Emperor Go-Daigo

Emperor Go-Daigo by Monkan-bō Kōshin (1278-1357).

Emperor Go-Daigo was a prominent figure in Japanese politics during the first half of the 14th century. He led a rebellion against the samurai government based in Kamakura, which was controlled by the increasingly dominant Hōjō regents. Although initially captured and exiled, Go-Daigo returned and resumed his fight against Japan's first shogunate.

The Hōjō clan sent an army under the command of Ashikaga Takauji to suppress the rebellion, but Takauji and his forces defected to Go-Daigo's cause. In 1333, Go-Daigo arrived at the gates of Kamakura. Facing no viable path to victory, the Hōjō clan collectively committed suicide. Kamakura was engulfed in flames and never fully recovered from this catastrophic event.

Following these events, Emperor Go-Daigo asserted imperial rule across Japan, seizing power between 1333 and 1336. During this time, he attempted significant reforms to restore the emperor's authority, which had been diminished for six centuries. However, he lacked the necessary resources and support to enforce his revolutionary vision effectively.

The Ashikaga clan���s revolt from Kyoto in 1336 marked the beginning of one of Japan's most unstable periods: the Nanboku-Chō period (1336–1392). This era ultimately led to the formation and consolidation of the Muromachi shogunate under Ashikaga rule.

Something about Sidonia von Borcke

Sidonia von Borcke is one of the most renowned figures in the history of Szczecin, remembered for the tragic tale of the noblewoman accused of witchcraft and subsequently executed.

Born in 1548 into a distinguished knightly family from Pomerania, Sidonia was celebrated for her striking beauty. She was romantically involved with Duke Ludwig von Wolgast, but their love was thwarted by the Duke of Pomerania, forcing the couple to part ways. Heartbroken, Sidonia reportedly cursed the House of Griffins, predicting that their dynasty would die out within fifty years.

The following years were turbulent for Sidonia. Stripped of her family estate and without a permanent residence, she was forced to move frequently. Financial hardships plagued her, and although she had multiple suitors, none of her engagements culminated in marriage.

As she aged, Sidonia became increasingly combative and isolated, surrounding herself with animals and practicing herbal medicine. Eventually, she was accused of witchcraft, with claims that she had cursed the Griffins. This political accusation sealed her fate.

Sidonia had no chance to defend herself. Numerous witnesses testified against her, and after enduring torture, she confessed. As a noblewoman, she was sentenced to death by beheading with a sword. Her execution took place on August 19, 1620, outside the walls of Szczecin. Her body was then burned at the stake.

Interestingly, around a dozen years later, the prophecy seemingly came true when the last Griffin ruler, Bogusław XIV, died without heirs. This reignited the legend of Sidonia, which continues to evoke both fear and fascination to this day.

Evidence of Vikings as the first Europeans to settle in Canada in ancient times

This article explores archaeological evidence that has been discovered of early Norse Viking settlements in Canada. Archaeologists uncovered the remains of a Viking settlement dating back to around 1000AD at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland. This is considered the most compelling proof that Vikings were the first Europeans to reach Canada and North America. The article also outlines aspects of the Viking way of life when they lived and farmed in Canada for a brief period, including crop cultivation, livestock herding, building construction and household items. Place names found in areas formerly inhabited by the Vikings provide additional clues of their presence. While their colonies did not last more than a few generations due to climatic changes and conflicts with indigenous populations, the Vikings remarkably managed to cross the Atlantic Ocean many centuries before other major European explorations. Their voyage demonstrated for the first time that land could be found across the ocean, inspiring later navigators. Therefore, the Vikings hold an important place as the earliest known settlers of Canada, though their stay was short-lived.

During the Early Greek Period, Sirens were imagined as humans with bird heads, but by the Classical Period they were sometimes drawn with human heads and torsos, but a fish tale. By medieval times, Sirens had become conflated with mermaids, lending to our modern Western conception of them. . . . #mermaid #classicalmythology #mythandlore #greekmyth #medievalhistory #mermaidtail #mermaidartwork #mermaidmagic #mermaidcore #mermaidcoreaesthetic #mercore #oceanlore #talesofthesea #sirensong #sirens #greekmythology #sirensofthesea (at The Deep Blue Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpv6YOxN8w6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
