Constantine Diogenes (son Of Romanos IV)
Constantine Diogenes ( gr, Κωνσταντίνος Διογένης; died 1073) was one of the sons of Byzantine Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes (reigned 1068–1071). He was a son of Romanos with his unnamed first wife, a daughter of Alusian, and hence excluded from the line of succession when his father married the empress-dowager Eudokia Makrembolitissa in 1068. He was named after his grandfather, general Constantine Diogenes (died 1032). The then ''kouropalatissa'' Anna Dalassene (later, regent of the empire), wife of the brother of the late Emperor Isaac I Komnenos, despised the Doukas imperial family. According to perceptions of Anna Dalassene, the Doukas men had usurped the imperial dignity by tricking emperor Isaac into resigning and her husband, the ''kouropalates'' John Komnenos, into refusing the throne. Anna Dalassene expected the Doukas men to lead the country to military problems. Consequently, Anna Dalassene plotted with Romanos Diogenes and others to push the undera ...

Uroš I Of Rascia
__NOTOC__ Uroš ( sr-Cyrl, Урош) is a South Slavic given or last name primarily spread amongst Serbs, and Slovenians (mostly of Serbian descent). This noun has been interpreted as "lords", because it usually appears in conjunction with ''velmõžie'' () "magnates", as in the phrase "magnates and lords". The noun was probably borrowed from the Hungarian word ''úr'', "master" or "lord". The suffix ''-oš'' in ''uroš'' is found in a number of Slavic given or last names, particularly those of the Croats, Serbs, Czechs, and Poles. The name may refer to: * Several kings and tsars called '' Stefan Uroš'' * Grand Prince Uroš I (1112-1145) * Grand Prince Uroš II Prvoslav (1145–1162) * Uroš Golubović, footballer * Uroš Spajić, footballer * Uroš Stamatović, footballer * Uroš Slokar, basketballer * Uroš Tripković, basketballer * Uroš Predić, painter * Uroš Knežević, painter * Uroš Đurić, painter and actor * Uroš Lajovic, conductor * Uroš Dojčinović, guita ...

Third Crusade
The Third Crusade (1189–1192) was an attempt by three European monarchs of Western Christianity (Philip II of France, Richard I of England and Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor) to reconquer the Holy Land following the capture of Jerusalem by the Ayyubid sultan Saladin in 1187. For this reason, the Third Crusade is also known as the Kings' Crusade. It was partially successful, recapturing the important cities of Acre and Jaffa, and reversing most of Saladin's conquests, but it failed to recapture Jerusalem, which was the major aim of the Crusade and its religious focus. After the failure of the Second Crusade of 1147–1149, the Zengid dynasty controlled a unified Syria and engaged in a conflict with the Fatimid rulers of Egypt. Saladin ultimately brought both the Egyptian and Syrian forces under his own control, and employed them to reduce the Crusader states and to recapture Jerusalem in 1187. Spurred by religious zeal, King Henry II of England and King Philip II of F ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
