• Slovakia before Austro-Hungarian Empire
    - May 15, 2024
    Before becoming part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the territory that is now Slovakia was historically part of various kingdoms and empires. Here's an overview of Slovakia's history before the Austro-Hungarian Empire:



    Early History: The region of present-day Slovakia has been inhabited since ancient times. It was settled by Celtic tribes, followed by Germanic, Slavic, and later Hungarian peoples. The Slavic tribes that settled in the area eventually formed the foundation of what would become the Slovak nation.



    Great Moravian Empire (9th-10th Century): In the 9th century, the territory of present-day Slovakia was part of the Great Moravian Empire, a Slavic state that played a crucial role in the history of the region. Great Moravia was a significant power in Central Europe and had a strong cultural and religious influence, especially through the work of Saints Cyril and Methodius, who introduced Christianity and the Old Church Slavonic language.



    Kingdom of Hungary (11th Century): In the late 10th and early 11th centuries, the Kingdom of Hungary emerged and gradually extended its control over the territory of present-day Slovakia. The Hungarians, also known as Magyars, established their rule and exerted influence over the region for several centuries.



    Part of the Hungarian Kingdom: Throughout the medieval period, Slovakia remained part of the Hungarian Kingdom. It was administered as part of the Kingdom's counties, with Hungarian nobility and feudal structures dominating political and economic life.



    Part of the Habsburg Monarchy (16th-17th Century): Slovakia came under Habsburg (Austrian) rule during the early modern period. The Habsburgs gradually expanded their influence over Hungary and its territories, including Slovakia. The region experienced conflicts and upheavals, including the Ottoman wars and Reformation movements.



    Habsburg Rule and Integration: By the 18th century, the Habsburg Monarchy consolidated control over Hungary and its territories, including Slovakia. The region became an integral part of the Habsburg Empire, which later transformed into the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1867.



    Industrialization and Modernization: During the 19th century, Slovakia underwent industrialization and economic development within the framework of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The economy shifted from predominantly agricultural to industrial, with mining and manufacturing becoming important sectors.



    It's important to note that the history of Slovakia is intertwined with that of neighboring regions and kingdoms, especially Hungary and the Czech lands. The transition from the medieval period to modern times saw significant political, cultural, and economic changes that shaped the identity of the Slovak people and their place within larger European contexts.

  • Úna Bhán

    Legend of Úna Bhán

    MacDermott was the Chieftain of Moylurg, a Celtic Kingdom in North Roscommon. He had a beautiful daughter, Úna Bhán, - so named because of her long blonde hair. His neighbour was Tomás Láidir Costello, a good and sincere man, handsome and strong.
    Úna Bhán and Tomás Láidir fell in love and wished to marry but MacDermot would not allow the marriage because he believed Tomás Láidir was not good enough for his daughter. Tomás Láidir was banished from the area and MacDermot had Úna Bhán confined on Castle Island, Lough Key, then called "The Rock", which was located in the centre of MacDermot territory.
    Úna Bhán went into a deep melancholy and was dying of grief. Tomás Láidir, hearing of the situation went to see her and when he left, vowed that if MacDermot did not send a message for him to return before he reached the river, he would never go back. The messenger was sent, but did not reach Tomás Láidir until after he had crossed the river. Being a man of honour Tomás Láidir was unable to break his vow and did not return.
    Úna Bhán died of a broken heart and was buried on Trinity Island, an island on Lough key. In his grief Tomás Láidir used to swim to the island every night to keep vigil at her grave. Eventually he got pneumonia and realising that he was dying requested that MacDermot allow him to be buried beside Úna Bhán. His request was granted and thus the two lovers were belatedly united.
    Two trees grew up over their graves, entwining together to form a Lovers Knot, standing guard over the site.

  • Liberty, and civil rights...human rights are worth more than safety or even ideological values. Equality is moot. Liberty is the great equalizer.

    Evergreen, Renegade, Celtic, Eagle, and Trailblazer will be on the Dockets soon.

  • Joe Biden is Trying to Cancel Easter by making a Trans Day of Visibility on Easter Day. The Catholic Church did this to other Religions by making Christmas and Halloween on other religious holidays to stamp other religions out centuries ago. Ever wonder what happened to the Celtic Religions? They disappeared because of it.

    Now Biden is trying to do the same thing. He thinks people will stop celebrating and forget Easter.

  • It seems that the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is just a Rip-Off of another, more dark Middle Ages legend that has nothing to do with a school teacher. But has everything to do with the Grim Reaper. Dullahan, a dark fairy, is the embodiment of Crom Cruach, a Celtic Dark God. This fairy is a headless horseman, and is comparable to the Grim Reaper.

    This Fairy rides around on a horse and is headless. This is where the author Issac Washington may have got his idea for the headless horseman from.
