Athlone has benefitted greatly from the Army Deafness settlements made with the state. While motor dealers have undoubtedly done very well from this, the property industry has arguably done even better. At a time when major employers were making redundancies, the deafness money came flooding in to stabilise and boost what would otherwise have been a very difficult market. The timing of the lump-sum settlements coincided with the increased interest in buy-to-let on the parts of both the mortgage banks and building societies and investo ...

Corinth - Prehistoric era. The city was founded in the Neolithic Age, circa 6000 BC. According to myth, the city was founded by Corinthos, a descendant of the god Helios (the Sun), while other myths suggest that it was founded by the goddess Ephyra, a daughter of the titan Oceanus, thus the ancient name of the city (also Ephyra). There is evidence that the city was destroyed around 2000 BC. Before the end of the Mycenaean period the Dorians attempted to settle in Corinth. While at first they failed, their second attempt was successful when their leader Aletes followed a different path aroun ...

William was raised in Scotland. He started a revolt against his rother, Dirk VII and became count in Friesland after a reconciliation. Friesland was considered as a part of Holland by the Counts of Holland. His niece, Ada, eventually inherited Holland in 1203, but William couldn't accept this. After a civil war, which lasted for several years, William won the war. Louis and Ada were supported by the bishops of Liege and Utrecht and by the count of Flanders.

Founded in 1324 by Adam de Brome, Rector of the University Church. Under the patronage of Edward II, he diverted the revenue of St Mary's to his college, which thereafter was responsible for appointing the vicar. De Brome's foundation of 1324 was confirmed by Edward II in a charter of 1326. Oriel is the fifth oldest of Oxford's colleges, and the oldest college that doesn't habitually claim it is the oldest college. The official name of the College is ‘the House of Blessed Mary the Virgin in Oxford commonly called Oriel College', the ...

Ancona - Cathedral church of S. Ciriaco. The cathedral was consecrated in 1128 and completed in 1189. Some writers suppose that the original church was in the form of a Latin cross and belonged to the 8th century. An early restoration was completed in 1234. It is a fine Romanesque building in grey stone, built in the form of a Greek cross, with a dodecagonal dome over the center slightly altered by Margaritone d'Arezzo in 1270. The façade has a Gothic portal, ascribed to Giorgio da Como (1228), which was inten ...

The military campaigns of the Crusade can be divided into a number of periods, the first from 1209 to 1215 was a series of great success for the crusaders in Languedoc. The captured lands however were largely lost between 1215 and 1225 in a series of revolts and reverses. The situation turned again following the intervention of the French king, Louis VIII, in 1226. He died in November of that year, but the efforts continued under Louis IX; the area was reconquered by 1229 and main protagonists made peace. From 1233 the efforts of the Inquisi ...

From the imperfect and conflicting data which are available one positive result can be gathered: that the Bogomils were both Adoptionists and Manichaeans. They had accepted the teaching of Paul of Samosata, though at a later period the name of Paul was believed to be that of the Apostle; and they were not quite free from the Dualistic principle of the Gnostics, at a later period too much identified with the teaching of Mani, by Photius, Petrus Siculus, and other authors. Both Paulicians and Manichaeans were dualists, but the former ascribed ...

Birger was born in 1210 (exact date uncertain) as the son of Magnus Minnesköld of Bjälbo and Ingrid Ylva, nephew to the Earl Birger Brosa. In 1240, Birger organized a military campaign against Novgorod and was defeated by Alexander Nevsky during the Neva Battle. Birger was elevated to the position of Jarl (directly translated: Earl, but the position was unique, not similar as earls in England) by King Eric XI in 1248 and had earlier marrie ...

Patan is an ancient fortified town, founded in 746 by Vanraj Chavda, the most prominent king of the Chavda Kingdom. He named the city Anhilpur Patan after his close friend and Prime Minister Anhil. The city was also known as Anhilwara in the Middle Ages. Patan enjoyed a privileged status of capital of Gujarat, for about 600 years from 746 to 1411. The major Rajput clans of Chavdas (746-942), Solankis (942-1244) and Vaghelas (1244-1304) ruled the Hindu Kingdom of Gujarat from Patan. Patan was the home of the great scholar and author Hemachandra, a ...

Ruaidri was once more recalled to be king, though only briefly and ended his days as a monk at Cong. Cathal Carragh killed Connor mac Cormac later the same year "in revenge of the death of his father." Cathal would become a King of Connacht, with opposition, before his death in 1202. The ultimate winner for the kingship was Conchobar's uncle, Cathal Crobdearg, who was his ultimate successor. Of Conchobar's remaining known children, Mathghamhain was killed in 1196, as was Muirchertach in 1204, and Donnchadh in 1207; Tadhg was re ...

Athlone, along with most other midland towns, has seen wild property price appreciation up to 2004. Currently (2005) there is stagnation, price-cutting and some desperation on the part of sellers. Unfortunately, most staff at the Department of Education, Dublin aren't interested in decentralising to Athlone. Both of the other two big employers in Athlone are also moving work to India. In each case, Bangalore is the destination, with Wi ...

The First Crusade was preached at the Council of Clermont in 1095 by Pope Urban II, with the goal of assisting the Byzantine Empire against the invasions of the Seljuk Turks. Very soon, however, the capture, or recapture as the participants saw it, of the Holy Land became the main objective. The kingdom came into being with the capture of Jerusalem in July of 1099, the climax of the crusade. Godfrey of Bouillon, Duke of Lower Lorraine and one of the main leaders of the crusade, was chosen as the first king. He refused, however, to take this ...

Baldwin II was succeded in 1131 by his daughter Melisende, who ruled jointly with her husband Fulk, the former Count of Anjou. During their reign Jerusalem exercised its greatest economic and artistic expansion, with the Melisende Psalter commissioned between 1135 and 1143, and the expansion of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in western Gothic style completed by 1149. Fulk, a renowned military commander, was faced with a new and more dangerous enemy - the Atabeg Zengi of Mosul. Although Fulk held off Zengi throughout his reign, William of T ...

This successful first act was denied a sequel when in 1189 Conchobar was killed by Manus mac Flann O Finaghty, Aodh mac Brian (his first cousin), Muircheartach mac Cathal mac Dermot mac Tadhg, and Giolla na Naomh O Mulvihill of the Tuathas. His murders were described as "a party of his own people and tribes", though the real culprit seems to have being that other contender for the kingship of Connaucht, Connor mac Cormac. In the same sentence he was correctly described as the "King of all ...

Genghis Khan - Politics and economics. Main article: Organization of state under Genghis Khan The Mongol Empire was governed by civilian and military code, called the Yassa code.

Amalric was succeeded by his young son, Baldwin IV, who was discovered at a very young age to be a leper. During Baldwin's reign the kingdom began to collapse internally, as family and marriage alliances developed into two competing factions. One of these, the "court party", was centred around the royal family and was led by Baldwin IV's mother, Amalric's first wife Agnes of Courtenay, who had much influence over the reign of her leprous son. Agnes was supported by a number of relative newcomers to the kingdom, including Raynald of Chatillon ...

The main opponent of the Mongols by around c. 1100 were the Naimans to the west, the Merkits to the north and the Tatars to the east. By 1190, Temüjin and his advisors had united together the Mongol confederation only. As an incentive for absolute obedience and following of his code of laws, the Yasa code, he promised civilians and fighters wealth from future possible battle. Genghis Khan began his slow ascent to power by allying himself with his father's anda (sworn brother or blood brother). Genghis's ally was Toghrul, Khan ...
