# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Jacobugath

​JACOBUGATH. The city of the followers of king Jacob. Its history was short, but its people were pre-eminent in iniquity. When the Nephite republic was broken in fragments (A. C. 30), and the people divided into tribes, the royalists, who ​embraced the vilest of the race, endeavored to gain control and establish a monarchy. Among them were very many office-holders, lawyers and petty judges, who thirsted for extended power. They had been the foremost in persecuting and slaying the servants of God, and, more than any others, contributed to the overthrow of the government. But the confederate tribes were stronger than the monarchists and opposed the establishment of a kingdom. Jacob therefore determined to take his followers to the northernmost part of the land and there establish that form of government. So speedy and unexpected were his movements that the tribes were unable to intercept him. He accomplished his purpose, built a large city and reigned over that region as king. We can well imagine the condition of society composed of such elements, it must have been a head-centre for everything abominable, and turbulent. Jacob, however, flattered himself that dissenters from the tribes would flock to his standard and soon make him powerful enough to extend his authority over the whole land. In this he was disappointed, for in the horrors of the upheavals of nature that came with the death of the Savior, Jacobugath and its people disappeared forever. Of their destruction Jesus himself says: "That great city Jacobugath, which was inhabited by the people of the king of Jacob, have I caused to be burned with fire, because of their sins and their wickedness, which was above all the wickedness of the whole earth, because of their secret murders and combinations; for it was they that did destroy the peace of my people and the government of the land: therefore I did cause them to be burned, to destroy them from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints should not come up unto me any more against them."

​B. Adelaide (7), April 4, Sept. 1; translation. May 3 (Alaysia, Alice, Aleydis, Elisabeth, etc.), c. 1105 or 1110. Mother of St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Called by Husenbeth "Saint." Represented in a window on the north side of Cossey Hall Chapel, standing behind her son, St. Bernard. Daughter of Bernard, lord of Mombard. Wife of ​Tescelin Sorus (sometimes called B. Tescelin), lord of Fontaines, a member of the ancient and powerful Burgundian nobility. Tescelin and Adelaide lived at the castle of Fontaines, near Dijon. They were kind and good to their vassals and the poor; they maintained order and propriety and religious observances in their own house. Tescelin was distinguished by his valour in war, but from religious motives he would never fight a duel. Adelaide nursed her seven children at her own breast, and tended them with her own hands, lest they should imbibe evil tempers or distempers from the milk of hirelings, or be taught anything unseemly by the attendants of their infant days. Both Tescelin and Adelaide were careful to bring up all their children in the fear of God and the love of their neighbours. Their only daughter was St. Humbeline. Their sons were Guy, B. Gerard, St. Bernard (Aug. 20), Andrew. Bartholomew, and Nivard. They all became monks eventually. Adelaide offered Bernard more especially to God from his infancy, and brought him up with double care and tenderness until he was old enough to be sent to the college of Chatillon, to be trained for the priesthood. Her prayers for him were answered, even in her life; for his piety, charity, innocence, and self denial were wonderful in one so young. His greatest fame arose from his preaching the second Crusade, 1147, under Pope Eugenius III., who had been one of his monks. Adelaide was considered a saint during her life, on account of her fasts, her hospital-visiting, and her other good deeds. She had a great devotion to St. Ambrose, and used to invite a number of clergy from Dijon to celebrate his festival. On the vigil of that day (the Great St. Ambrose's day is Dec. 7; but perhaps this is St. Ambrosinian, patron of Fontaines, near Dijon, Sept 1, as Adelaide seems to be honoured on that day), in the year 1110, she was taken ill of a fever, and next day she received the last sacraments, and while all her clerical company commended her soul to God, she joined in the prayers and responses, and died. St. Bernard was then 19 years old, and from that time he daily recited seven psalms for her soul. She was buried in the church of the monastery of St. Benignus, at Dijon; but, in 1250, the abbot of Clairvaux begged to have her body as a precious relic; it was therefore solemnly taken up and translated to Clairvaux, and the translation is celebrated May 3.

​St. Adelaide (4), Feb. 5 (Ada, Alice), V. of Willich. c. 1015. Daughter of SS. Mengo or Megengoz and Gerberg, count and countess of Gueldres. Abbess of the Benedictine monastery at Willich, near Bonn, and afterwards of that of Our Lady of the Capitol at Cologne. She was educated in a cloister, and was a pious, sensible, and studious girl. Her parents, having lost a much-loved son in battle, determined to dedicate a large portion of their wealth to the service of God. They accordingly built and richly endowed a monastery at Willich. Adelaide was appointed abbess of the new house, but before entering on this important charge she went to learn the regular observance in the monastery of Notre Dame du Capitole at Cologne. She ruled the house at Willich for several years, and was distinguished for her charity, humility, and self-denial. Her mother, Gerberg, became a nun under her, and died at Willich; her father, B. Mengo, lived three years ​longer, and Adelaide buried him at Willich beside her mother. His day is Dec. 19. Her sister Bertrade was abbess of Notre Dame at Cologne. The fame of Adelaide's sanctity spread over the whole diocese, so that, on the death of Bertrade, the bishop invited Adelaide to be her successor. She removed to Cologne, and spent the remaining three years of her life there, still, however, maintaining constant intercourse with and a motherly interest in her Willich. She is said to have wrought many miracles both before and after her death. She procured by her prayers an abundant and unfailing spring of water in a place near Willich, where the peasants were in great distress for want of it. One of her nuns had so harsh a voice that she destroyed the harmony of the choir when she joined in the hymns; but Adelaide struck her on the cheek, and she became permanently possessed of a voice so sweet and powerful as to be a great acquisition to the musical services of the community. Certain nuns were long too ill to join in the common employments of the rest, but when she rebuked them as useless and expensive, they at once recovered. She died at Cologne about 1015, and the nuns of Willich wished to have her buried amongst them; but St. Heribert, the bishop, said he would not give up the body of the holy abbess on any account, not even if they could give him the body of St. Agatha for it. Adelaide, however, showed her preference for her first monastery, for her coffin floated up the Rhine without oars to Willich, and there she was buried. AA.SS. Helyot, Ordres Monastiques, v. 53.

​B. Adelaide (8), of Lanckuvade, or Lenkwend, in Germany, Feb. 13, also called Aleyd the Penitent, c. 1200. She led a wicked life, and the devil tried to stifle her repentance and prevent her conversion by horrible apparitions. She became, however, a holy penitent and nun in the Cistercian convent of Lenkwend. Bucelinus, Men. Ben. Henriquez, Lilia Cist.
# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Adelaide (1)

​St. Adelaide (1), June 9, 27, of Bergamo. Wife of St. Lupo, prince of that city, a virtuous ruler though a heathen. They had a daughter, St. Grata, who was the first of the three to become a Christian. He built a church, and was baptized there, with many of his subjects; he lived fifteen years more, and was buried in his church. Adelaide and Grata were widows for many years, and built several churches. Legend places the lives of these three saints in the time of Diocletian, but Henschenius, AA.SS., thinks it more likely that they lived in the 7th, 8th, or 9th century. The mother and daughter are commemorated together June 9; and separately, Adelaide, June 27; and Grata, Aug. 25.
# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Adelaide (10)

​St. Adelaide (10), June 11, 15 (Aleth, Alix, Alizette, Alizon, etc.), 1250. At the age of 11, Adelaide of Scarbek, or Scharembeka, went into the Cistercian convent of La Cambre (Camera S. Mariæ), near Brussels. She was soon the best scholar among the children, and continued to be distinguished more and more, for all good qualities, for several years. One day, when they were all singing in the choir, the candle fell out of its stand, which was a sort of lantern, called absconsa, in use in convents. Adelaide took it in her hand, and it lighted again of itself. In order that she might have no regard for anything earthly, God afflicted her with leprosy; and in consequence, she was separated from all her sister nuns, which was a great trial. A little building was erected for her. She was received there by her heavenly Spouse, who promised ​to remain with her as long as she lived. One night a pious woman saw Adelaide's dwelling brilliantly lighted up, and going nearer, saw the saint as if she were made of flame. Once when she was very ill, it was revealed to her that she should live a whole year longer and suffer much, and that her torments should avail for the living and for the dead; therefore, when she lost her right eye, she offered that for the salvation of William, count of Holland, who had just been elected king of the Romans, 1247; and when she lost her left eye, she assigned the fruit of that penance to St. Louis, king of France (IX. of his name), who was then in Palestine with the crusading army. Although herself a leper, she had the privilege of curing other lepers by her touch. A golden cross was sent to her from heaven. On St. Ursula's day, she heard the nuns singing Matins, and prayed that, although excluded from the choir on earth, she might be associated with the sainted virgins in heaven; she was answered that she should be placed not only with the companions of St. Ursula, but in a higher rank. She died 1250, and her spirit was seen to be received by Christ and the angels. Henschenius, in AA.SS. Boll., from a Cistercian writer of the 13th century, June 11. Bucolinus. Men. Ben., June 11.

​WYKE. (Lieutenant, 1840. f-p., 11; h-p., 13.)
George Wyke was born in 1805 in Somersetshire, and died in 1840.
This officer entered the Navy 20 Sept. 1822, as Midshipman, on board the Alligator 28, Capts. Thos. Alexander and Henry Ducie Chads, stationed in the East Indies, where he took an active part in the hostile operations against the Burmese, and suffered much from constant boat-service on the river Irawady. Immediately prior to a successful attack made, 5 Feb. 1825, upon a formidable stockade at Than-ta-bain, mounting 36 guns, with the hope of getting on shore before any of his companions, he jumped overboard from the Alligator’s launch, holding his sword, by the becket, in his mouth. The strong tide and great depth of water rendered his situation extremely dangerous; but he fortunately succeeded in getting hold of an oar, thrown to him by a brother Midshipman, Mr. Valentine Pickey, and was rescued in time to enable him to enter the stockade among the foremost of the assailants. While he was resting on the oar, the loom of it was carried away by one of the enemy’s shot. In Jan. 1826 he commanded a cutter at the capture of Melloone, the defences of which place were considered a chef-d’oeuvre of Burman fortification. In Feb. 1827, having returned to England with a constitution much impaired, he was received on board the Gloucester 74, Capt. Joshua Sydney Horton, lying at Sheerness; and in the following July he joined the Isis 50, Capt. Sir Thos. Staines. On 18 Dec. in the same year, being at the time in the Mediterranean, he jumped from the taffrail of the latter ship and saved the life of a valuable seaman, although the wind was blowing strong, the weather cold, and the ship in stays. He was subsequently, 31 Jan. 1828, present in an attack made by a squadron under Sir T. Staines on a fort and several vessels in possession of the pirates at Carabusa. In the summer of the same year he returned home in the Glasgow 50, Capt. Hon. Jas. Ashley Maude; he then went back for a short time to the Gloucester; and on 10 Feb. 1829 he passed his examination. He was employed afterwards as Mate – from 23 Sept. 1830 until 4 Feb. 1832, in the Rainbow 28, Capt. Sir John Franklin, in the Mediterranean – from 3 April, 1834, until 1 Feb. 1835, in the Gannet 16, Capt. John Balfour Maxwell, in the West Indies, – and from March, 1840, until promoted to the rank of Lieutenant 4 Nov. following, in the Revenge 76, Capt. Hon. Wm. Waldegrave. In 1841 he was appointed to the Howe 120, flag-ship of Sir Fras. Mason in the Mediterranean; where he was lent to the Beacon surveying-vessel, Capt. Thos. Graves. Symptoms of consumption, induced by the nature of his services, caused him, about May, 1842, to invalid. Agent – Joseph Woodhead.
