Gold Coin Of Jacques De Milly Master Of The Knights Of Rhodes 1454 1461
Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from la, aurum) and atomic number 79. This makes it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. It is a bright, slightly orange-yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal in a pure form. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions. Gold often occurs in free elemental (native state), as nuggets or grains, in rocks, veins, and alluvial deposits. It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum), naturally alloyed with other metals like copper and palladium, and mineral inclusions such as within pyrite. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium (gold tellurides). Gold is resistant to most acids, though it does dissolve in aqua regia (a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid), forming a soluble tetrachloroaurate anion. Gol ...

Jean De Lastic
Jean de Lastic was Grand Master of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller from 1437 until his death in 1454. Counted as the 35th Grand Master of the order (or the 36th if the partially recognized Riccardo Caracciolo is included), he was the first to actually use the title "Grand Master" (''Grandis Magister''). During his rule, in 1440, an Ottoman fleet attacking Rhodes was successfully repelled. During this time, the order was at the zenith of its power, and played a significant military role in the defense of the Mediterranean against Turkish encroachment.Robert Morris, ''Coins of the grand masters of the Order of Malta: or Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem'' (1884), p. 17, p. 61. His rule still saw the Fall of Constantinople of 1453, initiating a century of Ottoman naval dominance over the eastern Mediterranean. Under his successor, Jacques de Milly, the order was also divided by internal dispute. References External links Official website Grand Mast ...

15th-century French People
The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian dates from 1 January 1401 ( MCDI) to 31 December 1500 ( MD). In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period. Many technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can in retrospect be seen as heralding the "European miracle" of the following centuries. The architectural perspective, and the modern fields which are known today as banking and accounting were founded in Italy. The Hundred Years' War ended with a decisive French victory over the English in the Battle of Castillon. Financial troubles in England following the conflict resulted in the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic wars for the throne of England. The conflicts ended with the defeat of Richard III by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth Field, establishing the Tudor dynasty in the later part of the century. Constantinople, known as the capital of the world an ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
