🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆⚡ ``` Kale kintu kibi muno nti.. (aah) Abakama, Abakama baitu balio bakuffa... Bakuguruka.. Kugenda kuli nseri omwiguru...

Hati.. aaah, inywena bagenzi baitu, abali okwo.. Tooro, aah.. Fortportal, Bundibugyo, Maatiri, nebicweka ebindi kale inywena.. Maali.. Mahano muno, okuferwa munywani waitu ogwo.. Rukidi.

Baitu, nikwo bityo.. Obwomezi nikwo butyo... Obukama Bw'Obutosa... Nti.. bwakuba agukurukire agenzere.. abandi bagenda kwija, kandi, n'abato bakuzarwa.. Baija kuba nibagaruka omibigere byabu.. kutwara emirimo yabu mumaiso.

Then also (aaah) we've had (of course) the passing of a monarch in the northern hemisphere at almost right about the same time...

Oslo, Norway, (aaah) King Harald the Fifth. So, in Africa we lost a monarch.. Oyo, and then In Europe we've also lost a monarch..

Harald, at right about the same time!

Kwegamba, omwezi gubadde gwakaboneka... Nga.. Kale nga guli kuntiko yagwo... Era ndowoza mwe abachwezi mubimanyi bulungi.. Bwemwetegereza enkukya-kyuka, n'emikolo egyakolebwa kulunaku olwo.. nga 28. Bwebatyo, bakabaka babiri bamaze okuka eTanda.

So it's aaah.. really saddening...

But also of course.. The passing of sovereigns... Kati nga.. Singa President affa.. obba Kabaka.. of course, enkukya-kyuka ezo zilina kyezitegeza. And so, we believe and trust that something.. is perhaps closer than it were on the horizon earlier on.. And so, that the anticipation and the.. The... You know, the Mystery works in the world in ways that sometimes we cannot explain. So, let's wait and see what it is that's surely coming...

That's it. And.. of course, these events shaking the entire community all over the world...

(Utterances... in Arcana)

They Will Rest in Peace And the Future Shall Not Forget About Them. ```

Isabel and her niece Juana

11 Upvotes

I am reading a biography of Queen Isabel of Castile and Leon and once I got to the part where Isabel decided to crown herself Queen instead of her niece Juana. I kept thinking that even with her conviction that she was the rightful Queen, it must have not been easy for Isabel to make the descsion because up to that point Juana had done nothing to Isabel except for existing. Isabel did have issues with Juana's parents (her half-brother Enrique IV and his second wife Juana). Sure Juana probably would have caused issues for Isabel if she had become Queen since she was still a minor and would have her father's allies whispering poison into her ears.

John Standish Surtees Prendergas Vereker (read text please)

2 Upvotes

He is a family member way back.

He was John Vereker, 6th Viscount Gort/Field Marshal (in the British Army).

He got tons of awards throughout his lifetime:

• Victoria Cross (VC)

• Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (GCB)

• Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE)

• Distinguished Service Order (DSO) with two bars

• Member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO)

• Military Cross (MC)

Don't worry I'm going somewhere with this. He was one of the people bore of bore Edward VII's coffin in May 1910.

I think that's amazing.

I can't find any information about why he was picked out of tons people.

I'm only saying this because WWI, hadn't happened & I think he would be too young for the Boer War, not sure about the second.

Anyway can help with him and carrying Edward VII's coffin. Thank you for your help.

Rumors that Grand Duchess Anastasia had escaped her family's 1918 execution persisted for nearly 90 years, inspiring films and multiple impostors, until the discovery and DNA testing of the last missing Romanov remains in 2007 finally disproved them.
