Biecz Castle During the course of history , there existed three separate castles in Biecz . Currently , only the ruins of one of these remain . Of the other two castles , one was built in the current location of the Franciscan church , while the other was located on land owned by the hospital . Only the foundations remain of the Gothic royal castle located on nearby Górze Zamkowej ( literally Castle Mountain ) . The castle was built on the foundations of an early medieval gord . Built in the 13th century , the castle was made of fortified stone , and served as field headquarters for Polish kings and princes . The entire hill was surrounded by a rectangular defensive wall . The northern gate was guarded by a tower , bridge , and gates . The southern wall was protected by the Ropa River . The castle ceased to be considered an important line of defense during the second half of the 15th century . In 1475 , King Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk ordered the castle ' s demolition . Large pieces of stonework and related ruins were scattered across the nearby countryside as late as the 19th century .

Battle of Wippedesfleot The Battle of Wippedesfleot was a battle in 466 between the Anglo - Saxons ( or Jutes ) , led by Hengest , and the Britons . It is described in the Anglo - Saxon Chronicle thus : This battle is said to have resulted in much bloodshed and slaughter on both sides , to the extent that hostilities abated for a while thereafter . Some historians believe in a Saxon victory , but that is not what is mentioned in the text . The limited number of casualties is an indication that the battle was a small one . The number of " warriors " involved must not have reached 200 men . Wippedesfleot is thought to be Ebbsfleet in Kent , near Ramsgate . Its location made the author of Historia Brittonum think that all Saxons had now been driven out of Britain . Ramsgate is the main place upon the former island of Thanet , " which was given to the Saxons by Vortigern " . It was the very place where , according to Historia Brittonum , the Saxons first landed . Gildas does not mention the battle .

Siege of Pilsen The Siege of Pilsen ( or Plzeň ) or Battle of Pilsen was a siege of the fortified city of Pilsen ( ) in Bohemia carried out by the forces of the Bohemian Protestants led by Ernst von Mansfeld . It was the first major battle of the Thirty Years ' War . The Protestant victory and subsequent capture of the city sparked the Bohemian Revolt . Eve of the battle . On May 23 , 1618 , the Protestant nobles overthrew the rule of King Ferdinand II and threw the Roman Catholic governors of Bohemia from their office at Prague Castle in the Defenestration of Prague . The new government formed of Protestant nobility and gentry gave Ernst von Mansfeld the command over all of its forces . Meanwhile , Catholic nobles and priests started fleeing the country . Some of the monasteries as well as unfortified manors were evacuated and the Catholic refugees headed for the city of Pilsen , where they thought that a successful defence could be organised . The city was well - prepared for a lengthy siege , but the defences were undermanned and the defenders lacked enough gunpowder for their artillery . Mansfeld decided to capture the city before the Catholics were able to gain support from the outside . Siege . On September 19 , 1618 , Mansfeld ' s army reached the outskirts of the city . The defenders blocked two city gates and the third one was reinforced with additional guards . The Protestant army was too weak to start an all - out assault on the castle , so Mansfeld decided to take the city by hunger . On October 2 , the Protestant artillery arrived , but the calibre and number of the cannons was small and the bombardment of the city walls brought little effect . The siege continued , with the Protestants receiving new supplies and recruits on a daily basis , while the defenders lacked food and munitions . Also , the main city well was destroyed and the stores of potable water soon depleted . Finally , on November 21 , cracks were made in the walls and the Protestant soldiers poured into the city . After several hours of close hand - to - hand combat , all of the town was in Mansfeld ' s hands . Aftermath . After capturing the city , Mansfeld demanded 120 , 000 golden guldens as war reparations and an additional 47 , 000 florin s for sparing the city and not burning it to the ground . However , soon the Holy Roman Empire , led by Bavaria , gathered enough forces and crossed the border with Bohemia , heading towards Pilsen and Prague . The newly elected Bohemian king , Frederick V of the Palatinate was aware of the huge superiority of his enemies ' forces and ordered his own army to regroup and attack each of the advancing armies separately . However , he was abandoned by most of his allies and his armies dispersed in the dense forests between Pilsen and Prague , which resulted in a decisive defeat in the Battle of White Mountain .

Texel Disaster The Texel Disaster took place off the Dutch coast on the night of 31 August 1940 and involved the sinking of two Royal Navy destroyers and damage to a third and a light cruiser . The disaster was caused by a destroyer flotilla running into an unmarked minefield which caused serious damage to one vessel ; two more destroyers were sunk going to the aid of the first , and a light cruiser sent as an escort was slightly damaged by a mine on the return journey . In all , the disaster caused around 300 deaths , with a further 100 men injured or taken prisoner of war . The disaster . On the night of 31 August 1940 , the British 20th Destroyer Flotilla — consisting of , , , and — sailed from Immingham to the Dutch coast northwest of Texel to lay mines . The flotilla was joined by part of the 5th Destroyer Flotilla consisting of , and . While the ships were laying mines , air reconnaissance detected a German naval force moving west from Terschelling towards Britain ; fearing an invasion the 20th flotilla was ordered to intercept . Whilst heading for this German force the flotilla ran into a newly laid , uncharted minefield and " Express " was badly damaged , losing most of her bow . The explosion caused heavy casualties : ninety of the 175 men on board were killed or wounded , including her captain , J . G . Bickford , who was injured by the explosion . The flotilla commander , Lieutenant - Commander Crouch , moved his ship , " Esk " , to assist " Express " but " Esk " also hit a mine and the vessel swiftly sank , killing all on board , save one man . " Ivanhoe " then went to transfer the wounded from " Express " but also hit a mine and was badly damaged , the explosion killing a further 53 men and wounding the majority of the crew . Several life rafts , carrying shipwrecked sailors , drifted into the Dutch coast where those on board were detained by the German authorities as prisoners of war . 1 September brought " Kelvin " and " Jupiter " from the 5th flotilla to help rescue the shipwrecked crews and later two light cruisers — and — arrived as an escort . " Ivanhoe " was scuttled by fire from " Kelvin " and the ships returned to port . " Jupiter " towed the hulk of " Express " until tugs could be sent out to take over . On the way , " Galatea " hit a further mine and was slightly damaged . Aftermath . The final toll of the disaster was approximately 300 killed , with a further 100 injured or taken prisoner ; this was the greatest loss of life suffered by Nore Command since the evacuation of Dunkirk . The German " invasion force " turned out to be a small minelaying unit transferring from Cuxhaven to Rotterdam . The casualties returning from the disaster , some badly burned , contributed to the myth that a German invasion had been repulsed by the use of burning oil floated on the sea . One theory amongst British civilians and press of the time laid the blame for the disaster with Lord Louis Mountbatten .

Aulus Pudens Aulus Pudens was a native of Umbria and a centurion in the Roman army in the late 1st century . He was a friend of the poet Martial , who addressed several of his " Epigrams " to him . He has been identified by some with Saint Pudens , an early Roman Christian . Martial writes of Pudens ' marriage to " " Claudia Peregrina " " ( " Claudia the Foreigner " ) in " Epigrams " IV : 13 , who is likely identical with Claudia Rufina , a Briton he writes of in " Epigrams " XI : 53 . Martial also writes of Pudens ' s passions for young male slaves , his desire to own original copies of Martial ' s poems , and his ambitions of being promoted to " Primus Pilus " , the chief centurion of a Roman legion . In one poem ( " Epigrams " VI : 58 ) he writes of a nightmare that Pudens had been killed in action in Dacia . Identification as Saint Pudens . It has long been speculated that Pudens and his wife Claudia may be identified with the Claudia and Pudens mentioned in 2 Timothy in the New Testament . William Camden ' s 1586 work " Britannia " makes this identification , citing John Bale and Matthew Parker . Camden ' s contemporary , the Vatican historian Caesar Baronius , came to the same conclusion in his " Annales Ecclesiastici " , and it was followed by ecclesiastical historians such as James Ussher in the 17th century and John Williams in the 19th . However , beyond the coincidence of names - the name Claudia was borne by every female member of the " gens Claudia " , a prominent aristocratic Roman family , and Pudens was not uncommon as a Roman " cognomen " - there is no evidence of a link between the Claudia and Pudens mentioned by Martial and the Claudia and Pudens referred to in 2 Timothy . Martial wrote in the 90s , while 2 Timothy is traditionally dated to the 60s . Some scholars consider the Pastoral Epistles to be pseudepigraphical , which would allow them to be dated to the 90s , but make their contents doubtful . The fact that the names Claudius and Pudens are separated in 2 Timothy by the name Linus also suggests they were not a married couple . Whether or not the Pudens of 2 Timothy is the same person as the saint of that name is also disputed .
