Henry the Fowler
Henry Ι the Fowler( or)( 876 – 2 July 936) was the duke of Saxony from 912 and the elected king of East Francia from 919 until his death in 936.
As the first non-Frankish king of East Francia, he established the Ottonian dynasty of kings and emperors, and he is generally considered to be the founder of the medieval German state, known until then as East Francia.
An avid hunter, he obtained the epithet" the Fowler" because he was allegedly fixing his birding nets when messengers arrived to inform him that he was to be king.
He was born into the Liudolfing line of Saxon dukes.
His father Otto I of Saxony died in 912 and was succeeded by Henry.
The new duke launched a rebellion against the king of East Francia, Conrad I of Germany, over the rights to lands in the Duchy of Thuringia.
They reconciled in 915 and on his deathbed in 918, Conrad recommended Henry as the next king, considering the duke the only one who could hold the kingdom together in the face of internal revolts and external Magyar raids.
Henry was elected and crowned king in 919.
He went on to defeat the rebellious dukes of Bavaria and Swabia, consolidating his rule.
Through successful warfare and a dynastic marriage, Henry acquired Lotharingia as a vassal in 925.
Unlike his Carolingian predecessors, Henry did not seek to create a centralized monarchy, ruling through federated autonomous stem duchies instead.
Henry built an extensive system of fortifications and mobile heavy cavalry across Germany to neutralize the Magyar threat and in 933 routed them at the Battle of Riade, ending Magyar attacks for the next 21 years and giving rise to a sense of German nationhood.
Henry greatly expanded German hegemony in Europe with his defeat of the Slavs in 929 at the Battle of Lenzen along the Elbe river, by compelling the submission of Duke Wenceslaus I of Bohemia through an invasion of the Duchy of Bohemia the same year and by conquering Danish realms in Schleswig in 934.
Henry's hegemonic status north of the Alps was acknowledged by King Rudolph of West Francia and King Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy, who both accepted a place of subordination as allies in 935.
Henry planned an expedition to Rome to be crowned emperor by the pope, but the design was thwarted by his death.
Henry prevented a collapse of royal power, as had happened in West Francia, and left a much stronger kingdom to his successor Otto I.
He was buried at Quedlinburg Abbey, established by his wife Matilda in his honor.

Speckled Snake
Speckled Snake was a chief of the Muscogee, later known as the Creeks, who spoke to the Muscogee people who were considering the advice of Andrew Jackson to move beyond the Mississippi in 1829.
He was against the idea.
Upon hearing Pres. Andrew Jackson speech about Indian removal west of Mississippi, Speckled Snake made this speech to his" Brothers."
" Brothers!
We have heard the talk of our great father; it is very kind, he says he loves his red children.
Brothers!
I have listened to many talks from our great father.
When he first came over the wide waters, he was but a little man, and wore a red coat.
Our chiefs met him on the banks of the river Savannah, and smoked with him the pipe of peace.
His legs were cramped by sitting long in his big boat, and he begged for a little land to light his fire on.
He said he had come over the wide waters to teach Indians new things, and to make them happy.
He said he loved his red brothers, which is very kind.
The Muscogees gave the white man land, and kindled him a fire, that he might warm himself; and when his enemies, the pale faces of the south, made war on him, their young men drew the tomahawk, and protected his head from the scalping knife."
" But when the white man had warmed himself before the Indian's fire, and filled himself with their hominy, he became very large.
With a step he bestrode the mountains, and his feet covered the plains and the valleys.
His hands grasped the eastern and western sea, and his head rested on the moon.
Then he became our Great Father.
He loved his red children, and he said," Get a little further, lest I tread on thee."
With one foot he pushed the red man over the Oconee, and with the other he trampled down the graves of his fathers and the forests where he had so long hunted the deer.
But our great father still loved his red children, and he soon made them another talk.
He said," Get a little further; you are too near me."
But there were some bad men among the Muscogees then, as there are now.
They lingered around the graves of their ancestors, till they were crushed beneath the heavy tread of our great father.
Their teeth pierced his feet, and made him angry.
Yet, he continued to love his red children; and when he found them too slow in moving, he sent his great guns before him to sweep his path."
" Brothers!
I have listened to a great many talks from our great father.
But they always begin and ended in this-" Get a little further, you are too near me."
Brothers!
Our great father says that" where we are now, our white brothers have always claimed the land."
He speaks with a straight tongue, and can not lie.
But when he first came over the wide waters, while he was yet small, and stood before the great chief at the council on Yamacraw Bluff, he said" Give me a little land, which you can spare, and I shall pay you for it."
Brothers!
When our great father made us a talk, on a former occasion, and said," Get a little further, go beyond the Oconee, the Ocmulgee; there is a pleasant country," he also said" It shall be yours forever."
" I have listened to his present talk.
He says that the land where you now live is not yours.
Go beyond the Mississippi; there is game; and you may remain" while the grass grows or the water runs."
Brothers!
Will not our great father come there also?
He loves his red children.
He speaks with a strait tongue, and will not lie.
Brothers!
Our great father says that our bad men have made his heart bleed, for the murder of one of his white children.
Yet where are the red children which he loves, once as numerous as the leaves of the forest?
How many have been murdered by his warriors?
How many have been crushed beneath his own footsteps?
Brothers!
Our great father says we must go beyond the Mississippi.
We shall be there under his care, and experience his kindness.
He is very good!
We have felt it all before.
Brothers!
I have done."

Bruno the Great
Bruno the Great(" Bruno of Saxony";; May 925 – 11 October 965 AD) was Archbishop of Cologne from 953 until his death and Duke of Lotharingia after 954.
He was the brother of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor.
Bruno was the youngest son of Henry the Fowler and his second wife Matilda.
While he was still a child, it was decided that he should pursue a clerical career.
In the early 940s he was educated in Trier by the leading scholar, Israel the Grammarian.
In 951, Otto appointed Bruno as his archchaplain.
Bruno soon received further advancement.
In 953, the Archbishopric of Cologne fell vacant just when Conrad the Red, Duke of Lotharingia and Otto's son-in- law, had joined a rebellion against Otto.
By appointing Bruno to the vacant position, Otto provided himself with a powerful ally against Conrad( much of Lotharingia fell under the archdiocese of Cologne) just when he needed one most.
By the next year, the rebellion had collapsed.
Otto deposed Conrad as Duke of Lotharingia and appointed Bruno in his place.
Bruno was to be almost the last duke of the whole of Lotharingia: in 959 two local nobles, Godfrey and Frederick, were appointed as margraves of Lower Lotharingia and Upper Lotharingia respectively.
Both margraves were recognised as dukes after Bruno's death.
The two duchies would only be reunited between 1033 and 1044 under Gothelo I, Duke of Lotharingia.
The combined positions of archbishop and duke — or" archduke", as his biographer Ruotger called him — made Bruno the most powerful man after Otto not just in Germany but also beyond its borders.
After the deaths of Louis IV of West Francia in 954 and Hugh the Great, his most powerful feudatory, in 956, Bruno, as brother- in- law to both of them and maternal uncle to their heirs Lothair, the new king, and Hugh Capet, acted as regent of west Francia.
From 962 onwards, Bruno was also appointed as Otto's regent in Germany while Otto was absent in Italy.
Bruno died in Reims in 965 and was buried in the monastery of St Pantaleon, which he had founded, just outside Cologne.
Bruno's position in Cologne was little short of royal.
Indeed, Otto delegated to Bruno and his successors as archbishop a number of normally royal privileges — the right to build fortifications and set up markets, to strike coins and collect( and keep) such taxes as the special ones on Jews in return for royal protection, those on market trading and tolls from traffic along the Rhine.
Even though Bruno's successors as archbishops would not be dukes as well, they would be the secular as well as the ecclesiastical rulers of Cologne until the battle of Worringen three centuries later.
Bruno's court in Cologne was the main intellectual and artistic centre of its period in Germany — far more so than that of his brother Otto, which was far more peripatetic and militarily oriented.
Among others, Ratherius and Liutprand of Cremona spent time at the court.
Many of the next generation of German ecclesiastical leaders were educated at Bruno's court, like Everaclus of Liège, Gerard bishop of Toul, Wikfrid, bishop of Verdun, and Theoderic, bishop of Metz.
Bruno's effect on medieval Cologne was immense.
Apart from building a palace, he extended the cathedral to the point where it was regarded as rivalling St Peter's in Rome( this cathedral burned down in 1248 and was replaced by the current one).
He brought the area between the old Roman walls and the Rhine within the city fortifications; and built new churches to Saint Martin of Tours within this area and to Saint Andrew just outside the northern city wall and a Benedictine monastery dedicated to St Pantaleon to the south- west of the city.
Bruno translated St. Patroclus' relics from Troyes and buried them in 964 at St Patrokli Dom in Soest, where Patroclus is still today venerated.
