Fort Ward ( Florida ) Fort Ward was a Confederate States of America fort located in Wakulla County , Florida , at the confluence of the Wakulla River and St . Marks River and named after Colonel George T . Ward , owner of Southwood Plantation , Waverly Plantation , and Clifford Place Plantation south of Tallahassee . During the American Civil War , Confederate troops placed a battery of cannons at Fort Ward . History . The site on which Fort Ward stands was originally a camp site of Spanish explorer Pánfilo de Narváez , in 1528 , when he ventured north from Tampa . Narváez saw that the area was advantageous in a geographic sense . In 1539 , Hernando de Soto followed with his men . By 1679 , the Spanish governor of Florida started construction on the first fort ( named Fort San Marcos de Apalache ) using logs coated with lime to give the look of stone . The fort stood , until 1681 , then was burned and looted by pirates . In 1719 , Spanish Captain Jose Primo de Ribera arrived to construct a second wooden fort . The fort was called San Marcos de Apalache . The wood for construction was cut at Mission San Luis de Apalachee to the north . As a stone fort , its construction began in 1739 . The fort was turned over to the English in 1763 , half complete , as a result of the Napoleonic Wars . Spain regained control and ownership , by 1787 , reoccupying it for 13 more years . In 1800 , a former British officer named William Augustus Bowles attempted to unify and lead 400 Creek Indians against the Spanish , eventually capturing San Marcos . A Spanish flotilla arrived some five weeks later and re - assumed control of the fort . In 1818 , General Andrew Jackson invaded the territory and took San Marcos after raids originating in Spanish Florida had a deep impact in Georgia . Two captured British citizens , Robert Christy Ambrister and Alexander George Arbuthnot , were tried and found guilty of inciting Indian raids and executed , causing a diplomatic nightmare between the United States and England . In 1821 , Florida became the property of the United States and the fort was occupied by U . S . troops . In 1824 , the fort was abandoned by the U . S . and turned over to the Territory of Florida . By 1839 , the fort was returned to the U . S . and a federal marine hospital was built there 18 years later , using stones from the Spanish fort . The hospital provided care for victims of yellow fever . In 1861 , the final conflict took place at San Marcos when the Confederates took the fort and renamed it Fort Ward . From 1861 - 1865 , a Union squadron blockaded the mouth of the St . Marks River . The Battle of Natural Bridge eventually stopped the Union force that intended to take Fort Ward .
Gian Giacomo Medici Gian Giacomo Medici ( 25 January 1498 – 8 November 1555 ) was an Italian condottiero , Duke of Marignano and Marquess of Musso and Lecco in Lombardy . Biography . Gian Giacomo Medici was the brother of Giovanni Angelo Medici , who was later to be elected Pope as Pius IV . They were scions of an impoverished though patrician family of Milan not connected with the Medici of Florence , in spite of the Medici heraldic " palle " appearing in the contemporary engraving ( " illustration " ) : thus the nickname " Il Medeghino " , the " little Medici " . Gian Giacomo , the eldest of fourteen children , was banished from Milan after a daring murder of revenge in broad daylight . He fled to Lake Como where he gathered about him a band of brigands answerable to none but him . He threw in his lot as bodyguard to the future Duke of Milan , Francesco II Sforza , who had been reinstated in Milan by Emperor Charles V . The " Medeghino " gained a reputation for unscrupulous violence in the Sforza pay ; in partial recompense , he was made Marquis of Marignano on 28 March 1528 ( by Imperial patent and confirmed by Francesco Sforza II , Duke of Milan ) , and also Marquis of Musso and Lecco . That he fled to Lake Como was no coincidence . For , he was born in Valsolda which is a part of the community of Porlezza . Evidence can be found that Marquis Giacomo di Medici was born in Valsolda and even had a residence in the community of Porlezza . In the main church of Cima , which belongs to the community of Porlezza , an inconspicuous relief shows the lion of San Marco , a symbol of the alliance between Gian Giacomo de Medici and the former Republic of Venice . It was put there in honor of his achievements . A description of the relief can be found on a plaque alongside . It is likely that Gian Giacomo even had a residence in Cima , on the same spot where now stands a hotel , probably not called by chance Parco San Marco . Il Medeghino became a famous " condottiere " , or soldier of fortune , who fought in the pay of Charles V at the Battle of Mühlberg and elsewhere in Italy ( the " War of Siena " ) , in the Wars of Religion in France and in the Low Countries . The great engineer Agostino Ramelli trained with Gian Giacomo , who instructed him in mathematics and architecture . In 1543 he purchased the ancient fortified castle of Frascarolo , near present - day Induno Olona , in the Valceresio , which he converted into a sumptuous villa . In the summer of 1545 he married Marzia Orsini , daughter of Ludovico Orsini , conte di Pitigliano . He was made a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1555 , also the year of his death . Il Medeghino is buried in the Duomo of Milan . Since his only son , Camillo ( died after 1586 ) , was illegitimate , albeit made a Knight of the Order of Malta , Gian Giacomo ' s honors passed to his brother Agosto ( 1501 – 1570 ) .

Battle of Lottorf The Battle of Lottorf was fought between Denmark , and Schleswig - Holstein , on November 24 , 1850 , at Lottorf in Schleswig - Holstein , during the First Schleswig War . Denmark won the battle . Background . The commander of Schleswig - Holstein ' s army , General Karl Wilhelm von Willisen , tried to draw Denmark into sending its troops to Holstein , as he hoped that this deployment into a German province would result in the German states re - entering the war against Denmark , and he hoped that a Danish invasion would allow him to defeat it in detail . Unhappy with the lack of success this strategy was producing , the leadership of Schleswig Holstein pressured Willisen to go onto the offensive , which began by August 1850 . During the offensive , in the area north of Rendsburg and to the east around Eckernforde , skimishes took place in many villages , including Lottorf . Four took place in that settlement between August and November . In November 1850 , Schleswig Holstein planned to attacked the Danish outpost located there . Prelude . The attack would be made by two companies of the Schleswig - Holsteinian 11th Infantry Battalion . One would be kept in reserve to the south of the village , whilst the other one would be split into two parts . One part would attack the village from the front , and the other would move against it from the west . By the evening of November 23 , the two companies had taken up their positions . The Danish garrison was drawn from the 3rd Reserve Jager Corps , and it was made up of less men than the Schleswig - Holsteins against them . Battle . The Schleswig - Holsteins began their advance at 03 : 30 . The darkness did not prevent Danish sentries from quickly detecting the enemy movement , which allowed a defence to be organised . Not having the manpower to defend all of the village , the Danish troops withdrew to defend a farm on its northern outskirts . The farmhouse was then occupied by Danish troops , and the Schleswig - Holsteins attacked it , setting fire to the building by their shots . The Danes then fought from behind fences and other cover to the north , and were reinforced by two more soldiers . Another Danish - occupied village , Over Selk , was informed of the attack , and it dispatched 50 soldiers to assist the garrison . When they arrived , a counter - attack was started , and the Danes were able to fight into the now - burning village . The Schleswig - Holsteins withdrew from Lottorf by 04 : 30 . Aftermath . The Danes did not try to pursue the Schleswig - Holsteins . Due to the brief duration of the battle , and the fact that the darkness , followed by fires , led to limited visibility which resulted in a confused fight , the casualties sustained by both sides was light . No Danish deaths were reported , and Schleswig - Holstein recorded one dead and one wounded . The battle prolonged the war , which would not be over until early 1851 .
