Battle of Dormans The Battle of Dormans was a battle during the 5th War of Religion in France . It occurred near the village of Dormans , more precisely between Tréloup and Verneuil , on 10 October 1575 . It was an encounter between royal troops commanded by Henry , 3rd Duke of Guise and a body of German reiter s recruited by the Protestants , notably the English Protestants and the Malcontents ( duc d ' Alençon ) led by Thoré , the younger brother of the maréchal de Montmorency and of Henri comte de Damille . The inhabitants of Dormans had destroyed the wooden bridge linking the village to the other bank of the River Marne before the battle . Guise routed the Protestants , capturing Philippe de Mornay among others and receiving the nickname " Balafré " , the same as his father , following a wound from an arquebus shot to his right cheek . The results of this victory were negated by the attack of John Casimir of the Palatinate - Simmern , son of Frederick III , Count Palatine of the Rhine , which soon menaced Paris .
141st Pennsylvania Infantry The 141st Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry was a volunteer infantry regiment that fought in the Union Army during the American Civil War . The regiment served in the Army of the Potomac in the Eastern Theater and was heavily engaged in the second day of fighting at the Peach Orchard outside of Gettysburg . History . The regiment was organized in August 1862 , with Henry J . Madill as colonel , Guy H . Watkins as lieutenant colonel , and Israel P . Spalding as major . It was sent to Harrisburg , Pennsylvania , where it was organized at Camp Curtin . After a couple of weeks , it was sent to picket the Potomac River in the area of Poolesville , Maryland . The regiment became part of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the III Corps . At the Battle of Fredericksburg , the regiment formed part of the force which engaged the Confederate right flank but lost few men . After the battle , the regiment went into winter quarters , but in the spring of 1863 was heavily enaged at the Battle of Chancellorsville , May 1 – 3 , 1863 , suffering over 50 % casualties . At the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2 , 1863 , the unit was detached from the rest of the brigade and sent to the southern part of the Peach Orchard . There , the 141st helped repel the attack of Brigadier General Joseph B . Kershaw ' s South Carolina Brigade . However , shortly after this the Peach Orchard salient began to collapse . Separated from the rest of its brigade , the regiment never received orders to withdraw and stayed in line of battle near the Peach Orchard . Possibly because of the thick battle smoke , the regiment did not fire on the approaching brigade of Brigadier General William Barksdale . The 141st suffered a devastating volley at close range from one of Barksdale ' s Mississippi regiments , and after a brief resistance withdrew towards Cemetery Ridge with a loss of almost 70 % of its members . Of 209 men present for roll - call earlier in the day , 149 were killed , wounded , or missing in action . Following the Gettysburg Campaign , the regiment fought in the Bristoe Station Campaign , seeing action at the Battle of Auburn Bridge , one of the final actions fought by the III Corps before its incorporation into the II Corps . The regiment received many replacements over the winter . In 1864 , the regiment fought in the Battle of the Wilderness ( May 6 – 7 , 1864 ) , the Battle of Spotsylvania ( May 11 – 12 , 1864 ) , and at the Battle of Petersburg ( June 18 , 1864 ) . The regiment then took part in the Siege of Petersburg . The 141st participated in the final campaign of the Army of the Potomac and fought at the Battle of Sayler ' s Creek on March 25 , 1865 , and again at the Battle of Farmville ( April 6 – 7 , 1865 ) . The 141st was present at the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House . The regiment participated in the Grand Review in Washington and was mustered out on May 29 , 1865 . Casualties . The casualty information presented above is derived from the History of the One Hundred Forty - First Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers compiled by David Craft , the regimental Chaplain , after the war .
Charles Boyle , 4th Earl of Orrery Charles Boyle , 4th Earl of Orrery KT PC FRS ( 28 July 1674 – 28 August 1731 ) was an English nobleman , statesman and patron of the sciences . The second son of Roger Boyle , 2nd Earl of Orrery , and his wife Lady Mary Sackville ( 1647 – 1710 ) , daughter of Richard Sackville , 5th Earl of Dorset , he was born at Chelsea . He was educated at Christ Church , Oxford , and soon distinguished himself by his learning and abilities . Like the first earl , he was an author , soldier and statesman . He translated Plutarch ' s life of Lysander , and published an edition of the epistles of Phalaris , which engaged him in the famous controversy with Bentley . He was a member of the Irish Parliament and sat for Charleville between 1695 and 1699 . He was three times member for the town of UK Parliament constituency ; and on the death of his brother , Lionel , 3rd earl , in 1703 , he succeeded to the title . He entered the army , and in 1709 was raised to the rank of major - general , and sworn one of Her Majesty ' s Privy Council . He was awarded the Order of the Thistle and appointed queen ' s envoy to the states of Brabant and Flanders ; and having discharged this trust with ability , he was created an English peer , as Baron Boyle of Marston , in Somerset . He inherited the estate in 1714 . Boyle became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1706 . In 1713 , under the patronage of Boyle , clockmaker George Graham created the first mechanical solar system model that could demonstrate proportional motion of the planets around the Sun . The device was named the orrery in the Earl ' s honour . Charles Boyle received several additional honours in the reign of George I ; but having had the misfortune to fall under the suspicion of the government for playing a part in the Jacobite Atterbury Plot , he was committed to the Tower in 1722 , where he remained six months , and was then admitted to bail . On a subsequent inquiry it was found impossible to incriminate him , and he was discharged . Boyle wrote a comedy , " As you find it " , printed in 1703 and later published together with the plays of the first earl . In 1728 , he was listed as one of the subscribers to the " Cyclopaedia " of Ephraim Chambers . Boyle died at his house in Westminster in 1731 and was buried in Westminster Abbey . He bequeathed his personal library and collection of scientific instruments to Christ Church Library ; the instruments are now on display in the Museum of the History of Science , Oxford . His son John , the 5th Earl of Orrery , succeeded to the earldom of Cork on the failure of the elder branch of the Boyle family , as earl of Cork and Orrery . Bibliography .

Great Company ( German ) The Great Company was a group of mercenaries , chiefly of German origin but operating in the Italian peninsula , who flourished in the mid - 14th century . At its height , the company numbered approximately 10 , 000 men , chiefly armored cavalry . The Great Company ' s power set the pattern for later condottieri who came to dominate Renaissance Italian warfare . History . 1340s . The company was founded in 1342 by Werner von Urslingen , whose reputed motto was " Enemy of God , Enemy of Piety , Enemy of Pity " , with some writers even reporting the phrase inscribed on his breastplate . Urslingen was inspired by Lodrisio Visconti ' s Compagnia di San Giorgio , under which he had fought in the battle of Parabiago . Commanders included his brother Reinhardt , Ettore da Panigo , Konrad von Landau and Francesco degli Ordelaffi . The strength of the company at this point was recorded as 3 , 000 men - at - arms . In autumn 1342 , the company was dissolved and Urslingen and many of his German followers returned home . In 1347 Urslingen was hired by King Louis I of Hungary in his war with Queen Joanna of Naples . Here he was reunited with his old comrade Konrad von Landau and served for the first time with the Provençal knight , Montreal d ' Albarno , known as Fra ' Moriale . The Company won a major victory at the Battle of Meleto in 1349 . The company then split again , with Urslingen and Landau operating in central Italy while Fra Moriale stayed in Naples . 1350s . In 1351 Urslingen retired to Germany and Landau and Fra ' Moriale reunited , the latter taking command of the Company , which now added Italians , Provençals and Hungarians to the previous mainly German majority of mercenaries . The major area of operation was once more central Italy . In 1353 - 4 , the Company ' s strength was estimated at 10 , 000 fighting men and 20 , 000 camp followers . In 1354 , Fra ' Moriale was arrested and executed in Rome and Konrad von Landau became commander - in - chief . The Company signed on with the Venetian League in 1358 and the following year with Siena , during which time it suffered a serious setback at the hands of Florence and had to ransom their leader , Landau . In 1359 the company had again reached a substantial strength , amounting to some 20 , 000 men ; it subsequently fought in battles against Rimini , Fabriano , Camerino , the Papal States and Florence . In June 1359 it was crushed by the Florentine army under Pandolfo II Malatesta at the Battle of Campo delle Mosche . 1360s . In 1363 , hired by the Visconti of Milan , it fought against Albert Sterz ' s White Company , which the Great Company had defeated the previous year and which had been hired by the Marquis of Montferrat . In April , after three months of clashes , the Great Company was decisively defeated at the Battle of Canturino and Konrad von Landau himself was killed .
Siemens - Schuckert R . III The Siemens - Schuckert R . III was a prototype bomber aircraft built in Germany during World War I . It was one of six aircraft based on the Siemens - Schuckert R . I that were originally intended to be identical , but which each developed in a different direction and were designated as different aircraft types by the German Inspectorate of Flying Troops ( the Idflieg ) . The aircraft ' s development was impeded by the unreliability of its Maybach HS engines , and when it was eventually accepted for military service , it was only in a training role . As designed , the R . III was a large three - bay biplane with unstaggered wings of unequal span and a fully enclosed cabin . Power was to be supplied by three 180 - kW ( 240 - hp ) Maybach HS engines mounted internally in the fuselage , which transmitted their power via driveshafts to two propellers mounted tractor - fashion on the interplane struts nearest the fuselage . The main undercarriage consisted of divided units , each of which carried dual wheels , and the tail was supported by a pair of tailwheels . The fueslage was forked into an upper and lower section , which allowed a clear field of fire to the rear of the aircraft . The R . III was delivered to Döberitz for military service on 30 December 1915 . Problems with the engines began almost immediately , and numerous modifications to the engines and their cooling systems were carried out in the field . Despite the modifications , engine problems were probably responsible when the R . III crashed in early 1916 . New wings were fitted to the aircraft to replace those damaged in the crash , but further attempts to fly the R . III were again hampered by its engines , and the aircraft was returned to Siemens - Schuckert . In June , the firm requested permission from the " Idflieg " to replace the troublesome engines with Benz Bz . IV engines , but was told to place the R . III in storage instead . Work on the R . III commenced again in October 1916 , when a number of improvements based on field experience with the R . V and R . VI were incorporated into the aircraft . These included : reinforcement of the tail , engine and gearbox thermometers , lighting in the engine room , and covers for the radiators that could be extended in flight . The wing was extended both in span and in chord . By this time , the " Idflieg " had relaxed its specifications for the R - types ordered from Siemens - Schuckert , and with the Benz engines fitted , the R . III was able to meet the lowered standard . Siemens - Schuckert delivered the refurbished aircraft to " Riesenflugzeugersatzabteilung " ( Rea — " giant aircraft support unit " ) on 12 December 1916 and it was accepted into service on 21 December . In its modified form , the aircraft was of no use on the front line , but was used for training instead , a role in which it was still serving in February 1918 .
Battle of Thessalonica ( 995 ) The Battle of Thessalonica ( ) occurred in 995 or earlier , near the city of Thessalonica , Greece . Origins of the conflict . After the great victory in the Battle of Trajan ' s Gates , and the subsequent civil war in the Byzantine Empire , Samuil was free to attack the Byzantine strongholds all over the Balkan peninsula . After having secured his rule over most of the northern Balkans , he led a campaign against Thessalonica , Byzantium ' s second largest city , held by the " doux " Gregory Taronites . The exact date of this campaign , and the subsequent battle , is unclear . An Armenian source puts it as early as 991 , while the account of John Skylitzes , on which the traditional date relies , implies it happened in 996 . However , as John Chaldos is attested as " doux " in Thessalonica in 995 / 6 , the campaign must have happened at the latest in 995 , if not some time before . The battle . Samuil sent a small detachment towards the city , while the main body of his army remained behind to carefully prepare an ambush for the Byzantine army . As the Bulgarian raiding party approached Thessalonica , Gregory Taronites sent out his son , Ashot , with the vanguard to make contact with them and reconnoitre the Bulgarian dispositions . Ashot engaged the Bulgarian raiding party and drove them back , but was drawn into the ambush and encircled with his men . His father , following up with the main Byzantine force , rushed to his rescue , but was killed trying to reach him . Aftermath . Ashot Taronites was taken captive and taken to Bulgaria , where shortly after he was wed to Samuil ' s daughter Miroslava . He was named governor of Dyrrhachium , from where he soon escaped on board Byzantine ships to Constantinople , where he arranged the surrender of the city to the Byzantines . In Thessalonica , Taronites was succeeded by John Chaldos , who likewise fell victim to a Bulgarian ambush and was captured in 996 . After that , emboldened by his successes , Samuil ventured south , into the " thema " of Hellas for a plundering expedition . He captured Larissa and reached Corinth , after which he learned about the approach of a Byzantine army under Nikephoros Ouranos and returned north . The two armies met at the Spercheios river , where Samuil was defeated . The long Byzantine - Bulgarian conflict , however , would go on until the final defeat of Bulgaria in 1018 .

Bersa 83 The Bersa 83 is a double - action pistol chambered for 9x17mm Browning Short ( . 380 ACP ) , and manufactured by Bersa between 1988 and 1994 . It is a very popular pistol because it is compact , accurate , reliable , inexpensive , and an excellent choice for self - defense and concealed carry . The Model 83 replaced the 383 DA in 1989 , discarding an external slide catch in favor of an internal system : to release a slide from lock - back , the user had only to pull the slide back a bit further , and thence release it to allow full return to battery . The Model 83 was in production for five years , after which the aluminium - frame , single - stack Series 95 was introduced , followed very shortly by Bersa ' s present Thunder Series of pistols including the Thunder 380 and its variants .
Battle of Snyder ' s Bluff The Battle of Snyder ' s Bluff was fought from April 29 to May 1 , 1863 , during the Vicksburg Campaign of the American Civil War . Union forces under Maj . Gen . William T . Sherman conducted a feint against Confederate units holding the bluff , which was easily repelled . To ensure that troops were not withdrawn to Grand Gulf to assist Confederates there , a combined Union Army - Navy force feigned an attack on Snyder ' s Bluff , Mississippi . After noon on April 29 , Lt . Cdr . K . Randolph Breese , with his eight gunboats and ten transports carrying Maj . Gen . Francis Blair ' s division , inched up the Yazoo River to the mouth of Chickasaw Bayou where they spent the night . At 9 a . m . the next morning , the force , minus one gunboat , continued upriver to Drumgould ' s Bluff and engaged the enemy batteries . During the fighting , the " Choctaw " suffered more than fifty hits , but no casualties occurred . Around 6 p . m . , the troops disembarked and marched along Blake ' s Levee toward the guns . As they neared Drumgould ' s Bluff , a battery opened on them , creating havoc and casualties . The Union advance halted and , after dark , the men reembarked on the transports . The next morning , transports disembarked other troops . The swampy terrain and enemy heavy artillery fire forced them to retire . The gunboats opened fire again , about 3 p . m . on May 1 , causing some damage . Later , the boats ' fire slackened and stopped altogether after dark . Sherman had received orders to land his troops at Milliken ' s Bend , so the gunboats returned to their anchorages at the mouth of the Yazoo . References . Battle of Snyder ' s Bluff was at coordinates .
