# Jean de Poitiers

Jean de Poitiers, Lord of Saint Vallier (c. 1475 – 1529) was a French nobleman best known as the father of Diane de Poitiers, mistress of King Henry II of France.

## Early life

He was the son of Aymar de Poitiers, Marquis of Cotron, and Jeanne de La Tour d'Auvergne.
His maternal grandparents were Bertrand VI, Count of Auvergne and Louise de La Trémoille. His maternal aunt, Anne de la Tour d'Auvergne, was the second wife of Alexander Stewart, Duke of Albany (the Scottish prince and second surviving son of King James II of Scotland) and his uncle, John IV, Count of Auvergne, was the maternal grandfather of Queen Catherine de' Medici (wife of King Henry II of France).

## Plot against Francis I

In 1523 he was implicated in a plot against King Francis I of France, discovered by his son-in-law Louis de Brézé, seigneur d'Anet, and in 1524 he was condemned to death, but reprieved by the king. He was imprisoned in the French castle of Loches and was released in 1526. He died three years later, in 1529.

### In popular culture

His story was the inspiration for a character in Victor Hugo's 1832 play Le roi s'amuse who became Count Monterone when Francesco Maria Piave and Giuseppe Verdi relocated the plot of their 1851 opera Rigoletto from France to the Duchy of Mantua.

## Personal life

Poitiers married Jeanne de Batarnay, a daughter of Imbert de Batarnay and Georgette de Montchenu. Together, they lived at the Château de Saint-Vallier in Drôme and were the parents of:
* Anne de Poitiers (1489–c. 1539), who married Antoine II de Clermont, son of Louis, Baron and Viscount de Clermont-en-Dauphiné and Catherine Artaud de Montauban.
* Françoise de Poitiers (b. 1499), who married Antoine III de Clermont, 1st Count of Clermont-Tonnerre, son of Bernardin de Clermont Tonnerre and Françoise de Sassenage.

# Edward White (composer)

Edward George White (21 August 1910 – 1994) was a British composer of light music, whose compositions including "The Runaway Rocking-Horse" (1946), "Paris Interlude" (1952), "Puffin' Billy" (1952) and the signature tune for The Telegoons (1963), became familiar as radio and television theme tunes.
White was born in London, England, and was largely self-taught. He became a violinist in a trio and various dance bands, performing also on saxophone and clarinet. He became known as an arranger of music and, after service in the RAF during World War II, he ran a ballroom orchestra at the Grand Spa Hotel in Bristol. In 1961, the first stereophonic single ever released in the UK, was billed as 'The Sound of Ed White', playing "Coral Reef" and "Tropical Blue". This was released by Pye Records.

## "Puffin' Billy"

"Puffin' Billy" (1952) is perhaps his most familiar composition, especially in the original recording by Hubert Clifford and the Melodi Light Orchestra. The piece was inspired by an old steam locomotive called "Puffing Billy" (not the locomotive in the London Science Museum), seen by the composer while on holiday on the Isle of Wight. The piece was used as the signature tune for the BBC Light Programme's Children's Favourites, a radio request programme, from 1952 to 1966.
In the United States it was used for an even longer period of time (1955–1974) as the theme music to Captain Kangaroo on the CBS TV network. When a new theme song for Captain Kangaroo was used as "Good Morning, Captain", a portion of the "Puffing Billy" theme was used, played by strings, so that the theme trademark could live on through the next generations. In 1957, permission was granted for Mary Rodgers to write lyrics to the tune and the vocal version was given the title "Captain Kangaroo".
"Puffin' Billy" has often been used to signify 1950s Middle England, for example in The Comic Strip's parodies of The Famous Five, in some of the last cigar adverts on British TV in the early 1990s, and in a trailer for a 2004 Channel 4 documentary about anti-asylum-seeker demonstrators in Lee-on-the-Solent.
"Puffin' Billy" was featured in the Pixar short Tin Toy.

## "The Runaway Rocking-Horse"

"The Runaway Rocking-Horse" (1946) was another White novelty tune used as the theme tune for the filmed U.S. television series Life with Buster Keaton (1951 - 1952).

# Alfred Liskow

Alfred Liskow (also spelled Liskov or Liskof; first name sometimes given as Albert; Russian: Альфред Германович Лисков, romanized: Alfred Germanovich Liskov; 1910 – unknown) was a German soldier and deserter who swam across the Bug River at 9:00 pm on the eve of Operation Barbarossa near Sokal, just north of Lwow, in 1941 to warn the Red Army of imminent attack the next morning.

## Early life

Alfred Liskow was born in 1910. Before joining the German military in 1939, he worked as a furniture maker at a furniture factory in Kolberg. He was a dedicated Communist and at one point a member of the Roter Frontkämpferbund.

## Military career

Liskow served at Infantry Regiment 222 of the 75th Infantry Division stationed on the eve of the invasion north to the town Sokal (north to Lwow). After learning about Germany's plans to invade the Soviet Union, he left his military unit to warn the Soviets. He swam across the Bug river on 21 June 1941 and surrendered to the Soviet border patrol soldiers of the 90th Border Unit at about 9:00 pm. During questioning, he said that at dawn on 22 June, the German Wehrmacht would attack.

### Defection

After his defection, the Soviet authorities used Liskow for their propaganda. One of the quotes attributed to him was "I am from a family of workers, from Kolberg. My parents and I hate Hitler and his regime. For us, the USSR is a friendly country, and we don't want to fight with the Soviet people. There are many such families in Germany. They don't want a war with you." Despite this, he was arrested in January 1942 and sent to a Soviet prisoner camp. During his time in prison, Liskow showed signs of mental illness, though it is unclear if such mental illness was real. Liskow was rehabilitated on 16 July 1942 and sent to Siberia, where all traces of him were lost. It is believed that Liskow died in unknown circumstances near Novosibirsk in late 1943; however, this has never been confirmed.
Stalin later ordered the execution of a German deserter for "misinformation", though it is unclear if this refers to Liskow or another German deserter.

# Hawke Bay

Hawke Bay (Māori: Te Matau-a-Māui), formerly named Hawke's Bay, is a large bay on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, surrounded by the Hawke's Bay region. It stretches from Māhia Peninsula in the northeast to Cape Kidnappers / Te Kauwae-a-Māui in the southwest, a distance of some 90 kilometres (56 mi).
Captain James Cook, sailing in HMS Endeavour, entered the bay on 12 October 1769. After exploring it, he named it for Sir Edward Hawke, First Lord of the Admiralty, on 15 October 1769, describing it as some 13 leagues (about 40 miles (64 km)) across. Hawke had decisively defeated the French at the Battle of Quiberon Bay in 1759.
This part of the New Zealand coast is subject to tectonic uplift, with the land being raised out of the sea. For this reason, the coastal land in this area has significant marine deposits, with both marine and land dinosaur fossils having been found inland. The Napier earthquake of 3 February 1931 resulted in several parts of the seabed close to the city of Napier being raised above sea level. Because the central mountain ranges come close to the coast at the north end of the bay, much of the bay's northerly coastline has deeply eroded tablelands that end in steep seaside cliffs which descend to narrow beaches.
Despite the bay being renamed Hawke Bay, without an apostrophe, the region surrounding it continues to bear the former name of Hawke's Bay. Several medium-sized towns are located in the immediate surrounds of the bay, including Wairoa at the mouth of the Wairoa River and its flood plain in the north, the so-called 'twin cities' of Napier and Hastings in the south, and the town of Havelock North slightly further inland. Napier Port serves as the main export port for the region, and is the second largest in the North Island by tonnage.
