No limits were set on the number of people who could enjoy the title, but only one empress can exist. Although the number of ranks were few, there existed a subsystem of ranking by prestige inside the Yuan harem. The tent (Chinese: 宮帳, translated term from Mongolian: 斡兒垜) that a consort lives in often determines their status. These tents often contain multiple Empresses, Consorts, and Concubines. In the many tents that existed, the first Empress of the first tent is considered to be the most prestigious consort. As with all parts of the Mongol Empire, Goryeo provided palace women to the Yuan dynasty. Korean concubines were procured by the Khan. One of them was Empress Gi, who, through her political command and incorporation of Korean females and eunuchs in the court, spread Korean clothing, food, and lifestyle in the capital. Empress Gi intervened in Goryeo and her family contended with the Goryeo royal family; her family was purged by Gongmin of Goryeo, and Gi retaliated with a failed Yuan invasion of Korea in 1364. The entry of Korean women into the Yuan court was reciprocated by the entry of Yuan princesses into the Goryeo court, beginning with the marriage of Chungnyeol of Goryeo and a daughter of Kublai Khan; in total, 9 princesses of the Yuan imperial court married into the Goryeo royal family. Imperial marriages between the imperial clan of the Yuan existed between certain states and tribes. These included the Onggirat tribe, Idug-qut's Uighur tribe, the Oirat tribe, and the Goryeo royal family.George Qingzhi Zhao. Marriage as Political Strategy and Cultural Expression: Mongolian Royal Marriages from World Empire to Yuan Dynasty. The Emperor Gong of Song surrendered to the Yuan dynasty in 1276 and was married off to a Yuan princess of the imperial Borjigin family. Zhao Xian had one son with the Yuan princess, Zhao Wanpu. Zhao Xian's son Zhao Wanpu was kept alive by the Yuan court because of his mother's imperial Borjigin ancestry even after the Emperor Gong of Song was ordered to be killed by Gegeen Khan. Zhao Wanpu was only moved and exiled. The outbreak of the Song loyalist Red Turban Rebellion in Henan led to a recommendation that Zhao Wanpu should be transferred somewhere else by an Imperial Censor in 1352. The Yuan did not want the Chinese rebels to get their hands on Zhao Wanpu so no one was permitted to see him and Zhao Wanpu's family and himself were exiled to Shazhou near the border by the Yuan Emperor. Paul Pelliot and John Andrew Boyle commented on Rashid-al-Din Hamadani's chapter The Successors of Genghis Khan in his work Jami' al-tawarikh, identified references by Rashid al-Din to Zhao Xian in his book where he mentions a Chinese ruler who was an "emir" and son-in-law to the Qan (Khan) after being removed from his throne by the Mongols and he is also called "Monarch of Song", or Suju (宋主 Songzhu) in the book. Ming The system was simple with five commonly used titles: Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) Imperial Noble Consort (皇貴妃; huáng guì fēi) Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) Consort (妃; fēi) Concubine (嬪; pín) Other known titles including: Lady of Handsome Fairness (婕妤; jié yú) Lady of Bright Deportment (昭儀; zhāo yí) Lady of Bright Countenance (昭容; zhāo róng) Noble Lady (貴人; guì rén) Beauty (美人; měi rén) For the Crown Prince: Crown Princess (太子妃; tài zǐ fēi) Talented Lady (才人; cái rén) Lady of Selected Service (選侍; xuǎn shì) Lady of Gentleness (淑女; shū nǚ) Human tribute, including servants, eunuchs, and virgin girls came from: China's various ethnic tribes, Mongolia, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Central Asia, Siam, Champa, and Okinawa. Joseon sent a total of 114 women to the Ming dynasty, consisting of 16 virgin girls (accompanied by 48 female servants), 42 cooks (執饌女), and 8 musical performers (歌舞女). The women were sent to the Yongle and Xuande emperors in a total of 7 missions between 1408 and 1433. Xuande was the last Ming emperor to receive human tribute from Korea; with his death in 1435, 53 Korean women were repatriated. There was much speculation that the Yongle Emperor's real mother was a Korean or Mongolian concubine. Relations between Ming China and Joseon Korea improved dramatically and became much more amicable and mutually profitable during Yongle's reign. Yongle and Xuande were said to have a penchant for Korean cuisine and women. Central Asian women were provided to the Zhengde Emperor by a Muslim guard and Sayyid Hussein from Hami. | involved elevating the position of Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) to a category all unto itself, with the following ranks: Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) Pure Consort (淑妃; shū fēi) The new category was just underneath the Empress. In 489, the position of Lady of Bright Countenance (昭容; zhāo róng) was created to fill the gap created when Pure Consort (淑妃; shū fēi) was elevated to an independent category. Liang During the reign of Emperor Wu: 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) 3 Madames (夫人; fū rén) Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) Noble Imperial Concubine (貴嬪; guì pín) Noble Concubine (貴姬; guì jī) 9 Imperial Concubines (嬪; pín) Lady of Pure Beauty (淑媛; shū yuàn) Lady of Pure Appearance (淑儀; shū yí) Lady of Pure Countenance (淑容; shū róng) Lady of Bright Splendidness (昭華; zhāo huá) Lady of Bright Countenance (昭容; zhāo róng) Lady of Bright Deportment (昭儀; zhāo yí) Lady of Cultivated Splendidness (修華; xiū huá) Lady of Cultivated Deportment (修儀; xiū yí) Lady of Cultivated Countenance (修容; xiū róng) 5 (職; zhí) Lady of Handsome Fairness (婕妤; jié yú) Lady of Lovely Countenance (容華; róng huá) Lady of Sufficient Splendidness (充華; chōng huá) Lady of Inherit Honor (承徽; chéng huī) Lady of Kind Honor (列榮; liè róng) Beauty (美人; měi rén) Lady of Virtue (良人; liáng rén) Lady of Talents (才人; cái rén) For the Crown Prince: Lady of Excellence (良娣; liáng dì) Lady of Treasure (保林; bǎo lín) Chen Initially, during the reign of Gaozu, no specific ranking system for consorts were devised, due to the Emperor's desire to live a simple life. It was only until Emperor Wen's reign did a ranking system came into being: 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) 3 Madames (夫人; fū rén) Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) Noble Imperial Concubine (貴嬪; guì pín) Noble Concubine (貴姬; guì jī) 9 Imperial Concubines (嬪; pín) Lady of Pure Beauty (淑媛; shū yuàn) Lady of Pure Appearance (淑儀; shū yí) Lady of Pure Countenance (淑容; shū róng) Lady of Bright Splendidness (昭華; zhāo huá) Lady of Bright Countenance (昭容; zhāo róng) Lady of Bright Deportment (昭儀; zhāo yí) Lady of Cultivated Splendidness (修華; xiū huá) Lady of Cultivated Deportment (修儀; xiū yí) Lady of Cultivated Countenance (修容; xiū róng) 5 (職; zhí) Handsome Fairness (婕妤; jié yú) Lady of Lovely Countenance (容華; róng huá) Lady of Sufficient Splendidness (充華; chōng huá) Lady of Inherit Honor (承徽; chéng huī) Lady of Kind Honor (列榮; liè róng) Beauty (美人; měi rén) Lady of Talents (才人; cái rén) Lady of Virtue (良人; liáng rén) Northern Wei During the reign of Emperor Daowu, the consort ranking system was very simple, and only contained the rank of Madame (夫人; fū rén). However, there existed an unwritten, subjective system of prestige rankings in between. It was during the reign of Emperor Taiwu that the system of rankings listed below came into force: Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) Left Lady of Bright Deportment (左昭儀; zuǒ zhāo yí), Right Lady of Bright Deportment (右昭儀; yòu zhāo yí) Noble Lady (貴人; guì rén) (椒房; jiāo fáng) (中式; zhōng shì) During the sinification of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen reformed the consort ranking system to the system below: 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) Left Lady of Bright Deportment (左昭儀; zuǒ zhāo yí), Right Lady of Bright Deportment (右昭儀; yòu zhāo yí) 3 Madames (夫人; fū rén) Third Imperial Concubine (三嬪; sān pín) Sixth Imperial Concubine (六嬪; (liù pín) Hereditary Consort (世婦; shì fù) Imperial Wife (御妻; yù qī) Northern Qi In the beginning, there were only three ranks for consorts: Madame (夫人; fū rén), Imperial Concubine (嬪; pín), and Imperial Ladies (禦; yù). However, as Emperor Wucheng ascended to the throne, a system of rankings more sophisticated than any devised before was promulgated: 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) 1 Left Lady of Beautiful Flower (左娥英; zuǒ é yīng), 1 Right Lady of Beautiful Flower (右娥英; yòu é yīng) 1 Pure Consort (淑妃; shū fēi) 1 Left Lady of Bright Deportment (左昭儀; zuǒ zhāo yí), 1 Right Lady of Bright Deportment (右昭儀; yòu zhāo yí) 3 Madames (夫人; fū rén) Madame of Great Moral (弘德; hóng dé) Madame of Just Moral (正德; zhèng dé) Madame of High Moral (崇德; chóng dé) Upper Concubines (上嬪; shàng pín) Upper Concubine of Great Honor (隆徽; lóng huī) Upper Concubine of Light Plan (光猷; guāng yóu) Upper Concubine of Bright Instruction (昭訓; zhāo xùn) Lower Concubines (下嬪; xià pín) Lower Concubine of Proclaimed Honor (宣徽; xuān huī) Lower Concubine of Proclaimed Brightness (宣明; xuān míng) Lower Concubine of Congealed Brightness (凝暉; níng huī) Lower Concubine of Congealed Splendidness (凝華; níng huá) Lower Concubine of Conducive Splendidness (順華; shùn huá) Lower Concubine of Light Instruction (光訓; guāng xùn) 27 Hereditary Consorts (世婦; shì fù) Lady of Talents (才人; cái rén) Selected Lady (採女; cǎi nǚ) Northern Zhou 1 Empress (皇后; Huánghòu) 3 Madames (夫人; fū rén), later 3 Consorts (妃; fēi) Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) Great Noble Consort (長貴妃; zhǎng guì fēi) Virtuous Consort (德妃; dé fēi) 3 (㚤; yì) 6 Imperial Concubines (嬪; pín) Lady of Bright Splendidness (昭化; zhāo huà) Imperial Beauties (禦媛; yù yuàn) Lady of Upper Beauty (上媛; shàng yuàn) Lady of Middle Beauty (中媛; zhōng yuàn) Lady of Lower Beauty (下媛; xià yuàn) Lady of Imperial Gracefulness (禦婉; yù wǎn) Lady of Upper Gracefulness (上婉; shàng wǎn) Lady of Middle Gracefulness (中婉; zhōng wǎn) Lady of Lower Gracefulness (下婉; xià wǎn) During the reign of Emperor Xuan, five Empresses were created (unprecedented by Chinese standards): Yang Lihua, First Great Empress of Heaven (天元大皇后 楊麗華) Zhu Manyue, Great Empress of Heaven (天大皇后 朱滿月) Chen Yueyi, Great Centre Empress of Heaven (天中大皇后 陳月儀) Yuchi Chifan, Great Left Empress of Heaven (天左大皇后 尉遲熾繁) Yuan Leshang, Great Right Empress of Heaven (天右大皇后 元樂尚) In addition, there were an innumerable number of consorts in the harem. Sui In the beginning, there existed a simple system of rankings for imperial consorts: 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) 4(?) Concubine (嬪; pín) 9 Hereditary Consorts (世婦; shì fù) 38 Ladies of His Majesty (禦女; yù nǚ) There also existed a system of Women Palace Officials (女官; nǚ guān) to manage ceremonial affairs in the harem. The system was based on similar systems in the past. After the death of Empress Dugu, Emperor Wen expanded the ranks of the consorts to the following: 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) 3 Noble Ladies (貴人; guì rén) 9 Imperial Concubines (嬪; pín) 27 Hereditary Consorts (世婦; shì fù) 81 Ladies of His Majesty (禦女; yù nǚ) During the reign of Emperor Yang, the ranking system was expanded yet again, based on systems in the past, to the following: 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) 3 Consorts (夫人; fū rén) Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) Pure Consort (淑妃; shū fēi) Virtuous Consort (德妃; dé fēi) 9 Imperial Concubines (嬪; pín) Lady of Conducive Wellness (順儀; shùn yí) Lady of Supportive Wellness (順容; shùn róng) Lady of Splendid Wellness (順華; shùn huá) Lady of Cultivated Deportment (修儀; xiū yí) Lady of Cultivated Countenance (修容; xiū róng) Lady of Cultivated Splendidness (修華; xiū huá) Lady of Complete Deportment (充衣; chōng yī) Lady of Complete Countenance (充容; chōng róng) Lady of Complete Splendidness (充華; chōng huá) 12 Handsome Fairness (婕妤; jié yú) 15 Hereditary Consorts(世婦; shì fù) Beauty (美人; měi rén) Talented Lady (才人; cái rén) 24 Ladies of Treasure (寶林; bǎolín) 24 Ladies of His Majesty (禦女; yù nǚ) 37 Ladies of Elegance (採女; cǎi nǚ) Tang Imperial consorts of Tang China are organized in eight or nine ranks, in addition to the empress. They are also called the "inner officials" (內官), as opposed to "palace officials" (宮官), the bureaucracy. 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) 4 Consort (夫人; fū rén) Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) Pure Consort (淑妃; shū fēi) Virtuous Consort (德妃; dé fēi) Able Consort (賢妃; xián fēi) 9 Imperial Concubine (嬪; pín) Lady of Bright Deportment (昭儀; zhāo yí) Lady of Bright Countenance (昭容; zhāo róng) Lady of Bright Beauty (昭媛; zhāo yuàn) Lady of Cultivated Deportment (修儀; xiū yí) Lady of Cultivated Countenance (修容; xiū róng) Lady of Cultivated Beauty (修媛; xiū yuàn) Lady of Complete Deportment (充衣; chōng yī) Lady of Complete Countenance (充容; chōng róng) Lady of Complete Beauty (充媛; chōng yuàn) 9 Lady of Handsome Fairness (婕妤; jié yú) 9 Beauty (美人; měi rén) 9 Lady of Talents (才人; cái rén) 27 Lady of Treasure / Lady of Precious Bevy (寶林; bǎo lín) 27 Lady of His Majesty / Secondary Concubine (禦女; yù nǚ) 27 Selected Lady / Lady of Elegance (採女; cǎi nǚ) During the reign of Gaozong: 1 Empress (皇后; huáng hòu) 4 Consort (夫人; fū rén) Noble Consort (貴妃; guì fēi) Pure Consort (淑妃; shū fēi) Virtuous Consort (德妃; dé fēi) Worthy Consort (賢妃; xián fēi) 9 Imperial Concubine (嬪; pín) Lady of Bright Deportment (昭儀; zhāo yí) Lady of Bright Countenance (昭容; zhāo róng) Lady of Bright Beauty (昭媛; zhāo yuàn) Lady of Cultivated Deportment (修儀; xiū yí) Lady of Cultivated Countenance (修容; xiū róng) Lady of Cultivated Beauty (修媛; xiū yuàn) Lady of Complete Deportment (充衣; chōng yī) Lady of Complete Countenance (充容; chōng róng) Lady of Complete Beauty (充媛; chōng yuàn) 9 Lady of Handsome Fairness (婕妤; jié yú) 9 Beauty (美人; měi rén) 9 Lady of Talents (才人; cái rén) In 662, the titles were temporarily changed to be devoid of feminine and superficial quality.

Found guilty of both, told to pay vets' fees and banned from keeping pets . | A man who was filmed battering his terrier after it had caught a rabbit has been banned from keeping animals for three years. Jon Soley, 33, from Darlington, Co. Durham, was seen on mobile phone footage shown to a court forcefully kicking his Patterdale terrier, Billy. Onlookers could be heard laughing and cheering as Soley repeatedly hit the small dog in the face with the dead rabbit. Kevin Campbell, prosecuting on behalf of the RSPCA, told the court: 'He struck the dog and caused it to suffer. Anyone who treats a dog like that causes it to suffer.' Scroll down for video . Jon Soley, 33, from Darlington, was filmed repeatedly hitting his Patterdale terrier in the face with a dead rabbit . The dog, a family pet, can be seen cowering in the footage which was shown to Newton Aycliffe magistrates . Animal cruelty: Soley's solicitor agreed that the footage was disturbing but said he had kept dogs all his life . In mitigation, John Grierson said that while he agreed the footage was disturbing, his client had no previous convictions for animal cruelty and had kept dogs all his life. He told the court Soley had not sought treatment for his pet's mouth ulcer because it did not appear to be causing him any discomfort. 'Billy was a family pet - he went out for walks with the children in the family. He will regret the loss of the dog,' he said. Soley had denied a charge of causing unnecessary suffering to the dog, and another of failing to meet its needs by not seeking veterinary treatment for a mouth ulcer, but was found guilty at Newton Aycliffe magistrates' court. He also admitted two offences under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of possessing a cage trap and attempting to take a wild bird. As well as a three-year ban on keeping animals, Soley was given a 12-month community order with 80 hours of unpaid work. The court also heard that Soley, pictured above, had failed to seek treatment for the dog's mouth ulcer . The dog, which can be seen shrinking away as its owner approaches it, has been handed to the RSPCA . He must also pay court costs of £1,200, a £60 victim surcharge and vet fees of £360. Billy was signed over to the RSPCA and magistrates ordered the destruction of the mobile phone and bird cages. Soley was arrested during dawn raids in May last year as part of Operation Stockholm - a joint initiative by the RSPCA and Darlington police to tackle animal cruelty in the area. Speaking after the hearing, RSPCA chief inspector Mark Gent said he was pleased with the result and hoped it would act as a deterrent for others. He said: 'This is a prime example of where we have undertaken a joint operation focussing on things that have been put on the internet and brought those people to justice.' |

grazing land is far more important than the roads. The lack of road signs and few villages can make navigating across the marsh very confusing for outsiders. Several minor roads have no finger posts at junctions at all and at others, it is possible to find two or three lanes apparently leading to the same village. Many of these lanes are built on the remains of enclosures used to "in" the Marsh. There is a dramatic section near Brookland, where a lane linking the Woolpack pub to Lydd is perched 2 or 3 m above the surrounding farmland, on the "Hook" wall. The section of road between Brenzett and Lydd Lane end is built on the Rhee wall, a medieval canal that brought water from higher up the river Rother. The main road is the A259 from Rye, which is narrow and winding to Brookland and Brenzett, where it splits in two. One arm becomes the A2070 and runs parallel to the railway to link the Marsh to Hamstreet, Ashford and the wider world. The other, still the A259, is good only as far as the junction with Lydd Lane (B2075) and leads to New Romney, Dymchurch, Hythe and eventually, Folkestone. The local bus routes on the Marsh are operated by Stagecoach in East Kent and link it to Ashford, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone, Hastings, Northiam and Tenterden. The best way to see the Marsh is on cycle: the almost flat terrain, the narrow, almost deserted lanes, make it ideal for family jaunts. National Cycle Route 2 passes through the area; the section between Rye and Lydd is mostly off-road. From Lydd to Hythe, it uses quiet lanes; from Hythe it is possible to cycle along the sea wall to Folkestone, and ultimately (off-road) to reach Dover. Railways The main line railway known as the Marsh Link Line is the Ashford to Hastings line, with stations at Hamstreet, Appledore, Rye, and Winchelsea. The one-time branch to New Romney from Appledore (its small offshoot to Dungeness closed in 1937) was closed to passenger traffic in 1967. It was possible to travel directly from Dungeness to London, and the 2-hr journey time was quicker than by road and rail today. The line is still in place about a mile short of Dungeness. In the early 21st century, it is used to transfer spent fuel from the nuclear power plant. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, a -gauge miniature railway and the only miniature railway in the British Isles ever to have been incorporated under the Light Railways Act 1896, has been operating along the Romney Marsh coast since 1927. It runs for from Hythe to Dungeness. Walks The Saxon Shore Way starts at Gravesend, Kent. It traces the coast as it was in Roman times as far as Hastings, East Sussex, 163 mi (262 km) in total, crossing the Marsh. The Marsh in war Throughout its history, the proximity of the marsh to the European mainland meant that this area was in the front line whenever invasion threatened. In AD 892, one such invasion was successful. The Danish fleet of 250 ships sailed right into the Rother and took the fortress at Appledore (allegedly built by King Arthur), which they destroyed. Cinque Ports The importance of the Cinque Ports was in their strategic location at the narrowest part of the English Channel. They were important for both trade and defense. Romney and Hythe were two of the ports within the Romney Marsh; Rye and Winchelsea were later added as “Antient Towns”. Rye replaced Romney as one of the main five when Romney's port was silted in. Royal Military Canal The Royal Military Canal stretches for 28 miles hugging the old cliff line that borders the Romney Marsh from Hythe in the north east to Cliff End in the south west. It was conceived by Lt-Col Brown of the Royal Staff Corps of field engineers in 1804, the time of the Napoleonic Wars, as a way to ensure that an invasion by the French could not use the marsh as a bridgehead. John Rennie acted as consultant engineer, and the work was completed in April 1809. A military road was built on the inland side of the canal, which consisted of two parts, joined by sections of the River Rother and the River Brede. Martello Towers Martello towers are fortifications that were built by the British Army for coastal defence during the early nineteenth century and the Napoleonic Wars. Seventy-four towers were built along the south coast; Tower 1 was at Folkestone, overlooking the harbour, and Tower 74 guarded the beach at Seaford in East Sussex. Six were built in pairs in Dymchurch to protect the Romney Marsh sluices from potential invading French forces. One of these, Martello Tower No. 24 is closest to its original condition, and has its cannon. It is open to the public during the summer months. The towers were built between 1805 and 1808, when Napoleon was a threat. Sound Mirrors Prior to World War II, experiments to detect enemy aircraft with huge concrete acoustic mirrors were conducted at Greatstone. The large concrete mirrors were built between 1928 and 1930 as an early warning system in case of approaching German aircraft. These experiments had variable success but the technology very quickly became obsolete with the invention of radar. World War II Germany's Operation Sea Lion plan included crossing the flat marsh during an invasion across the English Channel. The government planned to flood the area to prevent troops and equipment from crossing the area. Thousands of concrete pillboxes were built in Kent; 6,500 of the crumbling structures remain standing to this day. The ancient Royal Military Canal was well guarded with troops, pillboxes and barbed wire. Training was provided in the area for the secret Auxiliary Units, men who would be deployed in case of an invasion. Four Advanced Landing Ground airstrips were built on Romney Marsh in 1942, for use by fighters and light bombers; these were used for flights in 1944 against the German Flying bombs. The miniature Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway was used by the government to run armoured trains during construction of Operation Pluto, known as the Pipe Line Under The Ocean. It was to pass under the English Channel, and was intended to supply fuel to the Allied forces that would be involved in Operation Overlord (the 1944 invasion of Normandy). Military Training There are two military establishments on the Marsh: the Hythe and Lydd Ranges. The latter has a large danger area marked on maps south of Lydd towards the sea. The Metropolitan Police also have a substantial facility just outside Lydd, where a mock urban 'townscape' complete with full-size houses, streets, etc., provides an appropriate environment for counter-terrorism and civil disorder training. "Lost villages" of the Marsh Some of the lost communities on the Marsh are instances of the modern decline of the rural communities; others occurred over the centuries. In 1348, for example, many villages were decimated by the Black Death. The few survivors moved to other places. The villages, shown below with the modern Ordnance Survey map information on Sheet 189, were: Buttdarts: Buttdart Bridge, over one of the larger marsh drains Dengemarsh: south of Lydd; the village was closed when the government opened the Lydd ranges in WWII [not marked on OS Map: ?TR 0417] Eastbridge: Eastbridge House, on Dymchurch to Bonnington road: the road is named Eastbridge Road out of Dymchurch. Remains: large part of west wall of the tower, some other fragments. Village had a population of 21 (1801 Census). Fairfield: NW of Brookland Falconhurst: a house north of the Royal Military Canal six miles west of Hythe. Galloways: south of Lydd, village was closed when the Lydd ranges were opened in WWII [not marked on OS Map: ?TR 0017] Hope All Saints: Hope Farm, NW of New Romney. The remains of the church are marked on the map. (See Romney Marsh Gazeteer) Midley: Midley Cottages, SW of Old Romney This was once a small island in the Rother between the larger ones of Romney and Lydd, and the name means "middle island". In the 8th century there was a village on this site, and 23 people still lived here in 1801. Now, only the ruined west wall of the church remains. During World War II, an RAF airfield was built and operated here. Orgarswick: Orgarswick Farm, NW of Dymchurch Shorne: no modern trace, although there are unnamed church remains NNW of New Romney near Chapel Land Farm Snave: Although the church still stands, it is used only once a year for a harvest festival service. Today it falls under the Hamstreet group of churches. (See Romney Marsh Gazeteer) Smuggling The flat, almost empty landscape and numerous waterways made for a smuggler's paradise from the 1600s into the 1800s. The traffic was two-way, since wool was smuggled from this area to the Continent. The main gangs on the Marsh were the Hawkhurst Gang, the Mayfield Gang, and the Aldington Gang, known also as the Blues. Smugglers on the Marshes were known as Owlers. The name was rumoured to be derived from the owl-like sounds they used to communicate at night. Literary associations Romney Marsh has been represented in a distinguished literary history. Three authors who specifically used the marsh as settings for their works were E.F. Benson, author of the Mapp and Lucia novels; Russell Thorndike, author of the Doctor Syn novels; and the children's writer Monica Edwards, author of Romney Marsh books. She changed the name of Rye Harbour to "Westling", Rye is renamed "Dunsford", and Winchelsea is known as "Winklesea". Rosemary Sutcliff's 1955 historical novel Outcast depicts Roman efforts to build the Rhee Wall and reclaim land from the sea. A fictitious Romney Marsh estate near Charbury is a key setting in The Eagle Has Flown (1991) by Jack Higgins, the quasi-sequel to The Eagle Has Landed. Both are related to World War II. The latter novel was adapted as a successful motion picture starring Michael Caine. Modern-day novelist George Chittenden captures smuggling on the Kent coast in his highly praised debut children's novel, The Boy Who Led Them (2012). It follows the rise and fall of a smuggling gang leader in Deal, Kent, a notorious smuggling town further down the coast. Many other well-known writers have been associated with the area: Henry James lived in Rye; Daphne du Maurier lived in Hythe for a few years during World War II; H.G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, Stephen Crane, Radclyffe Hall, Noël Coward, Edith Nesbit, Rumer Godden, Malcolm Saville, and Conrad Aiken also | lookers were hired to look after the large flocks of sheep in the expanses of Romney Marsh. The lookers' huts were their temporary accommodation and store for tools. A hut was about square with a tiled roof and a chimney, a small window and a fireplace. The hut was particularly important at lambing time: the looker's family would regularly visit him, bringing supplies for the week. There were 356 lookers' huts recorded in 1870; the practice of living out on the Marsh at certain times of the year was ending in the 1930s, and few are now left. A hut at Cold Harbour Farm near Brookland, built about 1900, is a Grade II listed building. There is a reconstructed hut at the Visitor Centre in Romney Warren Country Park. Romney Marsh Countryside Partnership (RMCP) The Romney Marsh Countryside Partnership was set up in June 1996, as a sister project to the White Cliffs Countryside Partnership. With the help of volunteers, it manages and maintains various sites across the Marsh. The non-profit organisation aims to care for the special landscape and wildlife of the Romney Marsh and Dungeness while encouraging people to enjoy and understand the countryside through volunteer work, guided walks, cycle rides, countryside events and children's activities. Malaria In the past, people who lived in the marsh frequently suffered from malaria, then known as ague or marsh fever, which caused high mortality rates until the 1730s. It remained a major problem until the completion of the Royal Military Canal in 1806, which greatly improved the drainage of the area. This disease probably arrived here with mosquitoes as soon as the weather became warm enough after the end of the last glacial, around or before the time of the Roman occupation. The strain responsible was most probably Plasmodium vivax, as records and texts describe agues or fevers at three or four-day intervals. Prior Anselm, of nearby Canterbury, recorded in the 1070s and 1080s a case that had every appearance of malaria. Although five indigenous mosquito species are capable of being hosts for the malarial parasite, only the Anopheles atroparvus species breeds in sufficient numbers here to act as an efficient vector. However, P. vivax likes brackish waters and, with the recreation of the old coastal wetlands coming into favour, this could expand the future malarial parasite host reserve. Together with the average temperatures in England increasing due to climate change, English malaria may become re-established in the marshes. Transport Roads Roads across the Marsh have always been narrow and winding. This is partly because of the hundreds of sewers and smaller drainage ditches, and because the grazing land is far more important than the roads. The lack of road signs and few villages can make navigating across the marsh very confusing for outsiders. Several minor roads have no finger posts at junctions at all and at others, it is possible to find two or three lanes apparently leading to the same village.

Garda. Torbole, as early as the 15th century, was a stop for European travelers passing through on the Atesina road from Germany to Italy. Montaigne visited it in 1580. Goethe arrived here from Rovereto in the afternoon of 12 September 1786, four days after having crossed Brenner Pass. Goethe was 37 years old and upon seeing the blue expanse of Lake Garda and the silver olive-groves, he experienced for the first time the atmosphere and mild climate of the places extolled by the Classics, and he wrote that he had achieved happiness. The Brescian Cesare Arici, idyllic rural poet, exalted the "fishy Torbole". The painter Hans Lietzmann bought a large olive grove on the lake's shore (behind the Hotel Paradiso) and opened a school of nude art. The current tourist centre evolved in the second half of the last century from a village of fishermen, farmers and mountaineers, into a seasonal health-resort for European travellers, like the neighbouring Riva and Arco. Main sights The church of Sant'Andrea is first mentioned in a document dated 1175. In 1183 the Pope Lucius III assigned it, together with the surrounding olive grove, to the Cistercian Abbey of Saint Lorenzo in Trento, Italy. In 1497 some of the properties of the Church were given for the support of a priest who would look after the Torbole Community. In 1741 the curate of Torbole had been founded and in 1839 the church was officially consecrated. After being ravaged by French troops in 1703, the church was rebuilt in the Late Baroque style, but some architectural elements have been recovered, as testified by the dates sculptured on the base of the two rocky arches of the transept. The altar piece in the apse represents the martyrdom of Saint Andrea, by Giambettino Cignaroli. A painted vertical sundial can be seen on the church's lake facing wall and on the opposite side is a small cemetery. The parish Saint Andrea church is divided into three naves and keeps a wooden chorus. Another artwork is the 18th-century canvas by Giambettino Cignaroli representing the Saint Andrea martyrdom.

At this poit Unneland joined in the band Savoy. Chocolate Overdose managed to record two full albums with Doddo before releasing something on their own. Whatever was first released in the United States and Canada in 1997 on the label Bar None, while the Norwegian fans had to wait until the spring of 1998, when a contract with Rune Grammofon was signed. The next album was produced by the band, and included guest musicians like Hildegunn Solbø (vocals), Per Jørgensen (trumpet) and Stein Inge Brækhus (drums). The fourth album Dingledoodies, was released the year after, and stood out as the most complete album style-wise. Anders Marius Bortne collaborated as co-vocalist on the track «Lou and Lee». The author Aksel Fugelli wrote lyrics for the band, and he and Luedy acted as a duo under the name Lou and Lee.

95–135. The first bars of this section involve a stretto passage: the pedal starts to play the fugue theme as usual, only to be taken up by the true fugue theme, off the beat and in the lowest manual part. Between bars 113 and 115, there is a further fugal entry in E minor in the middle manual part. Finally, at bar 131, there is the last fugal entry in the lowest manual part. After each of these fugal entries, episodes are freely developed over brief pedal points. In bars 132–134, the rising quaver scales in the pedals lead up to the final section. Bars 135–151. There is a pedal point for four bars, with the upper manual parts accompanying the arpeggio motifs in the lowest manual part; that is followed by solo arpeggio pedalwork for seven bars; then, in a virtuosic cadenza-like coda, the regular semidemiquaver passage-work in the highest part leads up to an emphatic closing cadence in the minor key. The fugue is in time, unlike the prelude, which is in time. The fugue theme, like that of the prelude, is composed of arpeggiated chords and downward sequences, especially in its later half. Due to the sequential nature of the subject, the majority of the fugue is composed of sequences or cadences. The Fugue ends in one of Bach's most toccata-like, virtuosic cadenzas in the harmonic minor. Unlike most of Bach's minor-key keyboard works, it ends on a minor chord rather than a picardy third. Reception and arrangements In his book on the reception of Bach's organ works in nineteenth-century Germany, the musicologist Russell Stinson immediately singles out Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms. In his introduction Stinson writes that experiencing these works "through the eyes and ears of these four titans immeasurably increases one's appreciation of the music." He picks out the fugue of BWV 543, nicknamed "The Great", as a quintessential example: its performance on the organ, where Mendelssohn effortlessly mastered the pedalwork; the fugue as a compositional model for both Mendelssohn and Brahms; the piano transcription regularly played by Liszt and Brahms; and the actual publication of Liszt's transcription, which inspired budding pianists. Women also played an important role: Clara Schumann as a highly reputed pianist and fellow advocate of Bach; and Mendelssohn's accomplished sisters, Fanny and Rebecka, who played the fugue in piano arrangements either together or with their brother Felix. As further evidence of the reputation of the fugue, Stinson observes that, "Schumann attended and reviewed Mendelssohn's only public performance of the movement, Liszt heard Clara play her piano transcription of it, and Clara eventually played Liszt's transcription." Mendelssohn family Through their connection with the publisher C. F. Peters, the family of Fanny, Rebecka and Felix Mendelssohn are known to have played in private or performed in public Bach organ works arranged for two pianos or piano four-hands. Liszt's transcription Because of the piece's overall rhapsodic nature, many organists play this piece freely, and in a variety of tempi; it can be easily transcribed to a different instrument. Liszt included it in his transcriptions of the "six great preludes and fugues" BWV 543–548 for piano (S. 462), composed in 1839–1840 and published in 1852 by C. F. Peters. As a child, Liszt had been instructed by his father to master the keyboard works of Bach, with daily exercises on fugues from the Well-Tempered Clavier (WTC). As a concert pianist, however, Liszt was not drawn to the organ. In 1857, having attended a Bach organ recital at the Frauenkirche, Dresden, which captivated both Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim, Liszt's reaction had been, "Hm, dry as bones." Nevertheless, as far as Bach's music is concerned, Liszt became highly influential as a performer, transcriber and teacher. Already in 1836, early in his career, it is known that Liszt had developed a reverence for Bach's great "six preludes and fugues", BWV 543–548, or "The Great Six" fugues as they became known in the nineteenth century. In fact the previous year Liszt had eloped to Geneva with Marie d'Agoult, with whom they eventually had three children. After the birth of their first child, Liszt asked his mother in 1836 for his copies of The Art of the Fugue and the Great Six. In the same year Liszt became close to the circle of George Sand and Adolphe Pictet, both Bach devotees. Three years later, writing to Pictet from Rome, Liszt praised the "magnificent" Six Fugues, offering to send him a copy if he lacked one. During his period in Rome, there was a service at the church of the French Embassy, where Liszt performed one of Bach's fugues: according to Stinson, Liszt is unlikely to have had the pedal technique required for any of the Great Six, so almost certainly it was one of the WTC. When Liszt moved to Berlin in 1841, the first concerts where his new piano transcriptions of the Great Six were heard were at the beginning of 1842, with the E minor fugue of BWV 548 at the Singakademie and the A minor fugue of BWV 543 in Potsdam. During that period, as a travelling musician, Liszt's pianistic pyrotechnics proved a huge attraction for concert-goers. The term Lisztomania was coined by Heinrich Heine in 1844 to describe the frenzy generated by his Berlin audiences, even amongst the musically informed. Liszt performed the A minor fugue regularly in Berlin between 1842 and 1850. During this period there were reports that Liszt resorted to stunts in front of live audiences, which prompted possibly deserved charges of charlatanry. In August 1844, Liszt stayed in Montpellier while performing in the region. While there, he met up with his friend Jean-Joseph Bonaventure Laurens, an organist, artist and writer. His friendship with the Schumanns and Mendelssohn and the Bach library he had assembled with them enabled Laurens to become one of the main experts on Bach organ works in France. 40 years later, Laurens' brother recalls their lunchtime conversation. In semi-serious banter, Liszt demonstrated three ways of playing the A minor fugue, a work that Laurens said was so hard that only Liszt might be the only one capable of tackling it. Liszt first gave a straight rendition, which was a perfect classical way of playing; then he gave a second more colourful but still nuanced rendition, which was equally appreciated; finally he provided a third rendition, "as I would play it for the public ... to astonish, as a charlatan!" Laurens then writes that, "lighting a cigar that passed at moments from between his lips to his fingers, executing with his ten fingers the part written for the pedals, and indulging in other tours de force and prestidigitation, he was prodigious, incredible, fabulous, and received gratefully with enthusiasm." points out that this kind of gimmickry was not uncommon at that time: "Indeed, [Liszt] is reported to have accompanied Joachim in the last movement of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto with a lighted cigar in his right hand the entire time!" In 1847, exhausted by his years on the concert circuit, Liszt retired to the Weimar, where in 1848 he was appointed to be Kappelmeister at the Grand Duchy, the same role once filled by Bach. He initially was there for 13 years. Later he also divided his time between Budapest and Rome, teaching masterclasses. His new mistress was Princess Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein, who lived in a country estate at Woronińce in Ukraine; their companionship continued until Liszt's death. After three months in Woronińce, Liszt set to work on preparing the transcriptions of BWV 543–548. He chose the edition of Haslinger as a starting point, although probably also consulted the 1844 Peters edition. He was aided by the copyist Joachim Raff at various stages. gives the technical details of the different stages of transcription, which started from simple notes in Haslinger's score: these are recorded in the Goethe- und Schiller-Archive in Weimar. In his book, Stinson gives | music written by Johann Sebastian Bach sometime around his years as court organist to the Duke of Saxe-Weimar (1708–1713). Versions and sources According to David Schulenberg, the main sources for BWV 543 can be traced to the Berlin circle around Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Johann Kirnberger. The copyist associated with C. P. E. Bach has only been identified as "Anonymous 303"; the manuscript is now housed in the Berlin State Library. Although less prolific than copyists like Johann Friedrich Agricola, from the many hand-copies circulated for purchase by Anon 303, including those from the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin recovered from Kyiv in 2001, commentators agree that the professional copyist must have enjoyed a close relationship with C. P. E. Bach. The other secondary source for BWV 543 came through the copyist Johann Gottfried Siebe and Kirnberger. The manuscript became part of the Amalienbibliothek, the music library of Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia; it is now in the Berlin State Library. There is an additional source from the copyist Joachim Andreas Dröbs whose score for BWV 543 formed part of a collection by Johann Christian Kittel, now in the Leipzig University Library. The sources for BWV 543a, which is presumed to be an earlier version of BWV 543 differing markedly from the prelude but identical to the fugue, originate in Leipzig. The main source was an unidentified copyist associated with Bach's pupil Johann Ludwig Krebs; the manuscript is now in the Berlin State Library. A secondary source is from the copyist Johann Peter Kellner, written around 1725 and also now in the Berlin State Library. An additional source is the score made by the copyist Michael Gotthardt Fischer; it is now stored in the Irving S. Gilmore Music Library of Yale University. Prelude There are two versions of the Prelude, both dating from the same period in Weimar (1708–1713). The versions of the fugue are identical, whereas the two versions of the prelude are distinct, the first version BWV 543/1a is shorter and presumed to be the earlier. The sources for BWV 543 are summarised in the section above. The differences between the two versions of the prelude are discussed in : the earlier version is 43 bars long, while the later version is 53 bars long. The main differences occur in bars 1–6 of BWV 543a/1 and bars 1–9 of 543/1 where the descending semiquaver broken-chord figures are altered and truncated. The same applies for the corresponding passages for bars 17–18 in BWV 543a/1 and bars 26–28 in BWV 543/1. In addition the triplet semiquavers in the later prelude are notated as demisemiquavers. As observes, "The more serious question concerning the opening passage of the prelude in its early and later versions is the fact that Bach changed his demisemiquavers to semiquavers [...] and in doing so preserved a calmer mood and a less rhapsodic feeling in the music; this change, however, does not and cannot mean that the early version is wrong or that the composer was mistaken. In the later version Bach was thinking on a larger scale and was considering the fugue and companion movement on a similarly large scale [...] The simplest way of extending the early prelude was to double the note values of the passages cited and thus make its flow more even." Fugue The musicologist Peter Williams has pointed out that the catchy "lengthy sequential tail" of this fugue subject (its last 3 bars) "easily confuse[s] the ear about the beat" and is harmonically an exact "paraphrase" of the sequence in bars 6-8 of Vivaldi's double violin concerto Op. 3 No. 8 in A minor (RV 522, from L'estro armonico). Bach arranged this Vivaldi concerto as his solo organ "concerto" BWV 593, probably in 1714–16. This 4-voice fugue BWV 543 has been compared to Bach's harpsichord Fugue in A minor, BWV 944, a 3-voice fugue that was probably written in 1708, and this organ fugue has even been called "the final incarnation" of BWV 944. (A similarity had been mentioned by Wolfgang Schmieder, editor of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis.) However, the idea of any close relationship (let alone a reincarnation) has been challenged. Williams writes that the fugue "has often been likened to the keyboard fugue BWV 944 [...] and claimed as some kind of version of it [but] the resemblances – contours of subject and countersubject, a perpetuum mobile element, a rather free close – are too slight" to support the comparisons. Williams also cites similarities "between the subject’s outline and that of the A minor Fugue BWV 559, or between the pedal figures in both Preludes' closing stages [and] in the Prelude’s opening [right hand] figure, in a Corrente in Vivaldi’s Op. 2 No. 1, of 1709, and in a Fugue in E minor by Pachelbel." Aside from Williams' observations about the fugue subject, the fugues BWV 543 and 944 differ in their larger outlines: their harmonic structure and the series of expositions and episodes are not parallel. Musical structure Prelude Although Philipp Spitta has seen elements of northern traditions of the early Prelude BWV 543a/1 typical of the school of Buxtehude, has pointed out that the same features are also present in the later version BWV 543/1. These include solo passages at the start; semiquaver passages with hidden two- or three-part counterpoint in both the manuals and pedals; virtuosic demisemiquaver passages with trills leading to a cadence; and running semiquaver and demisemiquaver figures throughout, including at the start and in the coda. The traditional aspects are the semiquaver arpeggiated passage work with its "latent counterpoint" which incorporates a descending chromatic bass line. The semiquaver figures begin as a solo in the manual: and then, after a lengthy demisemiquaver embellishment over a tonic pedal point, are heard again in the pedal. The highly embellished cadence that follows—full of manual runs over sustained pedal notes—leads into a contrapuntal exploration of the opening material in sequence; this is followed by a very free peroration. Features which distinguish Bach's writing from seventeenth-century compositions include its regular tempo throughout; the careful planning of climaxes; the well-judged changes from semiquavers, to semiquaver triplets and then demisemiquavers. After bars 36, there are semiquaver motifs in the manuals answered by similar motifs in the pedals: there are brisé effects similar to those found in chorale prelude BWV 599 or the Passacaglia, BWV 582/1; and pedal motifs similar to those found in the chorale prelude BWV 643. For both of these chorale preludes from the Orgelbüchlein, however, it is the systematic use of motifs that establish a particular musical mood. The Toccata-like Prelude in A minor—in the stylus phantasticus—bears the hallmarks of Bach's early, north German-influenced style, while the fugue could be considered a later product of Bach's maturity. Fugue The versions of the 4-part fugue for BWV 543a and BWV 543 are identical; it lasts 151 bars. The theme can be traced back to Bach's organ concerto in A minor BWV 593, transcribed for organ from Antonio Vivaldi's concerto for two violins, Op.3, No.8, RV 522, part of his collection L'estro armonico. The fugue can be broken up into sections as follows: Bars 1–30. There is an exposition for each of the four parts, three in the manuals and one in the pedal, each lasting four and a half bars with a connecting half bar. The main subject starts with a head-motif which is curtailed by descending sequential arpeggiated figures. There is also a simultaneous countersubject in response to the new fugal entries. After the entries by the two higher voices, there is an episode in bars 11–14 as a codetta, heralding the first entry of the lower manual part. There is a similar six and a half |
