Ostwald, M.A. The Ohio State University 2002 Approved by Dissertation Committee: Professor John Rule, Co-Adviser Co-Adviser Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Co-Adviser Department of History Professor Geoffrey Parker Professor John Lynn Co-Adviser Department of History UMI Number: 3081952 ________________________________________________________ UMI Microform 3081952 Copyright 2003 by ProQuest Information and Learning Company.

This microform edition is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ____________________________________________________________ ProQuest Information and Learning Company 300 North Zeeb Road PO Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Over the course of Louis XIV’s fifty-four year reign (1661-1715), Western Europe witnessed thirty-six years of conflict. Siege warfare figures significantly in this accounting, for extended sieges quickly consumed short campaign seasons and prevented decisive victory. The resulting prolongation of wars and the cost of besieging dozens of fortresses with tens of thousands of men forced “fiscal- military” states to continue to elevate short-term financial considerations above long-term political reforms; Louis’s wars consumed 75% or more of the annual royal budget. Historians of 17th century Europe credit one French engineer – Sébastien le Prestre de Vauban – with significantly reducing these costs by toppling the impregnability of 16th century artillery fortresses. Vauban perfected and promoted an efficient siege, a “scientific” method of capturing towns that minimized a besieger’s casualties, delays and expenses, while also sparing the town’s civilian populace.

  • Special and Public Lectures and Courses
    Special and Public Lectures and Courses SPECIAL LECTURES Elementary Irish A course in Irish for beginners is given each year. It is, as a rule, confined to members of staff, students on the College books and graduates of the University. PUBLIC LECTURES The Sarah Davis memorial lectures in communications in health care A public lecture is given from time to time financed by a fund established by colleagues and friends to commemorate Sarah Davis, 1943-82, who was a member of staff of the Department of Statistics. The objective of the fund is to promote the study of communications in health care by organising occasional lectures and other means. The Godfrey Day memorial lectures The Godfrey Day memorial lectureship was founded by the Board on 9 December 1939. Each year a lecture (or lectures) on a missionary theme is organised. The Board appoints the lecturer on the nomination of the Missionary Council of the Church of Ireland which is at all times advised by the committee of the Dublin University Far Eastern Mission. The Donnellan lectures The Donnellan lectures were founded by the Board on 22 February 1794, to carry out the intentions of Miss Anne Donnellan, of the parish of St George, Hanover Square, Middlesex, spinster, who bequeathed £1,243 to the College ‘for the encouragement of religion, learning, and good manners; the particular mode of application being left to the Provost and Senior Fellows’. The subject is presented in not less than two lectures. The E.S. and R. Duthie lecture in microbiology In 1984 the late Mrs Ruth Duthie made a gift of £1,000 to the College, which she augmented in 1989 by a further £1,000, to fund a lecture to be delivered once every two years, the lecturer to be chosen by the Professor of Microbiology and the Head of the Unit of Clinical Microbiology.

  • History of the Healy Name Notes and Recorded Resources Compiled by Eddie Geoghegan Featured on Coats of Arms
    History of the Healy Name Notes and recorded resources compiled by Eddie Geoghegan Featured on Coats of Arms: http://www.araltas.com/features/healy/ Healy, Hely, Heely, Heeley, Haly, Haley and so on are all anglicised form of two native Gaelic-Irish names. Rarely, if ever, found these days with their rightful "O'" prefix, the combined strength of these names take them to number forty seven in the list of most common surnames in Ireland with about thirteen thousand individuals thus called. The first sept originated in county Sligo in the northwest. These were originally called Ó hÉlidhe, the name being derived from the Irish word eilidh meaning "claimant", though what was being claimed is unrecorded. This sept had its territory territory at the foot of the Curlew Mountains on the western shore of Lough Arrow, i.e. the corner of County Sligo lying between Counties Mayo and Roscommon. The place name of Ballyhely testifies to their origins. The name first appears in the written records of the area in 1309, when the Annals of the Four Masters record "Hugh, the son of Owen, son of Rory, son of Hugh, son of Cathal Crovderg, King of Connaught, and worthy heir to the monarchy of Ireland, the most hospitable and expert at arms of all the Irish born in his time, was slain by Hugh Breifneach, the son of Cathal O'Conor, at Coill-an-clochain, together with many of the chiefs of his people about him. Among these were Conor Mac Dermot; Dermot Roe, son of Teige O'Conor; Dermot, son of Cathal Carragh, Mac Dermot; Hugh, son of Murtough, son of Teige, son of Mulrony; and Dermot O'Healy, a princely brughaidh (farmer), the best of his time." Numerically stronger, however, are the members of the Munster sept, where the name was originally Ó hÉaliaghthe or the shortened Ó hÉilaigh, probably from the Irish ealadhach meaning (ingenious).
