Anbasa ibn Suhaym Al - Kalbi Anbasa ibn Suhaym al - Kalbi ( Arabic : عنبسة بن سحيم الكلبي ) was the Muslim wali ( governor ) of al - Andalus , also known as Moorish Hispania , from 721 to 726 CE . Immediately after his appointment , Anbasa doubled taxes on the Christians and confiscated Jewish property . However , it is thought that this increase did not affect most of the recently conquered estates and towns , subdued by treaty on very specific conditions ( taxes , land ownership , etc . ) , but lands under direct Arab rule and new towns being conquered in Septimania . Coincidentally , a dynastic struggle arose among Muslims in the Middle East . It was sparked by the death of Caliph Yazid II and the succession of his brother , Hisham ibn Abd al - Malik in 724 . On this account , Anbasa tried to please the demands imposed by the Caliph to further tax exaction on non - Muslims , with attempts being made to enforce it on non - Arab Muslims too - popular rebellion in Egypt in 725 for increase in taxation . On the other hand , this more rigorous approach may have provided legal shelter and security to ownership in al - Andalus . These actions caused displeasure , scattered acts of disobedience , as well as some open revolts . In 722 , a Visigothic nobleman of uncertain origin , Pelagius of Asturias , defied the Umayyad attempt to extract taxes in the mountains of Asturias , where he gathered a band of rebellious followers . An Umayyad patrol was sent to search for Pelagius and his men , and it was ambushed at the Battle of Covadonga at great loss of life according to heavily mythical Christian sources , a skirmish according to later Muslim chroniclers , who showed little concern for the episode . Word of a great victory ( and a rumor that the victory had been the result of divine intervention ) may have spread throughout occupied Hispania . However , the " Mozarabic Chronicle " of 754 , a Christian and only almost contemporary account of the major events taking place in Hispania doesn ' t mention it . Duke Peter ( Pedro in Spanish historiography ) who governed Cantabria may have joined Pelagius . The Basques revolted , and , in 724 , Aragon joined the cause as well . In retrospect , these events are viewed by some as the beginning of the Reconquista , an effort by Christian kingdoms to wrest control of Hispania from the Muslims . Anbasa dispatched several military expeditions into Septimania as of 721 , and managed to capture the Visigothic town of Carcassonne in 724 ( or 725 ) as well Nîmes , the latter without resistance . He went on to lead an expedition to the Kingdom of Burgundy , a Frankish territory , as far north as Autun . However , he died of natural causes in this campaign . Meanwhile , a flow of refugees found shelter in southern Aquitaine and Provence . He was succeeded as wali by Udrra ben Abd Allah al - Fihrí , who after a few months , was replaced by Yahya ibn Salama al - Kalbi . Yahya denounced the injustices of the policies of Anbasa , especially with respect to the collection of taxes and the confiscation of property .

Polikarpov DI - 1 Polikarpov DI - 1 ( also known as 2I - N1 , ) was a prototype Soviet two - seat fighter designed during the 1920s . The sole prototype built crashed on its ninth flight , due to manufacturing defects , and the program was cancelled . Design and development . Nikolai Nikolaevich Polikarpov began design of a two - seat fighter initially designated as the 2I - N1 ( two - seat " Istrebitel " ( fighter ) with a single Napier engine ) in October 1924 at Zavod ( Factory ) Nr . 1 at Khodynka Aerodrome , Moscow . It was the first Soviet indigenous two - seat fighter . It was a single - bay biplane with its wings arranged in a sesquiplane configuration . The oval - shaped , semi - monocoque fuselage was made of ' shpon ' , molded birch plywood . The wings were also covered with ' shpon ' . The upper wing had two spars , but the lower wing only had one . Internal bracing wires were not used in the wings as it was built up from plywood ribs with large lightening holes and stringers . V - struts made from Duralumin separated the wings and connected the upper wing to the fuselage . Steel bracing wires were used externally . An airfoil enclosed the axle of the fixed undercarriage and a small ski served as a tailskid . It had an imported Napier Lion engine enclosed in a metal cowling . It carried of fuel and oil . The armament consisted of a single fixed synchronized PV - 1 machine gun and a 7 . 62 mm DA machine gun mounted on a ring in the observer ' s cockpit . The first flight of the prototype took place on 12 January 1926 and the DI - 1 , as it was now known , demonstrated excellent performance . Polikarpov himself flew as the observer on the fourth and eighth test flights . However , during the ninth flight on 31 March 1926 , the aircraft was making speed runs over the measured kilometer at Khodynka Airfield at a height of when the upper surface of the right upper wing ripped off , followed by the lower skin . Both right wings then collapsed and the DI - 1 crashed , killing both the pilot , V . N . Filippov , and the observer , V . V . Mikhailov . Examination of the wreckage revealed that large portions of the wings ' skin were badly glued and that a number of rib caps and stringers were not glued at all . Many panel pins were not connected to the structure at all and many of the bradawl holes necessary to equalize pressure between the inside of the wing and the outside were missing entirely . The crash of such an advanced aircraft shocked the entire industry and caused a six - month hiatus in design work . Polikarpov overreacted to its loss and built the structure of a number of his subsequent aircraft stronger , and thus , heavier , than it needed to be . All further work on the project was abandoned following the crash , nominally for lack of a suitable engine .
Bouclier - class destroyer The Bouclier " class , or Casque " class , was a class of twelve destroyer s of the French Navy built between 1910 and 1912 , four of which were lost during the First World War .

This allowed for some variations in size ( from in length ) and machinery ( " Bouclier " and " Casque " had three shafts , all the others had two , while " Casque " has three funnels , all the rest had four ) . Speeds also varied , " Bory " was the slowest at only , while " Bouclier " achieved in trails . All ships of the class received the standard armament of two 1893 Model guns , four 1902 Model guns and two twin trainable torpedo tube s . During World War I , a or anti - aircraft gun , two machine guns , and eight or ten Guiraud - type depth charge s were added . All but three ( " Bouclier " , " Capitaine Mehl " and " Francis Garnier " ) of the ships in the class served in the Mediterranean Sea between 1914 - 1918 .

He fought them in the battle of Kawasaki , in a snowstorm , defeated them and pursued them through the blizzard for a short time . Other battles followed , during which Sadato ' s attacks , along with the harsh weather and terrain weakened his enemies . However , in 1062 , the Minamoto received reinforcements , and Sadato faced them for the last time . He came under siege in a fortress on the Kuriyagawa , and after several days of fighting , his water supply diverted , his defenses attacked , and his fortress set aflame , Sadato surrendered . The Minamoto returned to Kyoto the following year , carrying his head .

Battle of Ballyellis The Battle of Ballyellis on 30 June 1798 was a clash during the Irish Rebellion of 1798 ( Éirí Amach 1798 in Irish ) , between a surviving column of the dispersed Wexford rebel army and pursuing British forces which resulted in a victory for the rebels . Background . The British victory at Vinegar Hill on 21 June had denied the rebels static bases of operation but had not finished the rebellion and at least three major columns of rebels were operating throughout the southeast , moving outwards from county Wexford in an effort to spread and revive the rebellion . One such column , numbering about 1 , 000 but accompanied by a number of women and juveniles was mobile in north county Wexford , continually altering course to elude combined movements of pursuing British forces . The column was led by Joseph Holt and headed in the direction of Carnew , County Wicklow toward the security offered by its mountain ranges when one of its foraging parties was intercepted and destroyed by a cavalry patrol . It quickly became evident to the British authorities that this party was a detachment from the main body of rebels and a mounted force of 200 troops consisting of Ancient Britons , dragoons , and three yeomanry corps , assembled near the neighbourhood of Monaseed to begin a pursuit of the rebels . However , the approaching British had been spotted and a force of rebels then moved ahead of the main force to prepare an ambush at the townland of Ballyellis . The spot chosen was behind a curve in the road flanked by high ditches and estate walls ; wagons were then placed on the road and access points cut into the ditches . The main force arrived and deployed itself behind the wagons , on the wall and ditches with a small force left to stand on the road ahead of the barricades standing to face and lure in the approaching soldiers . Upon spotting the small force standing on the road , the pursuing British quickened their pace and charged forwards , assuming that they were facing only the rearguard of the fleeing column . Upon reaching the turn , they were met by a barrage of gunfire and hemmed in by the rebels on three sides . As more mounted troops arrived they pressed their comrades further into the trap making effective manoeuvre impossible and many were easily picked off by the long pikes of the rebels . The rear - ranks quickly fled with a few more soldiers escaping by jumping their mounts over the ditch but the rebels organised a relentless pursuit of the soldiers who were tracked and killed through the adjoining fields . At the end of the action about 60 troops ( including a French émigré ) and two officers were killed for no rebel casualties . Aftermath . The news of this rebel victory came as a shock to the authorities in Dublin Castle who had assumed that the offensive capabilities of the rebels had been finished at the battle of Vinegar Hill . Reports of the defeat were downplayed and the scale of losses withheld from the general public , but the military now recognized Wicklow as the main theatre of rebel operations and began to transfer troops there in anticipation of a new anti - insurgency campaign .
Santa Anna ( ship ) Santa Anna was an early 16th Century carrack of the Knights Hospitaller . The war ship was celebrated for her many modern features . While some authors view her lead sheathed hull as an early form of ironclad , others regard it primarily as a means to improve her watertightness . Career . " Santa Anna " was launched in Nice on 21 December 1522 , one day before the Knights Hospitaller surrendered at the siege of Rhodes ( 1522 ) under honorable terms . " Santa Anna " s underwater hull was completely sheathed with lead plates . Above the waterline two of the six decks were also armoured with lead plates , which were fastened by bronze nails to the wooden hull . " Santa Anna " was designed to accommodate 500 marines besides her sailors and she featured large below - deck cabins and messes for her officers . The carrack housed a forge , where three weapon smiths could do maintenance work at sea . The ship even called several ovens and a mill its own , in order to provide the crew with fresh bread . The ship also featured a garden on board with flowers hanging down from the stern gallery in boxes . In 1531 , " Santa Anna " routed on its own an Ottoman squadron of 25 ships . One year later , the carrack took part in the expedition against the Peloponnese under the command of Andrea Doria , during which Koroni , Patras and the Turkish fortresses protecting the entry to the Gulf of Corinth were seized . In 1535 " Santa Anna " fought in the successful campaign of the Spanish fleet under Charles V against Tunis , where the Spaniards managed to capture over 100 ships of the Maghrebinian corsairs . Her firepower contributed significantly in the assault on the fortress La Goulette which controlled the entry to the harbour . Temporarily , the carrack was also employed as a wheat freighter , with an impressive capacity of up to 900 tons . Only eighteen years after her launch , " Santa Anna " was stripped and abandoned in 1540 on the order of Grand Master Juan de Omedes .
