Sofia Second Chronicle: The Sofia Second Chronicle is a Russian chronicle from the 16th century.  It is found in two redactions: The Archival redaction, from the first quarter of the 16th century and now in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Documents (RGADA) (Fond 181, No. 371); and the Voskresenskii ("Resurrection") Redaction from the middle of the 16th century, now housed in the State Historical Museum (GIM) on the north end of Red Square (Voskresenskoe Sobranie, bumazhnoe, No. 154).  It was first published at the beginning of the 19th century and is included in the Complete Collection of Russian Chronicles (PSRL, vol.  6; St. Petersburg, 1851).

Courthouse Wash Pictographs: The Courthouse Wash Pictographs are a series of large pictographs created over a long period of time, located on a sheltered sandstone wall in Arches National Park, Utah.  The series of images depict a variety of figures, many of them anthropomorphic and measuring up to 5 ft in height.  The Courthouse wash site is located near the junction of Courthouse Wash with the Colorado River, extending over a 100-meter section of cliff base.  The pictographs include painted figures resembling those found in Horseshoe Canyon in Canyonlands National Park, 35 mi to the west.  Other figures, including those of animals, have been incised by removal of the rock's covering of desert varnish.  The painted figures follow the Barrier Canyon Style and are believed to be between 1500 and 4000 years old.  The incised figures are attributed to the Fremont culture and are dated to about 1000-1200 AD.  Figures mounted on horseback were created in historical times since the 16th century introduction of horses and are attributed to Navajo or Ute artists.

History of the Gambia: The first written records of the region come from Arab traders in the 9th and 10th centuries.  In medieval times, the region was dominated by the Trans-Saharan trade and was ruled by the Mali Empire.  In the 16th century, the region came to be ruled by the Songhai Empire.  The first Europeans to visit the Gambia River were the Portuguese in the 15th century, who attempted to settle on the river banks, but no settlement of significant size was established.  Descendants of the Portuguese settlers remained until the 18th century.  In the late 16th century, English merchants attempted to begin a trade with the Gambia, reporting that it was "a river of secret trade and riches concealed by the Portuguese."

Richard III (play): Richard III is a historical play by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in approximately 1592.  It depicts the Machiavellian rise to power and subsequent short reign of King Richard III of England.  The play is grouped among the histories in the First Folio and is most often classified as such.  Occasionally, however, as in the quarto edition, it is termed a tragedy.  "Richard III" concludes Shakespeare's first tetralogy (also containing "Henry VI" parts 1–3).

Cambodian Royal Chronicles: The Cambodian Royal Chronicles or Cambodian Chronicles (Rajabansavatar or Rapa Ksatr) are a collection of 18th and 19th century historical manuscripts that focus on the time from around the year 1430 to the beginning of the 16th century.  This period of Cambodia's history is considered to be the Dark ages, as it marks the end of the Khmer Empire.  Written sources such as Sanskrit epigraphy become obsolete, beginning in the first half of the 14th century.  Even old-Khmer inscriptions are absent until the middle of the 16th century.  The last king mentioned in the ancient inscriptions of Angkor is King Jayavarman Parameshwara (or Jayavarma-Paramesvara), who reigned from 1327 to 1336.

History of colonialism: The historical phenomenon of colonisation is one that stretches around the globe and across time.  Modern state global colonialism, or imperialism, began in the 15th century with the "Age of Discovery", led by Portuguese and Spanish exploration of the Americas, the coasts of Africa, the Middle East, India and East Asia.  The Spanish and Portuguese empires were the first global empires because they were the first to stretch across different continents, covering vast territories around the globe.  The phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was first used for the Spanish Empire in the 16th century.  During the late 16th and 17th centuries, England, France and the Dutch Republic also established their own overseas empires, in direct competition with each other.  The end of the 18th and early 19th century saw the first era of decolonization, when most of the European colonies in the Americas gained their independence from their respective metropoles. Spain was irreversibly weakened after the loss of their New World colonies, but the Kingdom of Great Britain (uniting Scotland with England and Wales), France, Portugal, and the Dutch turned their attention to the Old World, particularly South Africa, India and South East Asia, where coastal enclaves had already been established.

Shakespeare in performance: Thousands (perhaps even millions) of performances of William Shakespeare's plays have been staged since the end of the 16th century.  While Shakespeare was alive, many of his greatest plays were performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men and King's Men acting companies at the Globe and Blackfriars Theatres. Among the actors of these original performances were Richard Burbage (who played the title role in the first performances of "Hamlet", "Othello", "Richard III" and "King Lear"), Richard Cowley, and William Kempe.

Pinkie House: Pinkie House is a historic house, built around a three-storey tower house located in Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland.  The house dates from the 16th century, was substantially enlarged in the early 17th century, and has been altered several times since.  Its location at grid reference [ NT348726] is to the east of the town centre, on the south side of the High Street.  The building now forms part of Loretto School, an independent boarding school.  Pinkie House is not far from the site of the disastrous Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, fought in 1547.

Intabulation: Intabulation, from the Italian word "intavolatura", refers to an arrangement of a vocal or ensemble piece for keyboard, lute, or other plucked string instrument, written in tablature.  It was a common practice in 14th–16th century keyboard and lute music.  A direct effect of intabulation was one of the early advantages of keyboards, the ability to render multiple instruments' music on one instrument.  The earliest intabulation is from the mid-14th century Robertsbridge Codex, also one of the first sources of keyboard music still in existence.  Some other early sources of intabulated music are the Faenza and Reina manuscripts (from the 14th century) and the Buxheim manuscript (from the 15th century).  The Faenza manuscript,the largest of these early manuscripts, written circa 1400, contains pieces written or transcribed in the 14th century, such as those by Francesco Landini and Guillaume de Machaut.  More than half of its pieces are intabulations.  The large Buxheim manuscript is dominated by intabulations, mainly of prominent composers of the time, including John Dunstaple, Gilles Binchois, Walter Frye, and Guillaume Dufay.  The term "intabulation" continued to be popular through the 16th century, but fell out of use in the early 17th century, though the practice continued.  The exception is the 16th- and 17th-century Italian keyboard pieces which included both vocal and instrumental music.  Intabulations contain all the vocal lines of a polyphonic piece, for the most part, although they are sometimes combined or redistributed in order to work better on the instrument the intabulation is intended for, and idiomatic ornaments are sometimes added.

Chateau de Tautal Bas: Château de Tautal-Bas is a manor house in south-central France, in the department of Cantal, in the region of Auvergne.  It was known also as Tautal-Soutro, it's Occitan name, and in its vicinity another chateau can be found, Chateau de Tautal-Haut, formerly known as Tautal-Soubro.  In medieval times, the area was likely the fief of a family known as Tautail, whose foundation could date back to the early 14th century (see references).  The chateau is situated at an altitude of 850 metres, within the community of Valette, but it has stronger historical ties with the older village of Menet, which lies not far from the foot of the hill on which Tautal-Bas is built.  Menet has a Romanesque style church, dated to the 12th century.  The main house consists of several parts which differ in age, the front (South) part being the oldest, possibly 16th century, and the middle- and back (North) most likely younger.  The house retains a significant part of its historical grounds, which - within their current perimeter - measure approximately 47 hectares or 117 acres.  The grounds are bordered by the streams La Sumene to the West and Le Cheylat to the North of the house.
