  • POLISH ROYAL ANCESTRY Book 1 - Medieval Era (Abt
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY POLISH ROYAL ANCESTRY Book 1 - Medieval Era (abt. 800-1400) INTRODUCTION Poland has had a very tumultuous past involving several wars. It has been attacked by Tatars and Russians from the East, Turks and Austrians from the South, Teuotonic Knights and Prussians from the West and Swedes from the North. It has been occupied and divided countless times but always maintained a small but very patriotic core, which has made it possible to survive. I micro similarity to what has happened in Poland is how Berlin was divided in four zones after World War II. The information about our lineage from the Polish royalty is somewhat unique in that we are directly related to the rulers from the first one to the 12th generation (great grand parents) where our direct lineage branches away from the Polish. The subsequent rulers are thus cousins. Below is a list of the ancestors, those covered in the text are highlighted. In some cases the spouses are also highlighted, this indicated that we are related to them also, but from a different lineage. The lineage to us is listed at the end of this book. The era and the Piast dynasty, covered by Book 1 ends with Saint Hedwig (Jadwiga) King of Poland, who had no children. Note that although a female, she was designated “King” according to the Polish custom. Book 2 begins with her husband, Jogaila Wladyslaw II Jagiello King of Poland, who with his second wife was the first of the next Jagellonian dynasty. He is not a direct ancestor for us, but we do have a common ancestor, Vladimir II "Monomach" Grand Duke of Kiev, my 26th great grand father.

  • Hairy Girls in Medieval and Early Modern German Book, Court and Performance Culture*
    German Life and Letters 67:4 October 2014 0016-8777 (print); 1468–0483 (online) ‘A WONDERFULL MONSTER BORNE IN GERMANY’: HAIRY GIRLS IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN GERMAN BOOK, COURT AND PERFORMANCE CULTURE* M. A. KATRITZKY (The Open University) ABSTRACT Human hirsuteness, or pathological hair growth, can be symptomatic of various conditions, including genetic mutation or inheritance, and some cancers and hormonal disturbances. Modern investigations into hirsuteness were initiated by nineteenth-century German physicians. Most early modern European cases of hypertrichosis (genetically determined all-over body and facial hair) involve German-speaking parentage or patronage, and are documented in German print culture. Through the Wild Man tradition, modern historians routinely link early modern reception of historical hypertrichosis cases to issues of ethnicity without, however, recognising early modern awareness of links between temporary hirsuteness and the pathological nexus of starvation and anorexia. Here, four cases of hirsute females are reconsidered with reference to this medical perspective, and to texts and images uncovered by my current research at the Herzog August Library and German archives. One concerns an Italian girl taken to Prague in 1355 by the Holy Roman Empress, Anna von Schweidnitz. Another focuses on Madeleine and Antonietta Gonzalez, daughters of the ‘Wild Man’ of Tenerife, documented at German courts in the 1580s. The third and fourth cases consider the medieval bearded Sankt Kummernis¨ (also known as St Wilgefortis or St Uncumber), and the seventeenth-century Bavarian fairground performer Barbara Urslerin. Krankhafter menschlicher Hirsutismus kann aufgrund unterschiedlicher Ursachen auftreten, zu denen u.a. genetische Veranderungen¨ und Vererbung, verschiedene Krebserkrankungen und hormonelle Storungen¨ gehoren.¨ Die moderne Hirsutismus-Forschung ist im 19.

Konkrétně z částečně strukturovaných tabulek na Wikipedii zvaných infoboxy. Na základě interakce s uţivatelem data propojuje poţadovaným způsobem a výsledek uloţí v dále pouţitelném formátu pro zobrazení v časové ose Timeline. Uţivateli je tak umoţněno téměř automatizovaným postupem sestavovat například rodokmeny historických osobností, vládnoucí linie a různé další mapy vztahů mezi osobami. KLÍČOVÁ SLOVA konfigurovatelná těţba dat, otevřené zdroje informací, Wikipedie, infobox, infoboxy ABSTRACT Within this bachelor thesis was created a tool that allows configurable obtaining graph data from open sources of the information. The tool is design to work specifically with the semi- structured tables on Wikipedia called infoboxes. It links the data in the desired way based on the interaction with user and saves the result in another usable format for the Timeline. Therefore user can construct for example family trees of historical figures, ruling dynasties and other various relationship maps by almost automated manner.
