November 25, 1177
Chatillon was active in the power struggles in Jerusalem and allied himself with the powerful militant monks called the Templars. He joined his fellow Europeans in battle against the Muslimes when it suited him. In the great defeat of Saladin November 25, 1177, for example, where the Muslim forces were cut to pieces in a swamp near Mont Gisard, he comported himself brilliantly. [1] The Battle of Montgisard was fought between the Ayyubids and the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The 16 year old King Baldwin IV, seriously afflicted by leprosy, led an out numbered Christian force against the army of Saladin. The Islamic force was routed and their casualties were massive, only a fraction managed to flee to safety.[2]
Historically, Jacobs Ford is the best place to pass from western Palestine to Syria.
The Templars plan is to expand the Christian Empire eastward, threatening Damascus. They want to disregard an agreement made between Saladin and Baldwin that no fort would be built. The Grand Master Templar Odo Saint Amand wont take no for an answer. Baldwin decides on building the Castle at Jacobs Ford. [3]

1277: Simon de Montacute, ?-1317
22nd great grandfather.
First Baron Montacute. One of the first admirals, served in senior positions in Norman wars in France, Wales, and Scotland.
Served in Welsh war against Llywelyn ab Gruffydd, 1277; also in successful campaign again in 1282; commanded a ship which broke French siege of Bordeaux (then English), 1296; in Gascony till 1297; battle of Falkirk, 1298; wars against Scotland, 1299; Governor of Corfe Castle, 1299; signed and sealed "the famous letter of the Barons to the Pope", 1301; siege of Carlaverock, 1300; Scottish wars till 1307; governor of Beaumaris Castle, 1308; Admiral of the Fleet (employed against the Scots), 1310.
Descendent of Drogo. Married Aufricia, daughter of Fergus, king of Man.
Denholm-Young provides some information on what it meant to be an admiral in 1307:
"A more traditional type of admiral was Lord Simon de Montague, a king's banneret and a baron, appointed in 1307 as Captain and Governor of the whole fleet. Simon, who bore golden griffins on a blue banner at Caerlaverock, was Constable of Corfe and later Beaumaris. He is said to have served in all Edward's wars.
After 1293 the war, not yet declared on land, was growing in intensity between merchant fleets at sea, and the control of this in the interests of the king and his subjects led to the appointment, for the first time, of admirals. There was as yet no Royal Navy, though the king had a ship or two... The nucleus for a war-time fleet was provided, under a standing agreement, by the Cinque Ports, and the rest were, like their crews, impressed... the crews had from time to time to be prosecuted because they "withdrew without licence", as in 1302 and 1303... The ships, merely armed merchantmen, with soldiers on board if battle was intended, sailed in convoy. As on land, the opposing sides sometimes agreed upon a time and place for battle...
...These ad-hoc fleets helped to conquer Wales by cutting off supplies from Llewelyn. They assisted in the Scottish campaigns by transporting supplies to Scotland, and elsewhere by protecting merchant ships or even ports from attack; but most of all transporting men, horses, and bullion ... naval warfare, in the absence of guns, inevitably consisted in boarding and capturing enemy ships, with the aid of archers and "Greek fire" hurled from slings." (Denholm-Young).
Denholm-Young provides the footnote: " Simon de Montague castellated Yerdlingham, co. Somerset. He was appointed January 30, 1307 ( CPR, p. 490)."
The Cinque Ports were the English "international airports" of the times, that is, they were ports engaged in "international" trade (the concept of the nation-state did not really exist at the time). They were somewhat similar to the Hanseatic League.
Note that his family arms, a single male griffin, was supposed to be the family's original arms and was also ascribed to Osmond.[37]
1278: Death of Nicola Pisano the Italian sculptor, death of Ottokar II king of Bohemia as he is defeated bu Rudolf and killed at Durnkrut – succeeded by Wenceslas II, Death of Martin of Troppau the chronicler and historian, St. Maria Novella church built in Florence, 278 Jews in London hanged for clipping coin but Christians guilty of same offense fined. Invention of glass mirror, death of Ottokar II the Great King of Bohemia. [38]
November 25, 1487: Both of Richard's illegitimate children survived him, but they seem to have died without issue. John may have been executed in 1499, though no record of this exists, beyond an assertion by George Buck over a century later.[53] Katherine apparently died before her cousin Elizabeth of York's coronation on November 25, 1487. The mysterious Richard Plantagenet is also a possible illegitimate child of Richard III and is sometimes referred to as "Richard the Master-Builder". He died in 1550.[54][39]

This place lies on the bank of the Delaware River, is not very big nor symmetrical, but it does have an imposing town hall [Gloucester County Courthouse!]. This evening the Jägers, which were the rear guard and were posted on a bridge one-half hour from Gloucester, were attacked and surrounded by the enemy. However, two companies of light infantry hurried to their assistance and saved them from captivity. Lieutenant [Georg Hermann] Heppe was killed, and Lieutenant Hagen and a few jägers wounded, in the affair. This same evening the sailors set fire to a house. Through the day people were engaged loading the baggage, horses, and wagons. We encountered few residents in this region because most were, and fought as rebels, generally, the regular troops, as well as the militia, from the provinces of Old and New Jersey were the strongest of all the provinces engaged in this war.

November 25, 1795: In 1795 William Henry Harrison (6th cousin 7x removed) met Anna Symmes, of North Bend, Ohio. She was the daughter of Judge John Cleves Symmes, a prominent figure in the state, and former representative to the Congress of the Confederation.[3] When Harrison asked the judge for permission to marry Anna, he was refused. Harrison waited until Symmes left on business, then he and Anna eloped and married on November 25, 1795.[13] Afterward, concerned about Harrison's ability to provide for Anna, Symmes sold the young couple 160 acres (65 ha) of land in North Bend.[14]
Together they had 10 children. Nine lived into adulthood and one died in infancy. Anna was frequently in poor health during the marriage, primarily due to her many pregnancies.[15] Nevertheless, she outlived William by 23 years, dying at age 88 on February 25, 1864.
Harrison is also believed to have had six children with one of his female slaves, Dilsia. When he ran for president he did not want "bastard slave children" around, so he gave four of his children to his brother, who sold them to a Georgia planter. Through this family line, Harrison is the great-grandfather of famous black civil rights activist Walter Francis White. White was the president of the NAACP from 1931–1955.[16][59]
Walter Francis White
9th cousin 4x removed.
Walter Francis White : Biography
Walter Francis White was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on 1st July, 1893. His father was a postman and his mother a schoolteacher. Atlanta had Jim Crow laws and as a child White attended African American schools and sat in the rear of buses. When he was thirteen White experienced a race riot in Atlanta.
Although White's African American school was of a poor standard he managed to obtain a place at Atlanta University. After graduating in 1916 White worked for Standard Life, a large insurance company. He also became secretary of the Atlanta branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP). White organized a campaign to improve African American public facilities in the city. This brought him to the attention of James Weldon Johnson, who offered him a full-time post at the NAACP.
White's main task at the NAACP was to investigate lynching and race riots. His light skin enabled him to pass as a white man and this helped him acquire information about racist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. His research was eventually published in the book, Rope and Faggot (1929).
In 1929 White was appointed chief executive of the NAACP. He was seen as a moderate and clashed with those members of the organization arguing for more militant action. This included William Du Bois who eventually resigned as editor of the organization's journal, The Crisis, after White criticised his support for "non discriminatory segregation". White now appointed another moderate, Roy Wilkins, as the new editor of the journal.
White was appalled when in 1930 President Herbert Hoover selected John J. Parker of North Carolina to become a member of the Supreme Court. Parker had stated on many occasions that he was opposed to African Americans having the vote. Over the next few months White lobbied members of the Senate and was able to persuade them to reject Parker's nomination by 41 to 39.
White, a close friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, was a supporter of the New Deal. However, he was critical of some programs such as the National Recovery Administration (NRA) and the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA). White felt that the National Labour Relations Act did not provide trade union members with enough protection and he was unable to persuade Franklin D. Roosevelt to advocate an anti-lynching bill.
In 1935 White managed to persuade the brilliant African American lawyer, Charles Houston, to head the NAACP legal department. The following year he recruited Thurgood Marshall to the department. Houston and Marshall led the challenge through the courts of issues such as segregation in transportation and publicly owned places of recreation, inequities in the segregated education system and restrictive covenants in housing.
White was an outstanding propagandist and articles that he wrote about African American civil rights appeared in a variety of journals including Collier's, Saturday Evening Post, The Nation, Harper's Magazine and the New Republic. White also wrote a regular column in the New York Herald Tribune and the Chicago Defender.
In 1949 White offered to resign for medical reasons. The NAACP Board of Directors wanted White to remain and so instead gave him a one-year leave of absence. While he was away he was replaced by Roy Wilkins.
Soon afterwards it was discovered that White was divorcing his African-American wife to marry a white woman named Poppy Cannon. One member of the board, Carl Murphy, wanted White fired. Others, led by William Hastie, argued that it was hypocritical for the NAACP to preach racial equality and then fire him for having an interracial marriage.
In 1950 White wanted to return to his post. Eventually it was decided to create a dyad system. Roy Wilkins took charge of all internal matters whereas White was given the post of executive secretary. Walter Francis White remained the NAACP's official spokesman until his death on 21st March, 1955.

A Life in Brief
William Henry Harrison served the shortest time of any American President—only thirty-two days. He also was the first President from the Whig Party. He had won his nickname, “Old Tip,” as the tough commanding general of American forces who defeated hostile Native Americans at the Battle of Tippecanoe in the Ohio River Valley in 1811. More »[62]

Two of Albert's cousins, King Pedro V and Prince Ferdinand of Portugal, died of typhoid fever.[99] On top of this news, Albert was informed that gossip was spreading in gentlemen's clubs and the foreign press that the Prince of Wales was still involved with Nellie Clifden.[100] Albert and Victoria were horrified by their son's indiscretion, and feared blackmail, scandal or pregnancy.[101] Although Albert was ill and at a low ebb, he travelled to Cambridge to see the Prince of Wales on November 25[102] to discuss his son's indiscreet affair.[49] In his final weeks Albert suffered from pains in his back and legs.[103]

November 25, 1942: Rabbi Stephen S. Wise releases to the press the news contained in the Riegner cable.[83]
Analysis of nineteen important newspapers throughout the United States shows that only five placed the story on page 1, none of them prominently. Two of the nineteen did not carry the report at all.[84]
That same day, virtually all the newspapers found room on the front page for essentially frivolous “human interest” stories. Of the nineteen newspapers, only ten reported Wise’s November 24 press conference at all, and then mostly inconspicuously on inside pages. [85]
In retrospect, it seems almost unbelievable that in Roosevelt’s press conferences (normally held twice a week) not one word was spoken about the mass killing of European Jews until almost a year later. The President had nothing to say to reporters on the matter, and no correspondent asked him about it.
The first clear comment on mass killing of Jews came on March 24, 1944.[86]
Rabbi Stephen Wise (1874-1949)
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/holocaust/peopleevents/images/3pixel_line.gif
Rabbi Stephen Wise (1874-1949)On August 28, 1942, Rabbi Stephen Wise received an alarming cable from London. It read in part: "IN FUHRER'S HEADQUARTERS PLAN DISCUSSED AND UNDER CONSIDERATION THAT ALL JEWS IN COUNTRIES OCCUPIED OR CONTROLLED [BY] GERMANY...SHOULD AFTER DEPORTATION AND CONCENTRATION IN EAST AT ONE BLOW BE EXTERMINATED." The message had originally been sent by Gerhart Riegner, the World Jewish Congress representative in Switzerland. It came to Wise because, as a leading figure in more than a dozen Jewish organizations, he was probably the most influential and well-respected American Jew of his generation. For the next three years, despite his age and deteriorating health, the rabbi devoted much of his energy to alerting the world to the plight of European Jewry and to urging the U.S. government to thwart Hitler's plans. He met with limited success. At the end of his life he would write of that struggle: "I have seen and shared deep and terrible sorrow. The tale might be less tragic if the help of men had been less scant and fitful."
The grandson of the politically liberal but religiously orthodox Chief Rabbi of Hungary, Wise was born in Budapest on March 17, 1874. Like his grandfather, Wise was a committed humanitarian. In his autobiography he wrote, "I was born into the in-many-ways brave postwar liberalism of the mid-nineteenth century of my adoptive country." And he remained, "an unshakable liberal" throughout his life. As a young rabbi in Portland, Oregon, his political convictions led him to fight for the introduction of a new child labor law, to speak out on behalf of striking workers, and later to become a vocal supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. The president's plan he said, "served the American people by daring to use America's resources for all its people."
But perhaps Wise's strongest political commitment was to the establishment of a Jewish state. He attributed this to his father and to his first encounter with Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism. The two men met in August of 1898 at the second world Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland. Years later Wise would write: "I stood before a young, bearded Jew of goodly stature, then somewhat under forty, who bore himself with the simplicity of a son of kings and prophets.... I felt at once a bond with him, apart from my unreserved acceptance of his leadership." In the final months of his life, Wise was to see the creation of Israel, although he died before he was able to set foot in the "Holy Land."
Wise was among the Jewish leaders who spoke out against Nazism shortly after Hitler came to power in 1933. In March of that year the American Jewish Congress organized a mass meeting in New York City's Madison Square Garden where Wise called for an immediate end to the anti-Semitism of the Third Reich. The Nazis responded by announcing further restrictions against the Jews, claiming these were ordered because of the "atrocity propaganda" by Jews in America. By the time Wise received the telegram from London more than nine years later warning of Hitler's plan to kill the Jews of Europe, his tireless anti-Nazi publicity campaign had achieved little to help German Jewry. Rather than opening its doors to Jews from Europe, the U.S. had tightened its immigration procedures.
News about Nazi atrocities had been trickling out of Europe since 1941. In July of that year, New York Yiddish dailies reported that the Nazis had slaughtered hundreds of Jews in Minsk, Lvov and other cities in the Soviet Union. In October, a "New York Times" story reported the Nazis had massacred up to 15,000 Jews in Galicia. And in May of 1942, an underground Jewish organization smuggled information out of Poland which estimated the Nazis had already killed 700,000 Polish Jews.
When Wise received Riegner's message in August of 1942 about the "Final Solution," he was shaken. Not knowing that the State Department had already received the same message, Wise forwarded a copy of the cable to Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles. Welles asked Wise not to release the information to the public until his department could confirm it, a process that took more than two months. On November 24th Wise called a press conference to announce the Nazis were deporting Jews throughout German-occupied territory to Poland for mass slaughter. The news was buried deep in the inside pages of U.S. newspapers.
In December, Wise persuaded President Roosevelt to meet with him and several other rabbis to discuss Hitler's horrifying plans. The delegation had few suggestions for White House action besides urging Roosevelt to "warn the Nazis that they will be held strictly accountable for their crimes." But by March, the American Jewish Congress under Wise's leadership had come up with an eleven-point program with specific rescue proposals that it presented at a "Stop Hitler Now" rally in New York. In the following weeks, Wise tried to capitalize on the mass meeting by sending letters to Roosevelt and every member of congress outlining the suggestions. But he met with little support. The reply back from the president was vague: "This government has moved and continues to move, so far as the burden of the war permits, to help the victims of the Nazi doctrines of racial, religious and political oppression."
During the rest of 1943, Wise did much to publicize the genocide the Nazis were perpetrating, but ultimately it was others who persuaded President Roosevelt that something could be done to rescue some of the remaining Jews in Europe. In January 1944 President Roosevelt was convinced to establish the War Refugee Board, after members of the Treasury Department presented him with a scathing report outlining the State Department's history of obstructing rescue, and after members of the radical Zionist Bergson group were winning political support in Congress for an independent government rescue agency. Some observers at the time suggested that Wise's own effectiveness may have been diminished by the fact that he shouldered too many responsibilities for the American Jewish community. Others have also criticized him for his unshakable faith that FDR would do everything within his power for Europe's Jews. Nonetheless, whatever his failings, when he died in 1949, Wise would be remembered as "one of the greatest fighters for democracy and human rights of our generation."[87]
