January 30, 1164: The Constitutions of Clarendon

King Henry II presided over the assemblies of most of the higher English clergy at Clarendon Palace on January 30, 1164. In sixteen constitutions, he sought less clerical independence and a weaker connection with Rome. He employed all his skills to induce their consent and was apparently successful with all but Becket. Finally, even Becket expressed his willingness to agree to the substance of the Constitutions of Clarendon, but he still refused to formally sign the documents. Henry summoned Becket to appear before a great council at Northampton Castle on 8 October 1164, to answer allegations of contempt of royal authority and malfeasance in the Chancellor's office. Convicted on the charges, Becket stormed out of the trial and fled to the Continent.[1][1]

January 30, 1540…16th-Century Trial Records Reveal Priest's Magic 'Superpowers'

Owen Jarus, LiveScience Contributor

Date: 10 September 2012 Time: 07:33 AM ET

The man who prosecuted Calderon was Fray Juan de Zumarraga (his statue is shown here), the archbishop of Mexico and Apostolic Inquisitor of New Spain. For reasons unknown he gave Calderon a light sentence, prohibiting him from saying mass for two years and exiling him back to Spain.

On January 30, 1540, in Mexico City, at a time when Spain was carving out an empire in the New World, an epic trial got under way.

An ordained Catholic priest named Pedro Ruiz Calderón was being prosecuted for practicing black magic. The priest actually bragged about the powers he had acquired according to records a researcher is working on publishing.

He claimed to be able to teleport between continents, make himself invisible, make women fall in love with him, predict the future, turn metals into gold, summon and exorcise demons and, most importantly, discover buried treasure.

"He really typifies all of the major types of learned magic, from summoning and conjuring demons, to exorcising demons to the powers of cloaking himself, making himself invisible," said John Chuchiak IV, a professor at Missouri State University who translates and publishes documents recording the opening of the trial in his new book "The Inquisition in New Spain 1536-1820"(John Hopkins University Press, 2012). [See Photos of the Trial Records]

"He could hypnotize people, too; it's one of the earliest, I think, descriptions of hypnotism, mesmerizing people."

At the start of the trial, Calderón was denounced in a speech by Miguel López de Legazpi, the Secretary of the Holy Office, who would later become a conquistador in the Philippines. In translation, the trial records state that "many persons have made it known before him [Legazpi] that the said Calderón knows of the Black Arts and that he learned them from others." The records go on to claim that Calderón is able to make himself invisible and can travel across great distances in a short amount of time. "It's just fascinating. The story just goes on and on," Chuchiak told LiveScience of the more than 100 pages of trial records.

Included in the trial records is a list of books Calderon was found with. The most puzzling material was a group of archival letters written in a special cipher that Calderon claimed to be able to read, no one else could.

The prosecutor Fray Juan de Zumárraga, the Franciscan archbishop of Mexico and apostolic inquisitor of New Spain, was known for his extreme punishments. "Other people he had their tongue split for very minor blasphemy," said Chuchiak. In the end, for reasons unknown, the bishop gave Calderón only a minor punishment — exile back to Spain and a prohibition from giving Catholic services for two years; Zumárraga may have wanted to get rid of him without publicly executing a priest. What happens to Calderón after he is exiled is not known.

Journey to hell

According to the trial records, Calderón claimed that he went to hell itself to acquire some of his abilities. At one point, the records say he was in Naples, working for a viceroy.

"He and three men went to explore a cave. He said it was 3,000 leagues below the surface of the Earth," said Chuchiak, summarizing the Spanish language account. Apparently, the men got stuck there, with most of Calderón's companions dying.

"He actually descended to the depths of hell, he said, and there he learned the secrets of the science of the black arts and alchemy." [Time Travel & Reincarnation: 10 Tales of Superhuman Abilities]

Calderón did not return empty-handed, Chuchiak said.

"He brought back books from hell. He said one of them had the signature of the devil, the prince of darkness."

When Calderón was arrested, his library was seized. None of the books contained the signature of the devil; however, some intriguing books were found, including Albertus Magnus' "Secrets,"a manual on how to conduct exorcisms, and a book by Dr. Arnaldo de Villanueva called the "Treasure of Treasures,"in which it describes techniques to find buried treasures. The library also held "archival letters written in some mysterious writing, a certain cipher that he claimed that he could read," Chuchiak said. "No one else could read it."

Why did he do it?

Why a priest like Calderón may have strayed so far off may be due to two rather earthly things — bragging rights and financial gain.

The list of books goes on. Among them was a work by Dr. Arnaldo de Villanueva called the "Treasure of Treasures." As its name suggests it was supposed to help people find buried treasures.

Chuchiak notes that Calderón loved to brag. After the trial was over, he caught pneumonia, was sent to the infirmary, and while there, "he was bragging about his ability to cloak himself and to win over almost any woman that he could," he said, again summarizing the Spanish account. In other instances, "he talks about all the women that he slept with. He talks about how he's able to get away with having mistresses and sneaking in an out of their bedrooms," his supposed invisibility powers helping with this.

There is also evidence that he profited from his abilities. Records indicate that, superpowers or not, he often found buried treasure.

According to the translated trial record, Gil González de Benavides, a conquistador, testified that "he had witnessed that the said Calderón had discovered the whereabouts of several baskets filled with golden ornaments and items that the natives had hidden from the Spaniards." "Apparently, he got lucky and did find treasures, that made his fame wider," said Chuchiak. "People came to him and asked him for help finding lost things, lost people, lost treasures," services for which Calderón was paid.

His superpowers were, of course, false, said Chuchiak; if Calderón could have made himself invisible or teleported between continents, he could have escaped his trial. That, Chuchiak added, is always the problem with people who claim they could perform black magic.

"They [the inquisitors] always challenge them to practice their black art. But they didn't do it, they couldn't do it," said Chuchiak. In the end, Calderón was just a man who had made great claims and was now facing trial. "Obviously he's just boasting," Chuchiak said.[4]

January 30, 1648: Spain and the United Netherlands sign The Treaty of Münster and Osnabrück marking the end of the eighty year long Dutch revolt against Spanish rule. The treaty guarantees the independence of the Protestant Netherlands from the rule of Catholic Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. It means that the Jewish community in the Netherlands, which includes many Sephardic refugees and Marranos, will be able to grow and flourish.[5]

January 30, 1649: In London, King Charles I is beheaded for treason on January 30, 1649.

Charles ascended to the English throne in 1625 following the death of his father, King James I. In the first year of his reign, Charles offended his Protestant subjects by marrying Henrietta Maria, a Catholic French princess. He later responded to political opposition to his rule by dissolving Parliament on several occasions and in 1629 decided to rule entirely without Parliament. In 1642, the bitter struggle between king and Parliament for supremacy led to the outbreak of the first English civil war.

The Parliamentarians were led by Oliver Cromwell, whose formidable Ironsides force won an important victory against the king's Royalist forces at Marston Moor in 1644 and at Naseby in 1645. As a leader of the New Model Army in the second English civil war, Cromwell helped repel the Royalist invasion of Scotland, and in 1646 Charles surrendered to a Scottish army. In 1648, Charles was forced to appear before a high court controlled by his enemies, where he was convicted of treason and sentenced to death. Early in the next year, he was beheaded.

The monarchy was abolished, and Cromwell assumed control of the new English Commonwealth. In 1658, Cromwell died and was succeeded by his eldest son, Richard, who was forced to flee to France in the next year with the restoration of the monarchy and the crowning of Charles II, the son of Charles I. Oliver Cromwell was posthumously convicted of treason, and his body was disinterred from its tomb in Westminster Abbey and hanged from the gallows at Tyburn.[6]

January 30, 1667: The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ceded Kiev, Smolensk, and left-bank Ukraine to the Tsardom of Russia in the Treaty of Andrusovo. According “to the treaty...arranged with John the Jews, who then lived in the towns and districts that became Russian territory, were permitted to remain "on the side of the Russian czar," under Russian rule, if they did not choose to remain under Polish rule. Jewish wives of Greek Orthodox Russians were permitted to remain with their husbands without being forced to change their religion.[7]

Wednesday, January 30, 1754

The Governor of New France, the Marquis Duquesne writes a letter to the commander of the French Fort Le Boeuf, thanking him for the receipt of Dinwiddie's summons for the French to leave the Ohio country. "...to inform me about the deputation from the Governor of Virginia, as well as for the care you took to send me the letter which he wrote to you. His claims on the Belle Riviere are sheer imagination, for it belongs to us incontestably. Moreover the King wishes it, and that is enough for us to go forward..." [8]

January 30, 1761. Mathias Celzar and Renamia ( ), of FrederickCounty, to George Cutlip, (pound sign) 40, conveyed to Mathias Celzar by Peter Carr and Mary, July 1, 1754, on Shanando, 120 acres.[9]

Thursday, January 30, 1777

That the Hessian Paymaster, now at Lancaster in Pennsylvania, sent from the Enemy with Money and Cloathes for the Hessian Prisoners of War, be permitted, after having executed his ordered to the Business at that place, to pass to Dumfries in Virginia, and return to the Enemy under the Conduct of an Officer in the Service of these States, who is to take especial care that his stay be no longer than absolutely necessary, and that he gain or communicate no political Intelligence.2[10]

January 30, 1780: On January 30th we sailed again. We were at latitude 31° 49’ north, and the course was N by W. Toward two o’clock we sounded eleven fathoms of water, and at six o’clock in the evening the small anchor was cast at nine fathoms. ![11]

January 30, 1781: On this day in 1781, Maryland becomes the 13th and final state to ratify the Articles of Confederation, almost three years after the official deadline given by Congress of March 10, 1778.

The Continental Congress drafted the Article of Confederation in a disjointed process that began in 1776. The same issues that would later dog the Constitutional Convention of 1787 befuddled the Congress during the drafting. Large states wanted votes to be proportional according to population, while small states wanted to continue with the status quo of one vote per state. Northern states wished to count the southern states' slave population when determining the ratio for how much funding each state would provide for Congressional activities, foremost the war. States without western land claims wanted those with claims to yield them to Congress.

In November 1777, Congress put the Articles before the states for ratification. As written, the Articles made the firm promise that "Each state retains its sovereignty." Western claims remained in the hands of the individual states and states' support to Congress was determined based only on their free population. Each state carried only one vote.

Virginia was the only state to ratify the Articles by the 1778 deadline. Most states wished to place conditions on ratification, which Congress refused to accept. Ten further states ratified during the summer of 1778, but small states with big neighbors and no land claims--Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland--still refused. Maryland held out the longest, only ratifying the Articles after Virginia relinquished its claims on land north of the Ohio River to Congress. The Articles finally took effect on March 1, 1781.

The problematic Articles of Confederation remained the law of the land for only eight years before the Constitutional Convention rejected them in favor of a new, more centralized form of federal government. They crafted the current U.S. Constitution, which took effect in 1789, giving the federal government greater authority over the states and creating a bicameral legislature.[12]

“FORT PITT, January 30, 1782.

“Orders. Captain Clark, commanding. At a garrison court-martial where­of Captain Springer was president, Richard Richards, a matross in Captain craig’s company of artillery, was tried for being out of the garrison after tattoo beating and abusing an inhabitant of the town of Pittsburgh;..no positive evidence appearing against him in support of the latter part of the charge, the court acquit [him) of it, but find him guilty of being out of the garrison after tattoo beating and sentence him to receive fifty lashes on his bare back by the drummer of the garrison. The commandant approves the sentence; and it [the punishment) is to take place this evening at retreat.[13]

January 30, 1835

The first assassination attempt on a president occurs when Richard Lawrence fires two shoots at ancestor (1st cousin 9 times removed) and President Andrew Jackson, who is unhurt.[15]

1835–1842 – The Second Seminole War between the U.S. Army and the St. Augustine Militia versus the Seminoles under Osceola.[16]

On January 30, 1835, what is believed to be the first attempt to kill a sitting President of the United States occurred just outside the United States Capitol Building. When Jackson was leaving the Capitol Building out of the East Portico after the funeral of South Carolina Representative Warren R. Davis, Richard Lawrence, an unemployed and deranged house-painter from England, either burst from a crowd or stepped out from hiding behind a column and aimed a pistol at Jackson which misfired. Lawrence then pulled out a second pistol which also misfired. It has since been postulated that the moisture from the humid weather of the day contributed to the double misfiring. [43] Lawrence was then restrained, with legend saying that Jackson attacked Lawrence with his cane, prompting his aides to restrain him. Others present, including David Crockett, restrained and disarmed Lawrence.

Richard Lawrence gave the doctors several reasons for the shooting. He had recently lost his job painting houses and somehow blamed Jackson. He claimed that with the President dead, "money would be more plenty"—a reference to Jackson’s struggle with the Bank of the United States—and that he "could not rise until the President fell." Finally, he informed his interrogators that he was actually a deposed English King—Richard III, specifically, dead since 1485—and that Jackson was merely his clerk. He was deemed insane, institutionalized, and never punished for his assassination attempt.[17] Lawrence was most likely a mentally unstable individual with no connections to Jackson's political rivals, but Jackson was convinced that Lawrence had been hired by his Whig Party opponents to assassinate him. At the time, Jackson's Democrats and the Whigs were locked in battle over Jackson's attempt to dismantle the Bank of the United States. His vice president, Martin Van Buren, was also wary and thereafter carried two loaded pistols with him when visiting the Senate.

Jackson's suspicions were never proven and Lawrence spent the rest of his life in a mental institution. A century later, Smithsonian Institute researchers conducted a study of Lawrence's derringers, during which both guns discharged properly on the test's first try. It was later determined that the odds of both guns misfiring during the assassination attempt were one in 125,000. [18]

His Excy. Z.B. Vance
Govr. Of N.C.

Sir

I am surprised to hear from one of your late letters[22] that you consider the Department to have interfered irregularly with the appointment of officers to some State Regiments from N. Carolina for the war-I am unconscious to what regiments or appointments you refer and certainly have had no intention of trenching on your perrogatives. One appointment alone that of Lieut Col Moore[23] to a Regiment to be composed, as at the time was directed, of a North Carolina battalion and of some conscripts then at Raleigh, was made by me, as from subsequent information I have, without sufficient care but it was done in supposed deference to your own wish on the representation you had desired the Regiment to be so formed and the particular officer appointed. If in this a mistake has been committed, it will be cheerfully corrected, but I should be pleased to learn first that you had not desired the appointment. You will also gratify me by informing me what regiments you regard as State Regiments to which your powers of appointment extend and on what ground the claim rests. I do not find or the Adj. G office any distinction of the kind made, nor can I learn that a claim of appointment has been appealed by you to any. I have the Honor to be with high consideration & esteem.


Respectfully Yrs

January 30th. 1865: Worked on our shanty to make it more comfortable.[25]

January 30, 1907

Article in the magazine "The Israelite" by January 31, 1907: "Frankfurt am Main, January 30 (1907)." A man of rare values, a Talmid Chacham (scholar), in the deepest sense of the word is been snatched us: Eliezer Roos, who is son of well known Secretary of the Pekidim in Amsterdam, Rabbi Jakob Roos - the memory of the righteous is the blessing - at the 11 Schwat blessed the temporal. Born in Amsterdam, was it the Heimgegangenen vergönnt to the feet of the greatest of his time. Rabbi Jakob Ettlingers and Rabbi Israel Hildesheimer for the true students of the wise to mature, and as a living example to the power of the Jewish teaching zeitigende wisdom and character size, Eliezer Roos has proved in a silent and yet richly blessed life. Twenty-eight years he has in a Bavarian rural town in Werneck, had taught in his community not only, but also in the circle of his colleagues a focus on lively intellectual striving, founder and promoter of the Bavarian State Teachers Association, the actual creator of the Jewish Hospital in Würzburg, but especially the father of a Jewish House, seemed to have taken the philanthropy in person in their place. The Unhappiest all unfortunate, the Jewish inmates of the State lunatic asylum in Werneck, know to tell. In the atmosphere of his sons and daughters have grown under the care of a spouse-worthy mother the Heimgegangenen, that understood it in life, to carry his father's ideals. To be near them, the departed moved eight years ago here to Frankfurt, where he ward loved and honored in the like-minded circle of the Israelite religious society as one of the best and most real Torageistes. Now he is been dismissed suddenly after a happy successful operation in terms that healed in his home to return. On his grave, Mr Rabbi Dr. Breuer in poignant words marked the importance of Heimgegangenen son of Torah, as a character, as one from a circle of auserwählten pious (?), which are unfortunately less and less with us. Mr dedicated words of worship and Thanksgiving Rector Falk called the Bavarian country teachers Association. " His soul is bound up in the Covenant of life."[26]

January 30, 1933

• Adolf Hitler assumes office as Chancellor of Germany at the invitation of President Von Hindenburg. On this day in 1933, President Paul von Hindenburg names Adolf Hitler, leader or fÜhrer of the National Socialist German Workers Party (or Nazi Party), as chancellor of Germany. Hitler is appointed chancellor of Germany after a Reichstag election in which the

•

• Nazis receive approximately 33 percent of the vote.[1][2] [27]

The year 1932 had seen Hitler's meteoric rise to prominence in Germany, spurred largely by the German people's frustration with dismal economic conditions and the still-festering wounds inflicted by defeat in the Great War and the harsh peace terms of the Versailles treaty. A charismatic speaker, Hitler channeled popular discontent with the post-war Weimar government into support for his fledgling Nazi party. In an election held in July 1932, the Nazis won 230 governmental seats; together with the Communists, the next largest party, they made up over half of the Reichstag.

Hindenburg, intimidated by Hitler's growing popularity and the thuggish nature of his cadre of supporters, the SA (or Brownshirts), initially refused to make him chancellor. Instead, he appointed General Kurt von Schleicher, who attempted to steal Hitler's thunder by negotiating with a dissident Nazi faction led by Gregor Strasser. At the next round of elections in November, the Nazis lost ground—but the Communists gained it, a paradoxical effect of Schleicher's efforts that made right-wing forces in Germany even more determined to get Hitler into power. In a series of complicated negotiations, ex-Chancellor Franz von Papen, backed by prominent German businessmen and the conservative German National People's Party (DNVP), convinced Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as chancellor, with the understanding that von Papen as vice-chancellor and other non-Nazis in key government positions would contain and temper Hitler's more brutal tendencies.

Hitler's emergence as chancellor on January 30, 1933, marked a crucial turning point for Germany and, ultimately, for the world. His plan, embraced by much of the German population, was to do away with politics and make Germany a powerful, unified one-party state. He began immediately, ordering a rapid expansion of the state police, the Gestapo, and putting Hermann Goering in charge of a new security force, composed entirely of Nazis and dedicated to stamping out whatever opposition to his party might arise. From that moment on, Nazi Germany was off and running, and there was little Hindenburg or von Papen—or anyone—could do to stop it.[28]

January 30, 1939: Hitler, in his anniversary speech in Berlin, talked about the event of war, "The result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe." Hitler also spoke in warm terms about its friendship with Poland.[29]



January 30, 1942: In a speech at the Sports Palace in Berlin, Hitler told of his confidence in victory and his hatred for the Jews. "The hour will come when the most evil universal enemy of all time will be finished, at least for a thousand years." By the spring, four labor camps would be converted to death camps for the purpose of extinguishing the Jews; joining Chelmno were Belzec, Treblinka, Sobibor, and Auschwitz.[30]



January 30, 1943 (24th of Shevat, 5703): In Letychiv, Ukraine, German Gestapo commences mass shootings of Jews from Letychiv Ghetto. 200 surviving Jews from Letychiv slave labor camp were ordered to undress and were shot with machine-gun into a ravine. Some 7,000 Jews were murdered in Letychiv.[31]

January 30, 1944: 1944: Seven hundred Jews are deported from Milan, Italy, to Auschwitz.[32]

January 30, 1945: Hitler gives his last ever public address; a radio address on the 12th anniversary of his coming to power.[33]



January 30, 1948: Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu extremist. While Gandhi was a figure revered by many, some Jews have their reservations about this proponent of civil disobedience and non-violence no matter what the threat. After Kristallnacht Gandhi wrote, "If the Jewish mind could be prepared for voluntary sacrifice, even the massacre I have imagined by Nazis could be turned into a day of thanksgiving that Jehovah had wrought deliverance of the race even at the hands of a tyrant...the German Jews will score a lasting victory over the German gentiles in the sense that they will have converted the latter to an appreciation of human dignity." Apparently Ghandi lacked any concept of the evil that was Hitler. But even after the war when the total horror was known, Gandhi said that the Holocaust was "the greatest crime of our time, but the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from the cliffs....It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany."[34]



January 30, 1978: A ministry of Education official sentenced to execution by firing squad for selling Iranian secrets to the USSR was granted a stay of execution[35]
