Before the Big Bang occurs, heavenly teams work together to establish the parameters of space, create time and mass, and determine the answers to complex questions. But when the leaders learn space of a demonstration project is about to collapse, each takes the failure personally especially Heyl, a rising star plucked from the King’s subjects. Many in the Realm aligned themselves with Heyl anticipating the day when he should replace Micha as the most powerful one in the Realm except for the Kings. Heyl places the blame for the failure on one of the members of the Council of Seven. In spite of this they allow Heyl to continue to coordinate the Project. But when interruptions and sabotage cause delay, only time will tell if Heyl and his minions can outwit the Kings and transform the destiny of the world. In this fascinating story, a rising star sets out on a dangerous and uncertain quest to depose the Kings as the universe waits to be created. - Inbunden, 2010

Owners of estates and titles in the peerages of England, Scotland and Ireland were more, rather than less, likely than ordinary people to experience dramatic and gruesome deaths and certainly more likely to have them recorded. This study, drawing on the pages of 'The Complete Peerage', describes some 7,000 such deaths, revealing when, where and how they occurred and how they were commemorated. In the Middle Ages, war, execution, imprisonment, plague, poison and sheer misfortune brought an end to many noble lives. In the sixteenth century wars, executions and murders continued to take their toll alongside 'affrays' or 'skirmishes' so often blamed for deaths in Scotland and Ireland; and ill-health in amazing variety. Wars at home, at sea and abroad were fatal for many in the seventeenth century, wars overseas in the eighteenth, but by then death from too much food or drink was much more common and death in fashionable mansions in London's west end more usual than in ancestral castles. In the nineteenth century came deaths in remarkable places, sometimes very suspicious. - Del 36 - Studies in the History of Medieval Religion
Jocelin of Wells: Bishop, Builder, Courtier

Tillfälligt slut
The life and career of Jocelin of Wells examined, with a particular emphasis on his role in the reconstruction of the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace.Jocelin, bishop of Wells [d. 1242], is an iconic figure in his native city; but his career as courtier and statesman moved far beyond the west country. From a family network which had produced bishops over several generations, heplayed a major role in a developing diocese and mother church, and in the growth of towns, fairs and markets in early thirteenth-century Somerset. He had a crucial influence on the completion of what was to become Wells Cathedral,and on the Bishop's Palace beside it.The essays in this volume look at Jocelin's life and career from a variety of perspectives, with a particular focus on his involvement in the building work to complete the Cathedral, aswell as the erection of the earliest part of the Bishop's Palace. Architectural, archaeological and even botanical approaches are used to explain the curious physical nature of the Palace site, the significance of the work still standing there from Jocelin's time, and the possible sites of other contemporary work. A final chapter studies the design and purpose of Robert Burnell's additions to Jocelin's work.Contributors: Robert Dunning, NicholasVincent, Jane Sayers, Diana Greenway, Sethina Watson, Tim Tatton-Brown, Jerry Sampson, Alex Turner, Christopher Gerrard, Keith Wilkinson, Mark Horton, David J.
