  • Tonbridge Castle and Its Lords
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 16 1886 TONBRIDGE OASTLE AND ITS LORDS. BY J. F. WADMORE, A.R.I.B.A. ALTHOUGH we may gain much, useful information from Lambard, Hasted, Furley, and others, who have written on this subject, yet I venture to think that there are historical points and features in connection with this building, and the remarkable mound within it, which will be found fresh and interesting. I propose therefore to give an account of the mound and castle, as far as may be from pre-historic times, in connection with the Lords of the Castle and its successive owners. THE MOUND. Some years since, Dr. Fleming, who then resided at the castle, discovered on the mound a coin of Con- stantine, minted at Treves. Few will be disposed to dispute the inference, that the mound existed pre- viously to the coins resting upon it. We must not, however, hastily assume that the mound is of Roman origin, either as regards date or construction. The numerous earthworks and camps which are even now to be found scattered over the British islands are mainly of pre-historic date, although some mounds may be considered Saxon, and others Danish. Many are even now familiarly spoken of as Caesar's or Vespa- sian's camps, like those at East Hampstead (Berks), Folkestone, Amesbury, and Bensbury at Wimbledon. Yet these are in no case to be confounded with Roman TONBEIDGHE CASTLE AND ITS LORDS. 13 camps, which in the times of the Consulate were always square, although under the Emperors both square and oblong shapes were used.* These British camps or burys are of all shapes and sizes, taking their form and configuration from the hill-tops on which they were generally placed.

  • From Charlemagne to Hitler: the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and Its Symbolism
    From Charlemagne to Hitler: The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and its Symbolism Dagmar Paulus (University College London) [email protected] 2 The fabled Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a striking visual image of political power whose symbolism influenced political discourse in the German-speaking lands over centuries. Together with other artefacts such as the Holy Lance or the Imperial Orb and Sword, the crown was part of the so-called Imperial Regalia, a collection of sacred objects that connotated royal authority and which were used at the coronations of kings and emperors during the Middle Ages and beyond. But even after the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the crown remained a powerful political symbol. In Germany, it was seen as the very embodiment of the Reichsidee, the concept or notion of the German Empire, which shaped the political landscape of Germany right up to National Socialism. In this paper, I will first present the crown itself as well as the political and religious connotations it carries. I will then move on to demonstrate how its symbolism was appropriated during the Second German Empire from 1871 onwards, and later by the Nazis in the so-called Third Reich, in order to legitimise political authority. I The crown, as part of the Regalia, had a symbolic and representational function that can be difficult for us to imagine today. On the one hand, it stood of course for royal authority. During coronations, the Regalia marked and established the transfer of authority from one ruler to his successor, ensuring continuity amidst the change that took place.

The RMMP also establishes certain rules that have the force of law; violations of these rules are punishable as provided for herein and in the Colorado Revised Statutes, as they may be amended from time to time. DEFINITION OF A ROAD A Road as defined by Colorado Revised Statutes ([§42-1-102(85), C.R.S.]) "Roadway" means that portion of a highway improved, designed, or ordinarily used for vehicular travel, exclusive of the sidewalk, berm, or shoulder even though such sidewalk, berm, or shoulder is used by persons riding bicycles or other human-powered vehicles and exclusive of that portion of a highway designated for exclusive use as a bicycle path or reserved for the exclusive use of bicycles, human-powered vehicles, or pedestrians. In the event that a highway includes two or more separate roadways, "roadway" refers to any such roadway separately but not to all such roadways collectively. Pitkin County considers all appurtenances to roadways, such as parking, drainage structures, and snow storage areas to be part of the roadway.

This descent from, the castle terminated in a street • which, in the Itegistrum Rqffense, is called Venella, and was the grand av.enne from the High Street to the castle, which no doubt procured it the name of Castle Street,* which it appears by a Court Eoll to have retained so low at least as 1576." The descent from the castle, as -will be seen from the above extract, was a steep roadway formed on two arches turned over the castle ditch, and the lower of these arches is shewn as No. 1 in our Plate; the remains of the more central and probably the more spacious arch under the road- way, spanning the moat, have altogether disappeared. The lower archway, shewn in our illustration, was formed of large blocks of chalk, with some rag-stone. • I regret to say that no exact measurements were taken, but the width of the areh in its broadest part may be approximately stated at 12 feet, and the height about 8 feet. It was impossible to get more than a few feet into the interior, which was filled with rubbish. The ditch, on the south side of this road or causeway, now forming the site of the new Liberal Club, had been to a great extent levelled, and wooden buildings had been standing there for probably a century and a half; they were altogether re- moved in 1888.

FOREWORD Dear Cyclists, Discovering Europe on a bicycle – the Rhine Cycle Route makes it possible. It runs from the Alps to a North Sea beach and on its way links Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands. This guide will point the way. Within the framework of the EU-funded “Demarrage” project, the Rhine Cycle Route has been trans- formed into a top tourism product. For the first time, the whole course has been signposted from the source to the mouth. Simply follow the EuroVelo15 symbol. The Rhine Cycle Route is also the first long distance cycle path to be certified in accordance with a new European standard. Testers belonging to the German ADFC cyclists organisation and the European Cyclists Federation have examined the whole course and evaluated it in accordance with a variety of criteria. This guide is another result of the European cooperation along the Rhine Cycle Route. We have broken up the 1233-kilometre course up into 13 sections and put together cycle-friendly accom- modation, bike stations, tourist information and sightseeing attractions – the basic package for an unforgettable cycle touring holiday.

For the following remarks, suggested by the list of Exactions enume• rated in the foregoing deeds of the Barrys lords of Olethan and Orrery, the Editor is indebted to James F. Ferguson, esq. of the Exchequer Record Office at Dublin :- The unsettled state of Ireland, from the earliest period of its history until the time of its final subjugation at the close of Elizabeth's reign, has, in addition to various other evils, occasioned the loss or destruction of by far the greater number of the ancient title-deeds by which the landed estates and other property of that kingdom have been conveyed. It is therefore desirable at this day to give to such portion of family muniments as still remain that perpetuity which the public press is. best calculated to afford. As private documents of this nature arc for the most part penned in the ordinary and well-known phraseology of the law, short notes of their contents are all that need be required ; but it some• times happens ( as in two instances before us) that unusual clauses are introduced which are not devoid of historical interest. \Ve allude to those portions of the deeds marked F. 6 and F. 42, pp. 116 and 118, which contain a reservation of certain " Irish Ei<.actions;" and as we find that this is a subject which has been but casually glanced at by any of the Irish writers, we have sought for information from other sources, and more especially from such of the ancient public records of Ireland as are accessible.
