The 17-pounder was a 3-inch gun mounted on a modified 25-pounder carriage, and proved to be a resounding success. It had the calibre and the muzzle velocity to deliver a penetrating shell at a range far greater than any other similar Allied weapon. Originally a towed weapon, it was soon put into self-propelled, armoured mountings as the Sherman Firefly - at last the Allies had a weapon that was reliable against the Tiger.

    ACTA BALCANO-HUNGARICA 1. 1 “These were hard times for Skanderbeg, but he had an ally, the Hungarian Hunyadi” Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts It is of inestimable significance for Albanian studies in Hungary that the Hungarian Academy of Sciences has had the opportunity to produce and publish Edited by the present book which constitutes a Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics major contribution towards enabling this book to serve as a kind of third volume of Illyrisch-Albanische Forschungen (1916). Although there has been no organized Albanian research in Hungary, the chapters in this book clearly demonstrate that researchers well versed in the various historical periods have engaged in a joint investigation of the Albanian–Hungarian past. The studies reveal new research findings, many of which will cause a sensation in the world of Albanian studies. The book is a distillation of con tem- porary Hungarian work on Albanian Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts studies and also a salute by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian ISBN 978-963-416-184-4 Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to the joint Albanian–Hungarian and Austro–Hungarian past. 9 789634 161844 albán1.indd 1 7/30/2019 2:05:25 PM “These were hard times for Skanderbeg, but he had an ally, the Hungarian Hunyadi” Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts Acta Balcano-Hungarica 1. ※ Series managing editors: Pál Fodor and Antal Molnár Series editor: Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics Hungarian Academy of Sciences Research Centre for the Humanities

  • 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia
    Madis Maasing 17 Infidel Turks and Schismatic Russians in Late Medieval Livonia 17.1 Introduction At the beginning of the sixteenth century, political rhetoric in Livonia was shaped by the threat posed by an alien power: Following a significant deterio- ration in the relations between the Catholic Livonian territories and their mighty Eastern Orthodox neighbour – the Grand Duchy of Moscow – war broke out, lasting from 1501 to 1503, with renewed armed conflict remaining an immi- nent threat until 1509. During this period of confrontation, and afterwards, the Livonians (i.e., the political elite of Livonia) fulminated in their political writ- ings about the gruesome, schismatic, and even infidel Russians, who posed a threat not only to Livonia, but to Western Christendom in general. In the Holy Roman Empire and at the Roman Curia, these allegations were quite favoura- bly received. Arguably, the Livonians’ greatest success took the form of a papal provision for two financially profitable anti-Russian indulgence campaigns (1503–1510). For various political reasons, the motif of a permanent and general ‘Russian threat’ had ongoing currency in Livonia up until the Livonian War (1558–1583). Even after the collapse of the Livonian territories, the Russian threat motif continued to be quite effectively used by other adversaries of Mos- cow – e.g., Poland-Lithuania and Sweden. I will focus here first and foremost on what was behind the initial success of the Russian threat motif in Livonia, but I will also address why it persisted for as long as it did. A large part of its success was the fact that it drew upon a similar phenomenon – the ‘Turkish threat’,1 which played a significant role in the political rhetoric of Early Modern Europe, especially in south-eastern 1 This research was supported by the Estonian Research Council’s PUT 107 programme, “Me- dieval Livonia: European Periphery and its Centres (Twelfth–Sixteenth Centuries)”, and by the European Social Fund’s Doctoral Studies and Internationalization Programme DoRa, which is carried out by Foundation Archimedes.

INTRODUCTION GALLERY: Maker unknown c. 17th-18th century Spanish Conquistador Silver Cruciform Stirrup Features Moorish influences in the metal work design, made of silver, and is in the shape of a cross. Used by conquistadors and early colonizers of the New World. One source says used widely between 1650 and 1775, when they were outlawed by the Catholic Church as sacrilegious. Bernardo de Gálvez 1781 Diario de las operaciones de la expedicion contra la plaza de panzacolo conluida por las armas de s.m. catolica, baxo las ordenes del mariscal de campo d. bernardo de Galvez. This title page is from a first edition printing of a record of Gálvez’s siege of Pensacola (Panzacolo). In it, Gálvez relates his role in Spain’s most important victory as an ally of the colonists in the Revolutionary War: the taking of Pensacola from the British in May 1781. In commemoration of his heroism, Gálvez was made Count de Gálvez and Viscount de Galveztown. He was also allowed the new motto “Yo Solo,” which he reportedly yelled as he led the naval assault of Pensacola. After the war, Gálvez was appointed viceroy of New Spain. He is a major figure in the history of Florida, Louisiana, and Texas; Galveston was named after him. It is possible this work was printed in Havana, but Madrid or Mexico City are more likely.

It also relays the sounding in feet of the ship channel in an inset, showing Bolivar Point and Pelican Island.

  • Ernst Von Mansfeld and His Conduct of Asymmetrical Warfare in the Thirty Years War
    The German Military Entrepreneur Ernst von Mansfeld and His Conduct of Asymmetrical Warfare in the Thirty Years War Olli Bäckström Pro gradu 15.9.2011 Helsingin yliopisto Humanistinen tiedekunta Yleinen historia NOTE ON DATES Two differing calendars, the older Julian and the more new Gregorian, were used in the seventeenth century. The former calendar was still retained by Protestants in Germany, England, Scandinavia, and the Netherlands, while the latter had been adopted in Catholic Europe. For the sake of clarity, all dates in the older Julian form have been converted into the Gregorian form by adding ten days to them.
