The battle took place near the Río Burbia , in the area which is today known as Villafranca del Bierzo . The battle resulted in Andalusian victory . The Battle . The Emir , in his attempt to annex the Kingdom of Asturias , organized two armies for the purpose of enforcing this annexation . The first army was tasked with conquering Galicia , and the second with conquering western Basque lands . When Hisham I was returning to Córdoban territory with the spoils of his conquests , the Christians attacked . The Muslims , under the competent leadership of general Yusuf ibn Bujt , were able to successfully repel the attack and to further turn the ambush into a victory . Consequences . The retreat of the Asturian army provoked the abdication of King Bermudo in favor of Alfonso II of Asturias , son of King Fruela I of Asturias , grandson of Alfonso I of Asturias , and great - grandson of Pelagius of Asturias . Alfonso ' s first move as the new king would be to move the capital to " Ovetao " or Oviedo , an old Roman city .

He would be remembered as a generous , magnanimous and illustrious king . This defeat forced the postponement of the Reconquista for many years .
Douglas B - 23 Dragon The Douglas B - 23 Dragon was a twin - engined bomber developed by Douglas Aircraft Company as a successor to ( and a refinement of ) the B - 18 Bolo . Design and development . Douglas proposed a number of modifications designed to improve the performance of the B - 18 . Initially considered a redesign , the XB - 22 featured 1 , 600 hp Wright R - 2600 - 1 Twin Cyclone radial engines . The complete B - 18 redesign was considered promising enough by the USAAC to alter the original contract to produce the last 38 B - 18As ordered under Contract AC9977 as the B - 23 . The design incorporated a larger wingspan with a wing design very similar to that of the Douglas DC - 3 , a fully retractable undercarriage , and improved defensive armament . Notably , the B - 23 was the first operational US bomber equipped with a glazed tail gun position . The tail gun mounted a . 50 caliber machine gun , which was fired from the prone position by a gunner using a telescopic sight . The first B - 23 flew on July 27 , 1939 with the production series of 38 B - 23s manufactured between July 1939 and September 1940 . Operational history . While significantly faster and better armed than the B - 18 , the B - 23 was not comparable to newer medium bombers like the North American B - 25 Mitchell and Martin B - 26 Marauder . For this reason , the 38 B - 23s built were never used in combat overseas , although for a brief period , they were employed as patrol aircraft stationed on the west coast of the United States . The B - 23s were primarily relegated to training duties although 18 of the type were converted as transports and redesignated as the UC - 67 . The B - 23 also served as a test - bed for new engines and systems . After World War II , many examples were used as executive transports with appropriate internal modifications and as a result a large number have survived . Howard Hughes ( among others ) used converted B - 23s as personal aircraft .
Battery Rodgers Battery Rodgers was a gun emplacement that composed a portion of the American Civil War defenses of the American capital city of Washington , D . C . Built in 1863 , Battery Rodgers was constructed with the ability to interdict sea traffic sailing up the Potomac River to Washington . From its position on a 28 - foot high cliff overlooking Battery Cove , it was positioned with a clear view of fire and was ably suited to guarding the southern Potomac River and Accotink Road ( Fort Hunt Rd . ) approaches to Washington . During the war , the battery mounted one 6 . 4 inch ( 100 pounder ) Parrott rifle and one 15 - inch Rodman Gun , one of the largest guns in the world at that time . The guns were supplied by two adjacent powder magazines , and the battery complex included a hospital , barracks , mess hall , and prison . It was garrisoned by 6 commissioned officers , 1 ordnance sergeant , and 256 men . Following the conclusion of the war , the Battery was disbanded and its guns were removed to other locations in Washington . The land on which the battery rested was sold soon afterward , due in no small part to its location in the center of Alexandria , Virginia . Today , no portion of the battery still stands , but it is memorialized by a small marker in the town of Alexandria . The Rodman gun used at the battery was moved across the Potomac to Fort Foote , and can still be seen there today .

Albatros - class corvette The " Albatros " class was a class of eight corvette s designed and built in Italy in the 1950s . Paid for by US funds , they were operated by Italy , Denmark and the Netherlands . The last ships of the class were retired from service in Italy in 1991 . Design . In the early 1950s , the Italian shipyard Ansaldo designed a class of corvettes suitable for coastal escort duties . The design was selected for production in Italian shipyards for NATO navies using US funds under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program , with three ships built for Italy , four for Denmark and one for the Netherlands . The design had a flush - decked hull , with no raised forecastle , and was powered by two diesel engine giving which drove two shafts and propelled the ships a speed of . As built , the ships were armed with two 76 - mm ( 3 - in ) SMP 3 automatic cannon , with single turrets , one forward and one aft , and a single twin 40 - mm Bofors mount . The SMP 3 was the first model of Italian automatic 76 - mm guns , and could fire bursts of shells at 50 rounds per minute from a 14 round drum magazine , with 6 kg shells reaching a range of . Anti - submarine armament consisted of two Hedgehog forward with depth charge projectors and racks aft . History . The lead ship in the class , " Albatros " , was completed in 1955 , with deliveries continuing until 1957 , when the last ship , " Bellona " , delivered to Denmark in 1957 . The Netherlands found " Lynx " to be unsuitable , and it was transferred to Italy in 1961 , where it was renamed " Aqula " . In service , the SMP 3 guns proved to be a failure , being too complex and unreliable , ( " Lynx " suffered an explosion in one of its SMP 3 during its brief service with the Netherlands Navy ) and adversely affecting the ships ' seaworthiness . As a result , Italy re - armed its ships in 1963 , replacing the 76 mm guns with single 40 mm Bofors guns . Denmark , however , retained the 76 mm guns . The Danish ship " Diana " was discarded in 1974 , with " Flora " being stricken in 1978 . The final two Danish ships , " Bellona " and " Triton " were discarded in 1981 as they were replaced by the " Niels Juel " - class corvettes . The Italian ships ' anti - submarine armament was improved by replacing the depth charge launchers with two triple torpedo tubes for 324 - mm anti - submarine torpedoes . " Albatros " and " Alicone " were equipped for minesweeping , being fitted with paravanes and equipment davits at the expense of the torpedo tubes , although they retained their designation as corvettes It had been intended to discard the Italian ships in 1982 – 83 , but they were kept in service to meet a continuing need for coastal patrol vessels . " Albatros " was the first Italian ship to be discarded , being decommissioned in 1985 , but used as an accommodation hulk until stricken in April 1989 . The remaining three ships were discarded in 1991 .
Battle of Spilia The Battle of Spilia was fought on December 12 , 1955 in the EOKA campaign against the British in Cyprus . Acting on information provided by an informant 700 soldiers of the British Army , attempted to encircle the headquarters of EOKA General Georgios Grivas on the Troodos mountains near the village of Spilia . As they ascended the mountain , EOKA guerrillas spotted them . Grivas divided his troops in two , keeping half with himself to fight the units coming from the north side while sending his second - in - command Grigoris Afxentiou to fight the rest of the British who were ascending on the south side . Both EOKA units retreated to the summit of the mountain after engaging the enemy and then proceeded , in heavy fog , to escape towards the west . Soon , the British units from the north and the ones from the south reached the summit and , unable to see clearly in the fog , and in the belief that they were surrounded by EOKA fighters , started shooting at each other with some 50 casualties . This was a renowned battle in the EOKA campaign to unite Cyprus with Greece ( 1955 – 1959 ) . It was significant in that a British victory at Spilia would have ended the campaign in its very first year since General Grivas had concentrated his guerrilla fighters , nearly thirty of them , there . Instead , the struggle went on and led , if not to union ( " Enosis " ) , to the independence of Cyprus .

Aristodemus of Miletus Aristodemus ( in Greek Aριστoδημoς ; lived 4th century BC ) , native of Miletus , was a friend and flatterer of Antigonus , king of Asia , who sent him , in 315 BC , to the Peloponnese with 1000 talents , and ordered him to maintain friendly relations with Polyperchon and his son Alexander , to collect as large a body of mercenaries as possible , and to conduct the war against Cassander . On his arrival in Laconia , he obtained permission from the Spartans to engage mercenaries in their country , and thus raised in the Peloponnese an army of 8000 men . The friendship with Polyperchon and his son Alexander was confirmed , and the former was made governor of the peninsula . The ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt Ptolemy , who was allied with Cassander , sent a fleet against the general and the allies of Antigonus , and Cassander made considerable conquests in the Peloponnese . After his departure , Aristodemus and Alexander at first endeavoured in common to persuade the towns to expel the garrisons of Cassander , and recover their independence . But Alexander soon allowed himself to be made a traitor to the cause he had hitherto espoused , and was rewarded by Cassander with the chief command of his forces in the Peloponnese . In 314 BC , Aristodemus invited the Aetolians to support the cause of Antigonus ; and having raised a great number of mercenaries among them , he attacked Alexander , who was besieging Cyllene , and compelled him to raise the siege . He then restored several other places , such as Patras in Achaea and Dyme in Aetolia , to what was then called freedom . After this , 306 BC , Aristodemus occurs once more in history .
