Coventry was originally a part of the English county of Warwickshire. However during the medieval period Coventry became an important city in its own right. King Henry VI granted Coventry the status of a county in itself, largely to reward the city for the support the city had given him. This county status enabled Coventry to control its own assize and gaol, and the city's bailiffs became sherrifs – officers to the king. Coventry remained a separate county, until disputes over ratings with the villages which formed the county resulted in the county being abolished by the 'Coventry Boundar ...

Less well known than De Groot's exploits on the Harbour Bridge are the attempts to kidnap Jack Lang while he was being chauffered home along the Parramatta Road from his Parliament House office at night.

There is no evidence that Brettingham ever formally studied architecture or even travelled abroad. The Dictionary of National Biography reports him as having made two study trips abroad. However, this assumption was made on the strength of an anonymous book now ascribed to someone else, and the other because of confusion with his son Matthew Brettingham the Younger. In 1734, Brettingham had his first great opportunity, when two of the foremost Palladian architects of the day, William Kent and Lord Burlington, were collaborative ...

Egyptian deities are often portrayed as having animal heads in art; as an example, Anubis is often portrayed in statuary as having the body of a human, but the head of a canine. Many gods were portrayed with different animal heads, depending upon the situation. The Egyptians did not actually believe that most of their gods had animal heads; rather, they portrayed them that way as artistic symbolism. This may have been for the benefit of the illiterate. Amun, creator deity Anubis, God of Embalming, Friend of the D ...
