On April 16th 1117 Earl Magnus of Orkney, later St Magnus, is betayed and murdered by his cousin Håkon on the island of Egilsay in Orkney.

According to the sagas, Earl Magnus travelled to Egilsay in about 1116 to confront a rival earl, Hakon, about who should have control of Orkney. The meeting didn't go well: it ended in the murder of Magnus. Bishop William of Orkney recognised Magnus' sanctity 20 years later, in 1136, and made him a saint. St Magnus Church was likely built soon after that, on the spot where Magnus' murder is said to have taken place. The ruin today is, after St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, the finest surviving Norse church in Scotland, testimony to the wealth and authority of Orkney's Norse rulers. It stands remarkably complete in three parts: a chancel to the east, a central nave & the distinctive round tower to the west The tower was originally at least 4m taller than it is today, and comprised five floors. Its design has architectural parallels in north Germany and around the North Sea, demonstrating the far-flung contacts of the Orkney earldom. The church's chancel housed the altar. Above the altar was a room that probably served as a treasury and sacristy. The nave, where islanders and pilgrims stood or knelt during services, was covered by a high-pitched roof.

On this day; September 10th 1898, Empress Elisabeth of Austria was assassinated by Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni in Geneva Switzerland.

On September 10th at 1:35 pm the Empress and Countess Irma Sztaray, her lady in waiting leave the hotel. All the other staff in service of Elisabeth has already left Geneva by train, and stubborn as she is, Elisabeth refused to take bodyguards with her.

[Anarchist Luigi Lucheni] approached the ladies when they walk by and acts as if he stumbles and falls against Elisabeth, stabbing her with a sharpened needle file. Elisabeths falls down, but is helped up again by a coach driver and she and the countess continue to walk to the gangway and board the ship. Elisabeth even talks to the countess, saying that Luigi perhaps tried to steal her watch. She nor any of the bystanders, realize that she is stabbed. Luigi did not miss, his file punctured the body of the empress for 8.5 cm, broke the fourth rib, pierced the lung and penetrated the heart fully. The fact that Elisabeth could get up and walk on is first of all due to the good shape Elisabeth is in. 

Empress Elisabeth faints for the first time when on board of the ship. She comes to again, probably because the new blood flow that reaches her brain because of her horizontal position as she is now laying down. She asks the countess what has happened, still no [idea] of her situation. Only after opening of the corset by the countess, causing the blood reserve to spread over the rest of the body, the empress faints for the second and last time.

Countess Sztaray than sees the small blood stain on Sisi’s breast and raises the alarm. The captain of the boat, Captain Roux, is made aware of the identity of the fainted lady and immediatley turns the boat around towards the landing stage in front of the Hotel Beau-Rivage. A stretcher is improvised from sails and peddles and six boatmen carry the empress back to her hotel room.

To check if the Empress is still alive Dr. Mayer makes a small incision in Sissi's arm, but there is no blood flow, and the Empress is pronounced dead at 2:20, September 10th, 1898. The priest that arrived together with the doctors is too late to grant her absolution.

atque ita tribus et viginti plagis confossus est uno modo ad primum ictum gemitu sine voce edito, etsi tradiderunt quidam Marco Bruto irruenti dixisse: καὶ σὺ, τέκνον.*

- Suetonius Caesar 82

And in this way, [Caesar] was struck with 23 blows; at the first strike he gave a groan but uttered no cry. Certain men hold, however, that he said to the attacking Marcus Brutus: You too, child.*

According to the great chronicler of Rome, Suetonius,  Caesar’s last words were to Brutus, “You too, child?”. But they were in Greek not in Latin: καὶ σύ, τέκνον 

On the anniversary of the brutal assasination of Gaius Julius Caesar by Brutus and the other Roman senators, flowers have traditionally been left on the altar that marks the site of the funeral pyre in the Forum Romanum where Julius Caesar's body was cremated.

Russians continued the placement of flowers on the grave of Putin's nemesis, Alexei Nevalnei, despite mass arrests and police violence days ago at his funeral. Nevalnei had been the victim of two covert KGB Novachuk poisoning attempts for running an opposition news service and having the audacity to not only survive, but to also run for President of Russia against Putin. He was sentenced by the Russian court system to an isolated Siberian Penal Camp where, despite being interviewed last week in good health and high spirits, he died of what the Russian government OFFICIALLY claims was a simple heart attack.

Такер сказал, что лидерство

Основано на убийствах.

Я не из контекста выдернул,

Он этой мыслью раскрыл себя.

Психический бред или выдумка?

Отсутствиe здравого смысла?

Только фашистские лидеры

Не могут жить без убийства.

“Пошёл бы ты лучше по сути на…”

Жаль в зале никто не вмешался.

Прикрытие убийств Путина

Не ожидали от Карлсона.

Tucker declared that leadership

Сan not be restrained from the murders.

Allegedly murdering people

Is common for leader’s orders.

But only the fascist leaders

Kill opponents and no offense,

Mental delirium or posturing

May caused him to lose common sense.

“Wouldn’t you rather live in Russia?

Nobody in the hall intervened.

But his cover-up of Putin’s murders

Audience took bitterly.

After an academic discussion about the ramifications of trying to benefit from time travel, Peter Corrigan has suddenly found himself transported from 1961 back to April 14th, 1865. Corrigan desperately tries to prevent the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. While his efforts are in vain, thanks in part to the intervention of John Wilkes Booth, when Corrigan does return to the present he finds that he has altered the course of time after all.

On January 23rd 1570 James Stewart, the Regent Moray on the abdication of Mary Queen of Scots, was murdered in Linlithgow.

The assassination by James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh was the first known assassination with a firearm.

Scotland at the time, like much of Europe, was in the depths of a very divisive period, racked by deep religious and political divisions. While James Stewart was a popular Regent with many Scots Queen Mary’s supporters were seeking to undermine his rule, and following the Regent’s reprisals against one of the opposing clans, the Hamiltons, members of the Hamilton Clan decided to kill Moray.

James Hamiltonbegan to stalk theEarl of Moray in late 1569, following him from town to town awaiting an opportunity. Hamilton trailed the Regent across much of Northern England and the Borders and through Perth, Glasgow and Stirling, finally finding his perfect opportunity at Linlithgow on 23rd January 1570 he shot him from a balcony overlooking the street.

After a desperate ride, closely pursued by the Regent's men, Hamilton made it to the safety of his triumphant kin in Hamilton According to Moray's contemporary George Buchanan, the getaway horse was provided by Lord John Hamilton, Abbot of Arbroath. Buchanan wrote that the fatal shot also killed the horse of one of Moray's companions. Regent Moray dismounted, wounded below his navel, walked to his lodging and died the same day at Linlithgow Palace in the hour before midnight.

The incident was described in the contemporary diary of Robert Birrell, second mention of the week for the Edinburgh Burgess.

'The Earl of Moray, the Good Regent, was slain in Linlithgow by James Hamilton of Bothwell-haugh, who shot the said Regent with a gun out at ane window, and presently thereafter fled out at the back, and leapt on a very good horse, which the Hamiltons had ready waiting for him; and, being followed speedily, after that spur and wand had failed him, he drew forth his dagger, and struck his horse behind; whilk causit the horse to leap a very broad stank; by whilk means he escaped.'

The 17th-century historian David Calderwood described the shot as such:

"with a hacquebut, through a tirleis window (shuttered), from a stair whereupon were hunge sheets to drie, but in truthe, to hide the smooke, and make the place the lesse suspected'

Hamilton left the country and went to France where he offered his services to the Guise family, kinsmen of Mary. He was asked to assassinate Gaspard II de Coligny, however he refused, stating that a man of honour was entitled to settle his own quarrels, but not to murder for others.

Hamilton's uncle, the Archbishop of St. Andrews, was captured at Dumbarton and tried and convicted of "art and part" in the Regent's killing. He was hanged at Stirling in April 1571, I hope to pick up on this in a few months for a post about him.

At least two of Bothwellhaugh's letters home were intercepted and kept by the English Secretary of State William Cecil. One letter asked a servant of Mary Queen of Scots to send him financial aid because he had lost "all he had to live on for her Majesty's service." Another, written after the Archbishop's death tells younger brother David Hamilton that he is sending to him with their brother, John Provost of Bothwell, his long guns, pistols and a bulletproof breastplate.

The Hamilton family were declared rebels in October 1579 by the Parliament of Scotland following the capture of their strongholds at Hamilton and Draffen in May. On 21st October 1579 and 10th November, the parliament heard a narrative of the Regent's murder. James Hamilton was called "of Woodhouslee" and "of Woodhouslee alias Bothwellhaugh" in the record. He was said to have shot Regent Moray twice in the belly and navel on 23rd January 1570, with a gun loaded with two lead balls. By his flight to France he had taken responsibility for the treason and murder.

The parliamentary account was derived from the testimony of Arthur Hamilton of Myreton (or Merington), Captain of Hamilton, who was executed in Stirling for his part in the murder on 30th May 1579. James Hamilton's brother Arthur, who was said to have held James's stirrup at Linlithgow (for the getaway) was questioned at Stirling in May 1579, but several lords spoke for his life to be saved.

Four other Hamiltons were accused of directly participating in the Linlithgow murder at the assize at Stirling in May 1579, including, David Hamilton, son of Hamilton of Mirington, laird of Sillerton, they denied the charge but were imprisoned. The main perpetrator, James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh, was still in France: in the letters of the English ambassador Lord Cobham his title was spelled "Bodilaugh", perhaps an indication of how the name was said.

#OTD in 1927 – Kevin O’Higgins, the Free State Minister for Justice, is assassinated while on his way to Mass at the Church of the Assumption by three anti-Treaty members.

Kevin O’Higgins the Irish Minister for Justice is gunned down by Anti-Treaty activists on his way to Sunday Mass. O’Higgin’s own father had been gunned down by the IRA in 1923. Kevin O’Higgins had attracted the hatred of the anti-Treaty IRA for his actions in the name of the Free State, Ireland’s newly-formed nationalist government under the terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. Though he had once…
