 * ✅Joshua Reynolds Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792), portrait painter; born at Plympton-Earl's in Devonshire; son of the Rev. Samuel Reynold?, master of the Plympton-Earl's grammar school; showed an early talent for portraiture, and was apprenticed to Thomas Hudson (1701-1779); between 1743 and 1749 painted portraits at London and Plymouth; taken by Commodore Keppel to the Mediterranean, 1749; spent three years in study in Italy, and returned to London, where he soon put all rivals at a distance, and in 1759 had 156 sitters; his art between 1753 :iiul 1760 represented in the National Gallery by the Lord Ligonier on horseback and the portrait of Anne, countess of Albemarle; made an income of about 6,000. a year, which he spent largely in buying pictures: was by 1760 intimately acquainted with Garrick, Goldsmith, and Johnson; removed, 1760, from Great Newport Street to Leicester Fields, where he lived till his death; mainly identified, as regards his profession of portrait-painter, with the whig party, to which his early patrons had belonged; founded the Literary Club, 1764, to give, as he said, Dr. Johnson unlimited opportunities of talking; selected as president of the Royal Academy on its foundation in 1768; knighted, 1769; immediately took the most active part in organising the Academy and its schools; subsequently devoted more of his time to pictures of the imagination, the number of his sitters having decreased; hon. D.O.L. Oxford, 1773; selected mayor of Plymouth, 1773; compelled to cease painting by the partial failure of his- eyesight, 1790; buried in the crypt of St. Paul's Cathedral. He was the greatest portrait-painter that England has produced, and is ranked by Ruskin as one of the seven supreme colourists. His literary works consist mainly of his Discourses which probably received some polish from Johnson, Burke, Malone, and others, before they were published, but were essentially his own both in style and thought.

Henry II. 1173-4, but was forced to submit, and afterwards occupied himself in reducing the local magnates of Aquitaine: completely established the ducal authority, but on becoming (1183) heir to the English tlirone on tl* death of bis elder brother Henry, was called upon by his father to give up Aquitaine to his brother John; compromised tbe, matter by a nominal surrender to Eleanor in 1186; snsI pecting that his father intended to disinherit him, allied, himself with the French king, Philip Augustus, against his father, 1188; succeeded to the English throne, 1189: immediately began his preparations for the third crusade, having already (1187) taken tbe eras; added to his inherited wealth, which was Insufficient, by tbe sale of crown domains and rights; joined Philip Augusts at Medina, 1190, when he compelled Taucred, the Sicilian king, to pay him forty thousand ounces of gold; arrived at Cyprtw, 1191, and, the pseudo-emperor, Isaac Comneuus, having refused to recompense some pilgrims he had plundered, proceeded to conquer the island anil to a'M ittreasures to his hoard: reached Acre, June 1191, which surrendered on 12 July: advanced on Ascalon, August 1191, iiiiving already returned to France: defeated Saladiu near Arsuf, and towards the end of December 1191 was at Beit-Nuba, onl twelve miles off Jerusalem, but judged it too late in the year to attempt the siege; retired to Ascalon, which he fortified; again reached Beit-Nuba, only again to retire, June 1192, and in July relieved Jaffa and defeated Saladin under its walls; accepted, since troubles in England rendered his return imperative, a three yearstruce, by which the crusaders were allowed to visit Jerusalem; set sail for England in October of the same year: while attempting to travel through Germany in disguise was arrested near Vienna and imprisoned at Durrensteiu; handed over by the Duke of Austria to the Emperor Henry VI, and was compelled to pay a ransom of a hundred and fifty thousand marks, besides doing homage for England; set free, March 1194, hU arrival in England at once frustrating the attempt of his brother John to usurp bis authority; intended to return to the East, but found himself unable to depart owing to the alliance of John and Philip Augustus; left England for the last time.

 * ✅Richard II of England Richard II (1367–1400), 'of Bordeaux'; king of England; younger son of Edward, Prince of Wales; born at Bordeaux, 6 Jan. 1367; created Prince of Wales, 1376; succeeded Edward III, June 1377, but the actual control of government was at first seized by parliament and afterwards passed to Lancaster; met at Smithfleld the peasant insurgents who, led by Wat Tyler, hud risen in revolt (1381) against the attempt to levy a tax of a shilling a head on every person over fifteen, and after the death of their leader succeeded in pacifying them; granted them charters of freedom, but when the revolt was at an end revoked these concessions; proclaimed a general pardon, December 1381, after the execution of the leaders; married, January 1382, Anne, sister of Weuceslaus, king of Bohemia; on the attainment of bis majority found parliament (1382) reluctant to surrender the strict control which it had exercised over the crown during the minority; appointed Michael de la Pole (1330 ?-1389) chancellor without reference to parliament, 1383; showed signs of a disposition to oppose Lancaster; accepted Lancaster's explanation when the old charges of treason against him were revived, 1384; created his uncles, Edmund and Thomas, dukes of York and Gloucester, in the hope of playing them off against Lancaster; got rid of Lancaster by allowing him to go on his long-delayed expedition to Spain, by which, however, the leadership of the magnates was left to Gloucester, a more dangerous person; provoked the nobles by his determination to rule through the upstart Pole, now earl of Suffolk, as chancellor, and Robert de Vere, created duke of Ireland; compelled by Gloucester (1386) to agree to a commission of eleven magnates, with extensive powers for the reform of the household and realm, but (August 1387) obtained an opinion from the judges that the commission was unlawful; his power overthrown by the magnates, headed by Gloucester, December 1387; his adherents proscribed and executed by the merciless parliament; regained the ascendency (May 1389), dismissed the counsellors imposed on him, and replaced them by others of his own choice: subsequently pursued a policy of conciliation, but lost popularity after Queen Anne death (1394) by his marriage (November 1396) with Isabella, daughter of Charles VI of France; the feeling against him fanned by Gloucester; resolved on coup rfVvor, perhaps fearing a repetition of the proceedings of 1388; got the three leaders, Gloucester, Arundel, and Warwick, into his power, July 1397summoned parliament, September 1897, and had these three lords condemned to death as traitors, the upshot being that Arundel was beheaded and Gloucester died in custody at Calais under suspicious circumstances, while Warwick alone obtained pardon; at Shrewsbury had the acts of themercilessparliament annulled i and restitution ordered to the heirs of its victims; was again involved in difficulties by the action of Henry of Lancaster, duke of Hereford, in accusing the Duke of Norfolk of treasonable designs, with reference to which it was arranged that they should settle their quarrel by single combat; forbade the combat on the day appointed for the battle, and sentenced Hereford to ten years banishment and Norfolk to perpetual exile; from this time exercised the royal authority with great arbitrariness, exacting heavy fines and contributions from his subjects; deprived the exiled Hereford of his succession on the death of the Duke of Lancaster in February 1399; went over to Ireland, April 1399, to avenge the death of the Earl of March; heard that in his absence the Duke of Hereford had landed in Yorkshire, and hurried back to Milford to meet him; found himself unable to raise a sufficient force, and after wandering about in North Wales surrendered to Hereford, August 1399; resigned the crown, September 1399, and was imprisoned finally at Pontefract; a rising in his favour set on foot, January 1400; died at Pontefract, probably by a violent death, 14 Feb. 1400. The belief that he had escaped from captivity, and was still alive in Scotland, was widely prevalent even so late as 1417, but has little probability.

His nickname Crouchback had its rise in a real, though probably slight, bodily deformity.

 * Robert, Duke of Normandy Robert, Duke of Normandy (1054? –1134), eldest son of William I; received the investiture of Maine, 1069, but was unable to prevail on his father to Rive him actual possession of the county: rebelled, 1077, and (1079) accidentally wounded his father at Gerberoi; subsequently made his submission and was recognised as heir of Normandy, which he inherited on   William I's death in 1087; having emptied his treasury, sold the Cotentin to his brother Henry, 1088; his duchy of Normandy invaded by his brother, William II, 1089; caine to an agreement with William 11, loal, and with him drove Henry out of the Cotentin; shared his possessions; took the cross and pledged his duchy to William II for five years for the sum of ten thousand marks, 1096: set out in October, and after joining the other crusaders reached Constantinople early in the summer of 1097; distinguished himself by his valour at Dorylaeum, and in the march to Autioch led the advanced guard; by his prowess enabled the crusaders to defeut Corbogha in a great battle under the walls of Antioch, June 1098; refused the sovereignty of Jerusalem, and in the autumn left Palestine; did not, however, reach Normandy till September 1100, and thus lost his opportunity of the English succession on the death of William II, but was freed by that event from the necessity of redeeming Normandy from pledge: urged by Ranuulf Flauibard, invaded England, July 1101, but made a treaty with Henry I; ceded the county of Evreux to Henry 1, 1104; hia duchy of Normandy invaded by Henry I, who was indignant at his misgoyermnent of it, 1105; defeated by Henry I and taken prisoner at the battle of Tinchebrai, 1106; passed the rest of his life in confinement in England; was probably well treated, the statement that he was blinded after being detected in plotting treason being unsupported by adequate authority,
