The Battle of Man Garvia was fought on July 31st 1187 in Northern Scotland.

This was part of the Meic Uilleim Risings, a series of uprisings against the dominant rulers of the time, who are known in our history as The House of Dunkeld, I will delve a wee bit further and take us past the events that happened on this day in 1187.

As a nation the Scots were still finding our feet in the Medieval era, the The House of Dunkeld, in Scottish Gaelic Dùn Chailleann, were the dominant rulers, from 1034 to 1040 and from 1058 to 1286. The line is also variously referred to by historians as "The Canmores" and "MacMalcolm". However they were often fighting to hold on to their power.

On of the main rebellions against their reign was from The MacWilliams, or Meic Uilleims’, to give them their proper gaelic name. Their claim was rooted in the succession crisis precipitated by Malcolm III’s death in 1093. Although Malcolm’s eventual successors were three of his sons by his second wife, St Margaret – Kings Edgar, Alexander I (and David I – the throne had in the interim been occupied briefly by Duncan II (r.1094), Malcolm’s son by his first wife, Ingibiorg.

It was through an offspring of Duncan II that the claimants sprung up, Duncans son himself, William, seemed to have been content to leave the kingship to his half-uncles, his descendants – styling themselves the ‘Meic Uilleims’ – were not so passive.

These later Meic Uilleims were able to press their claims because William himself had, prior to the death in the 1150s, built up a power-base in northern Scotland, possibly taking possession of the important earldom of Moray. When King William I began tightening royal control over this region in the 1160s and 1170s, the Meic Uilleims were able to present themselves as both champions of Gaelic Scotland and guarantors of Moravian autonomy, and in this capacity they seem to have attracted considerable support from those who stood to lose out in the face of the king’s expanding power.

Meic Uilleim-led resistance may already have been gathering pace by the later 1170s, but it was in 1181 that Donald Meic Uilleim, taking advantage of the king’s temporary absence in France, launched a full-scale rising. He seems to have taken almost complete control of both Moray and Ross, and by 1186 government control in the north was so tenuous that the Meic Uilleims were able to launch a raid as far south as Coupar Angus. It took a huge royal effort, culminating in a battle at the unidentified site of ‘Mam Garvia’ in 1187, during which Donald himself was killed, to put down the rebellion.

We hadn't heard the last of the Meic Uilleims , however. Donald’s sons, who had fled into exile following their father’s defeat, returned to Scotland in 1211 to renew the challenge. Several royal campaigns succeeded in capturing one son, Guthred, who was quickly executed, but the other, Donald Bàn, remained at large, and led a renewed push against the young Alexander II. again raising much of Ross and Moray. This time, it was the action of a rival regional magnate, Fercher mac an t-Sagairt, that undid the Meic Uilleims, and following his defeat of them, Fercher sent the heads of Donald Bàn and some of his main supporters southwards as a gift for the king.

Despite the tightening of royal authority over the northern territories under Alexander II’s energetic leadership, sporadic disorders continued in Moray throughout the 1210s and 1220s, culminating in the burning of Abertarff castle, held by one of Alexander’s vassals, in 1228. The king rushed north in person to crush this latest insurgency, which he did with characteristic ruthlessness. By 1230, every remaining Meic Uilleim, including a baby girl whose brains were dashed out on the mercat cross of Forfar, had been killed, and a century-old challenge to the MacMalcolm kings was finally extinguished.

Alexander II went on to have a successful reign, which his son continued, it is often said to have been a golden age for our country, but lurking round the corner were turbulent tines when Alexander III fell off his horse and died at Kinghorn plunging the country into a succession crisis and ultimately the wars of Scottish Independence.

While being forced to withdraw a huge number of soldiers from Gaza due to the losses they've taken and their government's plan to fight Lebanon, the IDF released data claiming to have killed 9,000 Hamas fighters since the war started

Only one problem with this, a major Israeli newspaper states the opposite

Meaning the IDF is counting civilians it murdered as enemy combatants. The United States does the same thing with its drones program- it counts male civilians killed by drones as 'terrorists'

au where pit’s a trans girl who hasn’t figured it out yet and then the mirror of truth speedruns dp’s transition. and nothing else changes.

#kid icarus #kid icarus uprising #kiu #pit #dark pit #pittoo #pandora ki #palutena #fanart #sketch #comic #this based on my headcanon that the mirror of truth is gender affirming #which means i very much believe that pit is not transfem in canon. but BOY would it be funny if he were #the mirror of truth transing dp's gender is like trying to copy/paste an egg and ending up with a full-grown chicken #anyway. dp gets the magical miracle Instant HRT but pit has to do it the slow way. sad. many such cases each year

The power of hotdogs

Danny is running to Gotham to escape the GIW. As he’s running into an alleyway, he crashes into non other than condiment king who proceeds to attack and hits the GIW goons behind him. This absolutely terrifies them due to the fact that their prestigious white clothes will be stained. The fact that he has people running in terror gives Condiment king a giddy feeling so he proceeds to chase them around Gotham.

Thus starts Danny’s constant exploits of running to condiment king when he’s being chased and the rogue scarring the living daylights out of the GIW. They develop nightmares and Condiment king starts developing new concoctions that will specifically stain clothes and never come out. Mwa ha ha!

Eventually, Danny gets adopted by the rogue and becomes his sidekick. Now, when people learned that condiment king got a new sidekick, they laughed. Who in their right mind would want to mentor under him. They believed that this was some poor sob who was down on their luck and truly desperate. That or some weirdo like the ‘king’ himself.

But they didn’t understand.

They didn’t understand that they should never have let Danny Fenton (known as Phantom) become Condiment King’s sidekick.

Danny knows how to animate hotdogs and other foods to create an army. Danny knows intimately about the secret nasty burger sauce that is capable of powerful explosions of you heat it up. Danny has knowledge in the usage and how to build various weaponry designed to shoot or even be powered by green sludge (which can easily be replaced by ketchup, mustard, or relish).

And he hasn’t even shown Gotham his power-set yet. No one knows why he calls himself phantom. For all they know, he’s just a normal (terrifying) human.

Everyone blames the GIW for this mess.

#Dpxdc #dcxdp #all hail condiment king #Danny becomes condiment king’s sidekick.#Danny gets adopted by condiment king #He makes it everyone’s problem #Army of hotdogs #Hotdog henchmen.#The nasty burger sauce is weoponised #Don’t worry though #Danny doesn’t kill anyone #Everyone learns to FEAR condiment king’s sidekick.#Sure he’s the only rogue that doesn’t kill but he is so much worse.#The bats regret their life choices.#The bats regret they didn’t stop this.#The entirely of Gotham hates the GIW.#Even the rogues #This is all their fault.#Condiment king and Danny raid a food market and start a hotdog uprising #He drives many people to vegetarianism.#Damian is the only one happy about Danny being Condiment king’s sidekick.#Danny cannot drive.#He build a weoponised food truck.#These two things are related.

Lecture 7: Here’s a fascinating NBC News Report on the Detroit Riots (July 23-27, 1967), which left vast portions of the city – particularly African-American neighborhoods – devastated. The tone of the documentary is somber and thoughtful. One can tell while watching this special that network news is finally trying to grapple – on a deeper level – with race relations in America, a positive outcome of the post-Civil Rights era. Worsening conditions in Detroit were one factor in driving Motown to relocate to Los Angeles.
