Ghosts/Hauntings & The Paranormal When dealing with ghosts don't look for any rules or absolutes. There are circumstances that seem to create a more ghostly atmosphere, but there are no guarantees on predicting when and where a ghost will appear. A ghost may appear once in a thousand years or once every Friday. It could haunt a house or dwell in a small spot in an open field. Ye can ne'er tell where ya mightz finds them.

Clans The difference between clans, families and septs is the source of many questions as is the question phrased in one way or another, which asks, "to which clan do I belong". There are many definitions of clans and families as there are people, but this article will try to indicate how these matters are viewed in the Lyon Court. A clan or family is a ''noble incorporation" because it has an officially recognised chief or head who being a nobleman of Scotland confers his noble status on the clan or family, thus making it a legally and statutorily recognised noble corporation often called "the Honourable Clan."	49	95	Re: Clan MacInnes MsPiggy04 01/21/2010 01:10:53
The Irish Forum Celtic tribes settled on the island from 600-150 B.C. Invasions by Norsemen that began in the late 8th century were finally ended when King Brian BORU defeated the Danes in 1014. English invasions began in the 12th century and set off more than seven centuries of Anglo-Irish struggle marked by fierce rebellions and harsh repressions.	62	103	Re: The Desmond Wars Wyrd Syster 09/14/2009 12:15:41

Knighthood and Chivalry During the Middle Ages there were many different social classes. There were peasants, slave-like serfs, knights, and royalty. Though all of these classes were important to medieval life, knights were the most well known of these classes.

Castles Most of the fortifications that we consider as 'proper' castles were built during the Middle Ages (c.1000-1500). Unlike most other buildings, such as a church, a house or an inn, they served more than one purpose. A castle was a home for its owner and family, a place where guests could be entertained and often the local centre for administration and justice, but it was also built strong enough to defend its occupants while acting as a base from which attacks on neighbours or more distant enemies could be launched. Later buildings, which are often still referred to as a castle or have the word castle in their name, served only a single purpose, as forts built purely for defense or stately homes built solely as a residence.~~Angus~~	319	536	Re: THE HISTORY O...

Medieval Society We tend to think of society in terms of hierarchy. We speak about ladders and moving up and down a rung, or we draw pyramids with upper class, middle class and lower class. And we generally define status in terms of money. There are exceptions. Certain professions carry some faint echoes of prestige regardless of income: a minister, for example, or a teacher. So come on in and lets explore this together. ~~Angus~~	13	39	Re: Sleep in the ... Wyrd Syster 10/26/2009 15:39:32
The Renaissance "Renaissance," French for "rebirth," perfectly describes the intellectual and economic changes that occurred in Europe from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries. During the era known by this name, Europe emerged from the economic stagnation of the Middle Ages and experienced a time of financial growth. Also, and perhaps most importantly, the Renaissance was an age in which artistic, social, scientific, and political thought turned in new directions. Join us as we explore the Renaissance and discover the forces that drove this rebirth in Europe, and in Italy in particular.~~Angus~~	57	71	Re: Titles and Fo... Ldy Colleen 09/06/2009 21:48:56

The Celts and Celtic Culture The Celts were a group of peoples that occupied lands stretching from the British Isles to Gallatia. The Celts had many dealings with other cultures that bordered the lands occupied by these peoples, and even though there is no written record of the Celts stemming from their own documents, we can piece together a fair picture of them from archeological evidence as well as historical accounts from other cultures. Join our exploration of the Celts and their way of life. ~~Angus~~	36	96	Re: New Artist Merlyn 10/15/2009 18:56:37

The Land of the Alamo Texas is a state in the South and Southwest regions of the United States. It joined the United States in 1845 as the 28th state, after nine years of self governing. The state name derives from a word in a Caddoan language of the Hasinai, tá¹³haʔ (or tejas, as the Spaniards spelled it), meaning friends or allies. Spanish explorers mistakenly applied the word to the people and their location.	33	64	Re: Photo at the ... Wyrd Syster 06/30/2009 11:56:47
