September 22, 1162: The emperor Frederick I (1152–1190) in the east was making good the imperial claims on Arles. When the schism broke out, Louis VII took the part of the Pope Alexander III, the enemy of Frederick I, and after two comical failures of Frederick I to meet Louis VII at Saint Jean de Losne (on August 29, and September 22, 1162), Louis VII definitely gave himself up to the cause of Alexander III, who lived at Sens from 1163 to 1165. Alexander III gave the King, in return for his loyal support, the golden rose.
More importantly for French – and English – history would be his support for Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, whom he tried to reconcile with Henry II. Louis sided with Becket as much to damage Henry as out of piousness – yet even he grew irritated with the stubbornness of the archbishop, asking when Becket refused Henry's conciliations, "Do you wish to be more than a Saint?"
He also supported Henry's rebellious sons, and encouraged Plantagenet disunity by making Henry's sons, rather than Henry himself, the feudal overlords of the Angevin territories in France; but the rivalry amongst Henry's sons and Louis's own indecisiveness broke up the coalition (1173–1174) between them. Finally, in 1177, the Pope intervened to bring the two Kings to terms at Vitry-le-François.
In 1165, Louis' third wife bore him a son and heir, Philip II Augustus. Louis had him crowned at Reims in 1179, in the Capetian tradition (Philip would in fact be the last King so crowned). Already stricken with paralysis, King Louis VII himself could not be present at the ceremony. [1]
September 22, 1415: Henry V sailed for France, where his forces besieged the fortress at Harfleur, capturing it on September 22. Afterwards, Henry decided to march with his army across the French countryside towards Calais, despite the warnings of his council.[18] [2]
September 22, 1499: Switzerland gained de factor independence from the Holy Roman Empire. Jews begtan settling in Switzerland in the 13th century. During the first half of the 14th Century, the Jewish community of Basel was on the largest in Europe. However, during the last half of the 14th century and on 15th century, successive bans drove Jews from the homes in various cities and cantons. The bans were primarily caused charges of well poisoning tied the spread of the Black Death. By the time Switzerland gained her independence only a handful of Jews remained in this mountainous states. The Jewish population would not begi9n to grow again until the end of 18th.

Anne of Cleves (German: Anna; September 22, 1515[1] – July 16, 1557) was Queen of England from January 6, 1540 to July 9, 1540 as the fourth wife of King Henry VIII. The marriage was never consummated, and she was not crowned queen consort. Following the annulment of their marriage, Anne was given a generous settlement by the King, and thereafter referred to as the King's Beloved Sister. She lived to see the coronation of Mary I of England, outliving the rest of Henry's wives. [3]
September 22, 1521 : Selim I, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire passed away. Selim did away with the Law of No Return, the Roman ban on Jews living in Eretz Israel. The ban was in force until the 16th century. Limits on Jewish immigration would reappear with the British White Paper. Like many other members of Ottoman royalty, Selim employed a Jewish physician.[4]
1521-1526: From 1521 to 1566 Suleiman led the empire as Sultan, a title given to the ruler of Muslim countries. Under Suleiman the Ottoman Empire reached its height of its power and prestige. Unlike other rulers of the day, he allowed his conquered subjects continue worshiping as they had, as long as they remained loyal. [5]

Louise of Savoy (September 11, 1476 – September 22, 1531) was a French noblewoman, Duchess regnant of Auvergne and Bourbon, Duchess of Nemours, the mother of King Francis I of France. She was politically active and served as the Regent of France in 1515, in 1525–1526 and in 1529.
Family and early life
Louise of Savoy was born at Pont-d'Ain, the eldest daughter of Philip II, Duke of Savoy and his first wife, Margaret of Bourbon. Her brother, Philibert II, Duke of Savoy, succeeded her father as ruler of the duchy and head of the House of Savoy. He was, in turn, succeeded by their half-brother Charles III, Duke of Savoy.
Because her mother died when she was only seven, she was brought up by Anne de Beaujeu,[1] who was regent of France for her brother Charles VIII. At Amboise she met Margaret of Austria, who was betrothed to the young king and with whom Louise would negotiate peace several decades later.[2]
Death
Louise of Savoy died on September 22, 1531, in Grez-sur-Loing. According to legend, she had felt a chill while watching a comet. [1] Her remains were entombed at Saint-Denis in Paris. After her death her lands, including Auvergne, merged in the crown. Through her daughter Margaret of Angoulême and her granddaughter Jeanne d'Albret, she is the ancestress of the Bourbon kings of France, as her great-grandson, Henry of Navarre, succeeded as Henry IV of France.

In the course of September, M. de Mauvissière leaves England ; but, before setting out, he obtains from Elizabeth a promise that the Queen of Scots shall be removed from Tutbury to a more healthy and convenient residence. Mary takes advantage of the departure of M. de Mauvissière, to send by him the letters which she had prepared and addressed to
the King and Queen of France, Catherine of Médicis, and the Duke of Guise. But all these letters passed through the hands of Walsingham. [10]

September 22, 1761: King George III (1760 - 1820)
King George III
Name: King George III
Full Name: George William Frederick
Born: June 4, 1738 at Norfolk House, St. James Square, London
Parents: Frederick Prince of Wales, and Augusta of Saxe-Gotha
Relation to Elizabeth II: 3rd great-grandfather
House of: Hanover
Ascended to the throne: October 25, 1760 aged 22 years
Crowned: September 22, 1761 at Westminster Abbey
Married: Charlotte, daughter of Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
Children: Ten sons including George IV and William IV, and six daughters
Died: January 29, 1820 at Windsor Castle, aged 81 years, 7 months, and 24 days
Buried at: Windsor
Reigned for: 59 years, 3 months, and 2 days
Succeeded by: his son George IV
George III, unlike his father and grandfather, was born in England. He became heir to the throne when his father
Frederick, Prince of Wales, died in 1751 from a lung abscess (believed to be caused by a blow on the chest
from a cricket ball) before he could succeed his father. George was shy and stubborn but well educated in
science and arts. He became King George III in 1760 following the death of his grandfather. In 1761, after
an official search for a suitable wife, he married Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz whom he first met
on his wedding day. The couple enjoyed a happy marriage and he never took a mistress. They had 16 children
including George (later George IV) and William (who became William IV) and they were married for 57 years.
In 1762 he purchased Buckingham House in London which later became Buckingham Palace. George had high
moral standards, and appalled by the loose morals of his brothers introduced the Royal Marriage Act in 1772 which
made it illegal for members of the Royal Family to marry without the consent of the Sovereign. He was interested in
agricultural improvement, and during his reign there were advances in manufacturing mechanisation including the
spinning frame and steam engine.
George was determined to be thrifty with his own and public expenses. He handed Parliament the right of income
from Crown Estates in return for a Civil List annuity for the support of his household and expenses, an arrangement
that continues today. Britain had been fighting a colonial war against France since 1756 with military success but at
high financial cost. George appointed Lord Bute to negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1762 to end the Seven years war.
This caused patriotic outrage for the concessions it gave to the French including the rights of French colonists in
North America to remain in Quebec and New Orleans. Lord North became Prime Minister determined to make the
colonies pay for their own security. The Stamp Act of 1765 levied a tax on every official document in the British
colonies and high customs duties introduced. These were mostly repealed in the face of American protests, with
the exception of the tax on tea. In 1773 colonists threw chests of tea overboard in Boston harbour in a protest know
as the ‘Boston tea party’.
The American War of Independence began in April 1775 when colonists fought British troops at Lexington. George
Washington was appointed commander of the Continental Army. On July 4, 1776 the Continental Congress under
leadership of John Hancock declared independence. Fighting continued until 1781 when the British were defeated
by Americans and French at Yorktown. In the Treaty of Paris in 1783 Britain agreed to recognise American
independence. King George took the loss badly and considered abdication before facing the political and
military realities. 1788 he suffered his first attack of insanity (now believed to be the result of the inherited
disease porphyria) which was to plague him for the rest of his life. His son George, Prince of Wales, was made
temporary regent an arrangement which became permanent in 1810.
In 1789 France was shaken by revolution and King Louis XVI guillotined in 1793. Britain was once more at war
with France. Attempted revolution by Catholics and French troops in Ireland was crushed and eventually union
with Ireland was passed in 1801. By 1803 Napoleon Bonaparte was assembling a fleet for the invasion of England,
but the French fleet was defeated by Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle Trafalgar in 1805. Napoleon defeated the
Russians at Austerlitz but was forced to withdraw from Moscow by the Russian winter. The battles continued with
the Peninsular War in which the British fought to drive the French from Spain. Napoleon was eventually defeated
by British and German forces at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. George III died at Windsor Castle on January 29
1820, after a reign of almost 60 years - the third longest in British history, and was succeeded by his son George IV.

Washington persisted in his attempts to secure the military bounty lands. In 1769, Governor Botetourt of Virginia at last gave him permission to seek out a qualified surveyor and to notify all claimants that surveying would proceed. Once the surveying was completed the land could be divided among the remaining Virginia Regiment veterans or their heirs. Washington arranged to have Crawford appointed the "Surveyor of the Soldiers Land." In the fall of 1770 Washington, Crawford, and a fellow veteran named Dr. James Craik set out from Fort Pitt by canoe to explore possible sites for the bounty lands, making notes and observations as they journeyed to the junction of the Ohio and Great Kanawha Rivers and several miles up the Great Kanawha.
The next year, Crawford began to survey the tracts he and Washington had identified on the Great Kanawha expedition. Eight of these tracts are shown on a composite map now in the collections of the Geography and Map Division that Washington drew in1774 from Crawford's surveys. Out of a total of 64,071 acres apportioned on the map, 19,383, or approximately 30 percent, were patented in Washington's name. In a 1794 letter to Presley Neville, Washington said that these lands were "the cream of the Country in which they are; that they were the first choice of it; and that the whole is on the margin of the Rivers and bounded thereby for 58 miles."13In addition to Washington's acreage the map shows the lands surveyed and apportioned to other Virginia Regiment members, including Colonel Joshua Fry, Colonel Adam Stephen, Dr. James Craik, George Mercer, George Muse, Colonel Andrew Lewis, Captain Peter Hog, Jacob Van Braam, and John West. Several of these individuals were distinguished in their own right. Joshua Fry, for example, was one half of the team which produced the well-known 1755 Map of Inhabited Parts of the State of Virginia, considered to be one of the finest examples of colonial mapping; Jacob Van Braam had bn Washington's interpreter at Fort Necessity in the French and Indian War; and Dr. James Craik was Washington's lifelong friend and physician.[19]

September 22, 1777: REPLIES PROM THE DELAWARES
[David Zeisberger to Gen. Edward Hand. IU99.]
CUCHACHUNK (59) Septr. 22d, 1777.
May it please your Excellency:
Sir,—-As Capt. White Eye will endeavour to try if he can get this Letter to the fort, I inclose here a Letter to the Honble. Congress because I suppose according to the account we had that Mi’. Morgan by this Time had left the Fort. Capt. White Eye & the Councellors Are very sorry that the Communication and Correspondence with you is stopped & they shall hear Nothing now from you not knowing in what Condition they are and what they have to expect, because we heard that the White People would come & attack Cuchachunk & the delaware Towns which has set all the Indians in Consternation & fear, expecting every day that they will be upon them. A late Report we had that the white People were already on their March hither caused our Indians at Gnadenhutten6° to fly & left their Town and we are now altogether here nigh Cuchachunk. Therefore, pray Sir, let us know if we the Christian Indians, or the Delawares are in any Danger, & if we have any Thing to fear of the white People. I cannot leave my People the Christian Indians for I see it before hand that they all will be scattered if I leave them & the Brethren’s Labour which they so many Years and with so much Difficulty have continued with success would be entirely lost. I venture my Life & am resolved to hold out with them relying next [to] our Lord & blessed
- Saviour on your Protection & Assistance. I hope you will reniember us, & as much as lies in your Power to assist us that we may be able to keep our Ground & remain in Possession of our Towns. Capt. White Eyes and the Delaware Chiefs are yet determined to stand fast and not to meddle with the War, they want to live in friendship with the white People if they only knew that the white People has no bad design against them. As long as they remain quiet and peaceable I with my People shall keep with or nigh them, but should we see that they drop the friendship, then we should be obliged to seperate ourselves from them. But when they hear they have nothing to fear of the white People it will cheer up their spirits & be quiet. The Wiondots & Mingoes are all gone home again according to their Knowledge they killed 14 People at Weelunk, had one Wiondat killed & 6 or 7 Wounded one of the last died since. Wiondoughwalind’s[28] son & another of his Company are badly wounded & it is said will hardly live. Both Capt’. At present we know that 40 of the Wiondats are gone it is said to Weelunk of any more that are out we know not. From Sandusky we hear that at Detroit they were gathering Men to meet the army which they expect to come up there. Pray let me know if possible with this opportunity if Messengers could come safe to the fort, & if it was dangerous for Indians perhaps we could send a white Man in Case of Necessity that we might hear from one another I am Sir yr most Hble. Servt.

CUCHACHUNK September. 22d, 1777
Capt. White Eyes Message to the Honble. Congress of the thirteen United States
.
BR0THER,—When I was at Pittsburgh last I acquainted Mr. Morgan of all what passed in the Indian Country, that the Wiondats, Mingoes and others were coming to strike our Brethren the Virginians, & that it was no more in my Power to stop them, that they would march by Cuchachunk, as they also did, and we could not hinder it because they were too strong.
I informed M’. Morgan that Wiondoughwalind with his Men had joined them. They marched from hence to the fort at Weelunk, from whence they returned again, where they told the White People that they came from Cuchachunk.
Brother, As I see the dark Clouds arising over my head, I still hold fast to the chain of friendship, and now more than ever, But since the Battle at Weelunk it seems by the account we had, as if you would drop the friendship, because you heard that these Warriors had said, they came from Cuchachunk, ‘tho I told you before hand that their Chief Design was to bring the White People upon us to strike us.
Brother, We agreed with one another to hold fast & keep bright the Chain of friendship which our ancestors have made, and as a token that my heart was good and upright, I left two of my Men at the fort to keep the road open between us & you, that we might hear from one another.
Brother. I choose Mr. Morgan to transact Business & to assist us in the good Work of Peace & friendship & I always found him to be true upright & faithful. I also believe you know him likewise to be so, Let us therefore not drop our friendship for the sake of a bad Word of some foolish People. It is a Work of great Importance which the Honble. Congress of the thirteen United States has undertaken and continued until now. I should be very sorry that our Communication with one another should be stopped entirely.
Brother. We made out with one another, that if an Army should march in the Indian Country it should take its march above & below our Towns that our Women & Children might remain quiet & not be too much frightened, which I hope you will remember and order it to be done according to our agreement.
This is all Brother, I have to say at present, pray let us hear an answer from you as soon as possible. Your Sincere friend & Brother,
WHITE EYE.[30]

September 22, 1779: Mi'kmaw historian Daniel Paul notes many individual Mi'kmaq did indeed volunteer and serve with the Continental army as per the terms of the Treaty. However the Signators who signed on were representing their Districts only; its part of Mi'kmaq Treaty protocol that each District was Sovereign and could sign Nation to Nation agreements; then they would return home to present the agreements to the Mi'kmaq Grand Council, the Council of Women and finally to all citizens, which if consensus occurred, the newly signed Treaty would be ratified District by District. The Watertown Treaty was never fully ratified by all Mi'kmaq First Nation Districts until modern times. What circumvented this process of coming to consensus and ratifying the Watertown Treaty as a whole in 1776 is unknown. (It is also noteworthy that one Mi'kmaq District—in New Brunswick—was pressured by the British into signing a treaty of alliance with them on September 22, 1779.[3])
The Treaty of Watertown is still honoured today : all Mi'kmaq citizens are allowed to join the US Armed Forces, regardless of the Nation of their birth. These warriors who have gone to Iraq and Afghanistan, and many other places around the world are celebrated.[32]

September 22, 1842: Duel-y noted: Lincoln's time in Madison County was marked by a swordfight and a great debate

Statues mark the
site where Lincoln and Douglas debated in Alton. STEVE NAGY/BND
http://media.bnd.com/smedia/2013/11/05/10/33/1pBEUv.AuHi.98.jpg
Long before Abraham Lincoln became the 16th president of the United States, he frequented Madison County.
Donald Winkler, an author and Lincoln expert, said that in the early 1840s the young lawyer "rode the circuit in Illinois twice a year, traveling from courthouse to courthouse for three months in the spring and three months in the fall." These trips included stops in Madison County where Lincoln worked as an attorney for a railroad based in Alton.
Later, in 1858, Lincoln debated political rival Sen. Stephen A. Douglas in Alton, the last of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates that helped make Lincoln a national figure.
But Lincoln's most sensational trip to Madison County and the metro-east came in September 1842 when Illinois Auditor James Shields challenged him to a duel.
While history largely forgot the event, Lincoln experts say it might have been responsible for a key change in Lincoln's demeanor that eventually made him successful in politics.
According to James E. Myers, author of "The Astonishing Saber Duel of Abraham Lincoln,'' the dispute centered on a series of anonymous letters to the Springfield newspaper, the Sangamon Journal. The letters were extremely critical of Shields on a professional and personal level. The auditor believed Lincoln or his future wife, Mary Todd, wrote the criticisms and sought a chance to get even.
The letters attributed to the future president called Shields a liar on political matters and mocked his personality and his appearance.
Lincoln allegedly penned a sarcastic note in the voice of Shields after the auditor appeared at a county fair where several eligible single women were available for courting.
"Dear girls, it is distressing, but I cannot marry you all," Lincoln allegedly wrote. "Too well I know how much you suffer; but do, do remember, it is not my fault that I am so handsome and so interesting."
The meeting between Shields and Lincoln was set for Sept. 22 on Sunflower Island, a popular dueling spot in the middle of the Mississippi River. Now the island is a wildlife refuge and part of the Missouri bank of the river.
In 1842, the island was situated toward the Missouri bank of the river, which put it outside the reach of Illinois law. Dueling was deemed illegal in Illinois in 1839.
Shields, who was both short-tempered and short in stature, decided the only way to resolve the issue about the letters was the duel. Lincoln knew that, in that era, he would lose face politically if he declined. So he accepted and, as the person who received the challenge, was allowed to choose the weapons and ground rules for the duel.
Lincoln took advantage of his size by requesting cavalry broad swords as the weapon for the duel and decided the men would be required to stay on their side of a line drawn on the ground.
Just before the duel was to start, Lincoln, who had been making a show of his superior reach by flamboyantly spinning around while slashing with his sword, approached the line. He reached out with his long arm and slashed down a branch from a low hanging tree just over Shields' head.
Suddenly realizing he had no chance for any outcome other than his own slaughter, Shields agreed to make peace.
Many have speculated what would have happened if Lincoln, the man who 20 years later would fight the Civil War in order to hold the United States together and lead the successful effort to ban slavery in the United States, had been killed in 1842.
But Shields might have turned the tide of the Civil War in the other direction just as easily. While Lincoln never would be in a duel again, a story in the magazine Civil War Times indicates that Shields was challenged to a duel in 1850 by future Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis. The men were able to settle their dispute without facing off in mortal combat.
During the Civil War, Shields was nominated as a brigadier general in the Union Army. Lincoln, who had the final say on the issue, gave consent.
Some say the episode with Shields helped Lincoln shed a confrontational attitude and become more of a consensus builder, a trait that served him well in politics.
Lincoln returned to Alton in October 1858 for the last of seven debates with Douglas. Lincoln was the Republican candidate for U.S. senator; Douglas the Democratic incumbent. The primary focus of the verbal battle was the issue of slavery, which threatened to divide the country.
Douglas argued the country could continue forever divided into free and slave states. But Lincoln argued that, regardless of how badly Southerners wanted to keep the institution of slavery, it was immoral and should be abolished.
Douglas won the Senate election in 1858. Two years later, Lincoln was elected president and he presided during the Civil War, trying to hold the Union together while abolishing slavery across the country.
According to Winkler, while Lincoln wanted to be remembered for leaving a positive mark on his country and mankind, he never forgot his bloodless duel with a political foe.
Said Lincoln: "If all the good things I have ever done are remembered as long and as well as my scrape with Shields, it is plain I shall not be forgotten." [41]

September 22, 1862
President Lincoln issues a preliminary Emanicipation Proclamation, calling for all slaves within areas under rebellion to be free on January 1, 1863.[43] The Emancipation Proclamation, announced on September 22, 1862, and put into effect on January 1, 1863, freed slaves in territories not already under Union control. As Union armies advanced south, more slaves were liberated until all of them in Confederate territory (over three million) were freed. Lincoln later said: "I never, in my life, felt more certain that I was doing right, than I do in signing this paper." The proclamation made the abolition of slavery in the rebel states an official war goal. Lincoln later sought to incorporate the proclamation into the Constitution through passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, permanently abolishing slavery throughout the nation.[171] He personally lobbied individual Congressmen for the Amendment, which was passed by the Congress in early 1865, shortly before his death.[172] A few days after the Emancipation was announced, thirteen Republican governors met at the War Governors' Conference; they supported the president's Proclamation, but suggested the removal of General George B. McClellan as commander of the Union Army.[173] For some time, Lincoln continued earlier plans to set up colonies for the newly freed slaves. He commented favorably on colonization in the Emancipation Proclamation, but all attempts at such a massive undertaking failed. As Frederick Douglass observed, Lincoln was, "The first great man that I talked with in the United States freely who in no single instance reminded me I was a Negro."[174][44]
Fall 1862 and Spring 1863: The 18th Virginia Cavalry was organized by General John D. Imboden in the fall of 1862 and spring 1863. Many of its members—the Godloves included—had served in units formed the 1st Partisan Rangers (which became the 62nd Mounted Infantry). [45]

1864 Valley Campaign
In the midst of the 1864 Valley Campaign, Woodstock bore witness to the horrors of war. Plagued by raiding parties of Confederate partisan rangers, guerrillas and bushwhackers, Union General Philip H. Sheridan issued orders by mid-August to execute anyone captured wearing civilian clothes and carrying a weapon.
While pursuing Jubal Early's retreating Confederate army from the Battle of Fisher's Hill, elements of Brigadier Gen. George A. Custer's Michigan Cavalry Brigade entered Woodstock on September 23, and captured 39 year-old Davy Getz, armed with a squirrel rifle, in the woods near town.
A rope was tied around Getz's neck, and he was made to walk behind Custer's headquarters wagon as it moved south along the Valley Turnpike (U.S. Route 11). Several men of the town, including merchant Adolph Heller, followed and pleaded with Custer that Getz had the mind of a child and did not know what he was doing. The pleas to the young brigadier fell on deaf ears. Finally, Heller admonished Custer saying, "You will have to sleep in a bloody grave for this." Getz was executed near Dayton in Rockingham County on October 2, 1864.
Five days later, Federal troops reentered the town and began laying waste as part of the infamous "Burnings." A portion of Col. Thomas Devin's Brigade of the 1st U.S. Cavalry

Division, the 19th New York Cavalry, destroyed the railroad depot, warehouses, a locomotive and three boxcars on the siding. Steady winds came up and soon ignited fires in barns and haystacks on the outskirts of town. Not intending to fire those particular properties, two Union regiments dismounted and assisted in extinguishing the flames.
That evening Sheridan wrote Gen. Ulysses Grant from Woodstock reporting that the destruction of the Valley had reached from mountain to mountain in Augusta County to the south, and would continue the next day to Strasburg in the north.
