Kimono

It is a simplified version of furisode and tomesode.

Question: Where did Geisha's clothing style come from?

Kimono

The tsukesage with a coat of arms also goes on formal occasions.


Question: Where did Geisha's clothing style come from?

Kimono

It can be difficult to distinguish whether a kimono is a hōmongi or a tsukesage.


Question: Where did Geisha's clothing style come from?

Kimono

The difference is that the pattern of a hōmong is designed on a cut and pre-cut kimono, while the pattern of tsukesage is coloured before the fabric is cut.


Question: Where did Geisha's clothing style come from?

Kimono

Tsukesage is particularly a popular type of kimono, as it is well suited for a wide range of occasions depending on the type of obi it is combined with, thus replacing the wider collection of kimonos [Dalby, Kimono 5].

Question: Where did Geisha's clothing style come from?

Kimono

The pattern of the Edo comon can only be distinguished at close range, and it is therefore placed on the solemnity and formality scales right in the middle of the komon and monochrome iro-muji.

Kimono

Same-komon is a type of edo-comon with only small, white dots as patterns.

Soon he became the best in his class.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[5] [6] In school, Isaac liked most about studying alone and constructing mechanical objects.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He built windmills, water clocks and sundials, among other things.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He is also alleged to have invented a four-wheeled carriage driven by a rider.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton's stepfather died aged 71 in 1653, and his mother moved in 1656 back to Woolsthorpe.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Isaac lived in an extended family which included not only him and his mother but also his grandmother, half-brother Benjamin, and half-sisters Mary and Hannah.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He had no other brothers or siblings.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[7] Isaac's mother had moved back because she hoped that the boy would become a farmer and a continuator of the family farm, and therefore took her son out of school.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

However, Isaac had no farming skills whatsoever and did not even want to learn them.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

According to one story, he was hiding out studying when he should have been in Grantham market selling the farm's produce.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[8] Isaac's uncle decided to take the reins and ordered the boy back to school so that he could prepare for university.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] Now the headmaster of Grantham Grammar School, Henry Stokes, agreed to take the boy to live with him at no charge.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[5] Newton began studying again in the autumn of 1660, mainly for admission to Trinity College.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Years of study and work at Cambridge In 1661, Newton began studies at Trinity College, Cambridge.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He soon began to be influenced by older scholars who had noticed his talent and encouraged him in his studies.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The most important of these were university teachers Henry More and Isaac Barrow.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Both were natural philosophers but additionally engaged in alchemy, and this interest they instilled in Newton as well.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Theologian and mathematician Isaac Barrow's influence on Newton is thought to have been highly significant.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

At that time, the teaching of the school was primarily based on the writings of Aristotle, but by the third semester the studies were already freer and Newton was able to read modern thinkers such as Descartes, Pierre Gassend, Galileo Galiles, Nikolaus Copernicu, Johannes Kepler, and especially Robert Boyle.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] According to Abraham de Moivre, Newton's interest in mathematics was awakened in the autumn of 1663, [3] when he bought a book on astrology at a fair in Cambridge.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] He soon found that he didn't understand the mathematics used in it at all, so he had to learn more of it.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

While trying to read a book on trigonometry, he soon found that his expertise in geometry was also poor.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He decided to start studying geometry by reading a work translated by Barrow into Eucliide's Beginners.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] After reading the Beginners, which he had little to finish reading, he continued to study with William Oughtred's Clavis Mathematica and went on to Descartes's La Géométrie and many other works by famous mathematicians.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] In 1665 he developed a theorem later named Newton's binomial formula, and later began to study the mathematics that led to differential calculus.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton graduated from university the same year, but the university soon closed because the bubonic plague that raged in London had also spread to Cambridge.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton returned to his home Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, where for two years he worked on optics, mechanics, gravity and differential calculus.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

When Trinity College again resumed operation in 1667, Newton was elected to the faculty.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[9] Two years later, shortly before he reached the age of 27, he was chosen to succeed Barrow as Lucas Professor.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Mostly Newton lectured on his research topics, mathematics, optics, and mechanics.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Most of his time he spent on scientific research.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He had quite a few pupils and did not teach much.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[9] Newton's lectures did not arouse interest because he is said to have lectured very difficult.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

London and the Royal Society Newton was admitted in 1672 as a member of the Royal Society, and at the same time he exhibited the mirror telescope he had developed.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In the same year Newton published his first scholarly article, dealing with light and colour, in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Society series.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[10] The ideas put forward by Newton were also opposed.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Robert Hooke and Christiaan Huygens criticized the fact that Newton sought to show light to be the motion of small particles.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] The intervals between Hooke and Newton deteriorated markedly in 1675 when Hooke claimed Newton had stolen from him some optics-related results.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] Based on the letters, the scientists agreed their dispute, but Newton distanced himself from the Royal Society because Hooke was one of the leaders of the Society.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton published a work on optics in Opticks (1704) only after Hooke's death.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He also engaged in heated correspondence with the English Jesuits about his theory of light.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

This correspondence led to Newton's mental fatigue and severe emotional crisis in 1678.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] The following year, his mother died, after which he interacted with other people as little as possible.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] [11] After nine years, he published his main work, Principia.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton experienced the next collapse in 1693.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

After this, he was sidelined from active research work.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Several alternative causes have been suggested for the collapse: Newton had been poisoned as a result of alchemistic experiments, he was frustrated with his own investigations, his friendship with Swiss-born Fatio de Duillier had ended, and he suffered from religious problems.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton himself blamed low sleep, but that was perhaps a symptom of the problem rather than the cause.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[3] Newton suffered from mental health problems throughout his life.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Several of Newton's texts were destroyed in a fire in his laboratory in 1693.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

According to the story, the fire was caused by Newton's dog Diamond, who jumped on a table and knocked over a candle, resulting in 20 years of work being destroyed.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[12] After the incident, Newton is reported to have said to his dog, “Oh Diamond, Diamond.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Whatever damage you little one did.” Historians, however, are not entirely sure even whether Newton ever had a dog.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton was a Member of the Parliament of England representing Cambridge University from 1689 to 1690 and 1701 to 1702.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The only noteworthy comment Newton uttered in the House plenary session was a proposal to close the window to prevent a bet.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[13] [14] In 1696 Newton moved to work for the Royal Mint, where a major monetary reform was underway, and in 1699 he became director of the mint.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

As head of the mint, Newton also became very rich.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In 1701 he retired from his duties at Cambridge.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

After two years he became president of the Royal Society, and was re-elected every year right up until his death.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

As president of the Royal Society, Newton led the science of England.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Because of his position, he got into quarrels with the royal astronomer John Flamsteed.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In 1705, Isaac Newton was knighted by Queen Anna of England.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton was the first scientist to be knighted.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton, though, was not notified for his work in science or at the mint.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[15] Newton's last years were heavy.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

A dispute erupted between him and Leibniz over which one was the first to come up with differential calculus.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton worked on calculus much earlier but, as usual, published the results in the late s.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Leibniz, meanwhile, had already had time to publish his own research.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Today, credit for inventing a method of calculation is given to both.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton was highly regarded, although he also received criticism.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

On 27 May 1722, Newton moved to Kensington, south London, due to a lung infection.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[16] He died at the age of 83 in Kensington on 20 March 1727, and was buried with the greatest festivities in Westminster Abbey cemetery.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Voltaire was present at Newton's funeral, and according to him, the funeral was like that of a king who had done his job well.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[6] Newton never married, and had no children.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Admittedly, she was once engaged, but the engagement did not result in marriage.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[17] Newton's character Newton was by nature reclusive and serious.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He also had a temper, something he himself was aware of and sought to avoid public controversy.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[18] According to some accounts, he laughed only once during his entire life, [19] so in his case the name was not an omen: Isaac namely comes from a Hebrew word meaning “He who laughs”.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton's circle of friends was quite small, and he didn't talk about his feelings to anyone.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton was already regarded during his lifetime as someone capable of understanding truths hidden from others, and he made no effort to reduce the worship imposed upon himself.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Based on modern studies, it has been estimated that Newton suffered from Asperger's syndrome.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[20] Newton was also very religious, for which reason he was reluctant to publish his studies, such as Principia.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

It is thought that Newton regarded his studies as secrets between himself and God that only the “chosen ones” would be able to unravel.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He believed that studies could eventually be used to obtain clarity about God's ultimate thoughts.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He also jealously wished to guard the results of his studies so they would not fall into the attention of the wrong people, and therefore he published his studies only after other researchers had reached his heels.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

This led to many quarrels with other scientists, the most famous of which was Leibniz.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[21] Newton was an Areioan in religious orientation, meaning he did not believe in the Trinity of God.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

His convictions he kept secret, for at that time those who opposed the doctrine of the Trinity were persecuted.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Since Newton's starting point was early Christian principles, he regarded the Catholic Church as a beast of Revelation.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[21] Scientific Career Mathematics Newton himself has reported that he did his most important mathematical work in 1665—1667.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The basic theme of Newton's mathematics was the development of variable large calkyles into a computationally usable outfit, and using this calkyl to conceptually and computationally control motion problems.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[22] Newton developed the theory of systematic sets, related to the work of John Wallis and William Brouncker, among others.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The inscription De analysi per aequationes number terminorum infinitas, completed in 1669, was not published until 1711.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The theory of infinite sets first appears in writing as an independent subdivision with its own methods.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Another mathematical writing by Newton was De methodis serierum et fluxionum, published after Newton's death in 1736 as an English translation of On the Methods of Series and Fluxions.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[22] Newton's mathematical works marked the unification of tangent ordinance and area calculation methods developed by many 17th-century mathematicians such as Pierre de Fermat, Francesco Cavalier and Blaise Pascal into calcyles.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Regardless of Newton, Gottfried Leibniz also developed a calkyl of similar nature, known today as differential and integral calculus.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The development of these was essential to the genesis of modern mathematical analysis and physics.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[22] According to Newton's inner circle, Newton had been working on his method for years before Leibniz.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

On the other hand, it has been suspected that Newton may have plagiarized Leibniz's work, but Leibniz is not believed to have plagiarized Newton.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[23] According to another theory, Jean Bernoulli had given both Newton and Leibniz two mathematical problems to solve.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton solved them faster and thus proved that he invented calculus himself.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[24] However, Newton did not publish any work suggesting the invention of a new method of calculation until 1693.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Leibniz, on the other hand, had already published works based on his own methods nine years earlier.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

This led to a nasty feud between Leibniz and Newton.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton also studied algebra and apparently lectured on it at Cambridge in 1673—1684.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton's textbook published in 1707, Arithmetica universalis, deals with classical equation theory.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton named the “time derivatives” of his fluents, i.e., functions x and y as fluxes.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

To denote fluxes, he used the notations x {\ displaystyle {\ dot {x}} and y {\ displaystyle {\ dot {y}}}.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Fluents he marked using apostrophes: x ′ {\ displaystyle x'} and y ′ {\ displaystyle y'}.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The method of notation of fluxes was still used in mathematics in England in the 20th century, and in mechanics they are commonly still used today.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[23] Optics The earliest Newtonian studies in physics were directed at optics.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He found that to eliminate color aberration, the telescope lens would have to be replaced with a mirror.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Admittedly, James Gregory had introduced the principle of a telescope consisting of two mirrors before, but he failed to produce good enough mirrors.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton built the first mirror telescope in 1668, and an improved piece he presented to the Royal Society in 1671.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton spent about ten years developing the mirror telescope, but due to his poor eyesight he never used the telescope for astronomical observations.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[25] From Isaac Barrow, Newton received an impetus for studies on the doctrine of colour.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In 1664—1666, Newton authored a treatise on the New Theory about Light and Colors.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

His basic idea was that white light consists of rays of different colors that bend in a prism differently, and as a result light disintegrates into the spectrum.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The theory was opposed because, according to the then conception, white light was the base of all different coloured rays and not the sum of them.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[26] In accordance with his particle philosophy, Newton considered light to be composed of particles.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

On the other hand, he studied a lot of phenomena, such as the interference of light, that could not be explained by particles.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[26] In 1678, Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens proved light to be wave motion.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The ideas of Newton and Huygens were clearly at odds, and the competition for the superiority of theories still lasted until the early 1850s.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton's theory was considered weaker than Huygens's, but Newton's achievements in mechanics were so convincing that his theories dealing with optics were not dared to be challenged.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[24] Later it was possible to demonstrate that light has both particle and wave nature.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton's main work on optics is Opticks, published in 1704, which he sketched for a very long time.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

On 5 July 1687 Newton published his main work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In the work, Newton discusses general dynamics and gravitational theory, as well as their applications to celestial bodies.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The three axioms presented in Principia are known today as the fundamental laws of mechanics.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

As early as 1666, Newton was familiar with Kepler's laws and concluded that it follows from Kepler's Third Law that the Sun is drawn to planets by a force whose magnitude is inversely proportional to the square of the planets' distances.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The observations of many other scientists, including Giovanni Alfonso Borelli, Christopher Wren, Edmund Halley and Robert Hooke, were consistent with this.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[26] According to Newton's first law, that is, the law of continuity, a piece that is not affected by an external force or the sum of the acting forces is zero remains at rest, or continues its motion in a straightforward manner at an invariant velocity.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The idea was different from its time, as the prevailing idea was that force was always needed for movement.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Galilei knew even before Newton that power was only needed to alter the business state, but Newton elaborated on this in his first and second laws.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton's second law, the fundamental law of dynamics, has been accustomed to seeing in scalar form: F=ma.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

However, Newton presented the law verbally, and precisely it can be stated by modern mathematical notations: F → = d (m v →) d t {\ displaystyle {\ vec {F}} = {\ mathrm {d} (m {\ vec {v}})\ over\ mathrm {d} t}}.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton thus presented the force affecting the song through momentum and time change.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton's second law also contains the first law.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

If the sum of the forces acting on the piece is zero, the acceleration is also zero.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Since acceleration means a change in velocity, speed does not change with acceleration zero.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In the Third Act, Newton defines that forces are never alone, but manifest themselves in pairs.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

This means that if song A acts on song B with a certain force, track B acts on song A with an equal but opposite-character force.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The law is often referred to as the Law of Force and Opposition.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Today, this is called interaction.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In fact, the whole idea of the theory of gravity had come from Hooke.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Hooke and Newton were in correspondence, and in one letter Hooke presents the hypothesis that the Sun is attracted to planets by a force inversely proportional to the square of the distance.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In Hooke's view, this caused the planets' elliptical track.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton mentions in his response that he's never heard of such an idea.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Soon, however, he began working on the problem, and after a short time he was able to prove that the elliptical track could be due to the attraction of the Sun.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He began to regard Hooke as his rival but didn't think Hooke's mathematical skills were good enough for him to prove his hypothesis.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton didn't want to tell anyone about the testimony he found, especially Hooke.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Around the same time, British astronomer Edmond Halley began studying old markings on comets, and in 1682 he observed a bright comet.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Halley compiled the information he had gathered, and when Newton heard about it, he asked for copies of them.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

A few years later, Hooke claimed to Halley that he had evidence to support his hypothesis.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

(Nowadays, it's believed he didn't really have them.)


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Halley saw this as a challenge.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Soon, however, he realised he would need Newton's help, and began to visit Newton regularly.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

During the visits, Newton presented his testimony as well as other studies.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Halley understood the testimony to be a real gold mine and demanded Newton publish the results.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton was reluctant, but Halley did not give up, and eventually Newton published his thoughts in Principia.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[27] Prior to the Principia work, Newton published a pamphlet of his main work entitled De motu, which was completed in 1684.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton's basic idea was that all bodies are attracted to each other and the motion of celestial bodies occurs under this force according to the fundamental laws of mechanics.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton also understood that phenomena occurring on Earth are caused by the same phenomenon as the motion of the Moon around Earth.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newtonian mechanics is characterized by the perception of absolute time and space.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Natural Philosophy In Newton's philosophy of nature, it was central to the fact that all observed phenomena were the result of forces acting on particles, that is, atoms.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Unable to explain the ultimate essence of these forces through the then Descartesian mechanistic natural philosophy, Newton left this question completely open.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

These questions have a direct connection to Newton's theological speculations.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In his opinion, a universe functioning according to the law of gravitation and the laws of mechanics would be impossible if not maintained by God, who can, if necessary, interfere with the workings of the universe.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[28] The influence on the Enlightenment period as the basis for Newton's scientific studies was the natural science method.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Using induction inference based on experimental research, Newton created a quantitative mathematical theory to derive simple basic hypotheses from measurement results as well as predicting new phenomena.


Question: What kind of ground invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The same principle had been used by Galileo Galilei in his studies earlier.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton's guideline was Hypotheses non fingo, “I make no hypotheses”.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

This effectively means that his views were based on experimental results and only on them.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The method used by Newton and Galilei has subsequently changed the world both worldview and materially.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Later, as president of the Royal Society, he wrote that the fundamental principles of the natural sciences are “the discovery of the frameworks and activities of nature, its reduction to general rules and laws, the experimental verification of those rules, and thus the derivation of causes and effects.”


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The natural science method became one of the most central tenets of the Enlightenment period.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[29] Occult Studies Newton began the study of alchemy at a young age and dabbled in it for about 30 years.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He authored several manuscripts but published only one small treatise, De natura acidorum (1704).


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In it, he explains how acid particles and iron particles are attracted to each other, thereby causing iron to dissolve in acid.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton was a staunch proponent of the atomic doctrine developed by Robert Boyle and interpreted chemistry accordingly.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The practice of alchemy was illegal during Newton's lifetime, and upon Newton's death his studies on alchemy were stamped with the text: “Not worthy for publication.” For this reason, Newton's works of alchemy were silent for a very long time and wanted to be kept secret.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[30] Furthermore, it was thought that Newton's academic reputation would have been corrupted if such intimidation had been exposed.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[31] Newton's occult tinkerings, though, may have been essential to the law of gravity and other Newtonian insights.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The physics of Newton's time leaned on the idea of the world as a realm of colliding particles, while the far effect was an unknown concept.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In occult works there were mentions of mystical attractions between songs, reflections on the extremely small and large, and more, perhaps giving rise to reflections on concepts outside the church and the Aristotelian system.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Subsequent research has shown that Newton was initially interested in alchemy.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

He copied alchemist works and made an immense amount of notes and experiments himself.

Isaac Newton

Newton, in fact, believed that he was capable of achieving the end of alchemy, namely, to manufacture gold from any substance.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

It is estimated that Newton wrote about alchemy and its research about a million words, the equivalent of 4000—5000 typewritten sheets of paper.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton also worked on a chemical directory, Index chemicus, for nearly ten years.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The purpose of the directory was to parse alchemist literature read by Newton.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

When the first directory became disproportionately extensive and cumbersome to use, he started working on a new one.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In the end, the directory contained more than a hundred pages of concise writing and 5000 references to nearly 150 works.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton relied on Filalethes, Sędziwój, D'Espagnet and Michael Maier in his writings.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[32] Newton's studies of alchemy lasted throughout his prime years of manhood.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

When he was appointed in 1669 Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, he was the first to travel to London, purchasing chemicals, two furnaces, glass vessels, and a basic work of alchemy, the Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

After that, he began his practical experiments.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton built a laboratory in the courtyard of his apartment at Trinity College, where he conducted painstaking experiments for nearly 20 years.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[32] Newton gave up the study of alchemy in the mid-1690s.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The definite reason for this is not known, but the discontinuation may have been due to poor success in studies.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton also believed the nervous breakdown of 1693 was caused by chemicals he used in experiments, which, based on new research, may hold true.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

One sample taken from Newton's hair had nearly 40 times the amount of mercury compared to ordinary.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[33] A move to London in 1696 and appointment as director of the English Mint sealed the end of Newton's studies of alchemy, as he was forced to work on more practical matters.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[19] Apocalypse, the year 2060 from a note written by Newton himself in the National and University Library in Jerusalem, shows that Newton predicted the second coming of Jesus would come in 2060 or shortly thereafter.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Using the Book of Daniel, Newton concluded that after 1260 years of the establishment of the Holy German-Roman Empire, the Catholic Church would collapse, and shortly thereafter Jesus would return to earth and establish a thousand-year kingdom.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

In 2003, stories spread across the media of different countries reporting that Newton predicted the apocalypse would come in 2060.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton himself did not bring his prophecy into the public domain at the time and was suspicious about the publication of prophecies counted by men, because man is fallible, and if the prophecy were not correct, the accuracy of the Bible might be questioned.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The purpose of Newton's calculation was to cast hope and to show that there would be several more centuries before Jesus' second coming and it would not yet come in his day.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[34] The Story of the Falling Apple Isaac Newton is believed to have invented the law of gravity in the summer of 1666 when he saw an apple fall from a tree growing in his birthplace.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

There is historical evidence for this story.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[35] Several of the first authors of Isaac Newton biographies, including William Stukeley and David Brewster, mention the apple as having influenced Newton's ideas about gravity.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

There are different versions of the story that differ only slightly from each other.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Newton did not tell the story until his later years of life to his four close friends Catherine Barton, Martin Folkes, John Conduitt and William Stukeley.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Although it had been a long time since the event, there is no reason to doubt that Newton has remembered it accurately enough.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

One has wondered, however, why he didn't come clean sooner.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[35] The story is first told in Voltaire's essay Essay on the Civil War in France published in 1727.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Voltaire cites Newton as having been inspired when he walked in his garden and saw a falling apple.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Voltaire had received his information from Catherine Barton, daughter of Newton's half-sister (or half-brother).


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Barton had close ties to Newton, and furthermore her husband John Conduitt was a member of the Royal Society and a friend of Newton.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

However, full certainty can never be reached as to the accuracy of Voltaire's story.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

The story is also sometimes told so that an apple falls on Newton's head.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

This version was invented by English writer Isaac D'Israel.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

David Brewster said the tree from which the apple is thought to have fallen had broken down badly by the time it entered the 19th century.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Around 1820, the tree fell down in a storm, although there had been earlier attempts to rehabilitate it.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

[35] Parts of wood were recovered, and today they are preserved with great care.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

Edward Turnor, the owner of the estate, documented the apple tree very accurately.


Question: What land invention is the kite?

Isaac Newton

According to him, slightly pear-shaped apples grew on the apple tree and their taste was very peculiar.

Godwin (earl)

He held the position during the time of Knuut the Great (1017—1035) and his three successors.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[1] He became the principal advisor and military support of every king he served.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[2] According to historian David Howarth, Godwin was an English genius of his time [3] and has been characterised as the most influential person in 10th-century England.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[4] His sons Svein, Tostig, Leofric and Gyrth became earls, Harald king and daughter Edith the wife of King Edward the Confessor and Queen of England.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[5] [6] Godwin's wife Gytha was the sister of Earl Ulf and the aunt of Sven Estrid son, king of Denmark.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[7] [8] Because of the concentration of power, he can be called a kingmaker with good reason.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[4] [9] Under Edward the Confessor (1042—1066), Godwin struggled to contain the growing Normandy influence.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[10] When Godwin went into exile briefly in the 1050s, the Normans became heavily involved in the affairs of the country [11] and Duke William of Normandy even visited England.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[12] However, Godwin returned and drove the king's Normandy advisers out of the country.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[13] Subsequently, the king ruled in name only.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[14] Victory was short-lived, for under Godwin's son Harald, William of Normandy invaded the country [15] and conquered it after the Battle of Hastings.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[16] Godwin's background No records have been found regarding Godwin's date or place of birth.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

There are at least five different versions of Godwin's ancestry.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

According to the first, the Icelandic Knytlinge saga written in the 1250s, as Knuut the Great was taking over the land, Earl Ulf, the king's Danish brother-in-law, got lost, but was guided back to his ship by a handsome, word-ready youngster who was rounding up his cattle.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Ulf liked the young man and married him his sister.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[17] However, according to DeVries, the narrative is not considered reliable, and most current historians of that era question the narrative.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[18] Another hypothesis relies on the Anglo-Saxon chronicle that Godwin's father's name was Wulfnoth.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Whether it is a man known as Wulfnoth Cild is unclear.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[19] He is known for his rebellion against King Ethelred the Counselless in 1009, [20] and although Wulfnoth's rebellion predated Knut's coming to power and was directed at his opponent, according to DeVries, it seems somewhat illogical that Knuut should have appointed the rebelliant's son as his main earl: Knuut valued loyalty and is known to have killed all those who rebelled against King Ethelred, although Ethelred's death opened up the possibility for him to rise to English monarch.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[21] According to the third hypothesis, Godwin was a member of the old kinghouse.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Contact with the King House is defended by a will of Æthelstan, the eldest son of King Ethelred dated 1014, where “Wulfnoth's son Godwin” is given a holding at Compton.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

The later Domesday book (1086) mentions Godwin as having owned an estate at Compton in West Sussex, [19] and although the names “Wulfnoth” and “Godwin” were common in their time, gives land ownership an opportunity to be interpreted as Godwin's father Wulfnoth Cildin.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[22] Frank Barlow has interpreted a poem praising Godwin's return from exile in 1052, finding evidence in it of Godwin's belonging to the old king line.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

The anonymous author of the poem compares the relationship between Godwin and King Edward to that of David and King Saul (1.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Here, Barlow sees the poet making an explicit reference to Godwin's royal descent.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

He also sees references in Godwin's later life to the lives of David and Saul.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[23] According to the fourth hypothesis, Wulfnoth has been considered to be a minor nobleman from Sussex and a different person from the aforementioned Wulfnoth Cild.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

The fifth hypothesis is offered by Howarth that “whatever his descent was, Godwin must have gone to the trouble of keeping it secret.” [24] According to him, today no one knows where Godwin came from, and probably no one knew it in his day.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

He notes that English chroniclers are divisive about descent with each other and even those who praise him do not give a respectable family tree.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[25] [26] Godwin becomes the creditman of Knuut the Great during the time of King Ethelred the Counselor of England the Vikings invaded the country, and in 1015 Knuut the Great, the son of Sven, king of Denmark, took over part of the land.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Shortly afterwards, Ethelred died, and Witenagemot (witan) convened at Southampton to elect a successor to the king.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Some were in favour of the king's son Edmund Ironflank, part of Knut.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

War between these two rivals divided the country, [27] until they reached an agreement whereby the land would be divided and the part of the kings who died in the first place would be inherited to the other.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Six months after the treaty, Edmund died, and Witan chose Knut as king of the entire country.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[28] At the same time, Knuut divorced his wife Aelgifus of Northampton and married Ethelred's widow Emma Normandy.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

With the marriage Emma became queen, and her own children from her earlier marriage to Ethelred she sent into exile in her birthland of Normandy.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[25] When Knut came to power in 1017 Godwin was one of his military leaders.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

In the same year Godwin signed a royal letter with the title dux, which at that time meant not political but military leader [21] Knut's documents contain sixteen witnesses using the dux title and only six of them had English names.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Godwin was only to thank Knut's indulgence for his position.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Of the earls, only Leofwine had been earl as early as Ethelred the Counselless, becoming, along with Godwin, the King's most influential advisor.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[29] [30] Knuut established his capital at Winchester, where he increasingly began to rely on Godwin's military and political prowess.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

1016 Upon King Edmund's death, the earl had quickly sworn his allegiance to the Anglo-Danish regime, and was rewarded by the king for both his loyalty and personal prowess.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Godwin regularly accompanied the King's army, and as Earl of Wessex he grew to be a leading warlord.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Godwin was admitted into the king's inner circle, and became a favourite of the king.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[31] During Knut's numerous foreign voyages, he also held the power of the viceroy.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[32] Early mentions of Godwin in texts dating to the time of Knuut the Great, three deal with Godwin's military prowess.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Vita Ædwardi Regis recounts Godwin following the English conquest to Denmark to defeat the rebellion: For this good, Knuut gave Godwin power, wealth and popularity.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[33] Another account of Godwin's military leadership is in Henry of Huntingdon's work Historia Anglorum (written around 1130).


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

It dates to the time when the Vendis invade the country: The third mention of Godwin's war-leadership is from William Malmesburyite's Gesta regum Anglorum, written around 1124, a description of Knut's attempt to conquer Sweden 1026—27: Although of the narratives the last two contain errors, rather than the Vendish the invasion of Denmark occurred at the time, [34] may assume the authors' assessment of Godwin's valor to be genuine.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

And although there is also no record of a Danish invasion of Sweden, there was military activity in Denmark 1022—23 and Norway 1025—27 or 1028—29, which events might be at the bottom of later written narratives.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[35] In addition to previous accounts, evidence of Godwin's war service and leader's abilities during Knut's time can be seen his membership in a group of elite huscarls soldiers.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

At a fairly early stage Godwin became a member of the group, possibly even a leader.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Huscarls soldiers who served as the king's bodyguards and soldiers” leaders formed the backbone of the English army.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

They also control witenagemot and membership in the corps may contribute to explaining Knut's popularity to Godwin.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[35] Rising to Earl of Wessex Appointment in 1020 By becoming king, Knuut had kept Wessex for himself and distributed the rest of the land to his earls.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[36] By 1018, Godwin had become a powerful man in the Kingdom of England.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[37] In 1019 Godwin married Gytha, the king's sister-in-law, and in 1020 he became Earl of Wessex, which had previously belonged to the king, the widest and richest part of the kingdom.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[38] These events show Knut's desire to bind Godwin to himself.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Vita Ædwardi Regis recounts: Of the actual land donations Godwin received, the only surviving evidence from Knut's reign is the King's Letter from 1031, when Godwin received lands in Winchester and Polham.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[39] Godwin gains more power and on Knut's death Godwin commanded the army of Knuut the Great in the king's absence, for example during his pilgrimages to Rome in 1027 and 1035, and during the king's visit to the German Emperor.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Vita Ædwardi Regis describes: Knuut began showing severe signs of illness in 1035 and set about organizing the succession of his vast kingdom.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

The eldest son Sven was to be given Norway, the next son Harald England, and Knut and Emma's only son Hardeknut Denmark.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

The oldest of the boys was already in Norway and the two younger were in England.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[40] Knuut died in 1035; however, he left no clear instructions on succession to power, and thus two men struggled for the English crown: one was Harald, the king's illegitimate son, and the other Hardeknut, son of Knight and Emma.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[41] Harald the Hare's paw's struggle for the crown in 1035 At the death of Knuut the Great, Hardeknut was in Denmark, which his father had given him even before his death.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

His half-brother Harald was in turn in England and thus received, practically by chance, the crown.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Harald gained support among the northern earls, while Godwin of Wessex supported Hardeknut, [41] whose mother Emma Normandy was in England defending her son Hardeknut's claims to the Crown.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[42] Having drifted to the brink of civil war, both sides tended to entrust the matter to the Witan, who was meeting at Oxford, to decide.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[43] For a while, the Kingdom of England had split between Harald to the north and Emma, together with Godwin, into the southern part ruled on behalf of Hardeknut.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[44] But gradually the whole kingdom passed under Harald's control, and Godwin was unable to prevent the event.

Godwin (earl)

[45] Godwin switches sides and becomes entangled in the murder of Alfred in 1036 Edward, Emma's son from an earlier marriage, gathered a small army and went ashore in 1036 at Southampton, whence continued on to Winchester to his mother.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[46] There is no information on the reasons for the return.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Edward and his brother Alfred had been living in exile in Normandy since 1013.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Perhaps the return was related to a desire to declare the claim of succession to the throne, as Vilhelm Poitierslainen claims.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[45] In the words of Wilhelm, “upon hearing of Knut's death, Edward immediately sailed with forty soldiers to Southampton, where he encountered an untold number of Englishmen ready for battle against him.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

He started fighting at the moment he stepped ashore and sent quite a number of them to their deaths.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

After winning, he and his men returned to the ships.” [47] Victory convinced Edward that the crown was not to be taken without a larger army.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

In the words of Guillaume Jumiègeslainen, “having seen this, he turned the ships and, with a great loot of plunder, sailed back to Normandy”.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[47] Edward's Normandy allies also caused opposition with their brutal behaviour.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[42] Despite Edward's ill-fated pursuit of the crown, his brother Alfred made an attempt to gain power.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

He left Rouen for Boulogne to meet Count Eustace for support.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Alfred assembled a small army and after crossing the Channel, he beached in Kent.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

The power-hitter headed towards Canterbury, where he met Godwin, who offered his help.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

The Earl of Wessex had secretly betrayed his allies and formed an alliance with King Harald.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Thus he took Alfred to Guildford, whence he and his troops were sent to King Harald.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[42] John Worcesterlaine narrates: Medieval sources divide into those who blame Godwin for Alfred's death (Anglo-Saxon chronicle C version, [48] Guillaume Jumiègeslaine and John Worcesterlaine) and those that King Harald was guilty (Encomium Emmae, Vita Ædwardi Regis and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle D version).


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

The E version of the Anglo-Saxon chronicle does not mention the whole incident.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[49] Historian Frank Barlow blames the boys' mother Emma for the incident.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

After seeing her son Hardeknut fail in her quest for the crown and Godwin switching sides, Emma began spreading the rumour that Harald was not Knut's son, but the servant who had reached the bed of Knut's first wife Ælgifu.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[47] According to J. C. Fuller, it appears that the order for Alfred to be blinded was given by King Harald rather than Earl Godwin.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[50] Whether Godwin was guilty or innocent of Alfred's death, the shadow of the event came to follow him and also his sons.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[51] Harald reigns over the whole country in 1037 Although the English favoured Hardeknut, remained this despite their repeated requests in Denmark, and the lords of the south began to move behind Harald.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

After Alfred's murder and Godwin's exchange of sides, support for Hardeknut also ceased among the southern earls, and Emma had to abandon her attempts to have her son king of England.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[52] Emma fled with her court to Flanders [53], and in 1037 Harald took Winchester.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[42] The Anglo-Saxon chronicle recounts how “Queen Ælfgifu (Emma) was driven without pity to face the raging winter, and she fled across the sea to Bruges, where Earl Balduin accommodated her”.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[54] Despite previous opposition from Harald, Godwin retained his position as earl as well as, according to Henri of Huntingdon, as the latter's leader in military affairs.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Having once acted to support Harald, Godwin remained loyal to him as well.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Harald ruled for four to five years, and Godwin never neglected his duties as earl.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[45] The time of the new king Hardeknut as king In 1039 Hardeknut became clear about his affairs in Denmark and sailed to Flanders in preparation for the invasion of England.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

It was here that his mother Emma's private fleet joined his forces.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

Before the war effort began, however, he was reached by the news of Harald's sudden death.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[55] With Harald's death, Hardeknut returned in 1040 without opposition to England.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[56] According to John Worcesterlainen, he crossed the Channel on sixty ships filled with Danish soldiers and “all received him with joy”, all except Godwin, who had sworn his allegiance to Harald and probably assumed the young king would rule for many more years period.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

[57] King's Wrath 1040: Godwin on trial for Alfred's death Godwin had reason to fear the new king, who turned first work against his political opponents: Hardeknut murdered the Earl of Northumbria and sacked the Bishop of Worcester.


Question: Are England and Ireland still on bad terms?

Godwin (earl)

His anger also turned to Godwin, towards whom (according to John Worcesterlainen) Hardeknutt was “burnt by great hatred”.
