Eparchy Of Lipljan
Eparchy of Lipljan, later known as the Eparchy of Gračanica or the Eparchy of Novo Brdo ( sr, Епархија липљанска / Eparhija lipljanska, sq, Eparkia e Lipjanit) is one of the former historical Eastern Orthodox eparchies of Serbian Orthodox located in the central parts of Kosovo region.. It is now part of Eparchy of Raška and Prizren. In older research, it was mistakenly identified as the bishopric of Ulpiana. History In older research, the toponym of Lipljan was linked to Ulpiana, an important city of Roman antiquity. Archaeological and historiographical research in the recent decades has ruled out any links between the two sites. Die anhand dieser historischen Eckdaten zu beschreibende Doppelstadt Ulpiana-Iustiniana Secunda wurde in der älteren Forschung unter Hinweis auf die Namensähnlichkeit fälschlicherweise mit der archäologisch eher unauffälligen Kleinstadt Lipjani/Lipljan gleichgesetzt.

Great Turkish War
The Great Turkish War (german: Großer Türkenkrieg), also called the Wars of the Holy League ( tr, Kutsal İttifak Savaşları), was a series of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy League consisting of the Holy Roman Empire, Poland-Lithuania, Venice, Russia, and Habsburg Hungary.

Initially, Louis XIV took advantage of the start of the war to extend Fra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
