Its origins date back to the end of the 6th century; when saint Gall came to the duke of Alamannia, Gunzo, around the year 613, the duke promised him the episcopate, if he would cure his doughter.i In the 9th century some of the bishops also were abbots of the monasteries on the Island Reichenau and of Saint Gall. Three of the bishops were called Salomon, one being the uncle of the following.ii The noble family they belonged to is not known, but they possessed land on the southern shore of Lake Constance, in the province of Thurgau. Salomon III. was educated in the monastery of Saint Gall, and prepared especially for the episcopate. Maybe his uncle and granduncle also benefitted from such an education. Even their predecessor, bishop Wolfleoz, started his career as monk in Saint Gall. It is likely that the three Salomons were given their names with the wish, that they once would gain this office.

  • The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages

    The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages

    The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages Submitted by Richard Nevell, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology in October 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Medieval castle slighting is the phenomenon in which a high-status fortification is demolished in a time of conflict. At its heart are issues about symbolism, the role of castles in medieval society, and the politics of power. Although examples can be found throughout the Middle Ages (1066–1500) in England, Wales and Scotland there has been no systematic study of the archaeology of castle slighting. Understanding castle slighting enhances our view of medieval society and how it responded to power struggles. This study interrogates the archaeological record to establish the nature of castle slighting: establishing how prevalent it was chronologically and geographically; which parts of castles were most likely to be slighted and why this is significant; the effects on the immediate landscape; and the wider role of destruction in medieval society. The contribution of archaeology is especially important as contemporary records give little information about this phenomenon. Using information recovered from excavation and survey allows this thesis to challenge existing narratives about slighting, especially with reference to the civil war between Stephen and Matilda (1139–1154) and the view that slighting was primarily to prevent an enemy from using a fortification.

    Historical Journey Along the River Tees and Its Tributaries

    Historical Journey along the River Tees and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Tees beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with facets of interest to me during the 30 years or so that I spent living and working near the River Tees.

Piercebridge Circular - a short 1 km walk exploring the roman history of this important River Tees Crossing point. Piercebridge Roman Fort Piercebridge Roman Fort is one of a number of forts built along Dere Street, which was one of the most important roads in Roman Britain. The Romans probably first came to Piercebridge in 70 AD when Cerialis attacked the British camp at Stanwick, three miles south of Piercebridge. Between 79 and 85 AD during Agricola's northern campaigns it is likely that Piercebridge was a major strategic river crossing on the main eastern supply route and a military presence to guard a bridge would be expected, yet no trace of a fort of this period has been located.

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.

    The Lambsar Castle: from Foundation Until Now

    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND March 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 The Lambsar Castle: from Foundation until now Ali Rajabi Dr.Mahmoud Mahdavi Damghani Dr.Ardeshir Asad beigy Abstract Since the earliest days, in the southern and northern foothills of the Alborz mountain, several castles were constructed, which the history of some of them is belonged to pre-Islam era. Local kings have built strong and impenetrable castles to protect their life and property. The importance of these historical monuments is obvious for everyone. The most important way of understanding the past of nations and people is to know their monuments. The Lambsar castle is the largest, strongest, and most beautiful castle of Sasanian in Iran, which is located in the center of eastern Alamut, about two kilometers northeast of Razmian. The access is impossible from east and west due to the deep valleys of Nineh river and “Lamme-dar”, and the north and south fronts are the only possible ways to get into the castle. The castle area is about ninety thousand square meters. There are several opinions regarding the construction date of the Lambsar castle. Some believed that the main building of the castle was built at early Islam or goes back to pre-Islamic (Sassanian period) and some believed that at Ismailis Alamut era. This research is carried out based on a combination of historical, documentary, and field study. The researchers has studied to find the Lambsar castle construction date, to know what happened on it during the history, and who have been living in it? What role did this castle play in the era of the Alamut Ismaili’s? The castle's construction date is attributed to before the era of Ismailis of Alamut.
