query: Patricia Franklin was cast in Saved.

pos: Saved (play) Saved is a play by Edward Bond which premiered at the Royal Court Theatre , London in November 1965 .   The play itself is set in London during the 1960s . Its subject is the cultural poverty and frustration of a generation of young people on the dole and living on council estates . In response to the censorship of the play , Laurence Olivier wrote a letter to The Observer , saying that : `` Saved is not a play for children but it is for grown-ups , and the grown-ups of this country should have the courage to look at it . '' U.S. novelist Mary McCarthy praised its `` remarkable delicacy '' .   Saved was originally refused a licence without severe cuts by the Lord Chamberlain . When it was performed to large private audiences , the Lord Chamberlain decided to prosecute those who were involved in the production of the play . Although the defendants pleaded guilty and were fined , the case reflected badly on the censorship office and was pivotal in the abolition of theatre censorship a few years later in 1968 .   The original cast included John Castle , Tony Selby , Ronald Pickup , Dennis Waterman , William Stewart , Barbara Ferris , Lucy Fleming , Gwen Nelson and Alison Fraser . The creative team included : director William Gaskill and lighting by Eric Baker .   In February 1969 , after the abolition of censorship in the 1968 Theatres Act , Saved was given its first full public run at the Royal Court Theatre in London . The revival cast included : Malcolm Tierney ( as Len ) , Kenneth Cranham ( as Fred ) , Patricia Franklin ( as Pam ) , Queenie Watts ( as Mary ) , Tom Chadbon , Peter Blythe and William Gaskill was the director .   The play is rarely revived , though its theme of social disenfranchisement is seen by Bond as very relevant to the present day . In October 2011 , the play was revived in London for the first time in 27 years , at the Lyric Hammersmith , directed by Sean Holmes .

pos: Philippines The Philippines ( -LSB- ˈfɪlᵻpiːnz -RSB- Pilipinas -LSB- ˌpɪlɪˈpinɐs -RSB- ) , officially the Republic of the Philippines ( -LSB- Republika ng Pilipinas , links = no -RSB- ) , is a sovereign island country in Southeast Asia situated in the western Pacific Ocean . It consists of about 7,641 islands that are categorized broadly under three main geographical divisions from north to south : Luzon , Visayas , and Mindanao . The capital city of the Philippines is Manila and the most populous city is Quezon City , both part of Metro Manila . Bounded by the South China Sea on the west , the Philippine Sea on the east and the Celebes Sea on the southwest , the Philippines shares maritime borders with Taiwan to the north , Vietnam to the west , Palau to the east and Malaysia and Indonesia to the south .   The Philippines ' location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and close to the equator makes the Philippines prone to earthquakes and typhoons , but also endows it with abundant natural resources and some of the world 's greatest biodiversity . The Philippines has an area of 300000 km2 , and a population of approximately 100 million . It is the eighth-most populated country in Asia and the 12th most populated country in the world . , approximately 10 million additional Filipinos lived overseas , comprising one of the world 's largest diasporas . Multiple ethnicities and cultures are found throughout the islands . In prehistoric times , Negritos were some of the archipelago 's earliest inhabitants . They were followed by successive waves of Austronesian peoples . Exchanges with Chinese , Malay , Indian , and Islamic nations occurred . Then , various competing maritime states were established under the rule of Datus , Rajahs , Sultans or Lakans .   The arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in Homonhon , Eastern Samar in 1521 marked the beginning of Hispanic colonization . In 1543 , Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos named the archipelago Las Islas Filipinas in honor of Philip II of Spain . With the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi from Mexico City , in 1565 , the first Hispanic settlement in the archipelago was established . The Philippines became part of the Spanish Empire for more than 300 years . This resulted in Roman Catholicism becoming the dominant religion . During this time , Manila became the western hub of the trans-Pacific trade connecting Asia with Acapulco in the Americas using Manila galleons .   As the 19th century gave way to the 20th , there followed in quick succession the Philippine Revolution , which spawned the short-lived First Philippine Republic , followed by the bloody Philippine -- American War of conquest by US military force . Aside from the period of Japanese occupation , the United States retained sovereignty over the islands until after World War II , when the Philippines was recognized as an independent nation . Since then , the Philippines has often had a tumultuous experience with democracy , which included the overthrow of a dictatorship by a non-violent revolution .   It is a founding member of the United Nations , World Trade Organization , Association of Southeast Asian Nations , the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum , and the East Asia Summit . It also hosts the headquarters of the Asian Development Bank . The Philippines is considered to be an emerging market and a newly industrialized country , which has an economy transitioning from being one based on agriculture to one based more on services and manufacturing . It is one of the only two predominantly Christian nations in Southeast Asia , the other being East Timor .

neg: Bartolomé Revilla Bartolomé Revilla y San Jose ( August 24 , 1867 -- May 7 , 1922 ) was a Filipino lawyer , judge , law professor and politician in the early stages of the American colonial period in the Philippines ( 1899-1946 ) .   Bartolomé Revilla was the very first Representative of the 2nd district of the newly created province of Rizal in the Philippines ( under US administration ) during the 1st Philippine Legislature of 1907 . Born in an uncle 's house in San Miguel , Bulacan ( north of Manila ) in August 24 , 1867 , Bartolomé spent most of his life in the Santa Cruz district of Manila where he died in 1922 . One of 6 children born to Don Ceferino Revilla and Rosenda San Jose , Bartolome as a young boy learned to read and write under the tutelage of another uncle , Teodoro Revilla Jr , who was a Canonigo de Gracia ( priest ) of the Manila Cathedral . The young Bartolomé went to Colegio de San Juan de Letran for his secondary education and then proceeded to the University of Santo Tomas where he completed his Law degree in 1894 . The book , Album Historico de la Primera Asamblea Filipina of 1907 ( Worcester Philippine Collection , Library of the University of Michigan and compiled by Anthony R. Tuohy ) also listed Bartolomé as being a Lieutenant in the legal corps of the Philippine Revolution against Spain .   In 1901 , the US colonial administration in the Philippines reorganized the Judiciary system and appointed highly select lawyers to form the judicial base of America 's prime colony and Bartolomé Revilla was appointed as the Secretary of The Department of Public Prosecution . It was also in this period that Bartolome Revilla found time to be a Professor of Law , heeding the call of fellow `` Ilustrado '' , Felipe Calderon -- after Don Felipe established the Escuela De Derecho which targeted the development of more skilled lawyers in the country . From then on to 1906 , he would serve several provinces in the Philippines -- this time in the official capacity as fiscal and judge of the court of first instance ( from the Report of the Philippine Commission to the US Secretary of War 1901 ) . A career judge , he worked closely with former Philippine Commonwealth president Manuel Quezon in the province of Tayabas , where Bartolome was Court of First Instance judge and Quezon was its governor . It is presumed that Manuel Quezon had invited Bartolome Revilla to leave the judiciary and run for the legislative branch . Both men were previously members of the Philippine Revolutionary Army under Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo and later on were party mates in the Partido Nacional Progresista , prior to the 1907 elections for the Philippine Assembly .   Bartolome Revilla resigned his official position in the judiciary to enter the 1907 elections where he won as the Representative of Rizal 's 2nd district . Thus he was elected as one of two first ever Representatives of the province 's history . The 1st District was duly won by Cayetano Lukban . Rizal Province 's 2nd District then included the following Municipalities : Antipolo , Binangonan , Cainta , Jalajala , Marikina ( Mariquina ) , Morong , Pasig , Pililla , San Mateo , Tanay , Taytay , Montalban ( re-established 1908 ) , Cardona ( re-established 1914 ) , Teresa ( re-established 1918 ) , Baras ( re-established 1920 ) , Angono ( re-established 1938 ) , Quezon City ( established 1939 ) .   As a Representative of the 1907-1909 Assembly , he was a member of the following committees : Appropriation , Civil Service , Elections and Revision of Laws . Finishing his term as Representative in 1909 , he chose not to run for re-election and instead went back to being an active member of the judiciary .   Bartolome Revilla was married to Doña Vitaliana Revilla of Pasig City and had eight children . He was also the brother of pioneer Philippine educator , Susana Revilla ( co-founder of Instituto de Mujeres in Manila ) .

neg: Philip IV of Spain Philip IV of Spain ( Felipe IV 8 April 1605 -- 17 September 1665 ) was King of Spain ( as Philip IV in Castille and Philip III in Aragon ) and Portugal as Philip III ( Filipe III ) . He ascended the thrones in 1621 and reigned in Spain until his death and in Portugal until 1640 . Philip is remembered for his patronage of the arts , including such artists as Diego Velázquez , and his rule over Spain during the challenging period of the Thirty Years ' War .   On the eve of his death in 1665 , the Spanish Empire had reached approximately 12.2 million square kilometers ( 4.7 million square miles ) in area but in other respects was in decline , a process to which Philip contributed with his inability to achieve successful domestic and military reform .

neg: Catholicism in the Second Spanish Republic Catholicism in the Second Spanish Republic was an important area of dispute , and tensions between the Catholic hierarchy and the Republic were apparent from the beginning - the establishment of the Republic began ` the most dramatic phase in the contemporary history of both Spain and the Church . ' The dispute over the role of the Catholic Church and the rights of Catholics were one of the major issues which worked against the securing of a broad democratic majority and `` left the body politic divided almost from the start . '' The historian Mary Vincent has argued that the Catholic Church was an active element in the polarising politics of the years preceding the Spanish Civil War . Similarly , Frances Lannon asserts that , `` Catholic identity has usually been virtually synonymous with conservative politics in some form or other , ranged from extreme authoritarianism through gentler oligarchic tendencies to democratic reformism . ''  The municipal elections of 1931 that triggered the establishment of the Second Spanish Republic and the Spanish Constitution of 1931 `` brought to power an anticlerical government . '' Prime Minister Manuel Azaña asserted that the Catholic Church was responsible in part for what many perceived as Spain 's backwardness and advocated the elimination of special privileges for the Church . An admirer of the pre-1914 Third French Republic , he wanted the Second Spanish Republic to emulate it , make secular schooling free and compulsory , and construct a non-religious basis for national culture and citizenship , part of the necessary updating and Europeanising of Spain .   Following elections in June 1931 , the new parliament approved an amended constitutional draft on 9 December 1931 . The constitution introduced , civil marriage and divorce . It also established free , secular education for all . However , anti-clerical laws nationalized Church properties and required the Church to pay rent for the use of properties which it had previously owned . In addition , the government forbade public manifestations of Catholicism such as processions on religious feast days , banished the crucifix from schools ; the Jesuits were expelled . Catholic schools continued , but outside the state system , and in 1933 further legislation banned all monks and nuns from teaching .   In May 1931 , after monarchist provocations , an outburst of mob violence against the Republic 's perceived enemies had led to the burning of churches , convents and religious schools in Madrid and other cities . Anticlerical sentiment and anticlerical legislation , particularly that of 1931 , meant that moderate Catholicism quickly became embattled and it was ultimately displaced .   In the election of November 1933 , the right-wing CEDA emerged as the largest single party in the new Cortes . President Alcalá-Zamora however asked the Radical leader Alejandro Lerroux to become Spain 's Prime Minister .   A general strike and armed rising of workers in October 1934 was forcefully put down by the government . This in turn energized political movements across the spectrum in Spain , including a revived anarchist movement and new reactionary and fascist groups , including the Falange and a revived Carlist movement .   Popular violence which marked the beginning of the Civil War , in the Republican zone saw churches and priests become conspicuous targets , viewed as an ideological enemy , and thirteen bishops and some 7000 - clergy , monks and nuns - were killed , nearly all in the first months , and thousands of churches were destroyed . Catholic heartland areas , with the exception of the Basque territory , largely supported Francisco Franco 's rebel Nationalist forces against the Popular Front government . In parts of Spain , like Navarra for example , the religious-patriotic zeal of priests could be very marked . According to the Benedictine writer Fr Hilari Raguer ; `` On the outbreak of Spanish Civil War the great majority , that is to say nearly the entire hierarchy of the Spanish Church , and nearly all the prominent among the laity , not only did nothing to restrain the conflict but spurred it on by joining almost en bloc one of the two sides , the side that ended by being the victor , and by demonizing whoever was working for peace . The Spanish Church -LSB- - -RSB- heated up the atmosphere before it started and added fuel to the flames afterwards . ''

neg: Council of the Indies The Council of the Indies ; officially , the Royal and Supreme Council of the Indies '' ' ( Real y Supremo Consejo de Indias , -LSB- reˈal i suˈpɾemo konˈsexo ðe ˈindjas -RSB- ) , was the most important administrative organ of the Spanish Empire for the Americas and the Philippines . The crown held absolute power over the Indies and the Council of the Indies was the administrative and advisory body for those overseas realms . It was established in 1524 by Charles V of Spain to administer `` the Indies , '' Spain 's name for its territories . Such an administrative entity , on the conciliar model of the Council of Castile , was created following the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire in 1521 , which demonstrated the importance of the Americas . It start as a section under the jurisdiction of the Council of Castile , but was then established as an autonomous body with legislative , executive and judicial functions . The Council of the Indies was abolished in 1812 by the Cádiz Cortes , briefly restored in 1814 by Ferdinand VII of Spain , and definitively abolished in 1834 by the regency , acting on behalf of the four-year-old Isabella II of Spain .

neg: Taft Commission The Taft Commission , also known as Second Philippine Commission ( Filipino : Ikalawang Komisyon ng Pilipinas ) was established by United States President William McKinley on March 16 , 1900 following the recommendations of the First Philippine Commission . The Second Commission was at first the sole legislative body of the Philippines , then known as the Philippine Islands under the sovereign control of the United States , while still under the Philippine -- American War . After the passage of the Philippine Organic Act in 1902 , the Commission functioned as a House of bicameral legislature until it was supplanted in 1916 by an elected legislature established in 1916 by the Philippine Autonomy Act .   William Howard Taft was the first head of the Philippine Commission , a post he filled between March 16 , 1900 and July 4 , 1901 , after which the commission head also became the Civil Governor of the Philippines . He held the post until January 31 , 1904 after he was appointed as the Secretary of War by Pres. Theodore Roosevelt . The Philippine Commission was subsequently headed by a number of persons , but is often mentioned informally and collectively as the `` Taft Commission '' .

neg: Miguel Iglesias Miguel Iglesias Pino de Arce ( June 11 , 1830 , Cajamarca , Peru -- November 7 , 1909 , Lima , Peru ) was a Peruvian soldier , general , and politician who served as the 35th President of Peru ( Regenerator President of the Republic ) from 1882 to 1885 .   The original name of the family was de la Iglesia . Their ancestor was Captain Álvaro de la Iglesia who fought against the Moors in Spain in the 8th century . Lorenzo Iglesias Espinach left his home town of Solivella in Catalonia in the early 19th century to join three uncles on his mother 's side who had founded the Chota silver mine , near the town of Cajamarca , in the county of the same name , in north Peru , in 1780 . Lorenzo Iglesias Espinach became both the heir of his uncles and sub-Prefect of Cajamarca ; was a friend of Simón Bolívar who stayed with him in Cajamarca ; and was one of the group of dissident Spanish colonists who supported independence from Spain . In 1820 Lorenzo Iglesias married Rosa Pino and their son , Miguel , was born ten years later .   Miguel Iglesias Pino , later General and President , and known to posterity as `` El Pacificador '' inherited a 250000 acre estate from his forebears , as well as lucrative silver mines . His power in the town of Cajamarca and the surrounding area was that of a feudal magnate and he had been recruiting troops with his own money - effectively a private army - since the 1866 war with Spain . He had been one of the senior army officers present at the Peruvian victory on the `` Dos de mayo '' , was given the rank of Colonel , and named as Prefect of Cajamarca . In 1874 , Iglesias initiated a revolution against the government of President Manuel Pardo and proclaimed himself political and military Chief of the North . Even though Iglesias 's rebellion was a failure , he was not brought to account because no-one in Lima dared to confront the power of Iglesias in Cajamarca . Thus , Iglesias was able to consolidate his position in his northern Peruvian fiefdom . When war broke out in 1879 , between a coalition of Peru allied with Bolivia , ranged against Chile , Iglesias commenced to raise a new private militia .   The war , now known as the War of the Pacific , quickly began to go wrong for Peru . In the campaign of November 1879 the Peruvian Navy lost their two most important warships , the iron clad Independencia was sunk by a corvette called Covadonga and the iron clad Huascar was captured by the iron clad Cochrane and Blanco Encalada , which had been supplied to Chile and Peru by British shipyards ; the southern department of Tarapacá was overrun ; and the professional Peruvian army was broken . Subsequently , Iglesias 's friend , Nicolás de Piérola , launched a successful coup d'état , declaring himself Supreme Commander in Chief , and on December 23 , 1879 he replaced President Prado who was considered to have mismanaged the conduct of the war thus far . One of the battalions lending their armed support to Pierola was Iglesias 's `` Vencedores de Cajamarca '' and Pierola appointed Iglesias as Secretary of War in his new government .   Iglesias was no armchair politician , but was a courageous fighting soldier . Iglesias personally took charge of organising the defense of the Peruvian capital city against the advancing Chileans in January 1881 . Iglesias 's principal defensive lines were at the Morro Solar , a hill just south of Lima . He had 5000 men , mostly recruited from Cajamarca , who had been trained and armed by him at his own expense to defend Lima . After the Peruvian Second Division had been forced to retreat from San Juan , the battle for Lima became concentrated on the Morro Solar . The first Chilean assault on the hill was repulsed but Chilean reinforcements and artillery were then brought up . Iglesias found himself surrounded , and outnumbered , by 9000 Chilean troops and came under a withering barrage . Because the professional Peruvian army had previously been decimated in the south , losing much of its most modern equipment in the process , Iglesias had only primitive , Peruvian manufactured , rifles which were without adequate sights and were inferior to the Chilean Krupps . Of the men who defended the Morro Solar only 280 were taken prisoner . Among those killed was General Iglesias 's son Alejandro , aged 22 . Miguel Iglesias was taken prisoner along with Carlos de Pierola , the brother of the President , and Guillermo Billinghurst , Secretary of State . These three men , along with other important Peruvian notables , were about to be shot by a firing squad on the orders of a Chilean sergeant who did not believe in keeping prisoners alive . Just in time , Billinghurst stepped forward out of the execution line and managed to persuade the sergeant that he would do better to take them as prisoners to the Chilean commander , General Baquedano . Billinghurst and Iglesias were later Presidents of Peru , instead of corpses - such is Providence .   After the defeat on the Morro Solar , Chile did not recognize Pierola as President and replaced him with a puppet in Lima 's presidential palace . Having escaped back to Cajamarca , Iglesias continued the war against Chile in the north of Peru , whilst General Andrés Avelino Cáceres fought on against the Chileans in the Andes . On the Morro Solar , Iglesias had declared `` I will not give in ; I will fight while I can '' and now saw his mission as `` to search out and defeat the enemy wherever we meet him '' . He achieved a victory over the Chileans at San Pablo , Cajamarca , on 13 July 1882 but soon afterwards a fresh Chilean force reoccupied the region and carried out brutal reprisals . Following this , Iglesias became convinced that the war had to be brought to an end if Peru was not to be completely devastated .   Iglesias has been severely judged by Peruvian historians because he represented blunt reality as he saw the fundamental question was whether Peru was going to exist as a nation , or not . Iglesias saw that a few more years of prolonged occupation of Peru by Chile would render Peru into a colony of Chile , rather than a sovereign nation . Because he saw this clearly , he decided to convene a congress of the northern departments of Peru to proclaim him president of the whole country and him empower him with authority to negotiate with the Chileans . This claim to the Presidency recognised by Chile , Iglesias proceeded to the small seaside resort of Ancón , a short distance from Lima , to fulfill his grim mission of statesmanship . On 23 October 1883 Igleasias signed the Treaty of Ancón on behalf of Peru thereby ending the hostilities . The Treaty had fourteen clauses . Peru paid with Tarapacá as war reparations while the southern department of Arica and Tacna was to decide in a referendum , to be held ten years hence , whether it wanted to join Chile or remain part of Peru .   When he signed the Treaty of Ancón , Miguel Iglesias expected that his efforts to spare Peru further suffering , in a lost cause , would be rewarded with popular gratitude . It took him almost two years to understand that most Peruvians could not admire the man who had made himself the symbol of their resounding defeat . Iglesias initiated the restoration of the national library which had been sacked by the Chileans , but he did not discover a formula for rebuilding Peru 's political institutions . Unable to win allies through the judicious use of money because of the depleted state of the national treasury , Iglesias turned to increasingly repressive measures to silence the opposition , and his opponents fought back . On 27 August 1884 , guerrilla fighters launched an armed assault against Lima and almost managed to fight their way into the presidential palace . The tenacious defense of Iglesias threw back the attackers at the last barricade but they returned to the outskirts of Lima just over a year later . This time large numbers of the ordinary citizens of Lima decided to throw in their lot with the guerrillas , and Iglesias realised the full degree to which he lacked popular support . Deciding to avoid further bloodshed , Iglesias renounced the presidency in December 1885 , took refuge on an Italian ship , and eventually reached his estate of Udima in Cajamarca .   Iglesias had decided to retire from political life , and dedicate himself to farming , but the new Peruvian Government wanted to see him out of the country and , thereby , severed from the Cajamarca power base from which Iglesias had been able repeatedly to relaunch himself in the past . It was insinuated that Iglesias should leave Peru , and in 1886 he and his wife Maria ( daughter of Manuel Alonso de Posadas ) went into exile in Europe . They took a retinue of servants and socialised for two years in Madrid and Paris . In 1888 the ban against Iglesias was lifted , and he and his wife were able to return to Peru . President Caceres reinstated Iglesias as a General with full pay and sent the news to him by special messenger . However , in overall terms , Peru remained impoverished by its defeat in war and could only afford to give Iglesias a small engraved wooden box from the Peruvian nation by way of thanks for all the troops that he had paid for in the War of the Pacific .   A few years later , in 1895 , the people of Cajamarca voted Iglesias in as their Senator in an uncontested election . Iglesias and his wife had eleven children and 1895 was also the year the General 's youngest daughter , Gaudencia , married a Scot named Edgar Fraser Luckie who had made a fortune from gold mining in British Guiana and then bought the Andahuasi sugar farming estate near Sayan , north of Lima .

neg: Purism (Spanish architecture) Purism ( architecture ) redirects here . For another form of purism in architecture , see Purism ( arts )   Purism is an initial phase of Renaissance architecture in Spain , which took place between 1530 and 1560 , after to Isabelline Gothic and prior to the Herrerian architecture in the last third of the 16th century . The name `` Prince Philip '' refers to the period in which Philip II of Spain ( born in 1527 ) had not yet received the inheritance of the Spanish Monarchy by abdication of his father the Emperor Charles V ( 1556 ) . The name `` Serlian '' is due to the influential architect and treatise Sebastiano Serlio ( in addition to the architectural element called Serlian in his honor ) . The Greco-Roman , the purist and the casticist are relate to the interpretation given to different elements of style , whether intellectual , formal , structural or decorative . Until then , writers of the period termed the classicist forms of the Italian Renaissance as the roman ( Diego de Sagredo Las Medidas del Romano , 1526 ) , while the late-Gothic forms were called the modern . For a more stylistic periodization more common in the art history , at that point of the 16th century the Cinquecento had entered in its Mannerist phase , while for the Spanish art is commonly used the expression High Renaissance ( reserving the term Low Renaissance for the last third of the century ) .

neg: History of Panama (to 1821) In the history of Panama , the earliest known inhabitants were the Cueva and Coclé tribes , but they were drastically reduced by disease and fighting when the Spanish arrived in the 16th century . But \ some moved out of Panama to have children and increase population .   Rodrigo de Bastidas , sailing westward from Venezuela in 1501 in search of gold , was the first European to explore the Isthmus of Panama . 10 years later , Vasco Núñez de Balboa visited the Isthmus and established a short-lived settlement in the Darién . Vasco Núñez de Balboa 's torturous trek from the Atlantic to the Pacific in 1513 demonstrated that the Isthmus was , indeed , the path between the seas , and Panama quickly became the crossroads and marketplace of Spain 's empire in the New World . Gold and silver were brought by ship from South America , hauled across the Isthmus , and loaded aboard ships for Spain . The route became known as the Camino Real , or Royal Road , although it was more commonly known as Camino de Cruces ( Road of the Crosses ) because the road led to the TOWN of Venta Cruces located on the Rio Chagres .   Panama was part of the Spanish empire for nearly 300 years , from 1538 to 1821 . From the outset , Panamanian identity was based on a sense of `` geographic destiny '' , and Panamanian fortunes fluctuated with the geopolitical importance of the Isthmus . The colonial experience also spawned Panamanian nationalism as well as a racially complex and highly stratified society , the source of internal conflicts that ran counter to the unifying force of nationalism .

neg: Castilians Castilians ( Spanish : castellanos ) are certain inhabitants in regions of central Spain including at least the eastern part of Castile and León , the northern and eastern parts of Castile-La Mancha , and the Madrid community , who are the source of the Spanish language ( Castilian ) among other aspects of cultural identity . However , not all people in the regions of the medieval Kingdom of Castile think of themselves as Castilian . For this reason , the exact limits of what Castile is today are disputed . As an ethnicity , they are most commonly associated with the sparsely populated inner plateau of the Iberian peninsula , which is split in two by the Sistema Central mountain range and Northern or `` Old Castile '' from southern or `` New Castile '' , the latter being somewhat closer in terms of culture and dialect to southern regions of Spain such as Andalusia , Extremadura and Murcia .   Through the Reconquista and other conquests in the Middle Ages , the Kingdom of Castile ( later Crown of Castile ) spread over a large part of the Iberian Peninsula , especially towards the southern Spanish regions . After this , since the 15th century , through the Spanish colonization of the Americas , the Castilians also spread over the New World , bringing with them not only their language , but also elements of their culture and traditions .

neg: Spanish Netherlands Spanish Netherlands ( Países Bajos españoles Spaanse Nederlanden ) ; Pays-Bas espagnols ) was the collective name of States of the Holy Roman Empire in the Low Countries , held in personal union by the Spanish Crown ( also called Habsburg Spain ) from 1581 to 1714 . This region comprised most of modern Belgium and Luxembourg , as well as parts of northern France and western Germany . The capital was Brussels .   The Imperial fiefs of the former Burgundian Netherlands had been inherited by the Austrian House of Habsburg from the extinct House of Valois-Burgundy upon the death of Mary of Burgundy in 1482 . The Seventeen Provinces formed the core of the Habsburg Netherlands which passed to the Spanish Habsburgs upon the abdication of Emperor Charles V in 1556 . When part of the Netherlands separated to form the autonomous Dutch Republic in 1581 , the remainder of the area stayed under Spanish rule until the War of the Spanish Succession .

neg: Monarchy of the Netherlands The monarchy of the Netherlands is constitutional and as such , the role and position of the monarch are defined and limited by the constitution of the Netherlands . Consequently , a fairly large portion of the Dutch constitution is devoted to the monarch ; roughly a third of the constitution describes the succession , mechanisms of accession and abdication to the throne , the roles and responsibilities of the monarch and the formalities of communication between the States-General of the Netherlands and the role of the monarch in the creation of laws .   The Kingdom of the Netherlands has been an independent monarchy since 16 March 1815 , but its one-time sovereign provinces have intermittently been `` governed '' by members of the House of Orange-Nassau and the House of Nassau from 1559 to 1747 , since Philip II of Spain appointed William of Orange as stadtholder . William became the leader of the Dutch Revolt and the independent Dutch Republic . As stadtholder , he was followed by several of his descendants . In 1747 , the function of stadtholder became a hereditary position in all Provinces of the thus `` crowned '' Dutch Republic . The last stadtholder was William V. His son became the first king as William I.

neg: French colonial empire The French colonial empire constituted the overseas colonies , protectorates and mandate territories that came under French rule from the 16th century onward . A distinction is generally made between the `` first colonial empire '' , that existed until 1814 , by which time most of it had been lost , and the `` second colonial empire '' , which began with the conquest of Algiers in 1830 . The second empire came to an end after the loss of bitter wars in Vietnam ( 1955 ) and Algeria ( 1962 ) , and peaceful decolonization elsewhere after 1960 .   Competing with Spain , Portugal , the United Provinces , and later Britain , France began to establish colonies in North America , the Caribbean , and India in the 17th century . A series of wars with Great Britain and other European major powers during the 18th century and early 19th century resulted in France losing nearly all of its conquests . France rebuilt a new empire mostly after 1850 , concentrating chiefly in Africa , as well as Indochina and the South Pacific . Republicans , at first hostile to empire , only became supportive when Germany started to build her own colonial empire . As it developed the new empire took on roles of trade with France , especially supplying raw materials and purchasing manufactured items , as well as lending prestige to the motherland and spreading French civilization and language , and the Catholic religion . It also provided manpower in the World Wars .   It became a moral mission to lift the world up to French standards by bringing Christianity and French culture . In 1884 the leading proponent of colonialism , Jules Ferry declared ; `` The higher races have a right over the lower races , they have a duty to civilize the inferior races . '' Full citizenship rights -- assimilation -- were offered , although in reality `` assimilation was always receding -LSB- and -RSB- the colonial populations treated like subjects not citizens . '' France sent small numbers of settlers to its empire , contrary to Great Britain , and previously Spain and Portugal , with the only notable exception of Algeria , where the French settlers nonetheless always remained a small minority .   At its apex , it was one of the largest empires in history . Including metropolitan France , the total amount of land under French sovereignty reached 11500000 km2 in 1920 , with a population of 110 million people in 1939 . In World War II , Charles de Gaulle and the Free French used the overseas colonies as bases from which they fought to liberate France . Historian Tony Chafer argues : `` In an effort to restore its world-power status after the humiliation of defeat and occupation , France was eager to maintain its overseas empire at the end of the Second World War . '' However , after 1945 anti-colonial movements began to challenge European authority . The French constitution of October 27 , 1946 ( Fourth Republic ) , established the French Union which endured until 1958 . Newer remnants of the colonial empire were integrated into France as overseas departments and territories within the French Republic . These now total altogether 119,394 km ² ( 46,098 sq. miles ) , which amounts to only 1 % of the pre-1939 French colonial empire 's area , with 2.7 million people living in them in 2013 . By the 1970s , says Robert Aldrich , the last `` vestiges of empire held little interest for the French . '' He argues , `` Except for the traumatic decolonization of Algeria , however , what is remarkable is how few long-lasting effects on France the giving up of empire entailed . ''


query: Margaret of Valois spent time imprisoned.

pos: Margaret of Valois Margaret of Valois ( Marguerite , 14 May 1553 -- 27 March 1615 ) was a French princess of the Valois dynasty who became queen consort of Navarre and later also of France .   A daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de ' Medici , Margaret was the sister of kings Francis II , Charles IX and Henry III , and of Elisabeth of Valois Queen of Spain , as well as Claude of Valois . Charles IX arranged for her to marry a distant cousin , King Henry III of Navarre , and she thus became Queen of Navarre in 1572 . In 1589 , after all her brothers had died leaving no sons , Margaret 's husband , the senior-most agnatic heir to France ( the `` Prince du sang '' ) , succeeded to the French throne as Henry IV , the first Bourbon King of France .   A queen of two kingdoms , Margaret was subjected to many political manipulations , including being held prisoner ( albeit at a comfortable castle ) by her own brother , Henry III of France , for many years . However , her life was anything but passive . She was famous for her beauty and sense of style , notorious for a licentious lifestyle , and also proved a competent memoirist . She was indeed one of the most fashionable women of her time , and influenced many of Europe 's royal courts with her clothing . Margaret took many lovers both during her marriage and after its annulment , of whom the best-known are Joseph Boniface de La Môle , Jacques de Harlay , Seigneur de Champvallon and Louis de Bussy d'Amboise . While imprisoned , she took advantage of the time to write her memoirs , which included a succession of stories relating to the disputes of her brothers Charles IX and Henry III with her husband . The memoirs were published posthumously in 1628 .   Her life has inspired a variety of stories over the centuries , beginning with William Shakespeare 's early comedy Love 's Labour 's Lost , which was in fact written within her lifetime , to Alexandre Dumas , père 's 1845 novel La Reine Margot ; to a 1994 movie La Reine Margot .

Arnaud Amanieu was the son of Bernard Ezi IV and Mathe of Armagnac .   In 1330 , Edward III of England sent men to Gascony to negotiate with the nobles . Beranrd Ezi IV tried to negotiate a marriage between Arnaud Amanieu and a daughter of Edmund of Woodstock , Earl of Kent , but the plans fell through .   In 1363 , Edward the Black Prince , then Duke of Gascony , went to his province to procure the homage of his barons , chief among whom was Arnaud Amanieu . In the cathedral of Bordeaux on 9 July , the lord of Albret was the first to kneel sans belt and cap before the Prince and swear an oath of fealty ( save his allegiance to the King of England ) , then to kiss a Bible and a cross , and finally to kiss the Prince on the mouth ( a `` holy kiss '' signifying fellowship and peace ) . However , good relations did not last long between Lord and Prince .   In 1368 , while preparing to cross the Pyrenees to join in the Castilian Civil War , Edward demanded a contingent from Arnaud Amanieu , but the forces requested were more than the lord of Albret could suffice . Arnaud Amanieu refused , causing the Black Prince to say :   Edward 's Council also declared a fouage , a new tax , which was bitterly resented by the great landholders . John I of Armagnac , Peter-Raymond II of Comminges , Roger Bernard of Périgord , and Arnaud Amanieu sent appeals to Charles V of France , appeals which are preserved to this day in the Archives Nationales in Paris . They addressed him as the `` sovereign lord of the duchée de Guienne and the other lands baillées to the king of England by the treaty of peace . '' Needless to say , the king of France readily received the Gascon rebels into his fold .   On 30 June 1368 , after Arnaud Amanieu married Margaret of Bourbon , a secret treaty was signed between Charles V , Arnaud Amanieu , John , and Roger Bernard . Charles pledged aid in the event of war and he swore never to give up his claims of sovereignty over Gascony . The lords agreed to serve Charles -- for pay -- in Auvergne , Toulouse , Berry , and Touraine , and to take an oath to him . The fouage was remitted for the next decade , unless the barons chose to reimpose it on themselves . A body of lawyers and barons was called to decide the sovereignty question and they unanimously affirmed that Charles was sovereign over Gascony .   Amanieu remained close to the French monarchy until his death in 1401 . His son , Charles I , became Constable of France .

neg: Granada War The Granada War ( Guerra de Granada ) was a series of military campaigns between 1482 and 1492 , during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs ( los Reyes Católicos ) Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon , against the Nasrid dynasty 's Emirate of Granada . It ended with the defeat of Granada and its annexation by Castile , ending all Islamic rule on the Iberian peninsula ( al-Andalus ) .   The ten-year war was not a continuous effort , but a series of seasonal campaigns launched in spring and broken off in winter . The Granadans were crippled by internal conflict and civil war , while the Christians were generally unified . The war also saw the effective use of artillery by the Christians to rapidly conquer towns that would otherwise have required a long siege . On January 2 , 1492 Muhammad XII of Granada ( King Boabdil ) surrendered the Emirate of Granada , the city of Granada , and the Alhambra palace to the Castilian forces .   The war was a joint project between Isabella 's Crown of Castile and Ferdinand 's Crown of Aragon . The bulk of the troops and funds for the war came from Castile , and Granada was annexed into Castile 's lands . The Crown of Aragon was less important : apart from the presence of King Ferdinand himself , Aragon provided naval collaboration , guns , and some financial loans . Aristocrats were offered the allure of new lands , while Ferdinand and Isabella centralized and consolidated power . The aftermath of the war saw the end of convivencia ( `` live and let live '' ) between religions In the Iberian peninsula : the Jews were forced to convert to Christianity or be exiled in 1492 , and by 1501 , all of Granada 's Muslims were obliged to either convert to Christianity , become slaves , or be exiled ; by 1526 this prohibition spread to the rest of Spain . `` New Christians '' ( conversos ) came to be accused of crypto-Islam and crypto-Judaism . Spain would go on to model its national aspirations as the guardian of Christianity and Catholicism . The fall of the Alhambra is still celebrated every year by the City Council of Granada , and the Granada War is considered in traditional Spanish historiography as the final war of the Reconquista . At the same time , and uniquely in the `` Reconquista '' , the Granada War itself is never called `` the reconquest of Granada '' '' , but rather `` the conquest of Granada '' . Granada had never been Christian before the `` reconquista '' .

He was the son of Jacques Boniface , seigneur de la Môle et de Colobrières , of Marseille .   La Môle was the Provençal lover of Marguerite de Valois , among others , during the early part of her marriage to Henry of Navarre , the future king of France .   He served François , Duke of Anjou and Alençon , Marguerite 's brother and youngest son of King Henry II of France and Catherine de ' Medici . He represented the Duc d'Alençon during marriage negotiations with Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1572 . In 1574 he was implicated in a Malcontent conspiracy against the reigning king , Charles IX , who was gravely ill , supported by the duke of Alençon . He was accused of making an attempt on the king 's life when a wax figurine pricked with needles , which he had obtained from the astrologer Cosimo Ruggieri , was found in his possession . After being subjected to questioning and torture , he was condemned to death . He was quartered and beheaded at the Place de Grève in Paris with his co-conspirator , Annibal de Coconnas . It has been rumoured that Marguerite embalmed la Môle 's head and kept it in a jewelled casket .

neg: Joan II of Navarre Joan II ( Jeanne 28 January 1312 -- 6 October 1349 ) was Queen of Navarre from 1328 until her death . She was the only surviving child of Louis X of France , King of France and Navarre , and Margaret of Burgundy . Joan 's paternity was dubious because her mother was involved in a scandal , but Louis X declared her his legitimate daughter before he died in 1316 . However , the French lords were opposed to the idea of a female monarch and elected Louis X 's brother , Philip V , king . The Navarrese noblemen also did homage to Philip . Joan 's maternal grandmother , Agnes of France , Duchess of Burgundy , and uncle , Odo IV of Burgundy , made attempts to secure the counties of Champagne and Brie ( which had been the patrimony of Louis X 's mother , Joan I of Navarre ) to Joan , but the French royal troops defeated her supporters . After Philip V married his daughter to Odo and granted him two counties as her dowry , Odo renounced Joan 's claim to Champagne and Brie in exchange for a compensation in March 1318 . Joan married Philip of Évreux , who was also a member of the French royal family .   Philip V was succeeded by his brother , Charles IV , in both France and Navarre in 1322 , but most Navarrese lords refused to swear loyalty to him . After Charles IV died in 1328 , the Navarrese expelled the French governor and declared Joan the rightful monarch of Navarre . In France , Philip of Valois was crowned king . He concluded an agreement with Joan and her husband , who renounced Joan 's claims to Champagne and Brie in exchange for three counties , while Philip acknowledged their right to Navarre . Joan and her husband were together crowned in Pamplona Cathedral on 5 March 1329 .   The royal couple closely cooperated during their joint reign , but Philip of Évreux was more active . However , they mostly lived in their French domains . Navarre was then administered by governors during their absence .

From the 14th century until the French Revolution , it was the headquarters of the French treasury , judicial system and the Parlement of Paris , an assembly of nobles . During the Revolution it served as a courthouse and prison , where Marie Antoinette and other prisoners were held and tried by the Revolutionary Tribunal . The palace was built and rebuilt over the course of six centuries ; the site is now largely occupied by the buildings of the 19th century Palais de Justice , but a few important vestiges remain ; the medieval lower hall of the Conciergerie , four towers along the Seine , and , mostly important , Sainte-Chapelle , the former chapel of the Palace , masterpiece of Gothic architecture . Both parts of the Conciergerie and Saint-Chapelle are classified as national historical monuments and can be visited , though most of the Palais de Justice is closed to the public .

Her Book and Treasure are two of her best-known works , mainly due to the study of these books in modern academia .

neg: Bloody Assizes The Bloody Assizes were a series of trials started at Winchester on 25 August 1685 in the aftermath of the Battle of Sedgemoor , which ended the Monmouth Rebellion in England .   There were five judges -- Sir William Montague ( Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer ) , Sir Robert Wright , Sir Francis Wythens , ( Justice of the King 's Bench ) , Sir Creswell Levinz ( Justice of the Common Pleas ) and Sir Henry Pollexfen , led by Lord Chief Justice George Jeffreys .   Over 1,000 rebels were in prison awaiting the trials , which started in Winchester on 26 August . The first notable trial was that of an elderly gentlewoman named Dame Alice Lyle . The jury reluctantly found her guilty , and , the law recognising no distinction between principals and accessories in treason , she was sentenced to be burned . This was commuted to beheading , with the sentence being carried out in Winchester market-place on 2 September 1685 .   From Winchester the court proceeded through the West Country to Salisbury , Dorchester and on to Taunton , before finishing up at Wells on 23 September . More than 1,400 prisoners were dealt with and although most were sentenced to death , fewer than 300 were hanged or hanged , drawn and quartered . The Taunton Assize took place in the Great Hall of Taunton Castle ( now the home of the Museum of Somerset ) . Of more than 500 prisoners brought before the court on the 18/19 September , 144 were hanged and their remains displayed around the county to ensure people understood the fate of those who rebelled against the king .   Some 800 -- 850 men were transported to the West Indies where they were worth more alive than dead as a source of cheap labour . ( The novel Captain Blood , and the later movies based on it , graphically portray this punishment . ) Others were imprisoned to await further trial , although many did not live long enough , succumbing to ` Gaol Fever ' ( typhus ) , which was rife in the unsanitary conditions common to most English gaols at that time . A woman named Elizabeth Gaunt had the gruesome distinction of being the last woman burnt alive in England for political crimes .   Jeffreys returned to London after the Assizes to report to King James , who rewarded him by making him Lord Chancellor ( at the age of only 40 ) , ` For the many eminent and faithful services to the Crown ' . Jeffreys became known as `` the hanging judge '' .   After the Glorious Revolution , Jeffreys was incarcerated in the Tower of London , where he died in 1689 . His death was probably due to his chronic medical history of kidney and bladder stones leading to an acute infection , kidney failure and possibly toxaemia .   Writing as recently as 1929 , Sir John C. Fox said : Even to the present day , the mothers of West Somerset control their unruly offspring by threatening to send for ` Judge Jeffreys ' .

neg: Margaret of Brabant Margaret of Brabant ( 4 October 1276 -- 14 December 1311 ) , was the daughter of John I , Duke of Brabant and Margaret of Flanders . She was the wife of Count Henry of Luxemburg and after his coronation in 1308 , she became Holy Roman Queen .

neg: Gatehouse Prison Gatehouse Prison was a prison in Westminster , built in 1370 as the gatehouse of Westminster Abbey and first used as a prison by the Abbot , a powerful churchman who held considerable power over the precincts and sanctuary . It was one of the prisons which supplied the Old Bailey with information on former prisoners ( such as their identity or prior criminal records ) for making indictments against criminals   While he was imprisoned in the Gatehouse for petitioning to have the Clergy Act 1640 annulled , Richard Lovelace wrote `` To Althea , from Prison '' , with its famous line  `` Stone walls do not a prison make , Nor iron bars a cage ''   The Gatehouse prison was torn down in 1776 . At its site , in front of the Abbey 's Great West Door , is the Westminster scholars ' Crimean War Memorial .

neg: Chartreuse du Liget Chartreuse of Liget was a monastery of hermit-monks of the Carthusians order in France , founded in 1178The records of the organization set the date to 1178 , but historians believe that the exact date would be 1188 or rather 1189 in Touraine by Henry II , Count of Anjou and King of England , in atonement for the murder of Thomas Becket ( Archbishop of Canterbury ) committed on his command .   The Liget is one of five Carthusian outposts founded before the 15th century in Western Europe . There are only a few remains of the medieval monastery ruined by the Hundred Years War and the French Wars of Religion . Rebuilt at the end of the Ancien Régime , it was largely demolished in the French Revolution .   Many relics of the monastery itself are part of the inventory of Monument historique under the designation `` listed monument '' or as a `` registered monument '' ( the grounds of a former monastery wall and corner towers , remains of the church and cloister roof joint ) ; In all cases , this level of protection was gained on March 13 , 1972 .   The Corroirie , the fortified gate , the chapel and the old prison were the subjects of an entry in the inventory of historical monuments from the 7 September 1926 .   The Chapel of St. John the Liget is a historic monument by the list of 1862 .

neg: Empress Elisabeth of Austria Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria ( 24 December 1837 -- 10 September 1898 ) was the wife of Emperor Franz Joseph I , and thus Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary , and many others ( see Grand title of the Empress of Austria ) .   Born into the royal Bavarian house of Wittelsbach , Elisabeth ( also called `` Sisi '' ) enjoyed an informal upbringing before marrying Emperor Franz Joseph I at the age of sixteen . The marriage thrust her into the much more formal Habsburg court life , for which she was ill-prepared and which she found uncongenial . Early in the marriage she was at odds with her mother-in-law , Archduchess Sophie , who took over the rearing of Elisabeth 's daughters , one of whom , Sophie , died in infancy . The birth of a male heir , Rudolf , improved her standing at court considerably , but her health suffered under the strain , and she would often visit Hungary for its more relaxed environment . She came to develop a deep kinship with Hungary , and helped to bring about the dual monarchy of Austria -- Hungary in 1867 .   The death of her only son Rudolf , and his mistress Mary Vetsera , in a murder -- suicide tragedy at his hunting lodge at Mayerling in 1889 was a blow from which Elisabeth never recovered . She withdrew from court duties and travelled widely , unaccompanied by her family . She was obsessively concerned with maintaining her youthful figure and beauty , which was already legendary during her life . While travelling in Geneva in 1898 , she was stabbed to death by an Italian anarchist named Luigi Lucheni . Elisabeth was the longest serving Empress of Austria , at 44 years .

neg: Claude, Duke of Aumale Claude of Lorraine , Duke of Aumale ( August 18 , 1526 , Joinville -- March 3 , 1573 , La Rochelle ) was the third son of Claude , Duke of Guise and Antoinette de Bourbon .

After their father died on 12 April 1550 , Claude was allowed to come to Scotland , with a passport from Edward VI dated 11 May , to see his sister Mary of Guise and wrote from Edinburgh on 18 May that he would view the strong places of the realm .   On August 1 , 1547 , he married Louise de Brézé ( c. 1518 -- January 1577 ) , Lady of Anet , the daughter of Louis de Brézé , seigneur d'Anet , and Diane de Poitiers . They had eleven children :  Henri ( October 21 , 1549 , Château de Saint-Germain -- August 1559 ) , Count of Valentinois  Catherine Romula ( November 8 , 1550 , Saint-Germain -- June 25 , 1606 ) , married on May 11 , 1569 Nicholas , Duke of Mercœur  Madeleine Diane ( b.

He was killed by a culverin shot while besieging La Rochelle .

neg: Margaret, Maid of Norway Margaret , Maid of Norway ( 9 April 1283 -- 26 September 1290 ) was a Norwegian princess who reigned as Queen of Scots from 1286 until her death .

neg: Maria of Amalfi Maria ( 985 -- c. 1040 ) was Duchess of Amalfi in co-regency with her sons twice : in 1028 -- 29 and in 1034 -- 39 . During the reigns of her sons , she appears to have held the actual power .   She was one of the two daughters of Pandulf II of Benevento , who was also Pandulf III of Capua . She married Sergius II of Amalfi around 26 April 1002 . Her sister Gaitelgrima married Guaimar III of Salerno , while her brothers , Landulf and Pandulf , became princes respectively of Benevento and Capua .   Maria had two sons , John and Manso . In 1028 , she and the younger son , Manso , seized the Amalfitan throne and expelled Sergius and John , who fled to Constantinople . This was probably done at the instigation and with the support of her brother Pandulf . In 1029 , John returned and deposed both Maria and Manso .   In April or May 1034 , John was again deposed by his mother and brother . This time it was certainly the result of Pandulf 's interference , for Maria 's daughter was married to Ranulf Drengot , the count of Aversa , in order to cement the alliance between Pandulf and the Normans . This daughter 's existence is recorded by Amatus of Montecassino : `` the Patrician of Amalfi 's daughter , who was Prince Pandulf 's niece , as the Patrician 's wife was Pandulf 's sister . '' The identity of this daughter had been confused , as has that of Ranulf 's first wife .   Maria took the title ducissa et patricissa : `` duchess and patricia '' . It is indicative of her power that Manso received no titles , not even from Byzantium , as his father and brother had before him . In 1038 , her brother was deposed in Capua and John was able to return to Amalfi . He deposed his brother and reconciled with Maria , who subsequently joined him in blinding Manso and exiling him to the fortress of Castelluccia on Li Galli . This act of cruelty outraged the Amalfitans , who deposed both of them and accepted the rule of Guaimar IV of Salerno .
