William Cragh
William Cragh () was a medieval Welsh warrior and supporter of Rhys ap Maredudd, lord of the lands of Ystrad Tywi, in his rebellion against King Edward I of England. Captured in 1290 by the son of William deBriouze, the Cambro-Norman Lord of Gower, he was tried and found guilty of having killed thirteen men. Cragh was hanged just outside Swansea within sight of deBriouze's Swansea Castle, twice, as the gallows collapsed during his first hanging. Lady Mary deBriouze interceded on Cragh's behalf and prayed to the deceased Bishop of Hereford, Thomas de Cantilupe, requesting him to ask God to bring Cragh back from the dead. Cragh began to show signs of life the day after his execution and over the subsequent few weeks made a full recovery, living at least another eighteen years. The main primary source for Cragh's story is the record of the investigation into the canonisation of Thomas de Cantilupe, which is held in the Vatican Library. Cragh's resurrection was one of thirty-e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cathal Carragh Ua Conchobair
Cathal Carrach Ua Conchobair, anglicised as Cathal Carragh O'Conor, was king of Connacht from 1189 to 1202. One of the seven sons of King Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Conchobair, his nickname ''carragh'' ('scabby') suggests he had some sort of skin disease. The identities of his mother and wife are unknown. He first came to prominence during the ''war of the rigdamnae'' in 1185, supporting his father in a three-way contest against Conchobair's father, King Ruaidhri of Connacht, and Ruaidhri's brother, Cathal Crobderg Ua Conchobair. After his father's assassination in 1189, Cathal hunted down and killed the instigator, the mysterious Conchobar ua nDiarmata. Cathal became king but faced contention from Cathal Crobderg; the dynastic in-fighting aided the introduction of Anglo-Norman forces west of the Shannon, who were employed by both men. Cathal was killed in battle at Corr Sliaib in the Curlew Mountains in 1202. He was survived by at least one son, Melaghlin, who was killed ten years ...

Amlaíb Cenncairech
Amlaíb Cenncairech was a Norse ruler and presumably King of Limerick notable for his military activities in Ireland in the 930s, especially in the province of Connacht and apparently even in Ulster and Leinster. This period, the 920s and 930s, is commonly regarded as the very height of Norse power in Ireland, and was when Limerick essentially equalled Dublin in power. His epithet ''Cennc(h)airech'' is commonly translated into the unflattering "Scabby-Head" but this may be inaccurate. The adjective ''cairech'' actually means, according to the ''Dictionary of the Irish Language'', "criminal; guilty; sinful", and thus ''Cennc(h)airech'' may be translated "Sinful Head". Career Amlaíb is mentioned by name only in the ''Annals of the Four Masters'' and ''Annals of Clonmacnoise''. Historians believe the dating in both cases is off. In general, the sources for western Ireland's history are not great. The ''Chronicon Scotorum'' records several of the same and related events but does n ...

Peibio Clafrog
Peibo Clafrog (alternatively, Pepiau Glavorawc, or in Latin, Pepianus Spumosus), was King of Ergyng in south-east Wales in the 5th or 6th century. He is chiefly known from the legends of Saint Dubricius, who was supposedly his grandson. The contemporary rendering of this name would seem to be Peibio, as in Garthbeibio, a parish in Montgomeryshire, or Ynys Beibio, near Holyhead. ''Life of Dubricius'' Peibo Clafrog appears in the ''Life of Dubricius'' included in the 12th-century Book of Llandaff or ''Liber Landavensis'' as well as in a number of works derived from it, and in charters associated with Dubricius. He is consistently described as Dubricius' maternal grandfather. In the ''Life'', Peibio is King of Ergyng and has a daughter, Efrddyl. He is afflicted with a mouth ailment that causes him to drivel saliva constantly. This is supposed to be the cause of his epithet ''Clafrog'', though this term literally means "scabby" or "leprous"; there has evidently been some confusion wit ...

Inflatable Rat
Inflatable rats, or union rats, are giant inflatables in the shape of cartoon rats, commonly used in the United States by protesting or striking trade unions. They serve as a sign of opposition against employers or nonunion contractors, and are intended to call public attention to companies employing nonunion labor. History The first known inflatable rat was used by the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 in Plainfield, Illinois in 1989, according to photos from the ''Local 150 Engineer'' in November 1989, where it also launched a "Name the Rat" contest. In January of 1990, it announced that "Scabby" was the winning submission, coming from Local 150 member Lou Mahieu. Other unions also began using inflatable rats in the 1990s to shame companies that employ nonunion labor. Employers have filed lawsuits charging that the use of the giant inflatable rats constituted unlawful picketing, and some courts have agreed. In May 2011, the National Labor Relations Board (N ...

Orf (disease)
Orf is a farmyard pox, a type of zoonosis. It causes small pustules in the skin of primarily sheep and goats, but can also occur on the hands of humans. A pale halo forms around a red centre. It may persist for several weeks before crusting and then either resolves or leaves a hard lump. There is usually only one lesion, but there may be many, and they are not painful. Sometimes there are swollen lymph glands. It is caused by a ''Parapoxvirus''. It can occur in humans who handle infected animals or contaminated objects. One third of cases may develop erythema multiforme. Once resolved, a person can still be infected again. Generally, treatment options are limited. Injecting the lesion with cidofovir or applying imiquimod has been tried. It is sometimes necessary to cut them out. The vaccine used in sheep to prevent orf is live and has been known to cause disease in humans. The disease is endemic in livestock herds worldwide. A recent outbreak emerged in southwest Ethiopia betw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
