Commodore 1570 - Commodore 1570 Commodore 1570 external floppy drive The Commodore 1570 was a 5¼" floppy disk drive for the Commodore 128 home/personal computer. It was a single-sided, 170KB version of the double-sided Commodore 1571, released as a stopgap measure when Commodore International was unable to provide large enough quantities of 1571s due to a shortage of double-sided drive mechanisms. Like the 1571, it could read and write both GCR and MFM disk formats. The 1570 utilized a 1571 logic board in a cream-colored Commodore 1541 case with a 1541 drive mechanism. Like the 1571, its built-in DOS provided a data burst mode for transferring data to the C128 computer at a faster speed than a 1541. Its ROM also contained some DOS bug fixes that didn't appear in.

This may be apocryphal. It was whispered after that time that every castle where she had been imprisoned was in ruins. Seeing that the Castle had by this time been abandoned for over 80 years, it's not surprising that this sort of rumour was able to flourish. 1582 Name of village becomes Kirby Muckelby: variants Mullox Muckle 1628 Disafforestation of.

Jacopo Sansovino - d’Antonio Sansovino (1486 - November 27, 1570) was an Italian sculptor and architect. He apprenticed with Andrea Sansovino whose name he subsequently adopted. In 1529 Sansovino became chief architect to the Procurators of San Marco, making himn one of the most influential artists in Venice. in the mid 1500s. He is best known for his work on the Piazza San Marco, specifically on the buildings the Zecca (public mint), the Library and the Loggetta..
James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray - Stewart, Earl of Moray (c. 1531 - January 23, 1570), Regent of Scotland from 1567. Moray was the illegitimate son of James V of Scotland and Lady Margaret Erskine, daughter of John Erskine, 4th Earl of Mar. After the return of his half-sister Queen Mary in 1561, he became her chief adviser. In 1562 he defeated a rebellion by George Gordon, Earl of Huntly, at Corrichie near Aberdeen. About this time Moray married Anne (d. 1583), daughter of William Keith, 1st Earl Marischal. After Moray opposed Mary's marriage to Lord Darnley in 1565, he was declared an outlaw and took refuge in England. Returning to Scotland after the murder of David Rizzio, he was pardoned by the Queen. He contrived, however, to be away at the time of Darnley's assassination, and.
John Dee - I, even deciding on the auspicious date for her coronation in 1558. Travelling widely abroad with a pension from Elizabeth I, and possibly acting as a spy, Dee strove to increase his knowledge and add to his library. His main published work was Monad Hieroglyphica (1564) a dense Kabbala influenced work on alchemy. But in 1570 he wrote the preface to the first English translation of Euclid's works. He became a close associate of many Elizabethan explorers and entrepreneurs such Sir Humphrey Gilbert. He met Edward Kelly (or Kelley), a convicted forger, in 1582 and Kelly became his companion. Kelly acted as intermediary for Dee in his attempts to receive visions from 'angels' using a globe of crystal - a magical system and language called Enochian was apparently derived from this.
John Whitgift - Margaret's Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, and his lectures gave such satisfaction to the authorities that on July 5 1566 they considerably augmented his stipend. The following year he was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity, and also became master first of Pembroke Hall and then of Trinity. He had a principal share in compiling the statutes of the university, which passed the great seal on September 25 1570, and in November following he was chosen as vice-chancellor. Macaulay's description of Whitgift as "a narrow, mean, tyrannical priest, who gained power by servility and adulation," is tinged with rhetorical exaggeration; but undoubtedly Whitgift's extreme High Church notions led him to treat the Puritans intolerantly. In a pulpit controversy with Thomas Cartwright, regarding the constitutions and customs of the Church cf England, his.
João de Barros - Barros João de Barros (1496 - October 20, 1570), called the Portuguese Livy, may be said to have been the first great historian of his country. Educated in the palace of King Manoel, he early conceived the idea of writing history, and to prove his powers, composed, at the age of twenty, a romance of chivalry, the Chronicle of the Emperor Clarimundo, in which he is said to have had the assistance of Prince John, afterwards King John III. The latter, on ascending the throne, gave Barros the captaincy of the fortress of St George of Elmina, whither he proceeded in 1522, and he obtained in 1525 the post of treasurer of the India House, which he held until 1528. The pest of 1530 drove him from Lisbon to his country.
John Caius - he obtained a grant for Gonville and Caius College to take the bodies of two malefactors annually for dissection; he was thus an important pioneer in advancing the science of anatomy. He probably devised, and certainly presented, the silver caduceus now in the possession of Caius College as part of its insignia; he first gave it to the College of Physicians, and afterwards presented the London College with another. His works are: Annals of the College from 1555 to 1572 translation of several of Galen's works, printed at different times abroad. Hippocrates de Medicamentis, first discovered and published by Dr Caius; also De Ratsone Vicius (Lov. 1556, 8vo) De Mendeti Methodo (Basel, 1554; London, 1556, Svo) Account of the Sweating Sickness in England (London, 1556, 1721), (it is entitled De Ephemera.
Joseph Justus Scaliger - in his travels. A close friendship sprang up between the two young men, which remained unbroken till the death of Louis in 1595. The travellers first went to Rome. Here they found Marc Antoine Muretus, who, when at Bordeaux and Toulouse, had been a great favourite and occasional visitor of Julius Caesar at Agen. Muretus soon recognized Scaliger's merits, and introduced him to all the men that were worth knowing. After visiting a large part of Italy, the travellers passed to England and Scotland, taking as it would seem La Roche Pozay on their way, for Scaliger's preface to his first book, the Conjectanea in Varronem, is dated there in December 1564. Scaliger formed an unfavourable opinion of the English. Their inhuman disposition, and inhospitable treatment of foreigners, especially impressed him..
Joan Boyle - he was 41 (quite a late marriage and thus perhaps particularly notable for its productivity in terms of issue) on October 6, 1565 in Canterbury. Her first child was (the eventual) Right Rev. John Boyle D.D. Oxford, Bishop of Cork and Cloyne, born in about 1564 in Canterbury, Kent, England. Note that the date of John Boyle's birth appears to possibly precede his mother's marriage, which, considering his title, would potentially be historically interesting. Her second child was Sir Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, born on October 13, 1566, when Joan was 36. Her third child, Hugh Boyle was born in about 1568 in Canterbury, Kent, England Her first daughter and fourth child, Elizabeth Boyle was born in about 1570 in Canterbury, Kent, England Her second daughter and fifth child.
John Skelton - Tattered and jagged, Rudely rayne beaten, Rusty and moughte eaten, It hath in it some pyth." Colyn Cloute represents the average country man who gives his opinions on the state of the church. There is no more scathing indictment of the sins of the clergy before the Reformation. He exposes their greed, their ignorance, the ostentation of the bishops and the common practice of simony, but takes care to explain that his accusations do not include all and that he writes in defence of, not against, the church. He repeatedly hits at Wolsey even in this general satire, but not directly. Speke, Parrot has only been preserved in a fragmentary form, and is exceedingly obscure. It was apparently composed at different times, but in the latter part of the composition he.
John Cheke - living. In the spring of 1556 he visited Brussels to see his wife; on his way back, between Brussels and Antwerp, he and Sir Peter Carew were seized (May 15) by order of Philip II of Spain, taken to England, and imprisoned in the Tower. Cheke was visited by two priests and by Dr John Feckenham, dean of St Paul's, whom he had formerly tried to convert to Protestantism, and, terrified by the prospect of being burned at the stake, he agreed to be received into the Church of Rome by Cardinal Pole. Overcome with shame, he did not long survive, but died in London, carrying, as Thomas Fuller says (Church History), "God's pardon and all good men's pity along with him." About 1547 Cheke married Mary, daughter of Richard Hill,.
John Stow - In the British Museum there are copies of the editions of 1567, 1573, 1590, 1598 and 1604. Stow having in his dedication to the edition of 1567 referred to the rival publication of Richard Grafton (c. 1500 - c. 1572) in contemptuous terms, the dispute between them became extremely embittered. Stow's antiquarian tastes brought him under ecclesiastical suspicion as a person "with many dangerous and superstitious books in his possession," and in 1568 his house was searched. An inventory was taken of certain books he possessed "in defence of papistry," but he was apparently able to satisfy his interrogators of the soundness of his Protestantism. A second attempt to incriminate him in 1570 was also without result. In 1580 Stow published his Annales, or a Generale Chronicle of England from Brute.
