 could import from any minor hockey organization. He was pleased with the changes since he felt that Manitoba's players had been targeted by other parts of Canada and that losing fewer players would improve the MAHA's chances in the Memorial Cup or Allan Cup playoffs. He was opposed to players from Western Canada being transferred to the wealthy junior teams in Ontario and Quebec supported by the NHL, but his motion to stop the professional influence in junior hockey and the movement of players was defeated at the CAHA general meeting in 1949.By the 1949–50 season, registrations with the MAHA had grown to exceed 4,000 players and included 125 teams outside of Winnipeg for the intermediate and minor hockey playoffs. Grants by the MAHA for the development of minor hockey in Manitoba grew from C$1,525 in 1946, to more than $6,000 by the end of the 1949–50 season. The Winnipeg Free Press wrote that <mask>'s presidency coincided with the MAHA's biggest growth and best financial situation that was driven by profits from the junior hockey playoffs. Journalist Maurice Smith credited <mask>'s leadership for the sustained growth, and that "when it came to making an important decision he has been unafraid upon whose toes he might tread". Past-president
<mask> declined a sixth term as MAHA president and was succeeded by Harry Foxton in October 1950. In the 1950–51 season, <mask> was named to an executive position within the Winnipeg Buffaloes senior hockey team, and was president of the States-Dominion Hockey League which included teams in Manitoba and North Dakota. He remained involved with the MAHA and served as its convenor of senior hockey and chairman of the finance committee from 1951 to 1954.He

 advocated for small towns to develop their own talent in local leagues rather than importing players, and noted that hockey in rural Manitoba had continued to grow and compensated for poor attendance in Winnipeg. The City of Winnipeg held a referendum during the civic elections on October 26, 1955, to decide whether to allow sports on a Sunday afternoon between 1:30pm and 6:00pm. <mask> was elected chairman of the Manitoba Sunday Sports Association which represented multiple local sporting organizations in favour games on Sundays. He argued that amateur sports were driven by gate receipts and felt that games on a Sunday "would be a God-send to local amateur sports". He felt that Sunday sports "would also counter juvenile delinquency [and] get the kids off the corners". The referendum was defeated by 147 votes after a recount and the issue referred back to the Winnipeg City Council for further discussion. <mask> hoped for another referendum and a longer campaign to convince more to vote in favour of Sunday sports.Canadian Amateur Hockey Association

Second vice-president
<mask> served two one-year terms as the second vice-president of the CAHA beginning in June 1950, and was chairman of both the Allan Cup and Memorial Cup playoffs for Western Canada during 1951 and 1952. He was a member of the CAHA's committee to negotiate relations with the NHL, and helped reach an agreement to set a January deadline for the NHL to call up players from the Major Series of senior hockey and avoid a shortage of players during the Alexander Cup playoffs. He also voiced opposition to raising the age limit in junior hockey to 21 years old, since he did not want to give professional teams more control over

 junior-aged players without signing them to a contract. First vice-president

<mask> was elected first vice-president of the CAHA in June 1952, and served three one-year terms in the position. As chairman of the junior and senior playoffs in 1953, <mask> was faced with multiple branches of the CAHA not participating. He wanted to include as many teams as possible since the CAHA and all of its branches were primarily funded by gate receipts from the playoffs and could not afford the loss of income. The CAHA had suspended the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association for the season due to registration violations, and the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association chose to withdraw from senior hockey.<mask> went to extraordinary efforts to retain the Saskatchewan Amateur Hockey Association teams, which included rescheduling multiple series due to delays in the Saskatchewan playoffs and demands to play against the MAHA champion rather than the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association champion. The CAHA wanted to renegotiate its professional-amateur agreement with the NHL to have more say into the operation of amateur hockey and to regulate the signing of junior-aged players to contracts. <mask> sat on the negotiation committee and did not envision junior hockey in Canada being operated on a professional basis. The NHL wanted a better financial arrangement for the junior teams it sponsored, usage of the same rules of play in professional and amateur hockey, and to remove restrictions on the transfer of junior players between teams. The CAHA had placed a moratorium on transferring players to Eastern Canada as supported by <mask>, to prevent the loss of talent in Western Canada and to counteract Eastern Canadian

In January 1954, a new financial agreement gave the junior teams sponsored by the NHL a greater proportionate share of playoffs profits, but <mask> and the CAHA continued to resist the movement of players to Eastern Canada and sought further discussion. In 1952 and 1953, <mask> and the CAHA debated the financial merits of international tours by Canadian hockey teams and whether or not the tours created goodwill towards Canada.The CAHA chose not to participate at the 1953 World Championships since it struggled to finance the Canada men's national ice hockey team and because of persistent criticism by Europeans on the physical playing style of Canada. The CAHA settled on sending the senior B-level East York Lyndhursts as Canada's representative at the 1954 World Championships when it had become too expensive to fund a higher level team for an international tour. The Lyndhursts lost by a 7–2 score to the Soviet Union men's national ice hockey team and placed second at the World Championships, which led to public dissatisfaction and widespread media criticism of the CAHA in Canada. The CAHA chose <mask> as its representative to accompany the Kenora Thistles on an international goodwill exhibition tour of Japan in March 1954. Journalist Ted Bowles of the Winnipeg Free Press wrote that <mask>'s selection to represent the CAHA "could be classed as a reward for his labours in the cause of sport for many years, especially the sport of hockey". On the seven-week tour, <mask> handled the business affairs for the Kenora Thistles and travelled with the team aboard the Japanese ocean liner Hikawa Maru from Vancouver. <mask> had been expected to become CAHA

In August 1954, <mask> attended a meeting with junior hockey representatives from the five CAHA branches in Western Canada in addition to the Western Canada Junior Hockey League and the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). Western Canada sought permission for any of its league champions to add three players during the inter-provincial playoffs for the Memorial Cup. They contended that the imbalance in competition compared to Eastern Canada teams had caused lack of spectator interest and less prestige for the event, and suggested that the Abbott Cup champion to have an additional three players added for the Memorial Cup final. The CAHA decided to allow the Abbott Cup champion to add three players from its own branch as of the 1955 Memorial Cup. At the semi-annual meeting in January 1955, the CAHA discussed cost-cutting measures when its budget was reduced from $70,000 to $55,000. <mask> extended another invitation to the Japan Ice Hockey Federation to send a team on an exhibition tour of Canada after a planned tour in 1955 failed due to lack of funding.The CAHA felt it had to send the most competitive team possible to the 1955 World Championships, and spared no expense in selecting the Penticton Vees since regaining the World

First term
The CAHA elected <mask> as president to succeed W. B. George on May 27, 1955. <mask> became the first Manitoban elected to the position since E. A. Gilroy in 1936, and assumed control of the CAHA at a time when it had lost the confidence of Canadians to produce a winning national team. The CAHA looked for private sponsorships to fund the national team, considered garnishing a greater portion of gate receipts for amateur games in Canada, and resolved to pay for the national team ice hockey at the 1956 Winter Olympics only as necessary. The Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen were chosen to represent Canada, and <mask> travelled with the team on their two-week European exhibition tour through Scotland and England on route to the Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. During the Olympics, <mask> stated that the standard of officiating in Europe needed to improve and that it had been an ongoing issue anytime when Canada played.After a victory versus the Italy men's national ice hockey team where Canada was assessed 11 of the 15 penalties called, he protested against the future use of German referee Hans Unger and described the game as "one of the worst exhibitions of refereeing I have ever had the misfortune of seeing". Despite that Canada won the bronze medal with a third-place finish, <mask> praised the team and said "I am proud to say that although we were not successful in winning the Olympic title, the players and team executives were wonderful

 ambassadors for Canada at all times". <mask> felt that Canada lost due to the Soviet Union's superior physical conditioning, skating abilities and textbook defending. He noted that the national teams from the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia were operated by the state with the players individually selected. He recommended that Canada send a national all-star team to future international hockey events as did all other nations at the Olympics. He suggested that the reigning Allan Cup champion could be used as the nucleus to add the best players from across Canada, and that simply sending an intact senior hockey team was no longer good enough to win. He sought for the team to be a truly national effort supported by all since the CAHA could not finance the venture itself.The CAHA and <mask> sought to negotiate a greater portion of the gate receipts from games played in Europe by the Canadian team. He felt that trips to Europe were too costly and did not create any goodwill for Canada, and stated that there was a "strong possibility" of Canada not attending future World Championships and only playing at the Olympic Games. At a special meeting of the International Ice Hockey Federation, he said that Canada would only attend the 1957 World Championships in Moscow if all expenses were guaranteed for the return trip to and from the Soviet Union since Canada was a major drawing card at games in Europe. Second term
<mask> was re-elected president of the CAHA in May 1956. His recommendation for a national all-star team was approved, to be based on the nucleus of the 1956 Allan Cup champions Vernon Canadians for the 1957 World Championships. The CAHA sought financial backing from corporate sponsorships in

A committee was established to choose the best coaches, and CAHA teams all age groups from senior to junior were asked to nominate their best players for a one-month training camp prior to a North American exhibition tour.Despite the approval of the all-star team, the CAHA decided it would only send a team to the Olympics or World Championships if it did not have to pay all of the expenses due to budget constraints. The CAHA executive to met in November 1956 to discuss whether to continue with plans to raise the $75,000 required to send the Vernon Canadians to Moscow, or whether to send an intact senior team or no team at all. <mask> announced that the CAHA deemed the all-star team no longer feasible since it lacked organization and public support, and recommended that the Vernon Canadians and the Ottawa Junior Canadiens meet in a special series to decide Canada's representative. Later in November, <mask> and the CAHA abandoned plans to attend the 1957 World Championships when several Western Bloc countries agreed to boycott event in response to the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary. Prior to the 1957 Memorial Cup playoffs, the MJHL requested permission for its champion to be allowed three additional players if the team reached the Abbot Cup final. When the request was approved by a vote of CAHA branch presidents, the Flin Flon Bombers and the SJHL objected despite a ruling by <mask> that the decision was made according to the constitution. The Winnipeg Tribune reported that the decision had "started the old country-city mud-slinging campaign".Flin Flon Daily Miner editor Harry Miles wrote that, "<mask> in Winnipeg

When supporters of the Bombers hanged <mask> in effigy, he responded by saying "All I hope is that the effigy looked like me. I'd hate to think they had hanged somebody else by mistake". At the 1957 general meeting, <mask> felt that relations with the NHL were the most important item on the agenda since the bodies had operated for two seasons without a written agreement. Discussions were held behind closed doors without a resolution finalized. The CAHA attempted to correct the imbalance in Memorial Cup competition and approved additional players for the weaker provincial champions during the national playoffs. <mask> continued to make plans for a Japanese team to visit Canada and named a CAHA committee to explore how to finance a proposed exhibition tour.Past-president
<mask> was succeeded by Robert Lebel as president. <mask> was placed in charge of the senior and junior playoffs for Western Canada in 1959. He oversaw arrangements for the Japan men's national ice hockey team tour of Canada in January 1960, which included entertainment and luncheons during a four-day stopover in Winnipeg. He later represented the CAHA serving as a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame inductee selection committee from June 1961 until June 1976. MJHL commissioner

The MJHL transitioned from a draft of players in the Greater Winnipeg Minor Hockey Association, into a system where each team chose players from a set geographic district.The new "zoning" arrangement was planned to be in effect for three seasons to stimulate more localized interest in junior hockey and aimed to keep teammates together from the minor hockey level to the junior hockey level. <mask> supported the change and noted that the concept had produced forward lines on previous Memorial Cup championship teams from Winnipeg. For the 1964–65 MJHL season, the Charlie Gardiner Memorial Trophy series was revived as a preseason tournament for the league's teams. <mask> reached an agreement to televise MJHL games on CJAY-TV, and the league experimented with playing games on Sunday evenings instead of afternoons to increase its attendance and avoid competing with televised football games. <mask> requested to the CAHA that the MJHL waive its bye into the Abbott Cup finals and its playoffs champion meet the Thunder Bay Junior A Hockey League champion in the first round. He felt that the loss of gate receipts from a bye was a financial hardship for the MJHL, and shorten the league's playoffs to accommodate the change approved by the CAHA. For the 1965–66 MJHL season, <mask> implemented an automatic one-game minimum suspension for any player who received a match penalty.He felt that professional hockey influenced fisticuffs in junior hockey and said that, "Any time there's a big fight in the National Hockey League, the kids drop their sticks and put up their dukes in the next game. It happens almost every time". The MJHL expanded from four to six teams for the 1966–67 MJHL season when it

Despite being offered a pay raise, he felt that the increase in teams made the job too much for him and had "taken the fun out of it". His resignation came shortly after a game between the Winnipeg Rangers and the Brandon Wheat Kings in which 242 penalty minutes were given in the first period. Later hockey career
<mask> was the commissioner of both the 1967 Canadian Centennial tournament hosted in Winnipeg, and the Manitoba Senior Hockey League for the 1967–68 season.From 1968 to 1972, he was one of four citizen members who sat on the board of directors of the Winnipeg Enterprises Corporation which oversaw the operation and management of sports stadiums in Winnipeg. For the 1970–71 season, he was appointed by the MJHL to a committee for handling appeals to regulations and constitutional matters. When the 1970 World Championships were scheduled to be hosted in Winnipeg, <mask> sat on the ticket sales committee and travelled to the 1969 World Championships in Stockholm as part of a sales campaign. He later stated that the biggest disappointment of his hockey career was Winnipeg's loss of hosting the World Championships when the Canadian national team withdrew from international play in 1970. In 1967, the Manitoba Old Timers' Association named <mask> to a committee to establish a benevolent association for Manitoba's hockey players and a hall of fame for hockey in Manitoba; and to provide more places to play hockey, and social, educational and coaching benefits.

He managed the team for two seasons which saw regular attendance between 4,000 to 5,000 spectators per game at Wesley Park. The Uneeda Club reached the league's championship finals in 1929, and played in an international tournament in Minneapolis. In an interview in 1954, <mask> stated that he probably gave up the longest home run hit while pitching at Wesley Park. <mask> was elected to the executive of the Manitoba Diamond Ball Association in 1934.The Greater Winnipeg Senior Baseball League elected him its second vice-president in 1936, and then its vice-president in 1941.

<mask> was elected the first president the newly established Manitoba Senior Baseball League in May 1948, which returned an independent baseball league to Manitoba since the Winnipeg Maroons of the Northern League folded in 1942.The new league included three teams in Winnipeg and one in Brandon, Manitoba, but plans for a team based in Grand Forks, North Dakota were not realized. <mask> was re-elected president in 1949, and continued negotiations for a team in Grand Forks in addition to the four returning teams. When negotiations failed, an entry from Carman, Manitoba, was admitted as the fifth team in the league. In January 1950, the Manitoba Senior Baseball League added a team from Minot, North Dakota, and was reorganized into the Mandak League with <mask> elected as president for the season. The league drafted a new constitution, decided that its teams would wear a patch including both the flags of Canada and the United States, and planned a parade with a marching band through downtown Winnipeg on its opening day. <mask> described the opening day plans by saying that, "the Mandak baseball league this year will be more colourful than a Scotman's kilt". Opening day was postponed due to the 1950 Red River flood inundating Osborne Stadium, and the schedule was changed for the

In July 1950, <mask> stated that the Mandak League planned to speak with Major League Baseball commissioner Happy Chandler about joining the professional baseball structure for the following season. The Winnipeg Free Press expressed concerns that the Korean War could negatively affect the league, but also that the popularity of the Mandak League had led to decreased attendance for women's softball in Manitoba. After the season, team executives lauded <mask> for his leadership of the league despite that only one of the five teams made a profit. He was unanimously re-elected as president and the league assumed the control of scheduling umpires instead of the home teams doing so. The league's schedule was increased from 48 to 64 games with the hope that more games would make the season profitable.<mask> resigned as Mandak League president at the conclusion of the 1951 season. Softball career

He oversaw girls' fastpitch softball games at Osborne Stadium, and operated the league with four or five teams playing each season.

title: Blackbeard

texts: Edward Teach (alternatively spelled Edward Thatch,  – 22 November 1718), better known as <mask>, was an English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of Britain's North American colonies. Little is known about his early life, but he may have been a sailor on privateer ships during Queen Anne's War before he settled on the Bahamian island of New Providence, a base for Captain Benjamin Hornigold, whose crew Teach joined around 1716. Hornigold placed him in command of a sloop that he had captured, and the two engaged in numerous acts of piracy. Their numbers were boosted by the addition to their fleet of two more ships, one of which was commanded by Stede Bonnet; but Hornigold retired from piracy toward the end of 1717, taking two vessels with him. Teach captured a French slave ship known as La Concorde, renamed her Queen Anne's Revenge, equipped her with 40 guns, and crewed her with over 300 men. He became a renowned pirate, his nickname derived from his thick black beard and fearsome appearance; he was reported to have tied lit fuses (slow matches) under his hat to frighten his enemies. He formed an alliance of pirates and blockaded the port of Charles Town, South Carolina, ransoming the port's inhabitants.He then ran Queen Anne's Revenge aground on a sandbar near Beaufort, North Carolina. He parted company with Bonnet and settled in Bath, North Carolina, also known as Bath Town, where he accepted a royal pardon. But he was soon back at sea, where he attracted the attention of Alexander Spotswood, the Governor of Virginia. Spotswood arranged for a party of soldiers and sailors to capture him; on 22 November


title: Blackbeard

texts:
 1718 following a ferocious battle Teach and several of his crew were killed by a small force of sailors led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard. Teach was a shrewd and calculating leader who spurned the use of violence, relying instead on his fearsome image to elicit the response that he desired from those whom he robbed. He was romanticized after his death and became the inspiration for an archetypal pirate in works of fiction across many genres. Early life
Little is known about Blackbeard's early life.It is commonly believed that at the time of his death he was between 35 and 40 years old and thus born in about 1680. In contemporary records his name is most often given as <mask>, Edward Thatch or Edward Teach; the latter is most often used. Several spellings of his surname exist—Thatch, Thach, Thache, Thack, Tack, Thatche and Theach. One early source claims that his surname was Drummond, but the lack of any supporting documentation makes this unlikely. Pirates habitually used fictitious surnames while engaged in piracy, so as not to tarnish the family name, and this makes it unlikely that Teach's real name will ever be known. The 17th-century rise of Britain's American colonies and the rapid 18th-century expansion of the Atlantic slave trade had made Bristol an important international sea port, and Teach was most likely raised in what was then the second-largest city in England. He could almost certainly read and write; he communicated with merchants and when killed had in his possession a letter addressed to him by the Chief Justice and Secretary of the Province of Carolina, Tobias Knight.The author Robert Lee speculated that Teach may

texts: The only pirate ever known to bury treasure was William Kidd; the only treasure so far recovered from Teach's exploits is that taken from the wreckage of what is presumed to be the Queen Anne's Revenge, which was found in 1996. As of 2009 more than 250,000 artefacts had been recovered.A selection is on public display at the North Carolina Maritime Museum. Various superstitious tales exist of Teach's ghost. Unexplained lights at sea are often referred to as "Teach's light", and some recitals claim that the notorious pirate now roams the afterlife searching for his head, for fear that his friends, and the Devil, will not recognise him. A North Carolinian tale holds that Teach's skull was used as the basis for a silver drinking chalice; a local judge even claimed to have drunk from it one night in the 1930s. The name of Blackbeard has been attached to many local attractions, such as Charleston's Blackbeard's Cove. His name and persona have also featured heavily in literature. He is the main subject of Matilda Douglas's fictional 1835 work Blackbeard: A page from the colonial history of Philadelphia.Film renditions of his life include <mask> the Pirate (1952), Blackbeard's Ghost (1968), Blackbeard: Terror at Sea (2005) and the 2006 Hallmark Channel miniseries Blackbeard. Parallels have also been drawn between Johnson's Blackbeard and the character of Captain Jack Sparrow in the 2003 adventure film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. <mask> is also portrayed as a central character in two recent TV series. In the short-lived Crossbones (2014), he is played by John Malkovich. The British actor Ray Stevenson plays him in

title: Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh

texts: <mask>, 2nd Marquess of Londonderry,  (18 June 1769 – 12 August 1822), usually known as Lord Castlereagh, derived from the courtesy title Viscount Castlereagh ( ) by which he was styled from 1796 to 1821, was an Anglo-Irish politician and statesman. As secretary to the Viceroy of Ireland, he worked to suppress the Rebellion of 1798 and to secure passage in 1800 of the Irish Act of Union. As the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom from 1812, he was central to the management of the coalition that defeated Napoleon, and was British plenipotentiary at the Congress of Vienna. In the post-war government of Lord Liverpool, Castlereagh was seen to support harsh measures against agitation for reform. Taking his own life, he died in office in 1822. Early in his career in Ireland, and following a visit to revolutionary France, Castlereagh recoiled from the democratic politics of his Presbyterian constituents in Ulster. Crossing the floor of the Irish Commons in support of the government, he took a leading role in detaining members of the republican conspiracy, the United Irishmen, his former political associates among them.After the 1798 Rebellion, as Chief Secretary for Ireland he pushed the Act of Union through the Irish Parliament. But it was without the Catholic Emancipation that both he and British Prime Minister William Pitt believed should have accompanied the creation of a United Kingdom. From 1804 Castlereagh served under Pitt and then the Duke of Portland as Secretary of State for War. In 1809 he was obliged to resign after fighting a duel with the Foreign Secretary, George Canning, in a dispute over the Walcheren Expedition. In 1812


title: Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh

texts:
 Castlereagh returned to government serving Lord Liverpool as Foreign Secretary and as Leader of the House of Commons. Castlereagh organised and financed the alliance that defeated Napoleon, bringing the powers together at the Treaty of Chaumont in 1814. After Napoleon's second abdication in 1815, Castlereagh worked with the European courts represented at the Congress of Vienna to frame the territorial, and broadly conservative, continental order that was to hold until mid century.He blocked harsh terms against France believing that a treaty based on vengeance and retaliation would upset a necessary balance of powers. France was restored to the frontiers of 1791, and her British-occupied colonies were returned. In 1820 Castlereagh enunciated a policy of non-intervention, proposing that Britain hold herself aloof from continental affairs. After 1815, at home Castlereagh supported repressive measures that linked him in public opinion to the Peterloo Massacre of 1819. Widely reviled in both Ireland and Great Britain, overworked, and personally distressed, Castlereagh committed suicide in 1822. His biographer John Bew writes:
No British statesman of the 19th century reached the same level of international influence....But very few have been so maligned by their own countrymen and so abused in history. This shy and handsome Ulsterman is perhaps the most hated domestic political figure in both modern British and Irish political history.Early life and career in Ireland

 Seymour-Conway. His parents married in 1766. The Stewarts
The Stewarts had been a Scottish family settled in Donegal whose fortunes had been transformed by the marriage of Castlereagh's grandfather Alexander Stewart to an East India Company heiress. The legacy from <mask>, the former Governor of Bombay, allowed for the purchase of extensive properties in north Down including the future family demesne, Mount Stewart, on the shores of Strangford Lough. As a Presbyterian (a "Dissenter"), rather than a member of the established Anglican Communion (the Church of Ireland), Castlereagh's father, <mask>, had an easy reputation as a friend of reform. In 1771, and again in 1776, he was elected from County Down to the Irish House of Commons.In 1778 he joined the Irish Volunteer movement, raising and armed and drilled company from his estates. In parliament and among the Volunteers, he was a friend and supporter of Lord Charlemont and his policy. This favoured Volunteer agitation for the independence of Ireland's Acendancy parliament, but not for its reform and not for Catholic emancipation. In 1798, the elder <mask> was created Baron Londonderry in 1789, Viscount Castlereagh in 1795, and Earl of Londonderry in 1796 by King George III, enabling him from the Act of Union of 1800 onwards to sit at Westminster in the House of Lords as an Irish representative peer. In 1816 he was elevated to Marquess of Londonderry

 France (1764–65) and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1765–66).Isabella Fitzroy was a daughter of Charles FitzRoy, 2nd Duke of Grafton. Five years later his father married Lady Frances Pratt, the independent-minded daughter of Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden (1714–94), a leading English jurist and prominent political supporter of both William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, and his son, William Pitt the Younger. The marriages of the elder <mask> linked his family with the upper ranks of English nobility and political elites. The Camden connection was to be especially important for the political careers of the older and the younger <mask>. By Frances Pratt, his father's second wife, young <mask> had eleven half-siblings, including his half-brother Charles William Stewart (later Vane), Baron Stewart of Stewart's Court and Ballylawn in County Donegal (1814) and 3rd Marquess of Londonderry (1822). Education
The younger <mask> suffered from recurring health problems throughout his childhood, and was sent to The Royal School, Armagh, rather than to England for his secondary education. At the encouragement of Charles Pratt, first Earl of Camden, who took a great interest in him and treated him as if he had been a grandson by blood, he later attended St. John's College, Cambridge (1786–87), where he applied himself with greater diligence than expected from an aristocrat and excelled in his first-year examinations.But he then withdrew, pleading an illness that he admitted to Camden was something "which cannot be directly acknowledged before women", i.e. something sexually transmitted.

 the King's Signet for Ireland. Following a declaration of martial law he was made both a Lord of the Treasury and a Member of the Privy Council of Ireland (1797–1800). At the urging of Camden, Castlereagh assumed many of the onerous duties of the often-absent Chief Secretary for Ireland who was responsible for day-to-day administration and asserting the influence of Dublin Castle in the House of Commons. In this capacity, and after March 1798 as Acting Chief Secretary, Castlereagh played a key role in crushing the United Irish rising when it came in May and June 1798. In November 1798, Castlereagh was formally appointed to the office of Chief Secretary by Camden's successor, Lord Cornwallis.Executions of William Orr and James Porter
<mask>'s general policy was to offer immediate clemency to the rebel rank-and-file (many of whom were then inducted into the yeomanry) while focusing on the politically committed leadership. But already before the rebellion he had begun to earn the sobriquet "Bloody Castlereagh". In October 1797 his step mother, Lady Frances, had petitioned Camden for the life of William Orr. On a charge of administering the United Irish test to two soldiers, Orr had been named on the same warrant that Castlereagh had used in the roundup of the previous September. The judge reportedly broke down in tears as he read the death sentence which the popular journalist Peter Finnerty credited to Castlereagh's insistence on making an example in the face of the growing French fever. (In 1811, Castlereagh successfully had Finnerty convicted for libel). After the rebellion (during which Mount Stewart was briefly occupied),  Castlrereagh

 Castlereagh to defy what he saw as "the very logic of the Union."The Union bill that, with a generous distribution of titles and favours, he helped put through the Irish Parliament omitted the provision for Catholic emancipation. A separate Irish executive in Dublin was retained, but representation, still wholly Protestant, was transferred to Westminster constituted as the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Pitt had tried to follow through on his commitment, but when it came to light that the King had approached Henry Addington, an opponent of Catholic emancipation, about becoming Prime Minister to replace him, both Castlereagh and Pitt resigned. Castlereagh would long be held personally responsible by many Catholics in Ireland for the breach of promise and the British Government's failure to remove their remaining political disabilities. Loss of his home constituency

While in Dublin, Castlereagh had been a member of the Kildare Street Club, which was at the heart of the Anglo-Irish Ascendancy. The Ascendancy, however, was not quick to forgive Castlereagh for the loss of their parliament. In 1805 the Dowager Marchioness of Downshire, broke her family's electoral truce with the Stewarts in County Down and forced Castlereagh to defend his (now Westminster) parliamentary seat.Despite the prestige of a new cabinet position in London, <mask> was defeated in a campaign marked by repeated aspersions on his failure to father a child, and by the taunts of those who, otherwise no friends of the Downshires, reminded him of the principles on which he had stood in 1790. On his return to London, the Treasury found him an

Having conciliated the Downshires and able to ride the victories of Arthur Wellesley (future Duke of Wellington), the reputed Ulsterman he had appointed to command in the Peninsular War, in 1812 Castlereagh avenged his humiliation, and recovered the family seat. Secretary for War
In the new Parliament of the United Kingdom the tensions within the ruling Tories over Catholic emancipation abated, and after obtaining his desired cessation of hostilities with France (the Peace of Amiens), Henry Addington brought <mask> into the Cabinet as President of the Board of Control. He chief task was to mediate the bitter disputes between the Governor-General of India, Richard Wellesley (the brother of Arthur Wellesley) and the Directors of the East India Company, smoothing quarrels while generally supporting Lord Wellesley's policies. After the renewal of the war against Napoleon, at the urging of Castlereagh and other long-time supporters, in 1804 Pitt returned as Prime Minister, and <mask> was promoted to Secretary of State for War and the Colonies. As the only other member of Pitt's cabinet in the House of Commons, Castlereagh became Pitt's political deputy, taking on ever more burdens as Pitt's health continued to decline.After Pitt's death in 1806, Castlereagh resigned amid the chaos of the Ministry of All the Talents. When that Government collapsed, Castlereagh again became Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in 1807, this time in the ministry of the Duke of Portland.

 negotiating what has become known as the quadruple alliance between Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia at Chaumont in March 1814, in the negotiation of the Treaty of Paris that brought peace with France, and at the Congress of Vienna. The Treaty of Chaumont was part of the final deal offered to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814. Napoleon rejected it and it never took effect. However, the key terms reaffirmed decisions that had been made already. These decisions were again ratified and put into effect by the Congress of Vienna of 1814–1815. The terms were largely written by Lord <mask>, who offered cash subsidies to keep the other armies in the field against Napoleon. Key terms included the establishment of a confederated Germany, the division of Italy into independent states, the restoration of the Bourbon kings of Spain, and the enlargement of the Netherlands to include what in 1830 would become modern Belgium.The treaty of Chaumont became the cornerstone of the European Alliance which formed the balance of power for decades. Historian G. M. Trevelyan argues:
In 1813 and 1814 Castlereagh played the part that William III and Marlborough had played more than a hundred years before, in holding together an alliance of jealous, selfish, weak-kneed states and princes, by a vigour of character and singleness of purpose that held Metternich, the Czar, and the King of Prussia on the common track until the goal was reached. It is quite possible that, but for the lead taken by Castlereagh in the allied counsels, France would never have been reduced to her ancient limits, nor Napoleon dethroned. Congress of Vienna

 disappointment and chagrin may have on a mind in which religion is not uppermost, for I have no doubt that the sad and apparently irretrievable state of affairs in England was the real cause of ... [his] unfortunate state of mind."Later verdicts attribute the problem to overwork and mental stress, or to "a psychotic depressive illness". Other theories link various instances of (at the time) little explained illness to syphilis, possibly contracted at Cambridge. Reaction to his death
An inquest concluded that the act had been committed while insane, avoiding the harsh strictures of a felo de se verdict. The verdict allowed Lady Londonderry to see her husband buried with honour in Westminster Abbey near his mentor, William Pitt. The pallbearers included the Prime Minister Lord Liverpool, the former Prime Minister Lord Sidmouth and two future Prime Ministers, the Duke of Wellington and Frederick Robinson. Some radicals, notably William Cobbett, claimed a "cover-up" within the government and viewed the verdict and Castlereagh's public funeral as a damning indictment of the elitism and privilege of the unreformed electoral system. At his funeral on 20 August, the crowds which lined the funeral route were generally respectful and decorous, but some jeering and insults were heard (although not to the level of unanimity projected in the radical press); and there was cheering when the coffin was taken out of the hearse at the Abbey door.A funeral monument was not erected until 1850 when his half-brother and successor, Charles Stewart Vane, 3rd Marquess of Londonderry did so. Some time after <mask>'s death, Lord Byron wrote a savage quip about his

A nobler grave than this:
Here lie the bones of Castlereagh:
Stop, traveller, and piss. Some of his opponents were damning in their verdicts. Thomas Creevy defied "any human being to discover a single feature of his character that can stand a moment’s criticism. By experience, good manners and great courage, he managed a corrupt House of Commons pretty well, with some address. This is the whole of his intellectual merit. He had a limited understanding and no knowledge, and his whole life was spent in an avowed, cold-blooded contempt of every honest public principle."Sir <mask> believed that there had never been "a greater enemy to civil liberty or a baser slave." Others of Castlereagh's political opponents were more gracious in their epigrams. Henry Brougham, a Whig politician and later the Lord Chancellor, who had battled frequently with Castlereagh, once almost to the point of calling him out, and had denigrated his skills as Leader, wrote in the week following <mask>'s death:

Put all their other men together in one scale, and poor Castlereagh in the other – single he plainly weighed them down ... One can't help feeling a little for him, after being pitted against him for several years, pretty regularly. It is like losing a connection suddenly. Also he was a gentleman, and the only one amongst them. Modern historians stress the success of Castlereagh's career in spite of the hatred and ignominy he suffered. Trevelyan contrasts his positive achievements and his pitiful failures.His diplomacy was applauded by historians. For example, in 1919 diplomatic historians recommended his wise policies of

<mask> (born  <mask>; July 24, 1934 – May 19, 2014) was an American criminal who was convicted of two murders, as well as robbery, forgery, violation of anti-slavery laws, and numerous other crimes. Many of these crimes were committed with the assistance of her son, <mask>. They were tried and convicted together for the murder of Irene Silverman, along with 117 other charges. Kenny made a plea deal in the murder of David Kazdin, pleading guilty and agreeing to testify against his mother in her trial for Kazdin's murder in return for her not facing a death sentence. <mask> was subsequently convicted of that murder. The pair were also suspected but never charged in a third murder in the Bahamas, to which <mask> confessed. Early life
According to court records, <mask> was born <mask> in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, one of four children of Mary Van Horn, a native of Illinois and of partial Dutch descent, and Prama Mahendra Singhrs (1889–1940), who was East Indian and came to the United States through Canada.<mask> <mask> gave numerous conflicting stories about her origins and numerous other accounts are difficult to confirm. Her son, Kent Walker, has said that her birth certificate might be forged. Walker, in his book Son of a Grifter, has reported a claim by an old acquaintance of his mother that Kimes was the daughter of a respectable family who was unable to cope with her aberrant, wild antics. Kimes herself has claimed that her father was a laborer and that her mother was a prostitute who migrated to Los Angeles during the Dust Bowl, where the young Kimes ran wild in the streets. Kimes attended high school in Carson City, Nevada, and graduated in 1952. She soon married a high school boyfriend, but the marriage lasted only three months. In 1956, Kimes reunited with another sweetheart from high school, Edward Walker.They married in 1957 and had one son, Kent. After a shoplifting conviction in 1961, <mask> separated and reconciled intermittently with Walker but their divorce was not finalized until 1969. In

 1971, she met motel tycoon <mask>. They married in Clark County, Nevada on April 5, 1981. They had one son, Kenneth Karam <mask> (born 1975). Criminal behavior
Sante <mask> spent the better part of her life fleecing people of money, expensive merchandise, and real estate, either through elaborate con games, arson, forgery, or outright theft. According to Kent Walker, she committed insurance fraud on numerous occasions, frequently by committing arson and then collecting money for property damage.Kimes delighted in introducing her husband Kenneth as an ambassador, a ploy that even gained the couple access to a White House reception during the Ford administration, and would sometimes even impersonate Elizabeth Taylor, whom she resembled slightly. Walker also alleges that Kimes committed many acts of fraud that were not even financially necessary, such as enslaving maids when she could easily afford to pay them. Kimes frequently offered young, homeless illegal immigrants housing and employment, then kept them as virtual prisoners by threatening to report them to the authorities if they didn't follow her orders. As a result, she and Kenneth spent years squandering his fortune on lawyers' fees, defending themselves against charges of slavery. <mask> was eventually arrested in August 1985 and was sentenced by the U.S. District Court to five years in prison for violating federal anti-slavery laws and was successfully sued by Honolulu civil attorney David Schutter in civil court. Kenneth took a plea bargain and agreed to complete an alcohol treatment program. He and their son Kenny lived a somewhat normal life until <mask> was released from prison in 1989.Kenneth died in 1994. <mask> and Kenny were suspects in the 1995 abduction of 62 year-old Levitz Furniture heiress Jacqueline Levitz from her home in Vicksburg, Mississippi until a July 1998 announcement by the FBI that its investigations had concluded that, "There is nothing that would indicate that [they] had anything to do with Ms. Levitz."

 Kazdin
David Kazdin had allowed <mask> to use his name on the deed of a home in Las Vegas that was actually occupied by Kimes and her husband Kenneth in the 1970s. Several years later, Kimes convinced a notary to forge Kazdin's signature on an application for a loan of $280,000, with the house as collateral. When Kazdin discovered the forgery through a letter sent from his commercial bank and threatened to expose Kimes, she ordered him killed. On March 9, 1998, Kenny murdered Kazdin in his Los Angeles home by shooting him in the back of the head.According to another accomplice's later testimony, all three participated in disposing of the evidence. Kazdin's body was found in a dumpster near Los Angeles airport in March 1998. The murder weapon was never recovered, having been disassembled and dropped into a storm sewer. Irene Silverman
In June 1998, <mask> and Kenny perpetrated a scheme whereby she would assume the identity of their landlady, 82-year-old socialite Irene Silverman, and then appropriate ownership of her $7.7 million Manhattan mansion. The pair began renting a room in Silverman's mansion in June 1998 before she was reported missing on July 5. The search for Silverman went as far as Mount Olive, New Jersey. Despite the fact that Silverman's body was never found, both mother and son were convicted of murder in 2000, in no small part because of the discovery of <mask>' notebooks detailing the crime and notes written by Silverman, who was extremely suspicious of the pair.Among other things the two suspects kept casually asking Silverman for her ID and Social Security number, looked away from security cameras in the building lobby as they walked past, and repeatedly refused to let housekeepers into their rented room for cleaning. During the trial for the Kazdin murder, Kenny confessed that after his mother had used a stun gun on Silverman, he strangled her, stuffed her corpse into a bag and deposited it in a dumpster in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The investigation into the <mask>s began officially on March 14, 1998, when Kazdin's remains were found in a dumpster near LAX. The FBI and LAPD detectives assigned to the investigation focused on the mortgage loan application with the forged signature that falsely linked Kazdin to a house in Las Vegas which had been partly burned down in an attempted arson. The supposed homeowner turned out to be David McCarran, a homeless man who said <mask> and Kenny had lit the arson fire. He also claimed to have been forced to stay in the house by the <mask>s, who hoped to collect the insurance money from the loss of the house. Investigators also located Stan Patterson, a second man who confessed to selling a handgun to Kenny which he used to kill Kazdin. He was told of several potential felony charges stemming from the murder and mortgage fraud and reluctantly agreed to cooperate with the police in apprehending the pair to avoid prosecution. At the end of June 1998, Patterson got a call from <mask> about an expensive townhouse in New York's Upper West Side she wanted to sell for $7.7 million (the building owned by Silverman), and she needed his help with the paperwork.Patterson agreed to meet her in New York on July 5; he informed the FBI about the scheduled meeting before he left on July 3. Two days later, Patterson met <mask> at the New York Hilton around 6 p.m. that evening. Around 7 p.m., Kenny arrived at the Hilton and approached <mask>; upon his appearance FBI and NYPD officers quickly moved in to

 arrest both of them. The <mask>s had stolen a black Lincoln Town Car from a rental car dealership in Utah the previous May using a bounced check. When the police found the vehicle in the following day on July 6, they searched it and found what one officer called a "treasure chest" full of evidence: a stun gun case, forged Social Security cards, two hand guns, a pair of handcuffs, a folder full of various forms and applications related to Silverman's mansion, and a set of fifteen notebooks on which Sante had written detailed descriptions of mortgage fraud schemes involving many intended victims including both Silverman and Kazdin. Trials
Although the Kazdin murder occurred first, the <mask>s were tried in New York City first for the Silverman murder. Evidence recovered from their car helped establish the case for trying them for Kazdin's murder as well.The Silverman trial was unusual in many aspects, namely the rare combination of a mother/son team and the fact that no body was ever recovered. Nonetheless, the jury was unanimous in voting to convict them not only of murder but of 117 other charges including robbery, burglary, conspiracy, grand larceny, illegal weapons possession, forgery and eavesdropping on their first poll on the subject. The judge also took the unusual step of ordering <mask> not to speak to the media even after the jury had been sequestered, as a result of her passing a note to New York Times reporter David Rhode in court. The judge threatened to have Kimes handcuffed during further court appearances if she persisted and restricted her telephone access to calls to her lawyers. The judge contended that Kimes was attempting to influence the jury as they may have seen or heard any such interviews, and that there would be no cross-examination as there would be in court. Kimes had earlier chosen to not take the stand in her own defense after the judge ruled that prosecutors could question her about the previous conviction on slavery charges. During the sentencing portion of the

texts: Silverman trial, Kimes made a prolonged statement to the court blaming the authorities, including their own lawyers, for framing them.She went on to compare their trial to the Salem Witch Trials and claimed that the prosecutors were guilty of "murdering the Constitution" before the judge told her to be quiet. When the statement was concluded, the presiding judge responded that <mask> was a sociopath and a degenerate and her son was a dupe and a "remorseless predator" before imposing the maximum sentence on both of them. This amounted to 120 years for Sante and 124 years for her son Kenny, effectively sentencing both of them to life in prison. In October 2000, while doing an interview, Kenny held Court TV reporter Maria Zone hostage by pressing a ballpoint pen into her throat. Zone had interviewed <mask> at his prison once before without incident. Kenny's demand was that his mother not be extradited to California, where the two faced the death penalty for the murder of Kazdin. After four hours of negotiation, Kenny removed the pen from Zone's throat.Negotiators created a distraction which allowed them to quickly remove Zone and wrestle Kimes to the ground. In March 2001, Kenny was extradited to Los Angeles to stand trial for the murder of Kazdin. <mask> was extradited to Los Angeles in June 2001. During that trial in June 2004, while he was facing the death penalty, Kenny changed his plea from "not guilty" to "guilty" and implicated his mother in the murder in exchange for a plea deal that his mother should not receive the death penalty if convicted. Kenny then testified in trial against his mother, exposing every detail about their multiple crimes and describing how she indoctrinated him into becoming her accomplice. Kimes again made a prolonged statement denying the murders and accusing police and prosecutors of various kinds of misconduct, and she was again eventually ordered by the presiding judge to be silent.

<mask> (born 1941) is an American radical feminist activist and author of The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm, a 1970 classic feminist work on women's sexuality. She was connected to the group New York Radical Women and was a founding member of New York Radical Feminists. Early life and family
Koedt was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1941. Her parents, <mask> (born <mask>) and <mask> had been members of the Danish Resistance during World War II, harboring Jews in their basement until the refugees could be smuggled to Sweden. Her father was an architect and photographer who forged passports for leaders of the Danish Resistance. Born in Riverside, California, Bobs grew up outside of Copenhagen. Bobs was arrested and interrogated by the Germans and sent to Nazi headquarters, but survived unharmed.Due to her father's American citizenship, the Koedt family was able to easily immigrate to the United States and settled in San Francisco. Her father, suffering from depression and seizures, died by suicide shortly before his 80th birthday. Her mother lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for over 60 years. While having been raised Protestant, Inger was active with the Jackson Hole Jewish Community. In September 2011, Koedt married Ellen Levine, her partner for 40 years. In May 2012, Levine died. Inger died on 14 August 2021 at the age of 106.She was among the oldest residents of Teton County. Organizing
Koedt was a founding member of the New York Radical Women, an early feminist group begun in fall, 1967 which pioneered women's liberation through activism, such as disrupting the 1968 Miss America pageant, writing and publishing feminist work, and connecting personal issues to political oppression in the form of small-group consciousness-raising. By late 1968, she also co-founded The Feminists, a strict  feminist separatist group begun by Ti-Grace Atkinson after she left the New York City chapter of the National Organization for Women; other prominent members included Sheila Michaels, Barbara Mehrhof, Pamela Kearon, and

 Sheila Cronan. In 1969, Koedt left the Feminists to form the New York Radical Feminists (NYRF) with Shulamith Firestone. NYRF (not to be confused, as it often is, with the larger and older New York Radical Women, which was still meeting and whose membership was fluid and often overlapped with the smaller groups] was organized into small cells or "brigades" named after notable feminists of the past; Koedt and Firestone led the Stanton-Anthony Brigade. By 1970, conflicting factions within NYRF had driven both Koedt and Firestone out of the group they had founded and Koedt withdrew from organized activism, later commenting "I was done with groups after that." Writings

"The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm"

In 1968, <mask> published her most influential work, "The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm" in a radical-feminist journal from New York Radical Women's members, titled Notes from the First Year.In the article, Koedt frankly challenged the dominant understandings of female sexual pleasure held by most medical and psychoanalytic experts of the time, who were almost exclusively male. In particular, the article took issue with the predominant Freudian account of female sexuality that discounted the clitoral orgasm as "juvenile" and viewed orgasm achieved through the vagina as the only "mature" form. Women who failed to achieve orgasm through penetrative, heterosexual intercourse were therefore labeled as dysfunctional or frigid by the professional community. In Koedt's view, this approach placed unfair blame on women for their lack of satisfaction during straight sex, inaccurately pathologized normal female sexual function, and caused many women to seek unnecessary psychoanalytic treatment for a nonexistent ailment rather than exploring techniques that would lead to a more pleasurable sexual experience. In support of her position, Koedt marshaled up-to-date research on the female anatomy and sexual response, including recent work by Alfred Kinsey and Masters and Johnson, to demonstrate that the clitoris, rather

<mask> CBE (19 September 1882 – 25 April 1970) was a British railway and mechanical engineer best known as the Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the Southern Railway between 1937 and the 1948 nationalisation, developing many well-known locomotives. Early life and Great Northern Railway
He was born in Invercargill, New Zealand, to <mask> and his wife Marian Pugh, both British immigrants. On the death of his father in 1889, his mother returned to Llanfyllin, Wales, where the family home had been, with Bulleid. In 1901, after a technical education at Accrington Grammar School, he joined the Great Northern Railway (GNR) at Doncaster at the age of 18, as an apprentice under H. A. Ivatt, the Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME). After a four-year apprenticeship, he became the assistant to the Locomotive Running Superintendent, and a year later, the Doncaster Works manager. In 1908, he left to work in Paris with the French division of Westinghouse Electric Corporation as a Test Engineer, and was soon promoted to Assistant Works Manager and Chief Draughtsman. Later that year, he married Marjorie Ivatt, Henry Ivatt's youngest daughter.A brief period working for the Board of Trade followed from 1910, arranging exhibitions in Brussels, Paris and Turin. He was able to travel widely in Europe, later including a trip with Nigel Gresley, William Stanier and Frederick Hawksworth, to Belgium, in 1934, to see a metre-gauge bogie locomotive. In December 1912, he rejoined the GNR as Personal Assistant to Nigel Gresley, the new CME. Gresley was only six years Bulleid's senior. The First World War intervened; Bulleid joined the British Army and was assigned to the rail transport arm, rising to the rank of Major. After the war, Bulleid returned to the GNR as the Manager of the Wagon and Carriage Works.

Field Marshal <mask>, 1st Baron <mask>,  (16 February 1778 – 17 April 1863) was a British Army officer and colonial governor. After taking part as a junior officer in the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland, Sir Ralph Abercromby's expedition to Egypt and then the War of the Third Coalition, he served as military secretary to Sir <mask> at the Battle of Corunna. He then commanded the 2nd Battalion of the 66th Regiment of Foot and, later, the 52nd Regiment of Foot at many of the battles of the Peninsular War. At the Battle of Waterloo, Colborne on his own initiative brought the 52nd Regiment of Foot forward, took up a flanking position in relation to the French Imperial Guard and then, after firing repeated volleys into their flank, charged at the Guard so driving them back in disorder. He went on to become commander-in-chief of all the armed forces in British North America, personally leading the offensive at the Battle of Saint-Eustache in Lower Canada and defeating the rebel force in December 1837. After that he was high commissioner of the Ionian Islands and then Commander-in-Chief, Ireland. Early career and the Peninsular War
Born in Lymington, Hampshire the only son of Samuel Colborne also from Lymington and Cordelia Anne Colborne (née Garstin), Colborne was educated at Christ's Hospital in London and at Winchester College.He was commissioned as an ensign in the 20th Regiment of Foot on 10 July 1794 securing all subsequent steps in his regimental promotion without purchase. Promoted to lieutenant on 4 September 1795 and to captain lieutenant on 11 August 1799, he saw action at the Battle of Alkmaar in October 1799, where he was wounded, during the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland.

He became military secretary to General Henry Fox in 1806 and then became military secretary to Sir <mask> with the rank of major on 21 January 1808. In this capacity he accompanied Moore to Sweden in May 1808 and to Portugal in 1808 and served with him at the Battle of Benavente in December 1808 and Battle of Corunna in January 1809. It was Moore's dying request that Colborne should be given a lieutenant colonelcy and this was complied with on 2 February 1809.He transferred to the 66th Regiment of Foot on 2 November 1809, and after returning to Spain with Sir Arthur Wellesley's Army, he witnessed the defeat of the Spaniards at the Battle of Ocaña later that month. He commanded a brigade at the Battle of Bussaco in September 1810 and then commanded the 2nd Battalion of the 66th Regiment of Foot at the Battle of Albuera in May 1811 where his brigade was virtually annihilated by the Polish 1st Vistulan Lancers Regiment of the French Army. After transferring to the command of the 52nd Regiment of Foot he took part in the Siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in January 1812 where he was badly injured and had to be invalided back to England. After recovering in England, Colborne returned to Spain and commanded the 52nd Regiment of Foot at the Siege of San Sebastián in August 1813 before taking temporary charge of the 2nd brigade of the Light Division in late 1813 and commanding it at the Battle of the Bidassoa in October 1813, at the Battle of Nivelle in November 1813 and at the Battle of the Nive in December 1813.
