990: Encyclopedia II - Duklja - Name

"Doclea" was the name of the region during the early period of the Roman Empire. It is believed to originate from the name of an early Illyrian tribe. The Romans "hyper-corrected" to "Dioclea" wrongly guessing that an "I" had been lost due to vulgar speech patterns. "Duklja" is the later Slavic version of that word. The relationship between the names of Duklja and Zeta is somewhat unclear, as the two terms overlap. Duklja was mostly referenced as the littoral area between the Bay of Kotor and the Skadar Lake, while Zeta refers to the ...

990: Encyclopedia II - Skåne - Dukes of Skåne

Since 1772, Swedish Princes have been created Dukes of various provinces. Although this is a solely nominal title, it may result in an emotional bond between the province and its royal duke. Crown Prince Carl (from his birth in 1826 until he became King in 1859) Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf (from his birth in 1882 until he became King in 1950) From his marriage, in 1905, King Gustaf Adolf had his summer recidence at Sofiero castle, at Helsingborg.

990: Encyclopedia II - Skåne - Culture

The culture of Skåne is held to be a little distinctive from the rest of Sweden, influenced by its closeness to Denmark and Germany, and its geographical conditions. The dialect for instance is influenced by its long time Danish history and the inevitable closeness to Denmark, leading to a distinctive Scanian dialect. Some regionalists have compared it to Provence in southern France, because of its historical and cultural distinctive ...

990: Encyclopedia II - Silesia - Name of the region

One theory claims that the name Silesia is derived from the Silingi, which most likely were a Vandalic people, who supposedly lived south of the Baltic Sea along the Elbe, Oder, and Vistula rivers in the 2nd century. When the Silingi moved from the area during the Migration Period, they left remnants of their society behind. The most evident remnants are in the names of places, which were adopted (in Slavic form) by the new inhabitants, who were in fact Slavic (Polish Śląsk, Old Polish Śląžsk [-o], Old Slavic *Sьlьąžь ...

990: Encyclopedia II - Skåne - History

Main article: History of Skåne Historically the province of Skåne was a part of Terra Scania, also known as Skåneland, which together with Jutland and "the islands" constituted Denmark. Following the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, the entire Terra Scania became a possession of the Swedish Crown, retaining its old laws and Diet, but was soon to be split. Bornholm rebelled and was returned to Denmark, and the other provinces were successively incorporated into Sweden. As the incorporation affected not only Skåne, but also Halland and Blekinge, a combined description of the history can b ...

990: Encyclopedia II - Yunmen Wenyan - Koans

A monk once asked Ummon, "What is the Buddha?" Ummon answered thusly: "A dried shit-stick!" Note: A 'dry shit stick' was the medieval equivalent of toilet paper. Hence Yunmen's reply is sometimes translated as "Something to wipe your arse on!" The meaning of this apparently disrespectful statement is that ultimate reality is present in even the most lowly and insignificant places. ...

Al-Andalus - Conquest and early years. In 711 AD, a Moorish Islamic army from North Africa invaded Visigoth Hispania. Under their leader Tariq ibn-Ziyad, a small force landed at Gibraltar on April 30, 711. After a decisive victory at the Battle of Guadalete on July 19, 711, Tariq ibn-Ziyad brought most of the Iberian Peninsula under Islamic rule in a seven-year campaign. They moved northeast across the Pyrenees but were defeated by the Frank Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours in 732. The Iberian peninsula, exc ...

From the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries, the greatest non-Habsburg power in Europe was usually France.

990: Encyclopedia II - Al-Andalus - Etymology of al-Andalus

The etymology of the word "al-Andalus" is uncertain. The word is popularly thought to be derived from the Vandals, the Germanic tribe who settled in southern Iberia and Northern Africa. However, scholars are by no means in agreement. The notion of it originating with the Vandals, who supposedly devastated southern Spain so severely in a mere twenty-two years of tenure (407-429) as to leave their name forever imprinted on it, gained in popularity over time and survives - but it is a theory put forth without much basis, bolstered perhaps by ho ...

990: Encyclopedia II - Habsburg - Habsburgs as Kings of Hungary

The kingship of Hungary remained in the Habsburg family for centuries; but as the kingship was not strictly inherited and was sometimes used as a training ground for young Habsburgs, the dates of rule do not always match those of the primary Habsburg possessions. Therefore, the kings of Hungary are listed separately. Habsburg - Albertine line: Kings of Hungary. Albert, king of Hungary 1437 - 1439

    990: Encyclopedia II - Brian Boru - Popular image

    The popular image of Boru as a ruler who managed to unify the regional leaders of Ireland in order to free the land from a 'Danish' (Viking) occupation originates from the powerful influence of a work of 12th century century propaganda, Cogadh Gaedhil re Gallaibh (The War of the Irish with the Foreigners) in which Boru takes the leading role. This work is thought to have been commissioned by Boru's great-grandson, Muirchertach Ua Briain as a means of justifying the Ua Briain (O'Brien) claim to the High-Kingship, a title upon which the Ui ...

    When Brian's father died, the kingship of Thomond passed to his older brother, Mathgamain, and when Mathgamain was killed in 976, Brian replaced him. Subsequently he became the King of the entire province of Munster. By 1002 Boru had forced the reigning High King of Ireland, Mael Sechlainn mac Domnall II, to surrender his title to him. Boru sought to make good that title in a way that previous holders of the title of High-King had not; to make himself the actual ruler of Ireland rather than in name only. By 1011 all of the regional ru ...

    Main article: The Dal gCais. Brian Boru was from a group of people so obscure that they adopted a fictitious, but more prestigious name, the 'Dal gCais' (Dalcassians in the plural). They occupied a territory that straddled the largest river in Ireland, the River Shannon, a territory that would later be known as the Kingdom of Thomond and that incorporates portions of the present day counties of Clare and Limerick. The Shannon served as an easy route by which raids could be made against the province of Connacht (to the ri ...
