Krokodeilos Kladas Krokodeilos Kladas ( , 1425 – 1490 ) , also known as Korkodeilos , Krokondeilos , or Korkondelos , was a Greek military leader , specifically an armatolos , in the Morea ( medieval Peloponnese ) who fought against the Ottomans on behalf of the Republic of Venice during the latter 15th century . Biography . Kladas was a member of the prominent Kladas clan . When the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II ( r . 1444 – 1446 and 1451 – 1481 ) took the Morea in 1460 , Kladas handed over his castle of Agios Giorgios and was given in exchange the castle of Vardounia in Upper Mani and the territory of Elos . By 1465 , the Kladas brothers , Krokodēlos and Epifani , were leading bands of " stratioti " ( warrior bands ) on behalf of Venice against the Turks . They put Vardounia and their lands into Venetian possession , for which Epifani then acted as governor . The Kladas brothers were frequently complimented by Venetian officials , and received generous Venetian gifts . Krokodēlos Kladas and his followers stood as rebels against Mehmed , but the Venetian - Ottoman peace settlement , while giving them a full pardon , also returned territorial boundaries to what they had been in 1463 , so this put the Venetian - Kladas land holdings back into Ottoman possession . Kladas moved to Venetian - held Koroni . On October 9 , 1480 , Kladas led " stratioti " from Koroni to attack Ottoman holdings in Mani . A number of Turks were killed . Both Ottomans and Venetians put a price on his head . This revolt was joined in December by " stratioti " from Nafplion led by Theodore Bua . An army sent by the Sultan was defeated between Passavas and Oitylo in February 1481 . Later that month , a larger force under Mohammed Bey drove Kladas to Porto Kagio where he was taken on board a Neapolitan galley , leaving his revolt to wither in his absence . A peaceful settlement of the revolt was negotiated by the Ottoman governor of the Morea and Venetian official Bartolomeo Minio . Meanwhile , Kladas went with a Neapolitan army to Albania to aid an anti - Ottoman revolt there . It is not known when he returned to Mani . He was captured in battle near Monemvasia in 1490 and flayed alive . Family . The Kladas family is known in records from the Morea since 1296 when a " " Corcondille " " managed to capture a Frankish - held castle for the Byzantines . Members of the family made donations to a monastery at Mistra in 1366 and 1375 . A Krokodeilos is identified as one of the rebels against the Emperor Manuel II in 1415 . The " Crocodile " pun made there is a single appearance and never appears in contemporary documents relating to this Krokodēlos Kladas . The carved inscription on a donation to a church in Karytaina with the name transliterated as " Krokontēlos " is probably not related to him , and the carving is dated to the mid - 1300s . He and his brothers are strongly praised in Venetian sources . Kladas had been awarded a Venetian knighthood ( and a gold robe ) just before the 1480 revolt . Members of the family moved to Kefalonia , and continued to lead " stratioti " in Venetian service for at least another hundred years .

Charles had to accompany Philip to Spain to attend Philip ' s coronation as King of Castile but at Antwerp , Charles managed to escape . Shortly afterwards , Philip died in Spain and by July 1513 Charles had regained control over the whole of Guelders . In his conflict with the Habsburgs , Charles also became a major player behind the scenes of the Frisian peasant rebellion and at first financially supported the rebel leader Pier Gerlofs Donia . After the tides turned against the rebels , Charles stopped his support and switched sides together with his military commander Maarten van Rossum . In the Treaty of Gorinchem ( 1528 ) , Emperor Charles , son of Philip the Handsome , proposed to recognize Charles of Egmond as Duke of Guelders under the condition that he would inherit the Duchy should the Duke die without issue . The Duke , who at the time did not have any children , delayed signing the treaty . Another battle ensued , after which the passage was removed from the treaty .

Bourrelet The bourrelet of a projectile is the part or section of the projectile having the same diameter as the bore of the barrel through which the projectile is to be propelled . In the case of a sub - caliber projectile , such as an armor piercing round , a sabot surrounds the sub - caliber portion , with driving bands at the rear and the bourrelet supporting the front , aligning the armor - piercing portion with the center of the barrel of the gun . The bourrelet diameter is important in that if it is not a tight fit , the in - bore yaw angle will affect the stability of a projectile during flight .

Schirrmann received considerable support and donations , and in 1912 he opened the first youth hostel in the recently reconstructed Altena castle . In December 1915 , “ When the Christmas bells sounded in the villages of the Vosges behind the lines . . something fantastically unmilitary occurred . German and French troops spontaneously made peace and ceased hostilities ; they visited each other through disused trench tunnels , and exchanged wine , cognac and cigarettes for Westphalian black bread , biscuits and ham . This suited them so well that they remained good friends even after Christmas was over . ” Schirrmann was in a regiment holding a position on the Bernhardstein , one of the mountains of the Vosges , and separated from the French troops by a narrow no - man ’ s - land , which his account says was “ strewn with shattered trees , the ground ploughed up by shellfire , a wilderness of earth , tree - roots and tattered uniforms . ” Military discipline was soon restored , but Schirrmann pondered over the incident , and whether “ thoughtful young people of all countries could be provided with suitable meeting places where they could get to know each other . ” The German Youth Hostel Association . In 1919 he founded a nationwide youth hostel association , and in 1922 he retired from teaching to focus entirely on the youth hostel movement .
