The Honourable Daphne Diana Joan Susanna Guinness (born 9 November 1967) is a British and Irish fashion designer, art collector, model, musician, film producer and actor.
 She is an heir by direct descent of the 18th century Irish brewer Arthur Guinness.
Below is a list of the 18th century Irish Volunteer corps, alongside details such as their uniform and leaders.
 Names with an asterisk (*) after them attended the National Convention of 1782.
Black Spanish is now known to be a seedling of an American hybrid grape resulting from a cross of the American "Vitis aestivalis" species of grape with an unknown "Vitis vinifera" pollen donor.
 This hybridization is not known to have been purposeful, and may have occurred naturally, as was the case with many of the early American grape cultivars.
 Recently, it was revealed from the microsatellite DNA (a.k.a. Simple Sequence Repeats or SSRs) analyses conducted on various 'Jacquez cultivars' by Dr Jerry Rodrigues that at least two of the European accessions (grapevine collections) which are presently curated in Europe were originally derived from the oldest known Jacquez cultivar (the Madeira Jacquez).
 The original American hybrid grape parent had found its way to the Madeira Islands early in the 18th century (where it was called Jaquez or Jacquet) and thence to France.
 Lenoir is another such seedling similar to Black Spanish which was propagated by Herbemont.
 Many other historical names appeared on the scene throughout the early history of these Jacquez seedlings such as Jack, Blue French, Ohio, and El Paso, among others.
 For example, Herbemont tells us that he received Lenoir seeds from a man named Lenoir who cultivated it near Stateburg SC, in the vicinity of the Santee River sometime in the 18th Century.
 Lenoir made its way to Texas early, where it even took on the names El Paso and Black Spanish.
 From its wild South Carolina parent, Lenoir (and also Black Spanish) carries natural resistance to the Phylloxera pest, as well as to the deadly Pierce's Disease, which is a common threat to "Vitis vinifera" vineyards in warm winter areas of the United States.
 Lenoir was also one of the American vines which the grape breeder Thomas Volney Munson experimented with in the late 19th Century in Denison, Texas.
 Prior to its use by Munson, Lenoir was grown and used in wine by Nicholas Herbemont of Columbia, South Carolina in the 1830s, though to a lesser extent than the similar, lighter-skinned variety "Warren" ("Brown French") which become known as Herbemont because of his promotion of that variety.
 Lenoir was introduced to Europe in the mid-19th Century, where French vintners were intrigued by its similarity to European "Vitis vinifera" winegrapes, and gave it the names Jacquez and Jacquet.
 It became an important direct producing grape in Europe during the phylloxera crisis, and later was used to some extent as a rootstock to protect the classic vinifera grapes from phylloxera.
 Ulysses P. Hedrick's famous "Grapes of New York" in 1908 provides the seminal discussion of Lenoir and many of the early North American grapes.
Optimist In Black is the first studio album of British-Irish heiress Daphne Guinness.
 It was released on May 27, 2016 by Agent Anonyme.
Granuaile is a blend of Classical and Irish Folk Music written by Shaun Davey for singer Rita Connolly.
 It is based on the life and times of the 16th century Irish pirate queen Gráinne O'Mally, who was also known as Granuaile.
 The album was recorded using a 35 piece chamber orchestra joined by uilleann pipe soloist Liam O'Flynn, acoustic guitar, Irish harp and percussion, and special guest Donal Lunny on bouzouki.
The Longs in Ireland got their names from a number of different origins.
 Some are of English, Scottish and Norman descent.
 The Norman de Long and le Lung arrived in the 11th century with the Anglo-Norman conquest in 1066 AD and established in numerous locations.
 A number of Irish Gaelic septs of O'Longain and O'Longaig contributed to the origin of the name.
 One sept was located in County Armagh, but the greater numbers were in County Cork at Cannovee and also at Moviddy.
 The Longs lost all their lands in the upheavals of the 17th century.
 The name is found in its greatest numbers in Munster, County Cork being most favored.
 The line of direct descent from the last elected chieftain to the present day is unbroken — the official title is styled "O'Long of Carrenelongy".
 The Irish origin also comes from "Lonklin" from county Tipperary and Dublin.
Evi Gkotzaridis is a European historian whose work focuses on 20th century Irish and Greek history.
 Her critically acclaimed book "Trials of Irish History" gave the first detailed analysis of the revisionist debate in Ireland.
 She has also authored a book called "A Pacifist's Life and Death," the first historical biography detailing the life, time and achievements of Grigorios Lambrakis.
 Lambrakis was an athletic champion, doctor, politician and Greece’s most committed defender of democracy and peace.
 He was mortally struck on the head with a club by Right-wing 'parastate' individuals, shortly after he had delivered the keynote speech at an anti-war meeting in Salonica, on 22 May 1963.
Henry Digby Morton (1906–1983) was an Irish fashion designer and among the leading names of British couture in the period from 1930-50.
 He was also among the pioneers of ready-to-wear fashions in the 1950s.
 Successful on both sides of the Atlantic, he redefined women's suits and tailoring, earned himself the moniker 'Daring Digby' for his US fashion venture and helped to establish the Incorporated Society of London Fashion Designers, an early forerunner of the British Fashion Council.
The Mughal emperors, from the early 16th century to the early 18th century, built and ruled the Mughal Empire on the Indian subcontinent, mainly corresponding to the modern countries of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
 The Mughals were a branch of the Timurid dynasty.
 Their power rapidly dwindled during the 18th century and the last of the emperors was deposed in 1857, with the establishment of the British Raj.
 The dynasty had Turco-Mongol roots from a Central Asian area now part of modern-day Uzbekistan, and the emperors claimed direct descent from both Timur (generally known in the West as Tamerlane the Great) and Genghis Khan, through his son Chagatai Khan.
The Kisra legend is a migration story shared by a number of political and ethnic groups in modern Nigeria, Benin, and Cameroon, primarily the Borgu kingdom and the people of the Benue River valley.
 The migration legend depicts the arrival of a large military force in what is currently Northern Nigeria around the 7th Century AD.
 The Borgu kingdom claimed direct descent from the leader of this migration and a number of other polities recognize the migration through ceremony and formal regalia.
 There are a number of different versions of the legend with Kisra sometimes being depicted as a religious and military rival to Muhammad near Mecca around the time that Islam was founded and sometimes as the remnant forces of a Persian king defeated in Egypt.
 The legend was a key piece of evidence in a number of Hamitic historical theories which argued that the political development of societies in sub-Saharan Africa was the result of contacts with societies from the Middle East (namely Egypt, Rome, and the Byzantine Empire).
