May 26, 1135: Alfonso VII of León and Castile was crowned in the Cathedral of Leon as Imperator totius Hispaniae, "Emperor of all of Spain". At the start of his reign he curtailed “the rights and liberties which his father had granted the Jews. He ordered that neither a Jew nor a convert might exercise legal authority over Christians, and he held the Jews responsible for the collection of the royal taxes.” After a few years, he adopted a more positive policy towards his Jewish subject. He restored the rights granted by his father and then granted new ones including the granting of a special fuero (charter) in 1136 that permitted the Jews of Guadalajara to outfit themselves like the Christian Knights of his kingdom. Judah ben Joseph ibn Ezra (Nasi) was one of the King’s most influential advisors. After the conquest of Calatrava in 1147, the king placed Judah in command of the fortress, later making him his court chamberlain. The king held Judah ben Joseph in such high esteem that he granted Judah’s request to let the Jews who had fled from the Almohades to settle in Toledo. The reigns of Alfonso and his father are proof that Jews prospered, and suffered, under both Catholic and Moslem rule, depending upon the ruler and the time period.[1]
May 26, 1465: Elizabeth Woodville (wife of the 5th cousin 17x removed)
Elizabeth Woodville

Queen consort of England
Tenure
May 1, 1464 - October 3, 1470
April 11, 1471 - April 9, 1483
Coronation
May 26, 1465
[2]
Elizabeth was crowned Queen on Ascension Day, May 26, 1465.
In the early years of his reign, Edward's governance of England was dependent upon a small circle of supporters, most notably his cousin, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick. At around the time of Edward's secret marriage, Warwick was negotiating an alliance with France in an effort to thwart a similar arrangement being made by his sworn enemy Margaret of Anjou, wife of the deposed Henry VI. The plan was that Edward should marry a French Princess. When his marriage to Elizabeth, who was both a commoner and from a family of Lancastrian supporters, became public, Warwick was both embarrassed and offended, and his relationship with Edward never recovered. The match was also badly received by the Privy Council, who according to Jean de Waurin told Edward with great frankness that "he must know she was no wife for a prince such as himself."
With the arrival on the scene of the new queen came a host of siblings who soon married into some of the most notable families in England.[6] The marriages of her sisters to the sons of the earls of Kent, Essex and Pembroke have left no sign of unhappiness on the parts of the parties involved, nor does that of her sister, Catherine Woodville, (grandaunt of the wife of the 3rd cousin 15x removed) to the queen's 11-year-old ward Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, though the duke stood with the duke of Gloucester in opposition to the Woodvilles after the death of Edward IV. The one marriage which may be considered shocking was that of her 20-year-old brother John Woodville to Katherine, Duchess of Norfolk, daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, by Joan Beaufort, and widow of John Mowbray, 2nd Duke of Norfolk. The wealthy Katherine had been widowed three times and was probably in her sixties.

Elizabeth Woodville's arms as queen consort, the royal arms of England impaling Wooville (Quartlerly, first argent, a lion rampant double queued gules, crowned or (Luxemburg, her mother’s family), second quarterly, I and IV, gules a star if eight points argent; II and III, azure, semée of fleurs de lys or; third, barry argent and azure, overall a lion rampant gules; fourth, gules, three bendlets argent, on a chief of the first, charged with a fillet in base or, a rose of the second (here shown in inverse: the rose should be argent on a chief gules); fifth, three pallets vairy, on a chief or a label of five points azure, and sixth, a fess and a canton conjoined gules (Woodville))[7][8]
When Elizabeth's relatives, especially her brother, Anthony Woodville, 2nd Earl Rivers, began to challenge Warwick's pre-eminence in English political society, Warwick conspired with his son-in-law, the Duke of Clarence, the king's younger brother. One of his followers accused Elizabeth's mother, the Duchess of Bedford, of practising witchcraft. Jacquetta was acquitted the following year.[9] Warwick and Clarence twice rose in revolt and then fled to France. Warwick formed an uneasy alliance with the Lancastrian Queen Margaret of Anjou and restored her husband Henry VI to the throne in 1470, but, the following year, Edward IV returned from exile and defeated Warwick at the Battle of Barnet and the Lancastrians at the Battle of Tewkesbury. Henry VI was murdered soon afterwards.
Following her husband's temporary fall from power, Elizabeth had sought sanctuary in Westminster Abbey, where she gave birth to a son, Edward (later Edward V of England). Her marriage to Edward IV produced a total of ten children, including another son, Richard, Duke of York, who would later join his brother as one of the Princes in the Tower.[3] Five daughters also lived to adulthood.
Queen Elizabeth engaged in acts of Christian piety, which was in keeping with what was expected of a medieval queen consort. Her acts included making pilgrimages, obtaining a papal indulgence for those who knelt and said the Angelus three times per day, and founding the chapel of St. Erasmus in Westminster Abbey.[10][3]
May 26, 1566: Birthdate of Sultan Mehmed III. During the reign of Sultan Mehmed III, Gabriel Buonaventura was appointed ambassador and established contacts with Spain. Solomon Eskenazi, Doctor Benveniste and Doctor Moshe Korina held positions at the palace. In 1597 Solomon Abenyaes (Marrano Name: Alvaro Mendez) prepared a treaty that was intended to ally the Ottoman Empire with England in the fight against king Philip of Spain.[4]
End of May 1566: Mary Queen of Scots,(5th cousin 13x removed) being far advanced in her pregnancy, goes to Stirling to be confined there, to shelter herself from any new attempts on the part of her enemies, and perhaps also to withdraw from Darnley ; but he having joined her, she soon returned to Edinburgh.^ [5]
At the same time, Elizabeth (8th cousin 14x removed) was seized with a dangerous sickness, which reduced her to the last extremity. All England was in consternation, and the interests of the two opposing factions, inclined them to place the crown on Mary's head ; but, the danger once passed, their hatreds and divisions broke out more violently than ever.
Elizabeth, having soon recovered her health, sent Killegrew to Mary, to complain that she harboured in Scotland a person named Ruxby, who she pretended was a rebel, but who, at bottom, was really the spy of Cecil. [6]
May 26, 1583: Esme D'Aubigny, Duke of Lennox, dies at Paris, after a protracted illness. [7]
May 26, 1628: Parliament adopted a Petition of Right on May 26, calling upon the king to acknowledge that he could not levy taxes without Parliament's consent, impose martial law on civilians, imprison them without due process, or quarter troops in their homes.[57] Charles I (7th cousin 11x removed) assented to the petition on June 7,[58] but by the end of the month he had prorogued Parliament and re-asserted his right to collect customs duties without authorisation from Parliament.[59]
Despite Charles's agreement to provide the French with English ships as a condition of marrying Henrietta Maria, he reneged upon his earlier promise and in 1628 instead launched a an attack on the French coast led by Buckingham to defend the Huguenots at La Rochelle,[60] thereby driving a wedge between the English and French Crowns that was not surmounted for the duration of the Thirty Years' War.[40] Buckingham's failure to protect the Huguenots – and his retreat from Saint-Martin-de-Ré – spurred Louis XIII's siege of La Rochelle and furthered the English Parliament's and people's detestation of the duke.[61][8]
May 26, 1637: New Englanders attack the Pequot Indian stronghold near New Haven, Connecticut, in the first battle of the Pequot War.[9]
May 26, 1648: As the Cossack uprising continued to gain momentum a force of Cossacks and Crimean Tatars attacked and defeated Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forces at the Battle of Korsun. The defeat of the Polish-Lithuanian forces followed the pattern seen at the battle at Zhovti Vody. The Poles retreated and the Cossacks continued moving westward gaining support as they went The slaughter of the Jews was about to begin in earnest.[10]
May 26, 1650: One of his major victories in Ireland was diplomatic rather than military. With the help of Roger Boyle, 1st Earl of Orrery, Cromwell persuaded the Protestant Royalist troops in Cork to change sides and fight with the Parliament.[47] At this point, word reached Cromwell that Charles II (8th cousin 10x removed) had landed in Scotland and been proclaimed king by the Covenanter regime. Cromwell therefore returned to England from Youghal on May 26, 1650 to counter this threat.[48]
The Parliamentarian conquest of Ireland dragged on for almost three years after Cromwell's departure. The campaigns under Cromwell's successors Henry Ireton and Edmund Ludlow mostly consisted of long sieges of fortified cities and guerrilla warfare in the countryside.[11]
May 26, 1670: Secret Treaty of Dover
Henriette (8th cousin 10x removed) was instrumental in diplomatic negotiations between her native England and adopted France. Her brother Charles II (brother in law of the 8th cousin 10x removed), with whom she had always been very close, had been trying to establish a closer relationship with France. Having been under discussion since 1663, it was not till 1669 that Charles II set the wheels into motion by openly admitting he would become a Roman Catholic and vowing to bring England under Roman Catholicism. Henriette was eager to visit her homeland and Louis XIV encouraged her in order for the treaty to take place. Philippe, however, annoyed with Henrietta for her flirting with Guiche and his previous lovers, remained adamant that she should not be allowed to go complaining to the English king and that she should remain at his side in France. Appealing to the French king, she managed to arrange for her to travel to England, where she arrived in Dover on May 26, 1670, remaining there till June 1, the day the treaty was signed.[30][12]
May 26, 1724: Beginning of the papacy of Benedict XIII, the pope who issued “Emanavit nuper,” a Papal Bull, dealing with “the necessary conditions for imposing Baptism on a Jew.”[13]

1725: In 1725 John Van Meter and Indian trader from New York explored what is now Hardy County. He found the Indian fields and described the broad valley as the best land he had yet seen.[21] In 1725, John Van Meter accompanied a group of Delaware warriors as they traveled through the Potomac Highlands to attack the Catawba Indians. The war party passed through present-day Grant and Hardy counties before being ambushed by a group of Catawba warriors in present-day Pendleton County. John Van Meter escaped, and returned to his home in New York where he told his children about his adventures in western Virginia. [22]
1725: In Werneck, five families (of Joseph, Jacob old, Jacob young, David and Samuel).[23] 1725 it is that of Jacob and Michael Schraudenbach the families of Pfeufer and Solver, in Ettleben.[24]
May 26, 1753: In Zhitomir, the castle court under the influence of Bishop Solik of Kiev sentenced 33 Jews to death for the "ritual murder" of a Christian child. The entire evidence was based on the "confessions" of the innkeeper and his wife which had been made after being tortured, although they later retracted their statements. Thirteen of them were released upon converting. Many others, including the local Rabbi, were quartered alive. One couple converted on the spot and was granted a beheading.[25]

May 26th, 1782 Sunday.—The loss of several horses detained us untill 8 O’clock next morning. March’d in 2 Columns, as the badness of the ground and the thickets would not admit of marching in 4 Columns agreeable to our proposed plan. We passed through several very steep passages—mires— barren heaths—thickets of thorns almost impassable to the Brushy fork of Cross Creek, Four miles from where we had been encamped. Two miles farther on to the middle fork of Cross Creek the ground produced but huckelberry Bushes and the leaves hardly appeared on the trees.
Our course had been in the fore part of the Day W. inclining a little to the South. Our pilot fearing to be too much to the South inclined now that much to the northward of West. In the afternoon we (our right column [Sic]) passed a large Lick to which a large Elk & Buffaloe path was visible. We crossed after this two more small Branches of the waters of Cross Creek about 6 miles from where they all join and constitute the main Creek. These head Waters are counted to be 30 Miles from Wheeling & their dividing Ridges lost themselves into a more level Country. the Woods grew more open & about 4 P.M. we came upon the waters of Muskingham. Our pilot supposed this to be the original Branch of Midle Creek.
We marched this day about 17 miles and encamped along a small Run in a very Brushy place, in the same order, we had marched in, closing a quarée—vid. plan of encampment.[32]

Map of Crawford Expedition and Sandusky settlements[33]
[May 26, 1782—Sunday]
Col. Crawford was irked by the slowness of the first day’s march yesterday and the loud, careless conversation that the men engaged in as they rode. Their four abreast columns had been ragged and disorderly, their behavior more like a group of youngsters out on a lark than an army marching to surprise an enemy. Now, as camp was struck and the army prepared to mount for its second day’s ride, he ordered a sign to be made and posted on a tree for all to read as they passed:
Every Man ought to be convinced that the success of our enterprize depends in great measure upon a rapid & secret march.[34]
V.— CooK TO IRVINE.
May 26, 1782.
Sir:— I have received two letters from you since I have had the opportunity of answering.
I wrote to Colonel Pumroy, as I mentioned in my last, to take the command agreeable to the arrangement, which he has not attended to. Colonel [Charles] Campbell [sub-lieutenant of Westmoreland county] wrote me that Pumroy would attend. this month, and I understand he has not. In short, it appears that every thing is done by those people that they think will promote confusion and disorder. I never can hear that one man is gone from that quarter to the defense of the frontier. Those that were drafted for the defense this month have chiefly turned out volunteers on this [Crawford’s] expedition [against Sandusky] and that is the reason why so few are from this quarter, which is the only part that has done any thing.
I have endeavored to do every thing in my power, and can get so little done to any purpose that my quiet and peace are so destroyed that life, in some measure, is burthensome. I have ordered Colonel [Benjamin] Davis [of the second battalion of Westmoreland militia] now to the frontier for what remains of this month and have ordered a few men more to re-enforce Captain [Thomas] Moore. Eight men are gone. I hope after this month there shall be less cause of complaint.
P. S.—Before I was done writing, Ensign Cooper came in and informs me that Pumroy has attended, but has not waited upon you nor made any report; upon which I have written to him and countermanded the order to Davis. Many thanks for your care about the fine.[35]
May 26, 1790: The Methodists did not reach this county (Fayette) until some years after
the Revolution — about the close of the last century. fs) They rapidly rose in numbers and influence, — their system of itineracy, or
circuit riding, being- admirably fitted to a new country. (t) They
had preaching stations at Uniontown, Brownsville, Connellsville
and elsewhere, at an early period of their progress. Among their
earliest preachers and exhorters at Jnicntown, and perhaps at other
stations, were Messrs. Henry Tomlinson, William AlcClelland,
John and Thomas Chaplin and Moses Hopwood. The Rev. William
Brownfield began his clerical labors in that Church, but his deep
rooted Calvinism soon led him to the Baptists, for whom he has
long labored. The Rev. Thornton Fleming of excellent memory,
Avas among their early preachers.
(s~>The oldest r^Iethodist Ep. Church title in Fayette county that we can find is a deed from Isaac Meason to Thomas Moore, Jacob Murphy, Zach'h. Connell and Isaac Charles, Trustees, Szo.., for one acre, for a meeting house, dated May 26, 1790: — but where it is — in what township, or other locality, we do not know.
The Protestant Methodists arose about 1829, — the Cumberland
Presbyterians in 1833, coming here from Tennessee and Kentucky,
where they originated about 1810. [36]
May 26, 1790: Congress establishes a government for Tennessee, part of which was formerly the state of Franklin.[37]
Treaty of New York
•The Treaty of New York is one of several treaties signed between the United States and Native American tribes, conducted in the city of New York.
Summer 1790
The Treaty of New York was a treaty signed in 1790 between leaders of the Native American Tribes Creek people and Henry Knox, then Secretary of War for the United States, under president George Washington.
After a failed treaty attempt between the United States and the Creek Indians at Rock Landing, Georgia, in 1789, which Creek leader Alexander McGillivray abruptly ended and described his grievances in a letter to the United States commissioners, George Washington sent a special emissary, Colonel Marinus Willett to McGillvray, persuading him to come to New York City, then the capital of the United States, to conduct a treaty with Washington and Henry Knox directly.
In the summer of 1790, twenty-seven Creek leaders led by Alexander McGillivray traveled to New York and signed a treaty on behalf of the "Upper, Middle, and Lower Creek and Seminole composing the Creek nation of Indians". Creek leaders ceded a significant portion of their hunting grounds to the United States and agreed to turn runaway slaves over to federal authorities, although the Creek leaders averred that convincing the Creek people to honor the new boundary lines or return African American slaves would be difficult at best.
The United States granted the Creeks the right to punish non-Indian trespassers in their territory but refused to allow the Creeks to punish non-Indians who committed crimes on Creek lands. For their part, the Creeks agreed to turn over Creek people accused of crimes to the U.S. courts. In a secret side agreement to the treaty, McGillivray received a commission as a brigadier in the U.S. Army and was granted permission to import goods through the Spanish port of Pensacola without paying American duties.
The Treaty of New York was the first treaty between the United States and Native Americans not held in Indian controlled lands. [38][39]

He married (1) LORENA MOORE, daughter of JOHN MOORE and MARTHA COVINGTON. He married (2) MARGARET ROBINSON November 25, 1855 in Macon County, North carolina.
Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON CRAWFORD, JR.:
George's educational opportunities in his younger days were very limited. At the age of fifteen he lost his father, and he being the eldest of the family, the heavy responsible task of taking charge of the family devolved upon him, and he assumed the duty of helping to rear the younger children.

May 26, 1804: There are two principal lists of engagés, which were evidently intended to be complete, one in a detachment order of May 26, 1804, the other in Clark's Field Notes under July 4, 1804. They are inconsistent in both names and numbers, and there is no certainty whether the inconsistencies represent additions or discharges, use of surnames or dit names, or simple forgetfulness. There is also a record of men paid off in St. Louis after their return from Fort Mandan in 1805, but it is obviously incomplete. Some of the men may not appear there because they were discharged at the Arikara or Mandan villages in the fall of 1804 and received their pay in cash. It is at least possible that men were added or discharged along the Missouri, recruited from St. Louis–bound trading parties or leaving the expedition and joining such a party. The captains' lack of attention to the Frenchmen may have extended to failure to note such changes among the engagés. [7][42]

* The House of Representatives passes the Indian Removal Act by a 102–97 vote.[43]
May 26, 1835: Francis Preston (b. August 2, 1765 / d. May 26, 1835).[44]
They began rounding up Cherokees in Georgia on May 26, 1838; ten days later, operations began in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama. Men, women, and children were removed at gunpoint from their homes over three weeks and gathered together in concentration camps, often with very few of their possessions. Another soldier, Private John G. Burnett later wrote "Future generations will read and condemn the act and I do hope posterity will remember that private soldiers like myself, and like the four Cherokees who were forced by General Scott to shoot an Indian Chief and his children, had to execute the orders of our superiors. We had no choice in the matter."
* This story is perhaps a garbled version of the episode when a Cherokee named Tsali or Charley and three others killed two soldiers in the North Carolina mountains during the round-up.[citation needed] The two Indians were subsequently tracked down and executed by Chief Euchella's band of Cherokees in exchange for a deal with the Army to avoid their own removal. The Cherokees were then marched overland to departure points at Ross’s Landing (Chattanooga, Tennessee) and Gunter’s Landing (Guntersville, Alabama) on the Tennessee River, and forced on to flatboats and the steamers "Smelter" and "Little Rock". Unfortunately, a drought brought low water levels on the rivers, requiring frequent unloading of vessels to evade river obstacles and shoals. The Army directed Removal was characterized by many deaths and desertions, and this part of the Cherokee Removal proved to be a fiasco and Gen. Scott ordered suspension of further removal efforts. [45]
May 26, 1838-1839
The Trail of Tears; Three days after the removal deadline, federal troops and state militia begin what they call “the assembly of the Cherokee people”. [46]The Cherokees are rounded up and placed in internment camps. The round-up of the Cherokee was in Georgia, with most being crowded into Camp Cherokee at Ross’ Landing.[47] They were forced to relocate to Indian Territory, with at least one-quarter of the nation dying as a consequence of the removal.[48] Many were Christians who sang hymns along the way. 15 died at every stop.
What we did to the southeast Indians in the 1830’s was “ethnic cleansing”. The removal had caused the death of 4,000 people.[49]

‘endeavor to use relatives in the United States to see about getting
something done in Washington.’ According to the letter, Oswald is

Major David Stephenson was major in Colonel Daniel Morgan's Rifle Corps. There were five Stephensons, all brothers, who lived in Berkley county on the Bullskin before the Revolution.
Hugh Stephenson
Hugh Stephenson was one of five sons of Richard Stephenson, who settled on Bullskin creek early in the eighteenth century. Hugh had commanded a company of rifleman durning the French and Indian War. Washington thought highly of him, and recommended him for the command of one of the two rifle companies raised in the Shenandoah Valley in 1775. He was the Capt of Virginia troops. In
1776 he was promoted colonel, and was employed in raising a rifle regiment when he was taken ill, with a return of camp fever* and died at his home in Bullskin.
He had some property near Shepherdstown, and had gone into partnership, before the Revolution, with David Shephard in establishing a rival ferry at Shepherstown, where Swearingen's Ferry had prior possession.
Stephenson left a wife and several children.

In a letter from Col. William Crawford to George Washington, dated February 12, 1777, he tells of his brother, Valentine's death as well as his half-brother, Hugh Stephenson. Crawford writes "I suppose by this time you may have heard of all my misfortunes. The loss of Hugh Stephenson and Valentine Crawford, who died the 7th of last month at Bullskin without any will, is very hard on me."
And a bit about good ole George Washington:
Col George Eskridge came from Lancaster, England. In 1670, he was seized in Wales by Press Gang, who carried him aboard a ship bound for Virginia, where he was sold to a planter as an indentured servant for 8 years. When he was freed, he returned to England to get his Law Degree and then he came back to Northern Neck of Virginia, between the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers. He settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1696.
George was an eminent lawyer. He served 10 years in the House of Burgesses and was a member of Quoram & Kings Attorneys. His plantation of many thousands of acres (Land Grants(below) show 12, 644 acres), was called "Sandy Point", and was located on the Potomac River.
George played an important role in the life of our first President, George Washington. George Washington's mother was named Mary Ball. Her father called her his "Little Rose of Epping Forest". Mary's father died when she was 3 years old. Her mother died a few years later, and in her will she named George Eskridge as the guardian of Mary. Mary spent her childhood in the Eskridge home, and later married a neighbor, Augustine Washington. The wedding took place at "Sandy Point". When Mary's first child was born, he was named for her much loved guardian, George.
Col George Eskridge was neighbors and friends to the Washingtons, Lees, and Carters of Virginia. He was a Vestryman of Yeocomico Episcopal Church in Virginia. He was the first Eskridge to come to America. His portrait hung for several years at Mount Vernon Plantation, but is now in the Department of Archives of the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, Virginia. Further
reference to George Eskridge is in the Eskridge drawer in the Westmoreland County Museum, Virginia.
Written and Published in the book "Kin of my Grandchildren", by Judge Noble Littell
Colonel George Eskridge was reportedly shanghaied in his youth while walking along a wharf in England about 1670. He was brought to America and sold as an indentured servant. When his term expired, he returned to England, studied law, and came back to Virginia.
He was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses for many of the sessions from 1704 through 1734.
George Washington was very likely named for him, Douglas S. Freeman so stated in his biography of Washington.
Mary Hewes, (the mother of Mary Balland and Mary's older half-sister, Elizabeth Johnson, who married Samuel Bonum), named Colonel Eskridge as the guardian of Mary Ball (George Washington's mother). He served in this capacity from the time Mary was 13 years old, until she married Augustine Washington (George's father). Mary Ball was reared in the home of Colonel Eskridge and her marriage to Augustine Washington took place in Colonel Eskridge's home. It was George Eskridge who held their first born, as he was christened George Washington. A highway marker near Sandy Point, Westmoreland County, Virginia attests to this fact. Freeman commented that Colonel Eskridge was a lawyer of distinction, a land speculator of skill, and a gentleman of character. He was the father of six children by his first marriage (Rebecca Bonum).
