Battle of Bar - sur - Aube The Battle of Bar - sur - Aube was fought on 27 February 1814 , between the First French Empire and the Austrian Empire . The French were led by Nicolas Oudinot , while the Austrians and their Bavarian allies , forming the Army of Bohemia , were led by Karl Philipp Fürst zu Schwarzenberg . The Austrians were victorious . Napoleon I himself , having defeated the Allies at Montereau on 17 February , forcing them to retreat toward Troyes beyond the river Aube , had turned north to the valley of the Marne to try to impede the renewed drive toward Paris by the Army of Silesia ( mostly Prussians ) under Field Marshal Gebhard von Blücher ; the marshals he left behind were ordered to make it appear as though he was still with them . Schwarzenberg tested that assumption by advancing upon Bar - sur - Aube ( in part because Alexander I of Russia and Frederick William III of Prussia wanted him to do so ) , and on the twenty - sixth Napoleon ordered Oudinot to follow Schwarzenberg to the town , near Troyes . When it was learned that Napoleon was preparing to attack the Army of Silesia , Schwarzenberg took the opportunity to strike first at Oudinot with a Russian corps under General Peter Wittgenstein and a Bavarian corps under General Karl von Wrede . Although Oudinot enjoyed a measure of numerical superiority at the outset , many of his troops were cut off from the main theater of the battle by their deployment astride the Aube and were therefore unable to participate , much of the French artillery being stuck on the wrong side of the river . Not only was Oudinot forced to retreat over the Aube , but he continued retreating for the next few days , pursued by the Allies and leaving Schwarzenberg in an advantageous position , able to concentrate his forces at Troyes as well as to take possession of the river crossings of the Seine .
Battle of Sauðafell The Battle of Sauðafell ( " Orrustan á Sauðafelli " ) occurred in 1550 , when the forces of Catholic Bishop Jón Arason clashed with the forces of Daði Guðmundsson of Snóksdalur . Location . Sauðafell was an important part of Daði ' s fief in West of Iceland , close to his Estate in Snóksdalur and vital to the Bishops campaign against Lutheran influence in the country as it blocked his lines of communication in the West to the South of Iceland . The battle . Jón Arason brought with him a minimal force of around 100 men and took Sauðafell without opposition initially . Daði responded by secretly raising an elite force of similar size from his followers , half of which was heavily armored " sveinar " and half unarmored but equipped with guns . Mounted and covered in gray cloaks they marched under the cover of dark and foggy weather unnoticed by the Bishop ' s forces , surprising them early in the morning . The battle was nonetheless close fought and Daði was almost shot down by gunfire when he led his troops into the fray . After being cornered in the Church the Bishop accepted Daði ' s terms and surrendered .
Nicolaus of Aetolia Nicolaus ( in Greek Nικoλαoς ) was an Aetolia n , and a general of Ptolemy IV Philopator ( 221 – 204 BC ) , king of Egypt . In 219 BC we find him besieging Ptolemais , which was held by the traitor Theodotus , who had revolted from Ptolemy to Antiochus III the Great ( 223 – 187 BC ) . Nicolaus , however , abandoned the siege on the approach of the Seleucid king . In the same year he did much towards baffling the attempt of Antiochus on Dora in Phoenicia , by sending constant succours to the besieged . In 218 BC he was invested by Ptolemy with the supreme command in Coele - Syria , an appointment fully warranted , according to Polybius , by his military experience and bravery . He was , however , dislodged by Antiochus and his generals from a strong position which he had taken up between the range of Mount Lebanon and the sea near the town of Porphyreon , and was obliged to seek safety in a precipitate flight towards Sidon . It may be conjectured that after this he deserted to Antiochus : at least , we find the name of Nicolaus of Aetolia mentioned among the generals of the Syrian king in his campaign in Hyrcania , 209 BC .

Jean Étienne Championnet Jean Étienne Vachier , called Championnet ( 13 April 1762 , Alixan , Drôme - 9 January 1800 ) , French general , enlisted in the army at an early age and served in the Great Siege of Gibraltar . When the Revolution broke out he took a prominent part in the movement , and was elected by the men of a battalion to command them . In May 1793 he was charged with the suppression of the disturbances in the Jura , which he quelled without bloodshed . Under Pichegru he took part in the Rhine campaign of that year as a brigade commander , and at Weissenburg and in the Palatinate won the warm commendation of Lazare Hoche . At Fleurus his stubborn fighting in the centre of the field contributed greatly to Jourdan ' s victory . In the subsequent campaigns he commanded the left wing ‘ of the French armies on the Rhine between Neuwied and Düsseldorf , and took a great part in all the successful and unsuccessful expeditions to the Lahn and the Main . In 1798 Championnet was named commander - in - chief of the " army of Rome " which was protecting the infant Roman republic against the Neapolitan court and the British fleet . Nominally 32 , 000 strong , the army scarcely numbered 8000 effectives , with a bare fifteen cartridges per man . The Austrian general Mack had a tenfold superiority in numbers , but Championnet so well held his own that he ended by capturing Naples itself and there setting up the Parthenopaean Republic . But his intense earnestness and intolerance of opposition , plus his penchant for looting and an unwillingness to curb atrocities by his troops , soon embroiled him with the civilians . He became involved in an unseemly quarrel with Guillaume - Charles Faipoult , one of the “ Representatives on mission ” ( political commissar ) , was relieved , and subsequently imprisoned for a short time . The following year , however , saw him again in the field as commander - in - chief of the " army of the Alps . " This , too , was at first a mere paper force , but after three months ' hard work it was able to take the field . The campaign which followed was uniformly unsuccessful , and , worn out by the unequal struggle , Championnet died at Antibes . In 1848 a statue was erected in his honour at Valence . The figure of General Championnet is linked to the traditional carnival of Frosinone where the puppet representing the general is carried around the streets of the city and then given to the flames .
Basil the Copper Hand Basil the Copper Hand ( , died c . 932 ) was a Byzantine rebel leader active in Bithynia in the 920s and early 930s . Biography . Basil was born in Macedonia ( or possibly the theme of Macedonia ) . In the 920s , in the theme of Opsikion in Bithynia , he assumed the name of the general Constantine Doukas , who had been killed during an attempted coup in 913 , and assembled a large following . He was arrested by the local " tourmarches " , however , and brought to Constantinople , where he was tried by the Eparch and his hand cut off . Upon returning to Opsikion , he fashioned for himself a copper hand holding a large sword , gathered poor and destitute people and began a rebellion . With his followers , he seized the stronghold of Plateia Petra and made it his base . The rebels raided the surrounding countryside indiscriminately , and returned with their plunder to Plateia Petra . The revolt was finally subdued by the imperial army , and Basil was brought back to Constantinople . There , he accused several magnates of being involved in the revolt , but an enquiry proved these claims false , and he was burned at the stake in the city ' s Forum Amastrianum . The revolt , dated to between 928 and circa 932 , is often seen as a popular revolt expressing peasant discontent , and a major incentive for Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos ' s ( r . 920 – 944 ) agrarian legislation of 934 .

Alexander Hamilton ( sailor ) Alexander Hamilton ( before 1688 – after 1733 ) was a Scottish sea captain , privateer and merchant . Biography . In his early years he travelled widely through Europe , the Barbary coast , the West Indies , India and South - east Asia .

He was appointed commander of the Bombay Marine in June 1717 , in which post he suppressed piracy . The main extant source of information on Hamilton is his own book , " A New Account of the East Indies " ( 1727 ) . The term then covered a much wider geographic area than it does today - ' most of the countries and islands of commerce and navigation , between the Cape of Good Hope and the island of Japan . ' Illustrated with lively anecdotes , it provides a valuable insight into life in early modern Asia .
Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan ( ) ( d . 673 AD ) was a Muslim general and administrator and a member of the clan of the Umayyads . Biography . Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan was adopted by Abu Sufyan and was born in Ta ' if ( in what is now Saudi Arabia ) to a member of the Banu Fuqaim , of unknown parentage , due to the promiscuity of his mother . The Umayyad Mu ` awiyah Sufyan , governor at Damascus , opposed Ali ' s rule and repeatedly tried to lure his kinsman Ziyad to his camp . In 659 CE , Caliph Ali sent Ziad ibn Abi Sufyan to suppress a Persian rebellion in Estakhr . Ziad succeeded at this and stayed on as governor . In 661 Ali was assassinated and Mu ` awiyah succeeded as Caliph . In 662 , he sent Mughira , his governor at Kufa , to Istakhr to recall Ziyad to Damascus and Ziyad obeyed . In 664 , Muawiyah and Ziyad reached an agreement : the Caliph recognised Ziyad as a brother - Ziyad now adopted the name ibn Abi Sufyan - and appointed him governor at Basra , replacing the Umayyad ` Abd Allah , who had proved a great general but a poor administrator . This act was then and later considered a scandal in Islam , criticised in contemporary satire and by the 13th century historian Ibn al - Athir : Suyuti wrote that Muawiya decision to declare Ziayad as his brother , and thus allowing Ziyad to receive inheritance from Abu Sufyan , to be against the Sharia Ziyad ' s first act in Basra was to deliver a khutba from the pulpit . This speech promised that Umayyad jurisprudence would be swift and talionic : " We have brought a punishment to fit every crime . Whoever drowns another will himself be drowned ; whoever burns another will be burned ; whoever breaks into a house , I will break into his heart ; and whoever breaks into a grave , I will bury him alive in it . " And Ziyad warned : " I demand obedience from you , and you can demand uprightness from me . . . Do not be carried away by your hatred and anger against me , it would go ill with you . I see many heads rolling ; let each man see that his own head stays upon his shoulders ! " ( Morony pp . 78 – 81 ) In 670 , Mughira governor of Kufa died of plague , and caliph Mu ' awiya handed the administration of that city to Ziyad as well . Ziyad altered the city ' s plan from seven districts to quarters . Hujr ibn Adi soon agitated against Ziyad , and Ziyad clapped him in irons and shipped him to Damascus . Ziyad also planned great mosques where he ruled , as a symbol of his supremacy and that of his religion . ( Cresswell pp . 12 – 13 ) In 671 , Ziyad sent 50 , 000 Arab troops to the Iranian oasis of Merv as a colony . This colony retained its native Kufan sympathies and became the nucleus of Khurasan . ( Muir pp . 295 – 6 ) Ziyad died in 673 , and Mu ` awiyah appointed his son Ubayd - Allah ibn Ziyad as successor .
Dassault MD 315 Flamant The Dassault MD 315 Flamant is a French light twin - engined transport airplane built shortly after World War II by Dassault Aviation for the French Air Force . Design and development . Design work on a twin - engined light transport started in 1946 with the MD 303 , a development of an earlier project for an eight - seat communications aircraft the Marcel Bloch MB - 30 . The prototype MD 303 first flew on 26 February 1947 powered by two Béarn 6D engines , designed to meet a French Air Force requirement for a colonial communications aircraft . A re - engined version was ordered into production at the new Dassault factory at Bordeaux - Mérignac . The production aircraft was a low - wing monoplane with twin tail surfaces and a tri - cycle undercarriage and powered by two Renault 12S piston engines . Three main versions of the aircraft now named Flamant ( means Flamingo in French ) were produced . The MD 315 10 - seat colonial communication aircraft ( first flown on 6 July 1947 ) , the MD 312 six - seat transport aircraft ( first flew on 27 April 1950 ) , and the MD 311 navigation trainer ( first flew on 23 March 1948 . The MD 311 had a distinctive glazed nose for its role as both a bombing and navigation trainer . Operational history . The first Flamant was delivered to the French Air Force in 1949 and deliveries of all versions was completed by 1953 The aircraft was used for pilot training , navigation training , light transport , maritime surveillance and light ground attack . During the Algerian War of Independence the plane was used for light attack with the Nord SS . 11 and AS . 11 antitank missiles or with machine guns , bombs , and rockets . The Flamant MD 311 ( which were based in Algeria to train pilots and navigators at first ) was the first aircraft in history to fire one of the world ' s first wire guided antitank missile in anger , using French Army SS . 11 antitank missiles , in a combat experiment to get at fortified caves located in deep mountain gorges , 1956 from an aircraft based with the special unit of the French Air Force in Algeria , GOM . 86 . The SS . 11 attacks proved extremely successful and the French Army which had provided the missiles , began an experiment which resulted in the worlds first attack helicopters firing antitank missiles . The Flamant stayed in service until 1981 . In addition to the French air force , the Flamant served in Cambodia , Madagascar , Tunisia , and Vietnam .
