Château de Châteauneuf The Château de Châteauneuf , also known as the Château de Châteauneuf - en - Auxois , is a 15th - century fortress in the " commune " of Châteauneuf , 43 km from Dijon , in the Côte - d ' Or " département " of France . It is a vast stone building , 75 metres in length and 35 metres broad , situated on a rocky outcrop 475 metres above the surrounding plains . It dominates the valley of Canal de Bourgogne . History . The castle was built in 1132 by Jean de Chaudenay for his son Jehan , who took possession of it in 1175 and became Jean I de Châteauneuf . Facing the threat of the Hundred Years ' War , the lords of Châteauneuf then built the powerful fortifications around the 12th century keep . After nine generations in the castle , the reign of the Châteauneufs ended in tragedy when in 1456 the last heiress , Catherine de Châteauneuf , was burnt alive for poisoning her second husband , Jacques d ' Haussonville . In 1457 , Philippe le Bon , duke of Burgundy , offered the fortress to his advisor Philippe Pot , also of the Order of the Golden Fleece ( ) and a knight of Saint Michael . He then modified the castle to make it more comfortable as a residence , in keeping with the style of the court of the Duchy of Burgundy . A chapel and a residence dated to this time were built out in the court of the castle , in the flamboyant Gothic architectural style . At multiple places in the castle one can find the device of Philippe Pot , " « Tant L Valt » " . Philippe died in 1493 without leaving an heir , so the castle went to his brother Guy Pot , then via various alliances to Marie Liesse de Luxembourg . With their entrance into the convent , the castle then passed to Charles de Vienne , count of Comarrin , and remained in the hands of this family for the next 150 years . In 1767 , Louis Henri de Vienne sold the castle to a rich banker . During the French Revolution , all royal symbols and armorial bearings were defaced or destroyed . The castle was then auctioned and passed through various hands until 1936 , when the count George de Vogue donated it to the state and Châteauneuf and its neighbouring village were declared as protected historical monuments ( ) . Architecture . The Château de Châteauneuf is a vast stone building , 75 metres in length and 35 metres broad .

" Nereus " remained in North Carolina waters until Rear Admiral Porter launched his successful attack against Fort Fisher on 13 January 1865 . In the three - day struggle , a classic example of Army — Navy coordination , Union soldiers , sailors , and marines , supported by the deadly effective fire from Porter ' s warships , overran Wilmington ' s defenses , closing the vital Confederate seaport . " Nereus " crewman Thomas Kane was awarded the Medal of Honor for gallantry in this action . On 17 January , " Nereus " got underway towing the monitor to Charleston for final operations against the staunchly defended seaport which had witnessed the opening of hostilities almost four years before .

Warriors of Christ the King Guerrilleros de Cristo Rey ( lit . " Warriors of Christ the King " ) was a Spanish paramilitary fascist group that operated in the late 1970s . They emerged at a time of factionism within the Carlist movement . Historically Carlism was a traditionalist , legitimist and Catholic movement , supporting a different monarchial line to the one occupying the Spanish throne . But when the succession fell to Carlos Hugo , he began to support Social Democracy ideology under the banner of the Carlist Party . This caused large scale conflict within the movement ; many proclaimed his more traditionalist minded brother , Sixtus Henry , as Carlist " regent " . Probably the most notable incident involving the group was the " Montejurra Incidents " of 1976 , which happened during the annual Carlist pergrination to that mountain in Navarre . During this attack , two supporters of the Carlos Hugo faction ( Ricardo Garcia Pellejero and Aniano Jimenez Santo ) were killed . José Luis Marín García Verde and Hermenegildo García Llorente , alleged members of this armed group , were arrested later , but were later released without investigation as Manuel Fraga Iribarne ( Member of Franco´s Dictatorship board ) gave direct instructions not to prosecute these murders . The presence of known European Fascist criminals from Argentina ( called " Triple A " or " Alianza Apostólica Anticomunista " , responsible for several murders in Spain too ) and Italy in this has left to some speculating a link to the Cold War - era Operation Gladio .

Battle of Lang - shan Jiang The Battle of Lang - shan Jiang ( 狼山江之戰 ) was a naval ( river ) battle which occurred in 919 ( not 932 as is often cited ) during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in China between the states of Wuyue and Wu . Forces . The two forces would appear equal , roughly 500 dragon ships on each side ( see dragon boat for more ) . The Wuyue were commanded by Wen - Mu - King and the Wu by Chien Yuan Kuan . The Wuyue had an ace , a double pump flamethrower . This flamethrower may have used gunpowder to ignite the petrol ( Greek fire ) . Wen - Mu - King apparently had the flamethrower ( or flamethrowers ) decorated with silver so that if the enemy captured it they ' d take the silver and leave the petrol and apparatus . Battle . The Wuyue managed to destroy with their flamethrower 400 enemy ships then captured 7000 prisoners . Analysis of battle . The source describes both sides as having " dragon like ships " . These could simply be normal war boats with dragon heads carved on . However , in Chinese culture , there are canoes with dragon heads which are used for various sporting events , in honour of an ancient Chinese philosopher . If they were using these types of boat , then it could be that normal military equipment ( i . e . warships ) was in short supply , and considering the chaos of this time , that could be possible . This could be the reason why they started inventing the flamethrowers , since oil at this stage was quite abundant in the rocks around some parts of China . We know from the Wujing Zongyao from 1044 that at that stage fire drug ( proto - gunpowder ) was being used to ignite oil from flamethrowers . It could therefore be , that in the chaos , Wen - Mu - King may have started using what was then a type of medicine ( or at the most , entertainment ) as a slow match for his flamethrowers . Aftermath . The flamethrower would go on to be an effective but dangerous weapon for the Chinese . Gunpowder ( probably already used in incendiary arrows and primitive grenades ( see Early thermal weapons ) would go on to be used in more effective and terror izing ways in China and the world .
