted as Clarenceux King of Arms and officiated in place of the aged Garter, Isaac Heard at the coronation of George IV in 1821. A year later, Nayler succeeded Heard as Garter and went on foreign missions to award the Garter to Frederick VI of Denmark in 1822, John VI of Portugal (who created Nayler a Knight Commander of the Order of the Tower and Sword) in 1823, Charles X of France in 1825 and Nicholas I of Russia in 1827.

paragraph: He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in June 1826.

paragraph: Nayler's presence at the coronation of William IV in 1831 was to be one of his last official functions before his death almost two months later. He was buried in his family vault at the church of St John the Baptist in Gloucester.

paragraph: Tilly Losch

paragraph: Ottilie Ethel Leopoldine Herbert, Countess of Carnarvon (née Losch; November 15, 1903 – December 24, 1975), known professionally as Tilly Losch, was an Austrian-born dancer, choreographer, actress and painter who lived and worked for most of her life in the United States and United Kingdom.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Vienna to a Jewish family, Losch studied ballet from childhood at the Vienna Opera, making her debut in 1913 in Louis Frappart's 1885 "Wiener Walzer". She became a member of the corps de ballet on March 1, 1918 and a coryphee three years later. Her first solo role was the Chinese Lady Doll in Josef Hassreiter's "Die Puppenfee". Ballet master Heinrich Kroeller and the Opera's co-director, composer Richard Strauss, promoted her to soloist on January 1, 1924. She danced prominently in new ballets by Kroeller, Georgi Kyaksht and Nicola Guerra. Outside the Opera, Losch took modern dance class with Grete Wiesenthal and Mary Wigman, and performed dramatic and movement roles in Viennese theaters, at the Salzburg Festival and in Max Reinhardt's 1924 Berlin production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", also choreographing for the Shakespeare play. Losch resigned from the Vienna Opera on August 31, 1927 in order to work more with Reinhardt at the Salzburg Festival and in New York. She also choreographed Reinhardt's "Everyman" and

paragraph: "Danton's Death".

paragraph: Losch made her London debut in 1928 in Cochran's production of Noël Coward's musical revue "This Year of Grace", and over the course of the next few years, worked in London and New York as both a dancer and choreographer. In New York she danced in "The Band Wagon" with Fred and Adele Astaire in 1931. Reinhardt encouraged her to extend herself and believed she could also act; casting her in a 1932 London production of "The Miracle", Losch's part was rewritten to provide her with the only spoken dialogue in the production (The Lord's Prayer) which she recited to dramatic effect.

paragraph: Section::::First marriage.

paragraph: Losch's first husband, the Anglo-American millionaire and surrealist arts patron Edward James, founded a ballet company for her – Les Ballets 1933, which performed in London and Paris. George Balanchine, whom she had met in Berlin in 1924 and who helped her with some of her choreography, was artistic director and the entire repertory was choreographed by him. Its most popular work was "The 7 Deadly Sins" with Kurt Weill's music and Brecht's text. Losch danced the leading role (a dual figure) and Lotte Lenya sang it. Tom Mitford (the Hon. Thomas Mitford, brother of the Mitford sisters) was described as Tilly's regular lover during this marriage. Losch was divorced by James in 1934, after being accused by him of adultery with Prince Serge Obolensky, an American hotel executive; her countersuit, in which she made it clear that her husband was homosexual, failed.

paragraph: A permanent reminder of Tilly Losch could be seen at Edward James' former home at Monkton, on his West Dean estate. Her "wet" footprints were woven into the carpet on the spiral staircase. As Tilly emerged from the bath, leaving behind a trail of wet footprints as she ascended the spiral stairs, Edward subsequently commissioned the carpet with the motif woven into it as a token of his love for her. After their divorce Edward moved the carpet to West Dean House (now West Dean College, where it can still be seen) replacing it at Monkton with a similar carpet made with his dog's footprint.

paragraph: Section::::Drama and film.

paragraph: She extended her work into drama, and achieved her greatest popularity in England. Her stage success led her into Hollywood films. She appeared in several screen productions including "Limelight" (1936), "The Garden of Allah" (1936), "The Good Earth" (1937) and "Duel in the Sun" (1946). Her choreography was seen in "Song of Scheherazade" (1947). Dissatisfied with supporting film roles, she continued working as a dancer and choreographer and acted on Broadway. Losch guested with Ballet Theatre in New York in a work by Antony Tudor and in London danced Léonide Massine choreography. Her best known conception was "The Hand Dance" (a collaboration with her Viennese colleague, Hedy Pfundmayr) which is featured in a short dance film by Norman Bel Geddes. Prominent choreographers who made roles for Losch include Frederick Ashton, Fred Astaire, George Balanchine, Heinrich Kroeller, Leonide Massine and Anthony Tudor.

paragraph: Section::::Second marriage.

paragraph: A severe clinical depression caused Losch to spend time in a sanatorium in Switzerland and abandon dance. It was during this time that she married Henry Herbert, 6th Earl of Carnarvon. Losch began painting, first in watercolors and then later in oils. Her earliest works were self-portraits, but she later created portraits of friends such as Anita Loos, Lotte Lenya, and Kurt Weill, and she received encouragement from Cecil Beaton. Carnarvon, aware of Losch's delicate health, sent her to the United States, where he perceived she would be safe from the growing danger of the war in Europe. She mounted her first exhibition in New York in 1944, and was well received by critics; the prominent collector and museum founder Albert C. Barnes bought one of Losch's works from her Dutch debut show.

paragraph: She later combined visual elements of dance into her paintings, and often placed her subjects on a backdrop that evoked scenes of the war in Europe. As her style of painting developed she won acclaim. Her works were eventually purchased by London's Tate and other galleries.

paragraph: Losch's marriage to Carnarvon ended in divorce in 1947 and she commuted between London and New York for the remainder of her life.

paragraph: Section::::"Tilly's Life and Times".

paragraph: A detailed biographical sketch of Tilly Losch can be found in the 2013 book "Catherine and Tilly: Porchey Carnarvon's Two Duped Wives", . This overview of Losch's life and times deals with her early years, her career as a dancer and film star and extensively reflects on her two failed marriages and mentions her many affairs. The book was compiled by William Cross, FSA Scot, author of "The Life and Secrets of Almina Carnarvon", the candid biography of Losch's mother-in-law. In 2014, Cross added a short compilation about Tilly entitled "Tilly Losch 'Schlagobers': Sweet Fragments From Her Life," .

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Losch died from cancer in New York on December 24, 1975. Lord Carnarvon was among the many mourners at her funeral. She bequeathed many of her personal documents, sketches, painting and photographs to the Max Reinhardt Archives at Binghamton University, State University of New York.

paragraph: Tilly's ashes are interred in the grounds of Leopoldskron Castle, near Salzburg.

paragraph: Cedric Brooks

paragraph: Cedric "Im" Brooks (1943 – 3 May 2013) was a Jamaican saxophonist and flautist known for his solo recordings and as a member of The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari, The Sound Dimensions, Divine Light, The Light of Saba, and The Skatalites.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Brooks became a pupil at the renowned Alpha Boys School aged 11, where he learned music theory and clarinet. In his late teens he took up tenor saxophone and flute.

paragraph: Brooks was a member of groups such as The Vagabonds and the Granville Williams Band in the early 1960s, but it would be the late 1960s when he would find his first major commercial success, as part of a duo with trumpeter David Madden, Im & David. The duo released a series of instrumental singles for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One label. Brooks also became a regular studio musician at the Brentford Road studio, playing on many recording sessions, and released several solo singles in the early 1970s.

paragraph: In 1970 he first teamed up with Rastafarian drummer Count Ossie, releasing tracks such as "So Long Rastafari Calling", "Black is Black", and "Give Me Back My Language and Culture" as Im and Count Ossie. The pair would later form The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari, with Brooks acting as musical director and leader of the horn section. From this collaboration resulted the triple LP-Set "Grounation". Brooks left in 1974 to form a new band, the Divine Light (later called The Light of Saba). After a single, "Demauungwani", the group recorded their first album for the Institute of Jamaica, "From Mento to Reggae to Third World Music", a collection exploring the history of Jamaican music, incorporating mento, junkanoo, ska, rocksteady, and reggae. The band made two further albums of jazz-influenced Rastafarian reggae, "The Light of Saba" and "The Light of Saba in Reggae", before Brooks left, again going solo with his 1977 album, "Im Flash Forward", featuring Studio One rhythms from the early 1970s, and regarded as one of the greatest Jamaican instrumental albums. The following year, Brooks assembled a new band of musicians to record the "United Africa" album.

paragraph: During the 1980s and 1990s, Brooks released a few singles but largely worked as a session musician. In particular, he worked with Carlos Malcolm in San Diego, California, in 1998 as part of a 20-piece ska and mento orchestra known as "Zimbobway's King Kingston Orchestra". These albums featured Im both on saxophone and percussion in many of the 24 recordings. In 1999, after the death of Rolando Alphonso, former saxophonist of the Skatalites, Brooks joined the band.

paragraph: Róbert Berény

paragraph: Róbert Berény (1887 – 1953 in Budapest) was a Hungarian painter, one of the "avant-garde" group known as The Eight who introduced cubism and expressionism to Hungarian art in the early twentieth century before the First World War. He had studied and exhibited in Paris as a young man and was also considered one of the Hungarian "Fauves."

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

paragraph: Róbert Berény was born in Budapest in 1887. As a young man of 17, in 1904 he studied under the artist Tivadar Zemplényi for several months before moving to study at the Académie Julian in Paris.

paragraph: While there, Berény was particularly influenced by the power of Paul Cézanne's art. He also adopted some of the uses of color of the Fauve movement, and exhibited at the Salon d'Automne with French artists of the Fauvists.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Berény is best known for his form of expressionism and cubism, which he developed in association with the "avant-garde" group known as The Eight, who had their first exhibit together in Budapest in 1909. They included the leader Károly Kernstok, Lajos Tihanyi, Béla Czóbel, Dezső Czigány, Ödön Márffy, Dezső Orbán, and Bertalan Pór. He brought to them French influences from his time in Paris.

paragraph: At their next exhibition, in 1911, the group identified as "A Nyolcak", or "The Eight." They essentially formed the core of modernist experimentation, and were part of radical intellectual currents in music and literature, as well. Berény's most important work of this early period is his portrait of the composer Béla Bartók (1913). That year he also painted "Scene."

paragraph: In 1919, Berény participated in the art life of the brief Hungarian Democratic Republic, and was the leader of the department for painting in the Art Directorate. After the fall of the republic that year, Berény emigrated to Berlin, together with numerous other Hungarian artists and writers. He lived and worked there for several years, continuing his emphasis on cubism and expressionism. He did not return to Hungary until 1926.

paragraph: After 1934, he worked in Zebegény, near the Danube Bend in northern Hungary. He was awarded the Szinnyei Prize in 1936.

paragraph: During the last year of World War II, Berény's atelier was destroyed, together with many of his works. After the war, under the communist government, he became a teacher in what is now the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest. He died in 1953.

paragraph: Since the late twentieth century and the political changes in eastern Europe, there has been renewed interest in Hungary's early modernist artists. The exhibits below have honored Berény and others of The Eight, and two bracket the centenary of their first exhibit in 1911 under that name.

paragraph: Section::::Rediscovered work.

paragraph: A Berény painting titled "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase", whose whereabouts had been unknown since 1928, was re-discovered by chance in 2009 by art historian Gergely Barki upon watching the 1999 movie, "Stuart Little", with his daughter, where the painting was used as a prop. An assistant set designer had bought the painting cheaply from a California antique store for use in the film, and had kept it in her home after production ended. The painting was sold at auction in Budapest on December 13, 2014 for €229,500.

paragraph: James Stirling (judge)

paragraph: Sir James Stirling, FRS (3 May 1836—27 June 1916) was a British barrister, judge, and amateur scientist. In his youth he demonstrated exceptional ability in mathematics, becoming Senior Wrangler at Cambridge in 1860, regarded at the time as "the highest intellectual achievement attainable in Britain". He was a High Court judge in the Chancery Division from 1886 to 1900, and a Lord Justice of Appeal from 1900, when he was made a Privy Counsellor, until his retirement in 1906. He continued to pursue his scientific and mathematical interests during his legal career, and after retiring from the bench became vice-president of the Royal Society in 1909–1910.

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

paragraph: James Stirling was born in Aberdeen, the eldest son of James Stirling (1797/8–1871), a United Presbyterian church minister, and Sarah Hendry Stirling ("née" Irvine, 1813–1875). He attended Aberdeen Grammar School from 1846 to 1851 and King's College at the University of Aberdeen from 1851, where he graduated MA in 1855, showing an exceptional ability in mathematics. He entered Trinity College at Cambridge University in 1856, was awarded the Sheepshanks exhibition in 1859, and became Senior Wrangler and first Smith's prizeman in 1860.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: As he was not a member of the Church of England, he was ineligible for a fellowship at Cambridge. Turning to the legal profession, he joined Lincoln's Inn in January 1860, and was called to the bar in November 1862.

paragraph: He reported cases in the rolls court, first for the "New Reports", then for "Law Reports" until 1876. He was chosen in 1881 by the attorney-general, Sir Henry James as his "devil", or Treasury Devil, a prestigious appointment which leads almost automatically to appointment to the High Court bench. In 1886, he became a judge in the Chancery Division of the High Court, and was knighted in the same year; the following year he received an honorary LLD from his "alma mater", the University of Aberdeen. He was promoted to the Court of Appeal on 27 October 1900, when Sir Archibald Smith became Master of the Rolls. Stirling retired from the bench on 11 June 1906.

paragraph: In his early career he gained a high reputation as a draughtsman and conveyancer, but was diffident in recognising his own abilities. It was said that his opinion was "the best in Lincoln's Inn, if only one could get it". Later, as a judge, he demonstrated a degree of equanimity and clarity which made him popular with the bar. He was criticised for his slowness, but he was careful and painstaking, and his judgments were rarely reversed.

paragraph: Section::::Other interests.

paragraph: In 1878 he was recorded as being a member of the London Mathematical Society In 1898, a newspaper article noted that he still diligently studied mathematics and science. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1902, and was its vice-president in 1909–1910.

paragraph: He was also an amateur bryologist and member of the Moss Exchange Club, and owned a bryophyte herbarium, which included about 6000 varieties of mosses and liverworts. After his death, the herbarium was donated to the Tunbridge Wells Museum.

paragraph: Section::::Family life.

paragraph: Adolf IX of Berg

paragraph: Adolf IX of Berg (also referred to as Adolf VI) (c. 1280 – 3 April 1348) was the eldest son of Henry of Berg, Lord of Windeck and Agnes of the Mark.

paragraph: In 1308, Adolf succeeded as Count of Berg upon the death of his uncle William I of Berg who had no children. Adolf was an important and loyal supporter of Ludwig IV of Bavaria, helping him since 1314 in the war of succession. As a result of Adolf's 1312 marriage to Agnes of Cleves, he received the Rhine customs of Duisberg as a dowry and these were confirmed as an imperial fief by Emperor Louis in 1314. He continued the constant feuds between the House of Berg and the Archbishops of Cologne. In 1327/28, he joined Louis on his trip to Rome where he was crowned as Emperor. Adolf received the privilege to mint silver which he did at Wipperfürth. In 1337 Adolf joined the English-German Alliance which caused the start of the Hundred Years' War.

paragraph: In 1312 Adolf was married to Agnes of Cleves (c. 1295 – aft. 1361), daughter of Dietrich VII, Count of Cleves and Margaret of Habsburg-Kiburg. He died on 3 April 1348 without children and was succeeded by his only surviving niece, Margaret of Ravensberg by right of her mother, and her husband Gerhard VI of Jülich as Count and Countess of Berg.

paragraph: Thus, the Counties of Berg and Ravensburg came in 1348 under the house of Jülich, and were in 1437 united with the County of Jülich. In 1511 all three passed into the house of Cleves.

paragraph: Maksym Kryvonis

paragraph: Maksym Kryvonis ( "Crooked-nose", or Perebyinis) (d. 1648) was one of the Cossack leaders of Khmelnytsky Uprising. In the first stage of the uprising he was the leader of the most radical faction of the rebels who rejected all compromises with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and wanted to drive all Catholics and Jews out of Ukraine.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: The question about his origins remains unresolved. A Polish pamphlet published in 1648 states that he was a serf of the Nemyrych family (a hypothesis favoured by Soviet historiography). However, a German source about a meeting with Kryvonis in 1648 says that he is of Scottish origin ("ein gebohrenen Schott") In this case his real name may well have been not a nickname based on his crooked or broken nose, but a translation of his Scottish family name Cameron.

paragraph: Section::::Khmelnytsky Uprising.

paragraph: Kryvonis was one of the most effective generals of the Uprising. He was awarded the rank of colonel of Cherkasy Regiment. His actions in Korsun and Pylyavtsi battles in 1648 led to crushing Cossack victories over the Polish armies. His actions against prince Jeremi Wiśniowiecki at Makhnivka and Starokostiantyniv were less successful.

paragraph: Kryvonis earned a reputation among the Poles and Jews for wanton cruelty as the rebels under his leadership perpetrated serious atrocities.

paragraph: Also there are different accounts of Kryvonis's demise: killed (shot) during the siege of Lviv, assassinated (poisoned) by Jesuits, killed by orders of Bohdan Khmelnytsky who loathed him, or perished of plague during the siege of Zamość in 1648.

paragraph: Section::::In literature.

paragraph: Kryvonis (Polish: "Maksym Krzywonos") was also a character in With Fire and Sword, a novel by Nobel-winning 19th-century Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz. In the 1999 movie based on the novel he was played by Maciej Kozłowski.

paragraph: Margaret of England, Duchess of Brabant

paragraph: Margaret of England (15 March 1275 – after 1333) was the tenth child and seventh daughter of King Edward I of England and his first wife, Eleanor of Castile. Her husband was John II, Duke of Brabant, whom she married in 1290, the year of her mother's death. Margaret and John had one child, John III, Duke of Brabant.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Margaret was born on 15 March 1275, at Windsor Castle, the tenth child of King Edward I and his cousin Eleanor of Castile.

paragraph: Margaret's fifteen siblings included Joan of Acre, Eleanor, Countess of Bar, Elizabeth of Rhuddlan and her father's successor, Edward II of England.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: On 8 July 1290 Margaret married John II, Duke of Brabant in Westminster Abbey, London, becoming Duchess of Brabant less than four years later on 3 May 1294. She had been acquainted with her groom since childhood, as they had been betrothed in 1278 when she was three years old. Margaret's wedding festivities were splendidly extravagant; they included a procession of knights in full body armour and richly dressed ladies singing as they paraded through the streets of London to the music provided by harpers, minstrels and violinists, while fools danced. Their only child was John III, Duke of Brabant, successor to his father.

paragraph: Margaret, described as having been a good-natured, merry child in her youth, was unhappy at the Brabant court, as she was forced to accept her husband's perennial succession of mistresses and the illegitimate children they bore him, all of whom were raised at court alongside her own son John. The latter was her only child, born 10 years into her marriage to the Duke.

paragraph: During the reign of John II, Brabant continued supporting a coalition to stop French expansion. He tried to conquer South Holland from the pro-French count John II of Holland, but was not successful. John, who suffered from kidney stones and wanted his duchy to be peacefully handed over to his son upon his death, in 1312 signed the famous Charter of Kortenberg.

paragraph: Margaret and John attended the wedding of her brother Edward to Isabella of France in Boulogne on 25 January 1308. They accompanied the royal pair to England for their joint coronation at Westminster Abbey the following month.

paragraph: Margaret died twenty-two years after her husband. She died in Brabant and was buried at the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, Brussels. She was the longest-living and last surviving of Edward I's nineteen children, dying in the reign of her nephew Edward III of England. Her tomb and that of her husband have been destroyed.

paragraph: Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff Sr. (a.k.a. Hubert Wolfstern, Hubert B. Wolfe + 988 Sr., Hubert Blaine Wolfe+585 Sr., and Hubert Blaine Wolfe+590 Sr., among others) is the abbreviated name of a typesetter who has held the record for the longest personal name ever used. Hubert's given name is made up from 26 names, each starting with a different letter of the alphabet in consecutive order; these are followed by an enormously long single-word surname. The exact length and spelling of his name has been a subject of considerable confusion due in part to its various renderings over the years, many of which are plagued by typographical errors. One of the longest and most reliable published versions, with a 988-letter surname, is as follows:

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff was born in Bergedorf (now part of Hamburg), Germany, and later emigrated to the United States, settling in Philadelphia. His birthdate has been given as February 29, 1904, but he was also reported to be age 47 in a 1964 wire story, and Philadelphia County death records list a birthdate of August 4, 1914. He became a typesetter according to Bennett Cerf. He is also known to have been a member of the American Name Society for a while.

paragraph: His name first attracted attention when it appeared in the 1938 Philadelphia telephone directory on page 1292, column 3, line 17, and in a court order of judge John Boyle of May 25, 1938: "Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, Jr., etc., vs. Yellow Cab Co., petition for compromise settlement granted"—with speculation that the case was settled because "they couldn't pronounce it".

paragraph: A son, Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff Jr., was born in Philadelphia in 1952, and was able to pronounce his surname by age three. Family letterhead used the form "Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff".

paragraph: When "Inquirer" journalist Frank Brookhouser omitted the letter "u" in reporting a 1952 Philadelphia voter registration under the 35-letter version of the surname, Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff's prompt correction was carried by "Time" and passed on to other outlets. Philadelphia's business computers used an abbreviated form on the city's voting registration books; the utility company, however, when told he would not pay his bill unless his name was right, began spelling it properly, on three lines. Brookhouser later responded by tributing the correctly spelled Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff as the exemplar Philadelphian named in the first sentence of his "Our Philadelphia", comparing him to another local typesetter, Benjamin Franklin:

paragraph: The executive secretary-treasurer of the American Name Society also provided a 163-letter spelling of the surname: "Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorffvoralternwarengewissenhaftschaferswessenschaftswarenwohlgefutternundsorgfaltigkeitbeschutzenvorangreifendurchihrraubgierigfiends", stating that this was his "full name as given ... at birth on the envelope". This spelling was reproduced verbatim by the "Maryland and Delaware Genealogist".

paragraph: In 1964, a widely reprinted Associated Press wire story reported that the IBM 7074 computer at the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. could process one million policies but refused to handle that of Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, which was specially processed by hand. He explained to reporter Norman Goldstein, "When somebody calls my name, I don't have any trouble finding out who they mean ... I don't like being part of the common herd." The article includes a 988-letter version of the surname, though individual newspapers which ran it made numerous typographical errors, making it difficult to ascertain which renderings (if any) are correct.

paragraph: Logologist Dmitri Borgmann devoted several pages to the unusually long name in his 1965 book "Language on Vacation". According to Borgmann, the name had never before appeared correctly and in full in any book, and its bearer himself usually signed his name as "Hubert B. Wolfe + 988, Sr.". The long-form version reproduced in "Language on Vacation" is said to have come from Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff's 1963 Christmas card, and to be the form in which it was submitted to the Associated Press for publication.

paragraph: Onomastician Elsdon C. Smith, writing in "Treasury of Name Lore", provides a 161-letter version of the surname, "Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorffvoralternwarengewissenhaftschaferswessenschafswarenwohlgefutternundsorgfalugkeitbeschutzenvorangreifendurchihrraubgierigfeinds", but noted that its holder used only the 35-letter version in correspondence with him. Smith affirmed the personal name was the longest in the United States but implied that Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff was a publicity seeker for adopting it.

paragraph: In the 1970s and 1980s, Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff appeared in the "Guinness Book of World Records" as having the longest personal name, and was photographed for the book in front of a New York City marquee displaying his name, once again misspelled. He also made personal appearances in television shows based on the "Guinness Book". By 1983, only the 35-letter form of the name appeared in the book. Various editions claimed he had recently shortened his surname to "Wolfe+585, Senior" or to "Wolfe+590, Senior". By the 1990 edition, the "longest name" category had disappeared altogether.

paragraph: Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff has also been catalogued by logologist Gyles Brandreth and by "The Book of Useless Information".

paragraph: Section::::Origin and translation of surname.

paragraph: Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff claimed that his great-grandfather composed the surname in the 19th century, when German Jews were obliged to take a second name. In some printings of the above-noted AP wire story, Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff himself provided the following explanation of his prodigious surname:

paragraph: Dmitri Borgmann, a fellow emigrant from Germany, held that the 988-letter version of the surname was untranslatable due to its numerous grammatical and spelling errors, but offered his own paraphrase:

paragraph: The "New Dictionary of American Family Names" translates the 35-letter form as "a descendant of Wolfeschlegelstein (one who prepared wool for manufacture on a stone), of the house of Bergerdorf (mountain village)"; the Fairleigh Dickinson University Names Institute gives "wolf slayer who lives in the stone house in the mountain village".

paragraph: The full 988-letter name is indeed riddled with grammatical errors, and appears to have been written by an Anglophone with access to a German dictionary, but little understanding of the grammar. The text, when properly spaced and capitalised, reads:

paragraph: The most common errors in the text are incorrect pluralisation through -es or -s, which is actually a genitive ending in German, effectively a "possessive 's" in English, and lack of adjective inflection, both of which are common Anglophone errors in German.

paragraph: David I of Klarjeti

paragraph: David I () (died February 23, 943) was a Georgian prince of the Bagratid dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti who ruled, with the title of "mampali", in Adjara and Nigali from 889 and in Klarjeti from 900 until his abdication in 943.

paragraph: David was the oldest son of Sumbat I, founder of the Klarjeti line of the Bagratids. Upon Sumbat’s death in 889, David’s younger brother Bagrat I became a successor in Klarjeti, while David’s holdings were confined to the less important territories of Adjara and Nigali. With Bagrat’s death in 900, David retrieved Klarjeti with its key fortress and trading town of Artanuji. He abdicated in favor of his son Sumbat II and died as a monk in 943.

paragraph: David is mentioned by Constantine Porphyrogenitus in his "De Administrando Imperio" which renders David's title in Greek as "mampalis" (μάμπαλις) and incorrectly translates it as "all-holy".

According to Constantine Porphyrogenitus's "De Administrando Imperio" Sumbat was married to his cousin, daughter of Bagrat I of Klarjeti.
