In leadership the Turks and the Western forces were evenly matched, Richard was a brave fighter and perhaps an abler soldier than Saladin, who was by far the better Statesman. The most notable military encounter of the struggle was the siege of Acre (1189-1191). The besieged garrison, assisted from outside by Saladin, heroically held out for two years against a combined land and sea force. After Acre fell, Richard made further gains but was stubbornly resisted by Saladin. The conflict ended in stalemate...

These chess pieces are replicas of the originals which were discovered on the Isle of Lewis off the West Coast of Scotland and which are now housed safely and securely in the British Museum of London and in Edinburgh.

In 1831 the sea carried away a sandbank on the Isle of Lewis uncovering a mysterious building...

Antique Finish means that the figure is polished first then undercoated in a black paint and that is skillfully rubbed off the highlights and left in the creases and depths so the miniature is brought into strong contrast. This is an excellant alternative to fully painted versions of the miniature. All pieces are designed by our internationally famous designer Chris Tubb.

The Civil War was the culmination of four decades of intense sectional conflict and reflected deep seated differences between the North and the South. Underscoring sectional differences, the labor force in the South included nearly four million enslaved blacks. Although the slaveholding planter class formed a small minority of the population, it dominated Southern politics and society. Slaves were the largest single investment in the South, and the fear of slave unrest ensured the loyalty of nonslaveholders...

At the Field of the Cloth of Gold, Henry suddenly challenged Francis to a wrestling match. Francis seized Henry in a lightning grip and threw him to the ground. Henry went white with embarrassment, but held back his temper. The ceremonies continued, but Henry could not forgive such a personal humiliation. Any chance for co-operative friendship dissipated with this incident. Indeed, Henry had already began negotiations with Francis's enemy (Holy Roman) Emperor Charles V. Within a month, Charles declared...

STORY The origins of the Legion and afterwards the regiment Irlandaise can be found amongst those survivors of the unsuccessful 1798 Irish uprising who had found their way to France. The legion was raised in 1803 initially as part of Bonaparte's invasion plans for England, and, at first, consisted largely of officers. The plan was that these officers would form the core of a national Irish army after the French had landed them on the Irish coast, which would form a second front against England while...

The aged King, however, was standing outside by the pipe of the stove, and was listening to what she said, and heard it. Then he came back again, and bade her come out of the stove. And royal garments were placed on her, and it was marvellous how beautiful she was! The aged King summoned his son, and revealed to him that he had got the false bride who was only a waiting-maid, but that the true one was standing there, as the sometime goose-girl. The young King rejoiced with all his heart when he saw...

But his support for Irish resistance to foreign rule grew as he established his supremacy over the other lords and chieftains in Ulster.

As the need of manpower for the Empire increased, the decision was made to expand the Irish Legion from a battalion sized unit into a regiment. Men were recruited first from Irish and Scottish Jacobite expatriates, whose families had been forced to flee following failed revolts. Recruiters for the Legion found that Irish Sailors who had been taken by press gangs, and forced into the British Navy before their capture, had no loyalty to King George. Other men for the Legion came from German and Polish...

At his trail, Emmet gained enormous respect. "I wish to procure for my country the gaurantee which Washington procured for America," he told the court. His last speech became a slogan of Irish nationalism. "Let no man write my epitaph... when my country takes her place among the nations of the earth, then and not 'till then, let my epitaph be written." His words were a source of inspiration for many, including Abraham Lincoln who first read them as a boy in his Kentucky cabin.
