# Vasilisa Melentyeva

Vasilisa Melentyeva (Russian: Васили́са Меле́нтьева) was the legendary or real sixth wife of Ivan the Terrible. The marriage (not authorized by the Church) may have been celebrated in 1575 or she was simply a concubine. Modern scholars now tend to consider her to be a 19th-century fraud.

## Life

Vasilisa was either a Ukrainian or a Georgian slave at the court of Ivan. After the end of his fifth marriage, Ivan wanted to marry again and have more children to secure the future of the dynasty. Ivan saw Vasilisa, freed her from slavery and married her, elevating her from a simple slave to a Russian Tsaritsa.
Ivan admired Vasilisa for her beauty and grace and Vasilisa was the only consort of Ivan that he actually loved since the death of his beloved first wife, Anastasia Romanovna. It is historically unclear whether Vasilisa betrayed Ivan or had a lover or not. However, unfortunately for her, Ivan divorced Vasilisa and sent her to a monastery, the usual place where unfavored Russian royal consorts were kept in a form of house arrest. Vasilisa did not stay in the monastery for long. She may have died in the monastery, or escaped from Russia.
According to another legend, before her marriage to Ivan, Vasilisa is on record to have been a widow of a dyak, Melentiy Ivanov, serving in the Livonian War. Though the Tsar considered her beautiful and sweet natured, a few months after their marriage, he discovered her having an affair with a prince named Devletev. Ivan forced Vasilisa to watch her lover be impaled, and as further punishment, confined her to life in a cloister.
Of all the eight wives of Ivan the Terrible, only Maria Dolgorukaya (who is also considered a 19th-century fraud) and Vasilisa Melentyeva do not have graves or any mentions in official court documents.
There is apparently no evidence of her existence in the early modern sources except two minor mentions: the first, cited by Nikolay Karamzin, simply listed her name "as concubine" with Ivan's other spouses. The more extensive second mention, is believed to be the work of Alexander Sulakadzev, a notorious forger of the early 19th century.
However it is claimed that researchers have more recently found documents confirming her special relationship with the tsar.
Alexander Ostrovsky wrote a play about her in 1867: "Василиса Мелентьева".

# Pittsburgh CrosseFire

The Pittsburgh CrosseFire was an American professional box lacrosse team and a member of the National Lacrosse League during the 2000 NLL season. It was based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

## History
### Relocation from Baltimore

The franchise started out as the Baltimore Thunder in 1987. Following the 1999 season, team owner Dennis Townsend expressed disappoint in Baltimore's lack of support for the team, despite the team featuring five-time MVP Gary Gait and reigning Rookie of the Year Jesse Hubbard. After reportedly losing $2 million during his two-year ownership, Townsend moved the team to Pittsburgh in July 1999.

### 2000 season

Despite retaining the core of the Thunder team that had reached the postseason in the previous two seasons, the CrosseFire struggled early in the season. After a 2-3 start, the CrossFire acquired Gait's twin brother Paul in a mid-season trade from the Syracuse Smash. The team finished the season with a 6-6 record, losing their final game in double overtime to the winless Smash to finish one game out of a playoff spot.
Gary Gait finished with 83 points, tied with John Tavares for most in the league and was named First Team All-Pro, but missed out on winning his sixth straight MVP Award. Paul Gait would earn 2nd Team All-Pro honors.
The Pittsburgh CrosseFire average 4,916 fans per game during the 2000 season, the second-lowest in the league and significantly less than the 7,057 averaged by the Thunder in their final season in Baltimore.

### Sale and relocation

In April 2000, one month after the team's inaugural season, Dennis Townsend closed the team's Pittsburgh offices and announced the team was for sale. The CrossFire would be sold to DC-based attorney Steve Comiskey, who relocated the team to Washington, becoming the Washington Power.

# Merogais

Merogais (Latin: Merogaisus, French: Ragaise) was an early Frankish king, who, along with his co-ruler Ascaric, is the earliest Frankish ruler known. He was an enemy of the Roman Empire. Merogais is mentioned in the Panegyrici latini (anonymous VI and VII) and by Eutropius and Eumenius. The very existence of Merogais depends on the manuscript reading of Johann Kaspar Zeuss. The sentence which names the two kings begins with Asacari or Assaccari in all manuscripts, but it ends with the corrupt forms cinere gaisique, cumero geasique, cymero craisique, and cymero caisique. Zeuss reads those sentences as ending respectively cum Neregaisique, cum Merogeasique, cum Merocraisique, and cum Merocaisique, each meaning as "and with Merogais".
In 306 he and Ascaric led a Frankish raid across the Rhine into southern Gaul while Constantine the Great was campaigning against the Picts in Britannia. Apparently the two had made a previous agreement with Rome not to cross the border, since Constantine sought to punish them as traitors upon his return. The two chieftains were defeated, captured, and executed "for their past crimes", an act which "bound with fear the slippery loyalty of the whole race," according to one of the emperor's anonymous panegyrists. The execution took place in one of the chief cities of Gaul, probably Trier, and the two Franks and their followers were torn apart by animals in the amphitheatre before a large crowd. Their defeat was followed by the subjection of the Bructeri.
