Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy. -

To the Praiseworthy Administrative Court of the High Prince of Salzburg in Hüttenstein, St. Gilgen2 Salzb., 24Th Feb. 1787
1034. LEOPOLD MOZART TO HIS DAUGHTER,1 ST. GILGEN To the Praiseworthy Administrative Court of the High Prince of Salzburg in Hüttenstein, St. Gilgen2 Salzb., 24th Feb. 1787. Yesterday evening, the 23rd,3 it was already gone 6 o’clock when we arrived back safely, since the road, especially leaving Munich,4 was so broken and bad that we did not reach Obing5 until 9 o’clock. [5] Here6 I found no rooms heated except the children’s room, since no fire had been lit in my heating oven for the whole time we were away; Tresel7 should at least have warmed the rooms on Thursday8 and yesterday as a precaution, since both servants knew that we could not stay away longer because there were so many conditions attached to our leave, [10] and the Archbishop9 sent a message here on the Saturday afternoon10 asking us to include the new violinist11 in the music in the evening because he had the wonderful idea that on Sunday I would let myself be tortured and broken the whole night through in the post-coach to Munich. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The new violinist has probably already been taken on because he played at the Divine Office in the cathedral on Sunday,12 [15] as Herr von D’Yppold told Nandl.13 I have forgotten his name because it is a strange name.14 We shall have to wait and see where it goes from here. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– All the Marchands,15 Brochards,16 Langs,17 Tavernier,18 Frau von Durst,19 Dufraisne20 etc. etc. commend themselves, [20] and they all believe and hope that they will see you both in Munich. -
Karl Drais Born 29.4.1785 in Karlsruhe, Died 10.12.1851 in Karlsruhe. Short Biography Karl Drais, Baptised As Karl Friedrich
Karl Drais born 29.4.1785 in Karlsruhe, died 10.12.1851 in Karlsruhe. Short Biography Karl Drais, baptised as Karl Friedrich Christian Ludwig, Freiherr (= baron) Drais von Sauerbronn first was a forest officer employed by the grand duchy of Baden. Later he became off duty whilst retaining his salary and did start a carer as an inventor. Next to others, he did invent a device to record piano music on paper, then a stenograph using 16 characters, two four-wheeled human powered vehicles and on top of all, the two-wheeled velocipede, also called Draisine or hobby- horse, which he presented first time on June 12th 1817 in Mannheim. This was the first vehicle requiring to keep balance whilst using it as a key principle. It was equipped decades later by Pierre Michaux with pedals to become the modern bicycle and further down the road, the automobile invented by Carl Benz. For his inventions, Grand Duke Carl awarded Drais a pension and appointed him as a professor for mechanic science. His experiments with small rail-road bound vehicles did contribute to the railroad handcar, having even today the German name Draisine. Drais was a fervent democrat, supported the wave of revolutions that swept Europe in 1848, dropping his title and the aristocratic "von" from his name in 1849. After the revolution in Baden had collapsed, Drais became mobbed and ruined by royalists. After his death, Drais's enemies systematically repudiate his invention of horseless moving on two wheels.

The Lower Nobility in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the Early 15Th Century
| 73 The lower nobility in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the early 15 th century, based on the example of Jan Sádlo of Smilkov Silvie Van ēurova Preliminary communication UDK 177.6:32>(437.3)“14“ Abstract During the Hussite revolution, the lower nobility became an important, complex and powerful political force and exerted considerable influence over the Czech Kingdom. The life of Jan Sádlo of Smilkov is used as an example of a lower nobleman who, due to the political situation, was able to become an influential person and become involved in political developments prior to the revolution and in the revolution’s first year. The story of his life offers some possible interpretations of the events that may have impacted the lower nobility’s life at the beginning of 15 th century. Keywords : Lower nobility, Jan Sádlo of Smilkov, pre-Hussite period, Deeds of Complaint, Hussite revolution In the pre-Hussite period, the lower nobility represented a largely heterogeneous and also quite numerous class of medieval society. The influence of this social group on the growing crisis in the pre-Hussite period, its very involvement in the revolution and its in many regards not inconsiderable role during the Hussite Wars have been explored by several generations of historians thus far (Hole ēek 1979, 83-106; Polívka 1982b, Mezník 1987; Pla ēek 2008, Grant 2015). Yet new, unexplored issues still arise regarding the lower nobility’s property (Polívka 1978: 261-272, Jurok 2000: 63-64, Šmahel 2001: 230-242), its local position (Petrá Ÿ 1994: Mezník 1999: 129-137, 362-375; Mlate ēek 2004) and continuity, as well as kinship ties (Mlate ēek 2014) and its involvement in politics. -

Nobility Titles and Free Movement: Case C-438/14 Nabiel Peter Bogendorff Von Wolffersdorff1
Pécs Journal of International and European Law - 2017/I Nobility Titles and Free Movement: Case C-438/14 Nabiel Peter Bogendorff von Wolffersdorff1 Ágoston Mohay Norbert Tóth Assistant professor, University of Pécs Lecturer, National University of Public Service On 2 June 2016, the Court of Justice of the European Union delivered its latest judgment in a line of cases dealing with rules on the construction of names and, more specifically, rules on nobility titles. Our case provides a concise overview of the judgment2, and provides some critical remarks. Keywords: Court of Justice of the European Union, nobility titles, free movement 1. The Facts of the Case Nabiel Peter Bogendorff von Wolffersdorff, a German national, moved to the United Kingdom in 2001, making use of the right of free movement, and exercised the profession of insolvency adviser in London. He later acquired British nationality by naturalisation (2004), whilst retaining his German nationality as well. By means of a deed poll, Mr. Bogendorff von Wolffersdorff changed his name so that, under English law, he is called Peter Mark Emanuel Graf von Wolffersdorff Freiherr von Bogendorff.3 He subsequently left the UK together with his spouse and moved back to Germany, where they continue to live together with their daughter born in 2006.4 In 2013, he asked the Register office of the city of Karlsruhe to enter in the register of civil status the forenames and surname he had acquired under British legislation.5 The registration was refused by the office, and the applicant went to court seeking an order that the office shall amend his birth certificate with retroactive effect.
