July 12, 1174: In the midst of the Revolt of 1173–1174, Henry humbled himself with public penance at Becket's tomb as well as at the church of St. Dunstan's, which became one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in England.

Becket's assassins fled north to Knaresborough Castle, which was held by Hugh de Morville, where they remained for about a year. De Morville held property in Cumbria and this may also have provided a convenient bolt-hole, as the men prepared for a longer stay in the separate kingdom of Scotland.[1]



July 12, 1191: The city of Acre falls to the Crusader’s. Richard grows impatient when Saladin is slow to negotiate the terms of surrender. The English King orders Muslim prisoners led out of the city. One by one they are killed, 2700 men in all. [2]

July 1277: Support for Llywelyn was weak among his own countrymen.[88] In July 1277 Edward invaded with a force of 15,500—of whom 9,000 were Welshmen.[89] The campaign never came to a major battle, and Llywelyn soon realised he had no choice but to surrender.[89] By the Treaty of Aberconwy in November 1277, he was left only with the land of Gwynedd, though he was allowed to retain the title of Prince of Wales.[90][3]

July 12, 1290: In 1290 Edward I expelled all Jews from England.[4] This lasted 350 years. Many resettled to Holland.[5] Edward gets reasonably high marks for setting up the "Model Parliament." American moviegoers know him as "Longshanks" the King who was the villain in the film "Braveheart." The banishment of the Jews from the kingdom was part of slow decline engineered by the English king for a variety of reasons. Before the final edict he found one more way to extract money from his Jewish subjects. In 1287, he arrested several prominent Jewish leaders and demanded the community produce a 12,000-pound ransom for their freedom. The date for the actual order of expulsion is given by some as July 12 and by others as July 18. Regardless, Edward gave the Jews three months to leave. After All-Saints Day, any Jew found in the realm was subject to death. The Jews would not officially return to England until 17th century and the era of Cromwell.[6]

1290 Jews expelled from Wales, resettled to France and Holland[7]

1290: The Mamuks assembled 60,000 cavalry, 160,000 infantry, a hundred manganel siege engines around the Christian capital of Acre. The Temple compound was the last building to fall and the Grand Master and all the remaining Templars were killed in the fighting. [8]

Summer 1290: A century after Richard and Saladin make peace, Acre remains the last major Christian foothold in the Holy land. The dialogue breaks down as Muslim and Christian leaders renew their power struggle. European Kings enlist 12,000 newly recruited Crusaders, mostly Italians who arrive in the summer of 1290. By the end of August, Acre is shattered. The Crusaders go on a rampage. They consider anyone wearing a beard a Muslim and they kill them on sight. News of the massacre soon reaches the rulers of the Holy land, a collection of Muslim leaders from Egypt known as Mamaluks. [9]

A Mamaluk is man who is of slave origin, purchased as a child or as an adolescent and then is trained to a very high degree as a professional soldier. He is also educated. When he is fully trained he is released.

A Mamaluk army gathers outside Acre’s walls. Ultimately, some 200,000 warriors surround the city. [10]

“He pitched his tents, set up sixty machines, and without any respite, assailed the city with fire, stones, and arrows.”[11]

The Knight’s Templar’s run away during the night through a secret tunnel leading to the Mediteranian. [12]

July 12, 1472: Following a decisive Yorkist victory over the Lancastrians at the Battle of Tewkesbury, Richard III married Anne Neville, the younger daughter of the Earl of Warwick, on July 12, 1472. Anne's first husband was Edward of Westminster, son of Henry VI, who died at Tewkesbury. Richard and Anne had first met when he was taken into her father’s household at Middleham Castle on the death of his own father in 1460.[13]



July 12, 1536: Desiderius Erasmus, the Dutch writer and philosopher passed away. According to Elliot Rosenberg, Erasmus’ relations with the Jews presented a mixed bag. Unlike Thomas More, “Erasmus spoke out in defense of the Jews and Judaism. ‘If it is Christian to hate the Jews, all of us are only too Christians.’ On the other hand he also write “Jews are very numerous in Italy; in Spain there are hardly any…I am afraid that when the occasion arises, that pest, formerly suppressed, will raise its head again. Finally, Erasmus only provided lukewarm support when Johann Reuchlin took on “dogmatic Talmud-burners in Central Europe.”[14]



July 12, 1555: In his Bull Cum Nimis Absurdum, Pope Paul IV renewed all previous anti-Jewish legislation and installed a ghetto in Rome. Jews were forced to wear a given cap and forbidden to own real estate or practice medicine on Christians. Communities weren't allowed to have more than one synagogue and Jews in all the Papal States were forced to lock themselves into the confines of the ghettos each night.[15]



July 12, 1588: The Spanish Armada, a great fleet of ships, set sail for the channel, planning to ferry a Spanish invasion force under the Duke of Parma to the coast of southeast England from the Netherlands.[16]



July 12, 1606

The Mackinnons and Macdonalds were of common descent, and had as well, strong ties of friendship. There exists an agreement, dated 12 July, 1606, between Lauchlan Mackinnon, of Strathordell, and Finlay Macnab, of Bowaine, “Being of one surname and lineage, notwithstanding they lived aprt”.



July 12, 1606

Another of these bonds of “man-rent" comes next in historical order. It was entered into between Lachlan MacKinnon of Strathardill and Finlay MacNab of Bowaine, dated at Uir, July 12, 1606, and signed before John McDonnell reached MacKinnon, Ewan MacKinnon and "uthers," thus "Lauchland, mise" (i.e., myself), " MacFingon." It must be conjectured that the MacNab himself could not write, and that his mark has not been noticed in the document. Five MacNabs are named as witnesses. It narrates, that " happening to foregadder togadder with certain of the said Finlay's friends in their rooms, in the Laird of Glenurchay's country, and the said Lachlall and Finqay having come of one house, and being of one surname and lineage; notwithstanding the said Lachlan and Finlay this long time bygone oversaw their awn duties till uders in the respect of the long distance and betwixt their dwelling-places, quhairfore baith the saids now and in all time coming are content to be bound and obleisit, with consent of their kyn and friends, to do all sted, pleasure, assistance, and service that lies in them ilk ane to uthers: the said Finlay acknowledging the said Lachlan as ane kynd chieff, and of ane house: and like the said Lachlan to acknowledge the said Finqay MacNab, his friend, as his special kynsman and friend.”[17]



July 12, 1773: Captain the Hon. William Leslie of the Seventeenth regiment was a son of the Scotch Earl of Levin, and a nephew of General

Alexander Leslie, who had been posted at Maidenhead. He was

a gallant officer, twenty-six years of age and greatly beloved by

his men. He entered the English army as an ensign of the

Forty-second regiment May 3, 1770, was made a lieutenant of

the Seventeenth regiment July 12, 1773, and captain, February

26, 1776. He was mortally wounded in the fight, and, when dis-

covered by General Washington as the latter passed over the

field after the battle, was properly cared for by Dr. Benjamin Rush

of Philadelphia, who was with Washington that day. Dr. Rush

attended to the wants of his wounded foe with more than ordi-

nary interest, in return, as he told General Washington, for some

obligation which he owed to Captain Leslie's father for many

kindnesses received at his hands when a student at the univer-

sity in Edinburgh. Captain Leslie was carried off with the army

on their march northward, and received every possible attention,

but he died the next morning near Pluckemin, and on the follow-

ing day, January 5, was interred with military honors in the vil-

lage cemetery at Pluckemin. General Leslie, when he heard of

the respect shown his nephew by the American officers, was

greatly affected, and, when the opportunity occurred, sent his

acknowledgments to General Washington by Lieutenant-Colonel

Fitzgerald of Washington's staff, who, some days after the bat-

tle of Princeton, entered the British lines under flag of truce.

Dr. Rush further showed his regard for the father of the young

officer by erecting a monument to Captain Leslie's memory in the old graveyard at Pluckemin. The following is the inscription

thereon : —

July 12, 1774: The letter was written on a piece of birch bark and with ink made from gunpowder. It had been prepared before Logan left Ohio with his scalping party; and was written, at his dictation, by a white man named William Robinson, who was captured on the Monongahela River, July 12th, carried to the Indians towns, saved from the stake by Logan, and adopted into an Indian family. Before he sent the letter to Captain Cresap, Colonel Preston made a copy on the back of the letter Major Campbell had written him when he forwarded the Indian chief's letter from Royal Oak. [19]



July 12, 1775[20]

Nicholas Cresswell[21] left for Fort Finecastle (now Wheeling, WV) and got to Mr. David Shepherd’s. Saw an Alum Mine near to Mr. Shepherd’s with a good coal[22] in a limestone rock. Hired a horse from one of the neighbors to go to Valentine Crawford’s place. (NOTE: Nicholas Cresswell, who is described as a Rabid Torry (1759-1804) landed on the American shore at Virginia in the spring of 1774 and in 1777 escaped service in the American Revolutionary War. He was under surveillance as a British spy.)[23]
July 12, 1775: At a Cald Court held for the Examination of James Clark,
who stands committed for the Murder of Silas Tucker, an Infant
son of Wm. Tucker, this 12th day of July, 1775 : Prest, Jno Campbell, Thos. Smallman, Ed Ward, Jno.

The above named James Clark was led to the Barr, and upon
Examination denied the fact wherewith he stands Charged ;
whereupon several Witnesses were sworn and Examined, and

on Consideration of which the Court are of Opinion that he is
not Guilty of the facts wherewith he stands Charged, and that

July 12, 1776: Two British warships open fire on New York City. There are Rebels and Tories in New York. [25]



July 12, 1776: The British sent five ships up the Hudson River. Some American guns on the Manhattan bluffs opened fire, but in his General Orders the next day Washington remarked, more in sorrow than in anger, on the behavior of many of his cannoneers.

No, 35.—William CRAWFORD TO George WASHINGTON.

FORT PITT, July 12, 1779.

DEAR GENERAL :—Sometime last summer, I wrote you in regard to my being left out of[27] the Virginia Line, as it put it out of my power to serve as an officer with the Continental army with my proper rank; but I do not know whether my letter came to your hands or not.[28]

When General McIntosh went to Headquarter’s this spring, he told me he would acquaint you with my case.[29]

He gave me for answer that I must attend at headquarters myself; or I could not have the matter settled ; but that I might have to stay some time to have my matters some way arranged; which I must beg leave to do, there being a way of having them now done, Congress having sent an auditor to this Department for the purpose of settling ac­counts of the army.

Colonel Clark’s affairs have changed the disposition of the Indians much.[30] They have done very little mischief this summer; and in particular since the people down the river burnt the Shawnese town, or part of it, and killed three of their chief men.[31] A very little trouble would destroy the whole of the Shawanese towns by sending a party of about six hundred men to the mouth of Licking creek [32], below the Scioto; from there, it is no more than fifty miles, as I am informed, by those that were in the action, and a good road the whole way, there being no hills or defiles to prevent us from carrying two field pieces, four, to six pounders, that would batter down block-houses which the Shawanese have built to defend themselves in their towns. The people at Kentucky and at the Falls would be glad, as they have informed us that they would join a party from this place for that purpose. When the corn is in roasting ears would be a good time for the expedition. I only mention this, Sir, for your consideration, in case matters should not be otherwise settled.

Colonel Brodhead has spoken to me to join him with some of the militia of Virginia to go on a short campaign againtist a Mingo town up the Alleghany, which I have agreed to; as I would not wish to hurt the service, or leave it in the power of him to say I did not do everything I could to serve my country; which is- the only motive I have for? serving one moment.[33] As soon as that is done and my accounts are settled, I will attend at headquarters, unless you should order me otherwise.

As soon as Fort Randolph, at the mouth of the Kanawha, was evacuated, the Indians burnt it,[34] Agreeable to my promise, I advertised your land on Miller’s run, forewarning all persons from purchasing any part of it, as some were proposing selling it; and I shall do it again, as the land office is now open for patenting lands in the New Purchase.1 I hope, Sir, you will excuse my troubling you with this long letter. I am, etc.[35]

Summer, 1779

In the summer of 1779, there was a partial uprising of Tories in Montgomery County, where Colonel Walter Crockett, by his energy, succeeded in quelling the insurrection before it had gained much headway. The same Tory spirit had extended itself into Washington County and even into the Watauga and Nolachucky settlements; but the leaders were not open in their movements, rather like bandits, struck their blows in the dark, under disguises and concealments. Colonel Campbell was very out spoken against them. Francis Hopkins’, (the Tory bandit) reckless character was well known, a leader of a mountain clan of desperadoes, who had long infested the country, committing robberies on defenceless people along the thinly populatede frontiers. Campbell discovered and captured Hopkins. Hopkins, who had been insolent to Campbell, was speedily hung to the limb of a convenient sycamore that leaned over the river. [36]

The Prince John (John Charles Francis; July 12, 1905 – January 18, 1919) was a member of the British Royal Family, the youngest son of King George V and Queen Mary. The Prince had epilepsy and consequently was largely hidden from the public eye.


Early life

Prince John was born at York Cottage, on the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, England. His father was Prince George, then Prince of Wales (later King George V), the eldest living son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. His mother was Mary, Princess of Wales (later Queen Mary), the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. At the time of his birth, he was sixth in the line of succession.[46]

[18] THE BATTLES OF TRENTON AND PRINCETON BY WILLIAM S. STRYKER


[19] http://genealogytrails.com/vir/fincastle/county_history_3.html


[20] Beginning with the ‘Journal of Nicholas Cresswell’ July 12, 1775, as he was returning from the Illinois trip of failure, to the neighborhood of Col. William and Valentine Crawford. He was at this time, planning another escapade. This time into Indian country of Ohio.

(Cresswell) From River Clyde to Tymochtee and Col. William Crawford by Grace U. Emahiser, 1969 pg. 138.


[21] Nicholas Cresswell, who is described as a rabid Tory, (1750-1804), landed on the American Shore at Virginiea, spring of 1774 and in 1777, escaped the heat of the American Revolutionary War, by sheer luck. During his stay among the coloniesw of his native England, Cresswell drew credit on every one he possibly knew, in order to survive; while he wasted very little time on work. Being under surveillance as a British spy, he became disillusioned with his lot. Provoking terror upon himself by arguing, on and for the cause of his E”nglish government, against the new found liberty of the colonists, he tried one scheme after another, trying to be compatible while promoting his Tory ideas.

[22] Coal. Coal is formed from compressed plant material that grew during the Carboniferous Period some 340 million years ago. At that time, PA was part of a continent (Laurussia) located around the equator. After tectonic forces moved it north and under a carboniferous sea, sandstone and limestone were layered over the compressed vegetable matter compressing it into the hard mineral (coal) we find today. The coal in the central and eastern part of the state had an additional geologic factor to contend with. The surface and the layers of coal forming below were folded by the pressure and heat of major tectonic plates pushing against each other. These actions altered its mineral composition. The folding action that formed the Allegheny Mountains is the same action that folded the layers of anthracite coal.

The coal in the central and eastern part of PA is hard coal, or anthracite. Anthracite has a carbon content of around 94% while bituminous is closer to 88%. Anthracite burns cleaner with less smoke. In PA the mining of the two is vastly different in that bituminous coal is normally found in seams running parallel to the horizon while anthracite seams form an exaggerated wavy pattern following the same pressure forces causing the up and down nature of the Appalachian Mountains. The geological formation of western PA is a flat crust with mountains and valleys formed by glacial ice and resulting water erosion. As is often said in western PA, “we don’t have mountains—we have valleys.” Coal formed in flat seams parallel to the earth is eminently easier to mine than coal formed in mountain areas with serious crust deformation caused by the long ago mountain-forming pressures.

Notation of coal was drawn on a map around Saltsburg as early as 1752. Of more note was the hill across the Monongahela River from Fort Pitt which the settlers soon called “Coal Hill” (later called Duquesne Heights and/or Mt. Washington). The first superintendent over that area was Major Edward Ward.

The early inhabitants of Fort Pitt, and then Pittsburgh, crossed the Monongahela, dug baskets of coal, and returned to the other side with fuel for their kitchens and later their ovens, forges, and whatever. They were not aware that they were digging into the Pittsburgh Seam—one of the more valuable mineral deposits in the world. Coal did not become a dominant fuel source until perhaps the 1830s. Up until that time, wood was the major heat source and the forests were treated as an endless resource. When providing wood for heating in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and so forth became difficult, due to the scarcity of wood, people turned to coal.

Europeans used coal back as far as the pre-Christian era. When the French explored Cape Breton Island in 1672, they found coal. Joliet found more in present-day Illinois in 1673. Some historians cite the invention of the steam-engine as being the critical impetus behind the use of coal.

The use of coal as the major fuel source continues to this day when we find more than fifty-percent of the electrical power generated in the US coming from coal-fired furnaces. The availability of coal, together with available river transportation, is the major reason the steel industry grew in western PA. Simple arithmetic: to make steel requires one part iron ore, two parts limestone, and TEN parts coal. Basic economics places the steel mill in close proximity to available coal.

[27]Crawford having been detached from the 13th Virginia regiment, was never after able to secure his proper place in the Continental line, much as Washington desired to accommodate him.


[28] This letter was probably never received by Washington.


[29] In May, 1778, Brigadier-General Lachlan Mcintosh, was appointed by Washington to the command of the Western Department, at at Fort Pitt. He arrived at that post early in August, relieving Brigadier-General Edward Hand. His exertions were directed against Detroit, to accomplish the destruction of which, he caused to be built, in October, Fort Mcintosh, near the present site of Beaver, in Beaver county, Pennsylvania and afterward, marching into the Indian country, erected Fort Laurens upon the Tuscarawas, half a mile below the present town of Bolivar, in Tuscarawas county, Ohio. his plans against Detroit proved, in the end, abortive; and in the spring of 1779 he was recalled at his own request, being succeeded in command by Colonel Daniel Brodhead, of the 8th Pennsylvania regiment. He repaired immediately thereafter to Washington’s headquarters as mentioned by Crawford in the above letter.


[30] Early in 1778, LieutenantColonel George Rogers Clark, having planned a secret expedition against the Illinois country, then in posession of Great Britain, arrived in the western country to further his plans. In May, with a small force, he set sail for the Falls of the Ohio, The result of the expedition was the capture of Kaskaskia, St. Phillips, Cahokia, Prairie du Rocher, and Vincennes. The effect was, as Crawford states, to change, for a time, the disposition of many of the Western Indians, and, permanently so, a number of tribes living upon the Mississippi river nearest to the scenes of his conquest,


[31] In the month of May, 1779, Colonel John Bowman, of Kentucky, Collected together a small army to attack Chillicothe, a Shawanese town about three miles north of the present town of Xenia, county--seat of Greene county, Ohio. With two hundred and sixty--two men, early in the morning of the 30th of that month, he encompassed the village and set fire to it. His success was only partial in its destruction-the council-house of the enemy defying the assaults of the Americans. After killing several of the savages and securing a large amount of plunder, the expedition returned with slight loss, proving by no means a failure, although not as much was accomplished as had been expected.
