July 1160: Henry's influence over the papal legates resulted from the schism that had occurred in the Church between Victor IV and Alexander III.[115] The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick, who preferred Victor, called a council from across Europe to consider the case; to support this process, local discussions were held in France, England and Normandy, while a probable joint council sponsored by Henry and Louis occurred at Beauvais in July 1160.[116] Contemporary chroniclers' accounts of the events and decisions at these gatherings are inconsistent, but it appears that after the July discussions the decision was taken to announce a joint preference for Alexander to become the pope, to be announced in due course by Henry.[117] Henry used his power as the joint spokesman for England and France to convince the legates that it would be wise to marry his son.[117][1]
July 1170: By 1169, however, Henry had decided to crown his son Young Henry as king of England. This required the acquiescence of Becket as the Archbishop of Canterbury, traditionally the churchman with the right to conduct the ceremony. Furthermore, the whole Becket matter had become an increasing international embarrassment to Henry. He began to take a more conciliatory tone with Becket but, when this failed, had Young Henry crowned anyway by the Archbishop of York. Becket was allowed to lay an interdict on England, forcing Henry back to negotiations; they finally came to terms in July 1170, and Becket returned to England in early December. Just when the dispute seemed resolved, however, Becket excommunicated another three supporters of Henry: the king was furious, and infamously announced "What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and promoted in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born clerk!"[255][2]
July 11, 1174: Amalric I who had been King of Jerusalem since 1162 passed away. During his reign most of the Jews were expelled from Jerusalem; a ban that would last until 1175.[3]
July 1187: Drawing troops from Syria as well as from Egypt, Saladin brought his combined forces to face the Latin army at Hattin near Tiberias in July. Saladin set a trap for the 20,000 crusaders; they marched into it and were either captured or killed. More traumatic was Saladin’s capture of the holiest relic in Christianity, what Crusaders believe are pieces of the cross in which Jesus died. Christians call this relic “the true cross.” Hattin is where Saladin shows his military genius. By any measure Hattin was a disaster for the West, and in rapid sequence most of the other important towns, Acre, Sidon, Jaffa, Caesarea, Ascalon, fell into Moslem hands. [4]
July 1187: Conrad, feeling that his service had been insufficiently rewarded, wary of Byzantine anti-Latin sentiment (his youngest brother Renier had been murdered in 1182) and of possible vengeance-seeking by Branas's family, Conrad set off for the Kingdom of Jerusalem in July 1187 aboard a Genoese merchant vessel. Some popular modern histories have claimed that he was fleeing vengeance after committing a private murder: this is due to a failure to recognise Branas's name, garbled into "Lyvernas" in the Old French Continuation of William of Tyre (sometimes known as The Chronicle of Ernoul), and Roger of Howden's abridgement of his own Gesta regis Henrici Secundi (formerly attributed to Benedict of Peterborough). Roger had initially referred to Conrad "having slain a prominent nobleman in a rebellion" — meaning Branas; in his Chronica, he condensed this to "having committed homicide", omitting the context.[5]
July 1191: The Order of the Temple was intregral to the Third Crusade led by the King of England, Richard the Lionheart and Phillip II of France. The remnants of the Crusader state in the Holy Land on the arrival of the Third Crusade existed around the three remaining cities, Antioch, Tripoli, and Tyre, all supported by sea by Sicili. Richard joined Philip II and the resident crusaders already besieging the port of Acre which they captured in July 1191.[6]
As Guy was a vassal of Richard I of England for his lands in Poitou, Richard sup in this political struggle, while Conrad was supported by his cousin Leopold V of Austria and cousin once-removed Philip II of France. Conrad acted as chief negotiator in the surrender of Acre, and raised the kings' banners in the city. Afterwards, the parties attempted to come to an agreement. Guy was confirmed as king of Jerusalem, and Conrad was made his heir. Conrad would retain the cities of Tyre, Beirut, and Sidon, and his heirs would inherit Jerusalem on Guy's death. In July 1191 Conrad's kinsman, King Philip, decided to return to France, but before he left he turned over half the treasure plundered from Acre to Conrad, along with all his prominent Muslim hostages. King Richard asked Conrad to hand over the hostages, but Conrad refused as long as he could. After he finally relented (since Richard was now leader of the Crusade), Richard had all the hostages killed. Conrad did not join Richard on campaign to the south, preferring to remain with his wife Isabella in Tyre — believing his life to be in danger. It was probably around this time that Conrad's father died.[7]
July 1192: Richard decides to go back to England. He takes his remaining loyal soldiers along the coast to the port of Acre. He planned to take them back to England to settle the rebellion started by his brother John. His crusade had ended in crippling disappointment.[8]
July 11, 1276: Pope Gregory X dies, July 11 Pope Adrian V (Ottobuono Fieschi) appointed, dies August 18. [9]
July 11, 1346: Death of John of Luxembourg as king of Bohemia, Louis IV of Wittelsbach loses imperial title to Charles of Luxembourg. [10] Charles IV of Luxembourg is elected emperor of the Holy Roman Empire which included the Bohemian city of Prague. According to the descendant of Moses ben Israel Naphtaly Hirsch Porges, “The long reign of Emperor Charles IV brought the Prague Jews new privileges and relative calm even though the Luxembourg rulers - the reigning local dynasty - treated Jewish property as though it were their own. They put it in pawn, sold it, or used it as backing for guarantees. But the king ensured protection and, among others, offered a chance for them to settle inside the walls of the arising New Town. A sign of the status of the Jewish community is a banner that has survived, given to the Jews of Prague by Charles IV in 1375.From that year on the Jews would, over the centuries, come to the gates of the ghetto to welcome the kings of Bohemia in Prague.”[11]
July 11, 1533
Pope Clement retaliated by excommunicating Henry on July 11, 1533, declaring his new marriage3 null and void, and its future offspring illegitimate.[12]
On July 11th, l616, Sir Lauchlan appears again before the council and receives a license to shoot game within a mile of his own house. Fifteen days later in the same year, the six representative Islanders, including the Laird of MacKinnon, made their appearance before the Privy Council. This formality had been interrupted by the rebellion. They were now required to bind themselves as sureties for each other:—
I. That they should appear before the council every year on July 10.
II. That they should each exhibit on these occasions a certain number of their principal kinsmen. MacKinnon was to produce one. He chose either John or Ewin, his uncle.
III. That they were only to maintain a certain proportion of gentlemen in their household, MacKinnon being limited to three.
IV. To free the country of “sorners.”
V. None but the (chiefs to wear any weapon whatever.
VI. Each chief to reside at a fixed place anl to culltivate there-— MacKinnon at Kilmorie.
VII. At next Martinmas to let the remainder of their lands at a fixed rate.
VIII. No one chief to keep more than one birling or galley of sixteen or eighteen oars, and not to oppress the country people in their voyages through the isles.
IX. To send all their children above nine years of age to school in the Lowlands.
X. The chiefs not to use more than a certain proportion of wine—MacKinnon one ton per annum; their tenants and vassals to buy and drink none.
The penalty for infraction of any of these rules was 5000 merks. MacKinnon became caution for MacLeod and Coll, and at the same time named the following members of his clan as being disobedient and rebellious, and for whom he should not answer: viz., Donald reagh M'Ve Teorligh, Eane McTarliche Ve Coneill, Angus McConeill Ve Neill, Donald McNeill gurme, and John Roy McTarliglle. On August 24th, 1616, Sir Lauchlan r-McKynnon of Strathordell, Knight, Sir Rorie MacLeod of Dunvegan, Donald Captain of the Clan Ranald, and Lauchlan MacLean of Coll entered into a mutual bond of friendship at Glasgow. [13]
AD 1617 - John Traske, an early “Seventh Day Man,” is arrested in London.[14]
On July 11, 1713, Governor Dudley and various dignitaries from New Hampshire and Massachusetts Bay (which then extended into Maine) met with delegates from Abenaki tribes, including the Amasacontee, Maliseet, Norridgewock, Pennacook, Penobscot and Sokoki. The agreement was read aloud by sworn interpreters to the sachems, eight of whom on July 13 signed with totemic pictographs. Others would do so the following year after similar interpretation at another convention. "Being sensible of our great offense and folly," the Indians agreed to:
•acknowledge themselves submissive, obedient subjects of Queen Anne
•cease all acts of hostility towards subjects of Great Britain and their estates
•allow English settlers to return to their former settlements without molestation or claims by the Indians
•trade only at English trading posts established, managed and regulated with governmental approval
•not come near English plantations or settlements below the Saco River, "to prevent mischiefs and inconveniences"
•address all grievances in an English court, rather than in "private revenge"
•confess that they had broken peace agreements made in 1693, 1699, 1702 and 1703, and now ask for forgiveness and mercy
•not make any "perfidious treaty or correspondence" [with the French] against the English; should any exist, to reveal it "seasonally"
•cast themselves upon Her Majesty for mercy and pardon for past rebellions, hostilities and violations of their promises

At the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth were also the St John River Maliseet [Wolastoqiyik], Mi'kmaw (Mi'kmaq), and Abenaki [Aln8bak] nations of Acadia. According to a Mi'kmaw History Post-Contact timeline, the treaty ensured they were were not to be molested in their lands and were "to enjoy free liberty for hunting, fishing, fowling, and all other lawful liberties and privileges". The Wabanaki regarded the Treaty of Portsmouth as the reaffirmation of the Treaty of 1699 at Mare's Point, limiting British settlements to the west of the Kennebec River, while the British also would keep Port Royal (Annapolis Royal). The Mi'kmaq and Maliseet stated that Acadia [Lnue'gati] belonged to them, and that the French King could not give it to the English King, since he did not own it. The British made efforts to win over the Wabanaki by using superior goods and ceremonial presents for the fur trade. They also tried to have the Wabanaki expel French soldiers and priests from their villages, but without much success. The Mi'kmaq did not sign the Treaty of Portsmouth. The British saw the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht and Treaty of Portsmouth as an opportunity to regain the settlements of Saco, Scarborough, and Falmouth, and a new chance to exploit the Wabanaki territories between the Kennebec and St Croix rivers, in violation of the treaty.[2]
Aftermath
Despite their promise, the English failed to establish official trading posts selling cheap goods at honest prices to the Indians. Tribes were forced to continue exchanging their furs with private traders, who were notorious for cheating them. In addition, Indians regarded as threats the British blockhouses being built on their lands. Their discontent was instigated by Sebastien Rale and other French Jesuit priests embedded with the tribes and promoting New France interests. In defiance of the Treaty of Portsmouth, the Abenakis resumed raids on the encroaching English settlements. Consequently, on July 25, 1722, Governor Samuel Shute declared war against the Eastern Indians in what would be called Father Rale's War. Boundary struggles between New France and New England would continue until the Treaty of Paris in 1763.[15]
July 11, 1740: Czarina Anne ordered the Jews expelled from Little Russia. Little Russia is another term for an area that includes the Ukraine.[16]
July 11, 1782: A number of people inform me that Colonel Crawford ought to be
considered as a Continental officer, and are of the opinion that retaliation
should take place." (Irvine to Washington, July 11, 1782.)
July 11, 1782: Gen. Irvine informed Washington that Knight had "demolished" his Indian
keeper and returned to Fort Pitt. Dr. Knight remained at the fort as sur-
geon of the 7th Virginia regiment until the close of the war. October 14,
1784, he married Polly Stephenson, daughter of Col. Richard Stephenson,
Col. Crawford's half brother; subsequently moved to Shelbyville, Ky.,
where he died March 12, 1838, the father of ten children. His wife died
July 31, 1839. Dr. Knight drew from our government a pension. After his
death his children applied for whatever was due under the act of 1832.
Knight was faithful and true, a noble character.

FORT PITT, July 11,1782.
Doctor Knight, a Surgeon I sent with Col. Crawford) returned the 4th instant to this place. He brings an account of the melancholy fate of poor Crawford. The day after the main body retreated, the Colonel, Doctor, & nine others were overtaken about thirty miles from the field of action by a body of Indians to whom they surrendered, were taken back to Sandusky, where they all, except the Doctor, were put to death; the unfortunate Colonel in particular was burned and tortured in every manner they could invent.
The Doctor, after being a spectator of this distressing scene, was sent to the Shawanese Town under guard of one Indian, where he was told he would share the same fate next day; but fortunately found an opportunity of demolishing the fellow & making his escape. The Doctor adds, that a certain Simon Girty, who was formerly in our service, & deserted with McKee, is now said to have a commission in the British service, was present at torturing Col. Crawford; & that he, the Doctor, was informed by an Indian that a British Captain commands at Sandusky, that he believes he was present also, but is not certain; but says he saw a person there who was dressed and appeared like a British officer. He also says the Colonel begged of Girty to shoot him, but he paid no regard to the request.
A certain Shlover has also come in yesterday who was under sentence at the Shawanese Town. He says a Mr. Wm Harrison, son-in-law to Col. Crawford was quartered and burned. Both he and the Doctor say they were assured by sundry Indians whom they formerly knew, that not a single soul should in future escape torture, and gave as a reason for this conduct the Moravian affair.
A number of people inform me, that Col. Crawford ought to be considered as a Continental officer, and are of opinion retaliation should take place; these, however, are such facts as I can get: Doctor Knight is a man of undoubted veracity. [19]
This account has struck the people of this country with a strange mixture of fear and resentment; their solicitations for making another excursion are increasing daily, and they are actually beginning to prepare for it.
I have the honor to be, &c. &c.,

July 11, 1782
The procedure provided by
Congress for him to become a legal citizen of the United States is well
documented. Congress declared on 11 July 1782 (July 11) that any German prisoner
of war who desired to stay in the States could (1) take the Oath Of Allegiance to the United States and (2) make cash payment of $80 (~30)to the Finance Minister (purportedly a reimbursement for the prisoner’s subsistence which the English King had refused to provide) and thereby obtain from the Board Of War a
certificate stating he was (1) discharged from confinement, (2) was no
longer considered a prisoner of war, and (3) was entitled to the rights
and privileges of the free citizens of the United States.{44} Of course, neither British nor German officials concurred with such pronouncements
by Congress. They would label a POW going this route a deserter. The
phrase “purchase of redemption” in receipts issued upon payment of the
$80 led to the certificates obtained from the Board of War being called
“redemption certificates.” If the soldier, himself, had insufficient
funds to purchase his redemption, sometimes he would become indentured
(a maximum of three years) to another person who furnished the money. [24]

July 11, 1943: it was Brunner, not Rothke, who telexed Eichmann to ask his agreement for the departure of the convoy. The deportation list took on the appearance that would be maintained until the last convoys: neither place of birth nor nationality was recorded. Brunner knew what Auschwitz was. And while Rothke and Dannecker knew, too, Brunner was more cynical and wished to avoid extra work. So for him it was sufficient to indicate only the i9ndispensable items, first name, family name, date of birth, and profession k that would trick the deportees into believing that they were going to work.
The convoy carried 522 males, 430 females, and 18 undetermined. Of the total, 126 were under 18. The order is more or less alphabetical, but nationality, of course, is not indicated. However, we were able to establish the place of birth for most of the deportees by comparing the list with those obtained in the Ministry for War Veterans.
Henri Bulawko, who was later to be president of the Organization of Jewish Deportees of France, was part of thei convoy. This passage is from his book, Les Jeux la Mort et de L’Espoir (The Games of Death and Hope; pp. 51-3.):L
“Two nights and three days in the sealed freight cars. We were loaded 60 people where 30 would have had difficulty fitting… The train stopped. The door opened suddenly and all the questions were answered, an unexpected answer, unimaginable, inhuman. Brutally the door is pushed open and nightmarish moments followed. Strange people, in striped clothes, jump on the train, like gnomes who have escaped from hell. Behind them, the SS, rifles pointing at us and crying: ‘Los, raus, alles raus, Los’ (Fast, outside, everyone outside, fast).”
Sim Kessel, in Pendu a Auschwitz (Hanged in Auschwitz), also describes this arrival in Auschwitz (p.66):
“Schneller, Schneller.” Faster! How can we go faster? We are falling all over one another, caught in this unexpected ferocity. The women cry under the blows trying to protect their children.”
Upon their arrival, 369 men were selected and assigned numbers 130466 through 130834; 191 women were selected and given numbers 50204 through 50394. The rest of the convoy was immediately gassed.
There were 52 survivors in 1945, 22 of them women.[34]
On Convoy 57 was Wolf Gotliber, born April 14, 1907 in Mlatta. [35]

•LONG BEACH, Calif. — The Maya, best known these days for the doomsday they never foretold, may have accurately predicted astronomical phenomena centuries ahead of time, scientists find.
•A new book, "Astronomy in the Maya Codices" (American Philosophical Society, 2011), which was awarded the Osterbrock Book Prize for historical astronomy here at the American Astronomical Society conference Monday (Jan. 7), details a series of impressive observations made by Mayan astronomers pre-16th century.
•Anthropologist husband-wife team, Harvey and Victoria Bricker have devoted their lives to understanding the pre-Columbian Maya and how they understood the world around them. The Brickers conducted most of their work by translating complex hieroglyphics to see what Mayan scribes felt was most important to record on parchment.
•By decoding early Mayan hieroglyphics from four different codices housed in Madrid, Paris, Mexico and Dresden, the Brickers tracked how the night sky would have looked to the Mayans when they were alive.
•"We're dealing with real datahttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png," Harvey Bricker said. "They're not just squiggles."
•The Brickers translated the dates cited in the Mayan calendar to correspond with our calendar and then used modern knowledgehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png of planetary orbits and cycles to line up the Maya's data with ours. It was surprisingly accurate. [Image Gallery: Amazing Mayan Calendar Carvings]
•In fact, the Brickers found the astronomical calendar dated to the 11th or 12th century accurately predicted a solar eclipse to within a day in 1991, centuries after the Mayan civilization had ended. The 1991 eclipse occurred on July 11.

•The team also found that the Maya had a fair number of superstitions surrounding observable heavenly bodies in the night sky. On the friendly side, they had the sun and the moon — a god and goddess, respectively — whose cycles were easy to map, predict and keep track of. In the not-so-friendly camp were Venus and Mars. The motions of those two planets usually signaled doom and destruction depending upon their place in the sky, the Brickers found.
•The manuscripts warned that if Venus shines upon children, old men and women or healthy young men at certain points in its orbit, then harm would come to them. Because the Maya wanted to make sure these potentially dangerous moments didn't interfere with the lives of their people, Harvey Bricker said, they kept extremely detailed records of where Venus and other planets appeared in the night sky on certain days.
•Mars — an animalistic god — signified gloomy days to come for everybody.
•"There was thought to be a relationship, and not a happy one, between phenomena associated with Mars and agriculture," Harvey Bricker said.

[17] William Irvine was born in Ireland of Scotch parents. He was a student of medicine and surgery at Trinity College, Dublin, and served as a surgeon on a British warship. At the close of the Seven Years’ War he came to America and settled at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. During January, 1776, he was appointed to raise and command the Sixth Pennsylvania Regiment. In an engagement against the British at Three Rivers, Canada, he was taken prisoner and was not exchanged until 1773. The following year he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general commanding the Second Pennsylvania Brigade, and won honors at the Battle of Monmouth. In September, 1781, he was appointed recruiting officer, and on the recommendation of Washington he was given command at Pittsburgh. From 1786 to 1788, he was a member of Congress and again from 1793 to 1795. He commanded the Pennsylvania troops in the Whiskey Rebellion.

[19] John Slover was, as already noticed, one of the guides to the expedition against Sandusky. He was captured by the savages, but succeded in making his escape. His narrative was soon published, along with that of Dr. Knight’s. Both are to be found in a pamphlet entitled, “Narrative of a late Expedition against the Indians; with an Account of the Barbarous Execution of Col. Crawford; and the Wonderful Escape of Dr. Knight ançl John Slover, from Captivity, in 1782. Philadelphia: Printed by Francis Bailey, in Market street. M,DCC,LXXIII.” An X, in the date, is accidentally oniitted. Copies of the original edition of this work are exceedingly rare. Subsequent but imperfect editions have been published from time to time. A small one was printed in Nashville, in 1843. and there is a Cincinnati reprint of this, ia 1867. The narratives have also been printed, with more or less variations from the original, in several border histories.
In the original pamphlet is the following address by the publisher — Francis Bailey, printer of the Freemen’s Journal, in Philadelphia:
“To the Public: The two following narratives [Knight’s and Slover’s] were transmitted for publication, in September last [1782]; but shortly afterward the letters from Sir Guy Carlton, to his excellency, General Washington, informing that the savages had received orders to desist from their incursions, gave reason to hope that there would be an end to their barbarities. For this reason, it was not thought necessary to hold up to view what they had heretofore done. But as they still continue their murders on our frontier, these narratives may be se’rviceable to induce our government to take some effectual steps to chastise and suppress them; as from hence, they will see that the nature of an~Indian is fierce and cruel, and that an extirparation of them would be useful to the world, and honorable to those who can effect it.”
Immediately following the address is this letter:
“ME. BAILEY: Enclosed are two narratives, one of Dr. Knight, who acted as surgeon in the expedition under Col. Crawford, the other of John Siover. That of Dr. Knight was written by himself at my request; that of Slover was taken by myself from his mouth as be related it. This man, from his childhood, lived amongst the Indians; though perfectly sensible and intelligent, yet he can not write. The character of Dr. Knight is well known to be that of a good man, of strict veracity, of a calm and deliberate mind, and using no exaggeration in his account of any matter. As a testimony in favor of the veracity of Slover, I thought proper to procure a certiflcattrom the clergyman to whose church he belongs, and which I give below.
“These narratives you will please publish in your useful paper or in any other way you may judge proper. I conceive the publication of them may answer a good end, in showing America what have been the sufferings of some of her citizens by the hands of the Indian allies of Britain. To these narratives, I have subjoined some observations which yon may publish or omit, as it may he convenient.
“H. H. Brackenridge.
“Pittsburgh, August 3, 1782.
“(Certificate of the Clergyman.)
‘I do hereby certify that John Slover has been for many years a regular member of the church unde y care, and is worthy of the highest credit. William Reno “(An Episcopalian.)”
Brackenridge, to whom the world is indebted for the narratives of Knight and Slover, was an eminent lawyer and author of Pittsburgh, from 1781 until his death in 1816. The last fifteen years of his life, he was one of the judges of the supreme court of Pennsylvani~. He was noted for his talents, learning, and eccentricity. He was the author of “Modern Chivalry,” “Incidents of the Whisky Insurrection,” and other works. The “observations” he speaks of, in his letter to Mr. Bailey, were printed by the latter, with the narratives of Knight and Slover. They are, as the writer quaintly calls them, “observations with regard to the animals, vulgarly styled Indians.” They contain, however, nothing in relation to the expedition against Sandusky.
The narrative of Knight, up to the commencement of the retreat of the army, contains little that is not suppliable from other sources; after that event, however, his account of what he saw and suffered, is exceedingly valuable and complete. He throws no light, of course, upon the retreat of the army; neither does Slover. The narrative of the latter is not as well connected as that of the former; yet, of the general truthfulness of his story, there can be no question. Both narratives, it will be noticed, were written immediately after the return of these men from captivity. There was no printing done in Pittsburgh until the establishment and issuing of the Pittsburgh Gazette, in July, 1786; hence, the publication of the pamphlet in Philadelphia.
All the statements have been examined that could be found, made by Knight and Slover after their return, not contained in their printed narratives. Most of these are either in manuscript or in the Philadelphia newspapers of 1782, furnished by western correspondents. From these sources a few additional facts can be obtained, all corroborative, however, of their original statements. Subsequent relations of deserters and of the savages themsleves fully substantiate their authenticity and correctness. “After a treaty or temporary peace had taken place, I saw traders who had been with the Indians at Sandueky and had the same account from the Indians themselves which Knight gave of his escape.”— Brackenridge, in Loudon’s Indian Wars, Vol. 1, pp. VIII, IX.
