Tun: Encyclopedia II - Bolton - Origins of name

The origins of its name (in full, 'Bolton-le-Moors') is generally thought to derive from the words "Bolt", a type of arrow (thought to be a reference to the role inhabitants played in the defeat of the Scots at Flodden Field in 1513) and "Tun", the Saxon word for town. Indeed, a Bolt and a Crown (a representation of a village stockade) are depicted in the coat of arms of the town. The town has had many derivations of its spelling including Bothelton and Boulton. The Flodden Field may be incorrect as the town was already known as ...

Tun: Encyclopedia II - Yngling - The name Scylfing

In Old English several kings who are generally identified as Ynglings are called Scylfings. In Old Norse Skilfing (Skilfingr) actually appears as a synonym of Yngling in Ynglingatal, in a line on Egil (Ongentheow). Unfortunately, this occurrence was overlooked in Laing's translation: Ok lofsæll ór landi fló Týs óttungr Tunna ríki, en flæming farra trjónu jötuns eykr á Agli rauð. Sás of austr áð ...

Tun: Encyclopedia II - Washington Tyne and Wear - History

The name comes from the local Anglo Saxon chief 'Hwaes', whose family 'Inga' had an estate 'Tun' there — 'Hwaesingatun'. The Old Hall may have been built by William de Hertburn, who moved to the area in 1183. As was the custom he took the name of his new estates, and became William de Wessyngton. By 1539 when the family moved to Sulgrave Manor in Northamptonshire the spelling "Washington" had been adopted. It was from Washington Village that the ancestors of George Washington, the first President of the United States, emigrated to Virginia in 1657. Ironically ...

Tun: Encyclopedia II - Golders Green - History

It has been a place in the parish and manor of Hendon since around 13th century. The earliest references to the name "Temple Fortune" is on a map (c1754). However this name reveals a much earlier history. It is likely that the name refers to the Knight of St John, who had land here (c1240). Fortune may be derived from a small settlement (tun) on the route from Hampstead to Hendon arrived at before arriving at Hendon. Here a lane from Finchley, called Ducksetters lane (c1475), intersected. It is likely that the settlement was originally the B ...

The umbrella defense that made the Giants so successful in the 1950s was basically a 4-1-6 alignment with two defensive ends dropping back to team with four defensive backs on passing situations. as the safety, Tun ...

Tun: Encyclopedia II - Paul Pelliot - The Return and Later Years

Pelliot returned to Paris on October 24, 1909, to a vicious smear campaign mounted against himself, Edouard Chavannes (a fellow sinologist) and the staff of the Ecole. Pelliot was accused of wasting public money and returning with forged manuscripts. This campaign came to a head with a December 1910 article in La Revue Indigène by M. Fernand Farjenel. These charges were not proved false until Sir Aurel Stein's book, Ruins of Desert Cathay, appeared in 1912. In his book, Stein made it clear that he had left manuscripts behind in Tun-huang.
