| 101 | Bertha (c. 780 - after 11 March 824) was the seventh child and third da u g h t e r of Charlemagne, King of the Franks, by his second wife, Hildegar d . Bertha was raised with her brothers and sisters in the royal household o f C h a r l emagne, who had all of his children educated by tutors. An offer by Offa of Mercia to arrange a marriage between Bertha and his s o n , E c g frith, led to Charlemagne breaking off diplomatic relations with M e r c i a i n 790, and banning English ships from his ports. Like her sister s , B e r t ha never formally married; it has been speculated that Charlemag n e d i d n o t want his daughters married for strategic reasons, fearing po l i t i c al rivalry from their potential husbands. Bertha was in a long relationship with Angilbert, a court official, whi c h p r o d uced three children. During 794-5, Angilbert presented a poem as a c o u r t e n tertainment, praising the beauty and charms of Charlemagne's dau g h t e r s; Bertha is praised in particular for having critical discernment a n d a p p r eciation for poetry, which Angilbert points out is a cause for h i m t o b e c o ncerned about how she might receive his poem. | Carolingian, Bertha (I6381)

| 107 | Bran Ardchenn mac Muiredaig (died 795) was a King of Leinster of the Uí M u i r e d aig sept of the Uí Dúnlainge branch of the Laigin. He was the son o f M u i r e dach mac Murchado (died 760), a previous king. This sept had th ei r r o y a l seat at Maistiu (Mullaghmast) in South Kildare. He ruled from 7 8 5 - 7 9 5. Bran was a rival of Ruaidrí mac Fáeláin (died 785) of the Uí Fáeláin se p t f o r t h e throne. In 780 the high king Donnchad Midi (died 797) campai g n e d a g ainst Leinster and defeated Ruaidrí mac Fáeláin, devastating the t e r r i t ory of his adherents. That same year a congress of the synods of U í N é i l l a nd Laigin was held at Tara and peace was restored. Donnchad ma y h a v e b e en campaigning in the interests of Bran and he may have been i ns t a l l ed as king at this congress. In 782 Bran was defeated and captured at the battle of Curragh (near Ki l d a r e ) by Ruaidrí. Brans's allies Mugrón mac Flainn, king of Uí Failgi, a n d D u b d á C rích son of Laidcnén of the Uí Cheinnselaig were slain. Bran s u c c e e ded to the throne in 785. Bran had married Eithne ingen Domnaill (died 795), the sister of Donnch a d M i d i , the high king of the Clann Cholmáin. This relationship ensured g o o d r e l ations with the high king during his reign. In 794 Donnchad led a h o s t i n g into Munster to protect the Laigin. On 6 May 795 Bran and Eithne were assassinated in a church at Cell Cúil e D u m a ( n ear Stradbally, Co. Leix) by his successor Fínsnechta Cetharde c m a c C e l laig (died 808) of the Uí Dúnchada sept.

| 108 | Brian Bóruma was the first man to establish himself as High King of Ire l a n d b y f orce of arms alone in many centuries. Brian Boru (Middle Irish: Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig; modern Irish: Bria n B ó r a m ha; c. 941 - 23 April 1014) was an Irish king who ended the domi na t i o n o f the High Kingship of Ireland by the Uí Néill, and possibly en d e d V i k ing invasions of Ireland. Brian Boru was mentioned in Annals of I n i s f a llen and Chronicon Scotorum as "Brian mac Cennétig" (Brian, son of C e n n é t ig). The name Brian of Bóruma or Brian Boru was given to him posth u m o u s ly. Brian built on the achievements of his father, Cennétig mac Lo r c a i n , and especially his elder brother, Mathgamain. Brian first made h i m s e l f king of Munster, then subjugated Leinster, eventually becoming H i g h K i n g of Ireland. He was the founder of the O'Brien dynasty, and is w i d e l y r egarded as one of the most successful and unifying monarchs in m e d i e v al Ireland. | Cennetig, High King of Ireland Brian Bïauma Mac (I6089)

| 111 | By inheritance, Godfrey was Count of Verdun and he became Margrave of A n t w e r p as a vassal of the Duke of Lower Lorraine. The Holy Roman Empero r H e n r y I II authorized him to succeed his father as Duke of Upper Lorra in e i n 1 0 4 4, but refused him the ducal title in Lower Lorraine, for he f e a re d t h e power of a united duchy. Instead, Henry threatened to appoint h i s y o u n ger brother, Gothelo, as Duke in Lower Lorraine.

| 112 | C.T. Buckman was born in Visalia, California March 28, 1889 near the Ov a l i n n o r th Visalia in a private residence as were most born in Visalia i n t h a t e r a. The “C” stands for Clement and the “T” is just that, an ini ti a l . M o st close and good friends referred to him as “Buck” all his lif e b u t h i s w ife, Edna Tschumy Buckman, mostly called him “Clem” particul ar l y w h e n he displeased her. He always got the message! Among Edna’s re l a t i v es was her brother, George Tschumy, Sr., who for many years manage d T i t l e T rust & Insurance Company in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s as well a s s e r v i ng as Visalia Mayor in the 1930s and as Exalted Ruler of the Vis al i a E l k s during that same period. Buck and Edna married in 1912 in Visalia at the First Presbyterian Chur c h . T h e ir first house they shared was on West Center Street in Visalia n e a r V i s alia Union High School. In 1915 they had their only child, a dau g h t e r , Lois B. (Buckman) Simpson , who in 1939 married Stanley S. Simps o n , S r . a nd in 1940 had their only child, myself, Stanley, Jr. who live s i n t h e f a mily home today. I have three children all born in Visalia a nd a l l R e d wood High School graduates - Caroline, Diane and Meliss a . B uck w o u l d h ave been proud of his six great grandchildren and two great, g re a t g r a ndchildren. Buck was educated primarily at Exeter High School and Visalia High Scho o l f r o m w here he graduated in 1907. His interest at the time was in civ i l e n g i neering and bird hunting. As well, baseball was an important par t o f h i s l i fe as he played at Visalia Union High School as a catcher an d a c o u p l e of years out of high school played semi-professional in Band on, O r e g o n. After that and marriage, he concentrated on earning a livin g as a c i v i l e ngineer. One of his engineering highlights was in miscalc ulation s i n p l a nning the “highest curb” in downtown Exeter, the only on e in T ul ar e C o unty! In 1916, in downtown Visalia one day, he purchased a h ea l t h i n surance policy from a friend. After paying the monthly premium f o r a f e w m o nths, the friend offered to sell Buck his business, he accep t ed t h e o f fer and became an insurance agent. Soon afterward, he found o u t t h e s e ller owed a lot of premiums on past sales to the insurance com p a n y , a round $2,000 which was a lot of money in that era . Buck made th e p a y m e nts good to the insurance company and was forever immersed in th e i n s u r ance business. He officially started in the insurance business in 1916 and had a coupl e o f p a r t ners for 3-4 years. In 1920, he convinced Hymy Mitchell, then a b a n k t e l ler at the Bank of Italy on the corner of Church and East Main S t r e e t , which later became the Bank of America for years, to join him in t h e i n s u rance business. Hymy at the time was making $50.00 per month so t h e o f f e r to increase that cemented their lifetime relationship. Hymy Mi t c h e l l’s niece was Annie Mitchell, who was the Dean of Girls at Redwood H i g h S c h ool for years and the County of Tulare Historian for years. In 1 9 2 4 , B u ck and Hymy formed and incorporated Buckman-Mitchell, Inc. still k n o w n b y t hat name and operation today. At that time their office was lo c a t e d 1 22 N. Church , and since then in order, 506 W. Main, 309 W. Main a n d c u r r ently 500 N. Santa Fe, all in downtown Visalia, basically. | Buckman, Clement T. (I30477)

He raised the dynasty in power, f r o m r e g ional vassals of the kings of Munster, to challenging for the ki n g s h i p himself. He was the father of Brian Boru, who would continue Cen n é t i g 's war-like rise to power, by becoming High King of Ireland in 100 2 . He was the first King of the Dál gCais to lead an army outside his own t e r r i t ory (approximately modern day County Clare) and lead raids along t h e S h a n non, reaching as far north as Athlone.

| 118 | Cerball mac Dúnlainge (patronymic sometimes spelled Dúngaile, Irish: (d i e d 8 8 8 ) was king of Ossory in south-east Ireland. The kingdom of Ossor y ( O s r a ige) occupied roughly the area of modern County Kilkenny and wes te r n C o u nty Laois and lay between the larger provincial kingdoms of Mun s t e r a n d Leinster. Cerball came to prominence after the death of Fedelmid mac Crimthainn, K i n g o f M u nster, in 847. Ossory had been subject for a period to the Eóg a n a c h ta kings of Munster, but Feidlimid was succeeded by a series of we a k k i n g s who had to contend with Viking incursions on the coasts of Mun s t e r . A s a result, Cerball was in a strong position and is said to have b e e n t h e s econd most powerful king in Ireland in his later years.[4] Upo n h i s d e a th, he was succeeded by his brother Riagan mac Dúnlainge. | Mac Dúnlainge, King of Osraige Cerball (I9864)

| 119 | Charlemagne was King of the Franks from 768, King of the Lombards from 7 7 4 , a n d E mperor of what is now known as the Carolingian Empire from 800 , h o l d i ng these titles until his death in 814. He united most of Wester n a n d C e n tral Europe and was the first recognized emperor to rule in th e w e s t a f ter the fall of the Western Roman Empire, approximately three c e n t u r ies earlier. Charlemagne's reign was marked by political and socia l c h a n g es that had lasting impact on Europe throughout the Middle Ages. A member of the Frankish Carolingian dynasty, Charlemagne was the eldes t s o n o f P e pin the Short and Bertrada of Laon. With his brother, Carlom an I , h e b e c ame king of the Franks in 768 following Pepin's death and b eca me t h e s o le ruler three years later. Charlemagne continued his fathe r' s p o l i cy of protecting the papacy and became its chief defender, remo v in g t h e L ombards from power in northern Italy in 774. His reign saw a p e r i o d o f expansion that led to the conquests of Bavaria, Saxony and nor t h e r n S pain, as well as other campaigns that led Charlemagne to extend h i s r u l e o ver a large part of Europe. Charlemagne spread Christianity to h i s n e w c o nquests (often by force), as seen at the Massacre of Verden ag a i n s t t he Saxons. He also sent envoys and initiated diplomatic contact w i t h t h e A bbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid during the 790s, due to their mu t u a l i n terest in Spanish affairs. In 800, Charlemagne was crowned emperor in Rome by Pope Leo III. Althou g h h i s t orians debate the coronation's significance, the title represent e d t h e h e ight of his prestige and authority. Charlemagne's position as t h e f i r s t emperor in the West in over 300 years brought him into conflic t w i t h t h e Eastern Roman Empire in Constantinople. Through his assumpti on o f t h e i m perial title, he is considered the forerunner to the line o f H ol y R o m an Emperors, which persisted into the nineteenth century. As k i n g a n d e mperor, Charlemagne engaged in a number of reforms in administ r a t i o n, law, education, military organization, and religion, which shap e d E u r o pe for centuries. The stability of his reign began a period of c u l t u r al activity known as the Carolingian Renaissance. Charlemagne expanded the Frankish kingdom to include much of Western an d C e n t r al Europe. His rule is also associated with the Carolingian Rena is s a n c e, and his foreign conquests and internal reforms, shaped Western E u r o p e a nd the European Middle Ages. He is numbered as Charles I in the r e g n a l l ists of Germany, the Holy Roman Empire, and France. He was heavily built, sturdy, and of considerable stature. round head, l a r g e a n d lively eyes, a slightly larger nose than usual, white but stil l a t t r a ctive hair, a bright and cheerful expression, a short and fat ne ck , a n d a s l ightly protruding stomach. His voice was clear, but a littl e h i g he r t han one would have expected for a man of his build. He enjoye d g o o d h e alth, except for the fevers that affected him in the last few y e a r s o f h is life. Toward the end he dragged one leg. Even then, he stub b o r n l y did what he wanted and refused to listen to doctors, indeed he d e t e s t ed them, because they wanted to persuade him to stop eating roast m e a t , a s w as his wont, and to be content with boiled meat. | Carolingian, King Of The Franks Emperor Of The Romans Charlemagne (I7455)

| 122 | Charles of Valois (12 March 1270 - 16 December 1325), the third son of P h i l i p I II of France and Isabella of Aragon, was a member of the House o f C a p e t a nd founder of the House of Valois, whose rule over France woul d s t a r t i n 1328. The grandson of Louis IX of France, Charles of Valois was a son, brothe r , b r o t her-in-law and son-in-law of kings or queens (of France, Navarre , E n g l a nd and Naples). His descendants, the House of Valois, would beco me t h e r o y al house of France three years after his death, beginning wit h h i s s o n P hilip VI of France. Charles thus dreamed of more and sought all his life for a crown he nev e r o b t a ined. In 1284, the pope recognized him as King of Aragon (under t h e v a s s alage of the Holy See), as son of his mother, in opposition to K i n g P e t er III, who after the conquest of the island of Sicily was an en e m y o f t h e papacy. Charles then married Marguerite of Sicily, daughter o f t h e N e a politan king, in order to re-enforce his position in Sicily, s up p o r t ed by the Pope. Thanks to this Aragonese Crusade under taken by h i s f a t h er Philip III against the advice of his brother, the future Phil i p t h e F a ir, he believed he would win a kingdom and won nothing but the r i d i c u le of having been crowned with a cardinal's hat in 1285, which gav e h i m t h e s obriquet of the "King of the Cap." He would never dare to us e t h e r o y al seal which was made on this occasion and would have to reno un c e t h e t itle. His principal quality was to be a good military leader. He commanded ef f e c t i vely in Flanders in 1297. The king quickly deduced that his brothe r c o u l d c onduct an expedition in Italy against Frederick II of Sicily. T h e a f f a ir was ended by the peace of Caltabellotta.. | De Valois, Count of Valois Charles III (I39)

| 138 | Daughter o f Rhys Ap Tewdwr (King of Dyfed in South Wales) and Gwladys a p C y n f y n. Nesta (Princess of Deheubarth) was known as the most beautif ul w o m a n i n Wales. She had many lovers., She started the FitzHenry line ( t h r o u gh Henry I) and the FitzStephens line (through Owain ap Cadwgan). In 1090 Nesta was sent to the court of Henry I as a hostage for the goo d c o n d u ct of her people. Henry I, attracted by her good looks, she had a m a l e c h i ld Henry filius regis' from him, and thus started the FitzHenry line. After year s o f p e a c e she was returned to Geraldus and her people. Nest returned home to find the kingdom of Dyfed under Norman tutelage . T h e N o r m an's were colonizing the former kingdom of Dyfed and establishin g a c o l o n y of Flemish soldiers intermixed with English settlers in what i s n o w P e m broke. On Christmas 1108 Owain ap Cadwgan of Cardigan a cousin, came to visit G e r a l d a nd Nesta. He so lusted after her that he, that night, attacked t h e c a s t le. According to the Brut y Tywysogion, Owain and his men infilt r a t e d t he couple's home (asssumed by historians to be either Cilge rran C a s t l e o r Little Cenarch) and set fire to the buildings. When Gerald was w o k e n b y t he noise, Nest advised him to escape by climbing out through t h e p r i v y hole. Owain then seized Nest and her children. However, some s o u r c e s suggest that she went with him willingly. After the "abduction", O w a i n a p C adwgan carried her off and she had a male child from him Rober t F i t z S tephen , thus starting the FitzStephens line. This upset Henry I so much that the incident started a war. Gerald's in f l u e n ce was such that Owain and his father soon lost much of their terr i t o r y o f Powys as a result of Owain's actions. Owain himself was oblige d t o g o i n t o exile in Ireland. When he returned, in 1116, Gerald hunted h i m d o w n a nd killed him.

| 141 | David succeeded his brother, Alexander I, as king of Scots 25 April 112 4 . H i s r e ign was to last for twenty-nine years. He represented a new e r a i n S c o tland's history in a number of ways: First, King David, who had spent his most formative years growing up in a N o r m a n h ousehold, moved immediately to feudalize large areas of Scotland b y g r a n t ing charters to Norman barons and settling them in Scotland. One o f h i s f i r st charters, granted at Scone probably on the occasion of his e n t h r o nement, was to one of the senior Normans in his court, Robert of B r u s , g i ving him the lordship of Annandale (a holding of 200,000 acres a d j a c e nt to the English border north of Carlisle). Second, he either introduced or greatly developed a number of practices w h i c h w e re new to Scotland at that time. He was the first king of Scots t o s t r i k e his own coins, silver pennies (or 'sterlings') which were equa l t o E n g l ish sterlings. he established a new type of sheriffdom which w a s s i m i lar to the system used by the Norman kings in England He introduced the office of 'justiciar' (also modeled on Norman England ) ; a n d h e established many flourishing trading communities including Be r w i c k , Roxburgh, Edinburgh, Rutherglen, Renfrew, and Irvine. Third, King David completely transformed the church in Scotland through h i s u n p r ecedented generousity and support. He founded Tironensian, Ciste r c i a n , and Augustinian orders, and enlarged the Benedictine priory of D u n f e r mline until it was the second richest abbey in Scotland. He also f o u n d e d an Augustinian cathedral priory at St Andrews. He famously creat e d a s y s t em by which bishoprics were defined by territory, and encourag e d p a r i sh churches to be built within these territories, served by prie s t s w h o w ere supported by tithes. | Canmore, King Of The Scots David (I7156)

| 145 | Diarmait Dian mac Airmetaig, also Diarmait Guthbinn, (died 689) was Kin g o f U i s n ech in Mide of the Clann Cholmáin. He was the grandson of Cona ll G u t h b inn mac Suibni (died 635), a previous king. His father Airmetac h C á e c h w as slain at the Battle of Mag Rath in 637.[5] Diarmait ruled f ro m 6 5 3 t o 6 89.[6] The feud between Clann Cholmáin and the Síl nÁedo Sláine of the early 7 t h c e n t ury had ended in victory for the Síl nÁedo Sláine who dominated t h e h i g h k ingship of Ireland in the second half of the 7th century. They b e g a n t o f eud among themselves, and Clann Cholmain was caught up in the f e u d a s w e ll.

| 146 | Diarmait mac Má el na mBó (died 7 February 1072) was King of Leinster, a s w e l l a s H igh King of Ireland (with opposition). He was one of the mos t i m p o r tant and significant kings in Ireland in the pre-Norman era. Diarmait belonged to the Uí Cheinnselaig, a kin group of south-east Le i n s t e r centred on Ferns. His father, Donnchad mac Diarmata, became know n m o r e c o mmonly by the epithet Má el na mBó ("Baldy of the Cattle"), h en c e D i a rmait's patronym. The last of Diarmait's ancestors to have been c o u n t e d as king of all Leinster, Crimthann mac É nnai, died in the late 5 t h c e n t ury; but Diarmait's more immediate forebears, most recently his g r e a t - grandfather Domnall mac Cellaig (died 974), had been counted among t h e k i n g s of the Uí Cheinnselaig. Diarmait's mother was Aife, daughter o f G i l l a P á traic mac Donnchada, king of Osraige. He had at least one si bl i n g , a b rother named Domnall whose son Donnchad mac Domnaill Remair l a t e r b e came king of Leinster. The Uí Cheinnselaig had been prominent in earlier times, but their pow e r h a d b e en broken at the battle of Á th Senaig in 738. The rival Uí D ú n l a i n ge, based in northern Leinster around Naas and Kildare, who also e n j o y e d the support of the powerful Clann Cholmá in kings of Mide, domin a t e d L e inster until the time of Brian Bó ruma. The decline of Clann Cho l m á i n , a nd the defeat inflicted on the Uí Dú nlainge, led by Má el Mó r d a m a c M u rchada, at the battle of Clontarf in 1014, changed the politic a l l a n d scape to favour the Uí Cheinnselaig once more. The return of the Vikings to Ireland in the early 10th century occasion e d t h e d e velopment of new towns on the coasts. The towns, centres of tr a d e a n d m anufacture, would give significant political power to those wh o c o u l d c ontrol their wealth. Kings of Leinster found themselves in a p ar t i c u larly advantageous position to exploit this new wealth as three o f t h e f i v e principal towns lay in or near Leinster. In Leinster proper, i n t h e s o u th-eastern corner dominated by the Uí Cheinnselaig, lay Wexfo rd . T o t h e w est of this, in the smaller kingdom of Osraige, which had b e en a t t a ched to Leinster since the late 10th century, was Waterford. Fi n al l y , t he most important Viking town in Ireland, Dublin, lay at the no r t h - e astern edge of Leinster. Compared to this, kings in the north and w e s t o f I r eland had easy access to no towns, while those in the south, i n M u n s t er, had access to two: Cork on the south coast and Limerick on t he w e s t c o ast. | Máel, High King Of Ireland Diarmait Mac (I7850)
