Most of our resin garden statues were originally carved by village craftspeople in Bali. And, each village still receives a percentage from the sale of each statue. Each statue is cast, finished, and packed by hand in the U.S conforming to California's strict environmental laws.
DharmaCrafts sells a variety of Buddhist statues made in a number of materials including porcelain and brass. We recommend a periodic dusting to maintain their beauty. You should not wash or use any abrasives or cleansers on our Buddhist statues as the finish may be removed or damaged.
You may leave your garden statue outside over winter. However, it should be noted that extreme cold or heat can damage the statue; therefore, it is recommended that your statue is not placed on a surface that absorbs a lot of heat in the summer (like blacktop) or holds water and may freeze in the winter (such as a low level area). If left outside, your statue will weather and age and develop a unique character all its own.
Malas, also known as prayer beads or rosary beads, are used in many Buddhist traditions to count repetitions when reciting mantras and when performing prostrations. DharmaCrafts' malas are made here in the USA or in Korea and are very strong and durable.
Kuan Yin, also known as Kwan Yin in other traditions, is the manifestation of Great Love and Great Compassion. Her name means "one who hears the cries of the world". Kuan Yin is most often represented as a female deity but has the power to assume whatever form is necessary to fulfill her vow to save all beings from suffering. She is often shown holding a vase containing the waters of compassion, the lotus flower of enlightenment, or the jewel of the three treasures.
It only looks complicated! The easy steps are: Beginning at the bottom of the veil, fold it like an accordion or fan in 1 inch or 2 inch folds. When the veil is fully folded at the top of the thangka, pull the middle of the folded material through the horizontal string that runs across the top of the thangka and drape the material to your liking.
We have some sampler assortments from the Shoyeido line of premium Japanese incense. These samplers are an inexpensive method to try an assortment of premium incense from one of Japan's leading producers.
Tatami mats are made of woven rush grass and should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth and wiped dry. You do not want to get your tatami mats wet, and spills should be avoided.
Coming empty-handed,Going empty-handed,That is the human route.
On the right is the monastery signature from the makers of the screen.
The Lotus Pod lamp comes with a standard night-light bulb. Or you may use a 15w appliance bulb available at your local home center or hardware store.
The price of incense varies depending upon the rarity of the ingredients. For instance, the most prized incense is made with jinko or aloeswood. Aloeswood is formed by a very mysterious phenomenon of nature when a tree falls in a misty tropical forest. In a unique process that takes hundreds of years, resins within the wood solidify making it very dense and concentrating exquisite fragrance. Simply put, the more aloeswood in the incense, the more expensive the incense.
In both Chinese and Japanese cultures, the number "four" represents death. Therefore it is an unlucky number. For this reason, many Asian tea sets have five cups. Sets with four cups or dishes are made to cater to the Western market, where the number four holds no special meaning.
As a socially responsible, Buddhist business, DharmaCrafts enthusiastically upholds and supports the Tibetan people's struggle for self-determination and freedom as well as the preservation of Tibetan culture. Additionally, we support the work of Tibetan artists and craftspeople living in exile.

During his coaching tenure, he has been on coaching staffs that have won five conference titles and made 11 bowl appearances. He has coached nine defensive backs who have advanced to the NFL. Mitchell comes to West Virginia after serving the past three years as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at East Carolina.
"It's an honor to be associated with a program that has a great winning tradition such as West Virginia," Mitchell said. "I believe the fans are second to none; the state is second to none. It is a privilege to earn the right to go through this process to be a part of this family. It's a natural fit for me, coaching cornerbacks, because I played the position at all three levels, in high school, college and in the NFL. I was fortunate enough to play in the NFL with some very dominate football players such as Deion Sanders. I was able to learn, absorb, see, hear and put together and formulate a plan to help young men be very successful at the NCAA Division I level at the cornerback position. Knowledge is key to all things. I've been able to acquire that knowledge over the years and have had success of consistently putting a good product on the field."
In his first year at ECU in 2010, he was faced with the daunting task of rebuilding a Pirate defense that lost nine of its 11 starters from the previous campaign - including the entire front seven. Further compounding the struggles were the loss of three prominent two-deep members during the season because of injuries. Despite the personnel shortages, the Pirates still rated among the nation's better turnover-producing units – tying for 34th in fumbles recovered (11) and among the top 60 in total takeaways (22) during his initial year. In 2011, Mitchell spearheaded and provided oversight to the implementation of a 3-4 scheme - an alignment that produced immediate results and earned ECU a reputation as one of most improved units nationally.
The turnaround enabled the Pirates to move up 64 places on the FBS total defense rankings, allowing 102.5 fewer yards per game, and jump 22 spots in scoring defense by surrendering nearly 12 points per contest less than a year earlier. The attacking approach also helped ECU stand 17th nationally in fumbles recovered, 35th in red zone efficiency defense and 41st in fourth-down conversion percentage.
From a position standpoint, Mitchell tutored cornerback Emanuel Davis to back-to-back All-Conference USA selections and developed Damon Magazu into a ball-hawking free safety who led the team with four interceptions and three fumble recoveries in 2011. In 2012, the Pirates tied UCF for first place in the Eastern Division of Conference USA with a 7-1 league record and made their second bowl appearance in three years.
Mitchell served a four-year stint on Mike Leach's staff at Texas Tech from 2006-09 as cornerbacks coach. His cornerbacks contributed solid performances each of his four seasons. Jamar Wall led the group with 62 tackles and two interceptions in 2008 and earned All-Big 12 honors in 2009 after ranking second nationally with 17 passes defended. The Red Raider pass defense ranked best in the Big 12 Conference in 2006 and 2007, limiting opponents to 188.4 yards per game in 2007 - the only Big 12 program to hold opponents below 200 yards per game.
Following a brief career in the NFL, Mitchell returned to his alma mater, BYU, and earned a degree in clinical social work in 1995, before landing a position as defensive backs coach the following year on the staff of legendary coach LaVell Edwards. Mitchell enjoyed success in 11 overall coaching seasons with the Cougars, helping guide the team to five bowl appearances and a high ranking of No. 5 at the conclusion of the 1996 season. Furthermore, the Cougars captured back-to-back Western Athletic Conference championships during his stay, which included the '96 squad that rolled to a 14-1 record. While at BYU, he also served as the faculty advisor to the Black Student Union from 1995-02.
Mitchell, a native of Waco, Texas, played at BYU from 1987-90 and was a seventh-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in 1991. He spent three seasons in the NFL, splitting time with Atlanta and the Dallas Cowboys. The All-WAC cornerback played in four bowls with the Cougars and ran the opening leg of BYU's All-America 400M relay team. He still holds the school record for the longest interception return, a 97-yard effort against New Mexico in 1989. His 13 career interceptions stand fifth in the school's record book, while his five picks in 1989 were a season high.

As a fellow pregnant woman, I would like to speak on behalf of Kate Middleton and just say
Since the day her pregnancy was announced, I have wanted to write this post because I was shocked and appalled by all of the articles that immediately popped up all over the internet. I know she is in the public eye, but seriously, people, do we all really need to be talking about all of these details? Sure, it is perfectly fine to be happy for them, and, given their position, for their to be some mention of it in the media, and even chatter on social media. But honestly, I get overwhelmed and, frankly, even a bit annoyed by innocent and good-intentioned questions, comments, and concerns from my well-meaning family members and friends. You know, like when I was carrying pans of food from the oven to the buffet table on Christmas Eve when suddenly my aunt forbade me from carrying the baked ziti because it was too heavy. When you have a pan of baked ziti that is heavier than my 2-year-old, I'll let someone else carry it. And no, hubby, just because I have my hand on my belly does not mean anything is wrong. I can't even imagine having the entire world talking about the minutiae of my pregnancy, since really, what does it matter? Just let her get through the crappy first trimester, glow and plan and feel the joy during the second trimester, then survive and experience the nervous and exciting anticipation of the third trimester, all culminating in bringing her own little miracle into the world. Because while, to you, this may be the heir to the throne, one of the most famous babies in the world, to Kate, it is her child, just her little baby to love. Maybe just by writing this, I am being a hypocrite, but, while I refuse to link to the original articles that discussed these topics, I feel compelled to give a little perspective on why I will say, once again,
1) What Will Kate's Maternity Style Be? – The poor girl is living in the world of 24/7 nausea, and, in her case, to a greater extreme than even many other pregnant women. She is likely exhausted. If you've never been pregnant, think of the most tired you have ever felt. Then multiply that by, oh, about 10,000. Then square it. And finally, multiply it by N + 1, where N = the number of children you already have. Yeah, that tired. And not just tired as in you want to go to sleep, but tired as in every movement of your body feels like it takes the equivalent effort to, oh, say, rolling a boulder up a mountain. Right now, I guarantee she isn't thinking much about her maternity style. If she gets out of pajamas and puts on yoga pants, it's a victory. Give her a few more weeks, to the point where she gets past the is-she-fat-or-pregnant look to where has a cute baby bump, but it is not so big that it is making her top heavy so that she needs an oh-so-attractive maternity support belt just to feel like she doesn't have a bowling ball super glued to her abdomen. Jessica Simpson rocking stilettos till her due date, and Kim Kardashian wearing skin tight see-through dresses at 12 weeks – yeah, I pretty much guarantee you that is happening during the 10% of the time that they happen to get on camera because they feel they have some image or persona to live up to, and the rest of the time, elastic waist pants and slip on sneakers (so they don't have to bend down to tie their shoes) are their best friends.
2) Kate's Having Twins!! – Yes, there are statistics that women who suffer from first trimester nausea have a lower chance of miscarriage, and those who have it to the extreme of Hyperemesis Gravidarum, like Kate, have a slightly higher likelihood of twins. But first, let's talk math – odds of having twins are very low, particularly if you are not going through fertility treatments. So multiplying a very small number by another low number still gives you a very small number. And second, she is in her first trimester. Right now, Kate is just hoping and praying that she has A baby that she carries to term. If she is like every other pregnant woman out there, until she hits the magical point of 12 weeks, when odds of miscarriage drop dramatically, every time she goes to the bathroom, she probably has the worry, even if it is just in the back of her head, that this is going to be the time she sees something red or pink or brown that will send her into a panic and straight to her doctor. And even after 12 weeks, until you can feel that baby moving regularly, you are just betting on the fact that things are progressing as they should be. So yeah, right now, twins are not her top concern. Just having a healthy baby and feeling like a human is the priority.
3) When and Where Was the Royal Baby Conceived? – Umm, what? OK, granted I am not jet setting around the world, but where and when and how is between my husband and I (and our fertility doc, but that is another story for another time). If I knew that anybody out there was trying to figure out how far along I was, then trying to determine my coordinates for when sperm met egg, I would be disgusted. None of your freaking business, to be perfectly blunt. Granted I have not gone anywhere further than Vermont or Virginia, not like the Royal Couple who have set foot on practically every continent, but I really just can't understand why anyone would feel compelled to determine the date range in which the child could have been conceived, then look at their itinerary, and list out every possible location. I saw that. Hello?! I just can't even say anymore.
4) What Will They Name the Heir to the Throne? – Although not as private as #3, this, too, is between Will & Kate (and maybe, in their case, certain family members? I am not sure of the royal protocol there). I know that today it has become commonplace to tell everyone your child's name before he or she is born. And if you choose to do that, it is perfectly fine. Your decision. But you and your husband chose it together and made the decision to share it together. And the reason why some people, myself included, choose not to tell people, is that, besides the fact that I have a bad tendency to be indecisive and change my mind, we don't want to hear what you think about it. It is our decision, and once you see adorable little Romulus, you either won't care or won't be brazen enough to state an opinion about his name. That, and I don't want to end up with eleventy billion things with the name Romulus scrawled across them when, in the delivery room, I decide that he really looks like a Remus. So let Will & Kate name THEIR child, and they will tell all of us when they see fit. And if it is after said child is born, so be it.
As the arrival of this royal little babe draws closer, I am sure that opining, speculation and, just flat out rudeness will continue. You know what I say – close the magazine, don't click on the link, forget the retweets, and just let these wonderful people experience the ups, downs, expectations, fears, frustrations, and joys of becoming parents.

NEW YORK - On most TV dramas, David Fisher's homosexuality would be his defining trait. Not on "Six Feet Under," where actor Michael C. Hall gets to take David far beyond any stereotype.
"He's gay and he's conflicted about his sexual orientation," Hall said, "but no more than about anything else in his life. He's a guy fueled by a sense of conflict" - about his family, his profession, his faith, and, inevitably, about death.
"I think once a character is that fleshed out, then sexual orientation doesn't matter. The audience recognizes David as a human being."
What Hall is saying is a nod to what "Six Feet Under" fans already know: Human beings are united by a common fate, even as that outcome is in mortal dispute. Just witness the Fisher family. As owner-managers of a Los Angeles funeral home, they assist at the cusp of the hereafter. But they struggle in the here and now.
On "Six Feet Under" (whose second-season finale airs at 8 p.m. Sunday on HBO), the Fishers occupy a world where the abnormal and the commonplace co-exist uneasily.
That's certainly the case with David, whose conflicted nature went long unaddressed. He is dutiful, churchgoing, a regular guy, all the more so in comparison to his flighty older brother Nate (played by Peter Krause). And for years he despised it.
"It's usually the gay sibling who runs away and who has the more exciting life and who everybody secretly envies. But that's what Nate has done," Hall said, then added with a laugh, "David is the one who was bearing the Straight Man's Burden."
The burden has been lightened since David came out late last season.
"This year has been fun," Hall said, "because there's not such a filter between David and his sense of enthusiasm, and his sense of humor about life and himself."
Hall, 31, won the role after graduating from New York University's drama school, then landing work on the stage (most recently as the flamboyant master of ceremonies in the Broadway revival of "Cabaret"). But he had logged almost no on-camera experience.
"I knew they were taking a chance on me for 'Six Feet Under,' " he said. "I didn't have a reel or any tape. I hadn't done anything other than deliver room service on 'All My Children.' "
He has delivered magnificently on "Six Feet Under." With his hooded brow and square jaw, he brings leading-man looks to the role, as well as a robust blend of anger, heart and priggishness.
Granted, in real life Hall (who last weekend married Broadway actress Amy Spanger) is neither gay nor, he noted dryly, a funeral director.
"But I don't think closeted homosexual morticians have the market cornered on self-loathing or inner conflict," he said. "As an actor, you do whatever internal alchemy you have to do to generate those things in yourself. You can't play yourself all the time."
It's a distinction lost on some audience members, Hall said. Notably his fellow straight guys.
"Men will come up and say, 'Hey, I love your show. Me AND MY GIRLFRIEND love your show.' " He laughed. "I can't believe how many times that's happened. I tell them, 'It's OK. I don't think you're hitting on me.' "
Despite his and David's differences, Hall found early on they have much in common.
In the series' premiere, David's father was killed when a bus smacked into the hearse he was driving. At age 11 in Raleigh, N.C., Hall lost his father to cancer.
"It was really strange to do the pilot episode and be at 'my father's' funeral," Hall said, "then remember my own cloudy memories of my own father's funeral."
As part of his active afterlife, Fisher Sr. (played by Richard Jenkins) continues to make spectral interventions. When the family marked the first Christmas since his passing in a recent episode, he popped up in David's recollection of a final missed opportunity to tell him, "I'm gay."
"Sit down with your pop and tell me what you want for Christmas," David heard him say.
"I think David, more than anything, wanted to tell him the truth. But he couldn't," Hall explained.
This hit close to home, too.
"Even though in David's case there was some sort of unwillingness to open up, and in my case I was just a kid, a lot of the same regrets accompany the deaths of these two fathers," Hall said. "There's a lot that was never communicated."
It's a unifying theme of "Six Feet Under" - the need to communicate before it's too late - and something any viewer can identify with.
"David's has been the clearest example," Hall said, "but I think all the characters have their coming out to do."

The ability of manual massage to alter muscle blood flow through three types of massage treatments in a small (forearm) and a large (quadriceps) muscle mass was tested in 10 healthy individuals. A certified massage therapist administered effleurage, petrissage, and tapotement treatments to the forearm flexors (small muscle mass) and quadriceps (large muscle mass) muscle groups in a counterbalanced manner. Limb blood flow was determined from mean blood velocity (MBV) (pulsed Doppler) and vessel diameter (echo Doppler). MBV values were obtained from the continuous data sets prior to treatment, and at 5, 10, and 20 s and 5 min following the onset of massage. Arterial diameters were measured immediately prior to and following the massage treatments; these values were not different and were averaged for the blood flow calculations. The MBV (e.g., 5.77 ± 0.4 and 9.73 ± 0.7 cm·s-1) and blood flows (39.1 ± 6.4 and 371 ± 30 ml·min-1) for brachial and femoral arteries, respectively, were not altered by any of the massage treatments in either the forearm or quadriceps muscle groups (P > 0.05). Mild voluntary handgrip(≈35% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) and knee extension (15 cm) contractions resulted in peak blood velocities (15.2 ± 1.2 and 28.1± 3.1 cm·s-1) and blood flow (126 ± 19 and 1087± 144 ml·min-1) for brachial and femoral arteries, respectively, which were significantly elevated from rest (P < 0.05). The results indicate that manual massage does not elevate muscle blood flow irrespective of massage type or the muscle mass receiving the treatment. Further, the results indicate that if an elevated muscle blood flow is the desired therapeutic effect, then light exercise would be beneficial whereas massage would not.

With the ongoing publication of The History of the Irish Book (Oxford University Press) and The History of the Book in Scotland (Edinburgh University Press), it is now a particularly opportune moment to reflect on the similarities and differences between these two significant communications cultures. Studies of print culture in Britain have tended to focus on book production and consumption in England. Recent research, however, has pointed to the essential vitality and distinctiveness of the Irish and Scottish markets which not only consumed works printed in London but also on their own presses. Drawing on fresh and innovative research, this conference is intended to contrast the development of print culture in Scotland and Ireland following political union with England in 1707 and 1800.
Core questions might include:
What impact did Union have on the book trades of Scotland and Ireland? Did print culture in the period after Union contribute more to a homogenisation of British culture or to the nurturing of distinctive regional identities? What can the creative writing of Scotland and Ireland tell us about the impact of Union? How far does the published output of the period reflect the debates about the advantages and disadvantages of a union of the kingdoms? Were networks for news gathering and publishing transformed in this period? What effects did Union have on Irish language / Scots Gaelic language publishing? What relationship can be identified between Union and Empire?
By probing the commonalities and differences between the experiences of these print domains, this conference will seek to stimulate a broader debate on the strengths and weaknesses of comparative history and its value to the study of communication. To this end, the organisers wish to strongly encourage collaborative research papers (especially papers of an interdisciplinary nature or written jointly by specialists of the Scottish and Irish print domains).
Deadline: The deadline for the submission of abstracts for consideration by the conference organisers is Tuesday 15 May 2008. Abstracts will be considered by an interdisciplinary panel of advisors and should be sent to Dr Sandy Wilkinson, Director, Centre for the History of the Media, School of History and Archives, University College Dublin, Belfied, Ireland. email@example.com

Walton shooting to return for Round 2
LOS ANGELES -- Luke Walton will be unabashedly rooting for the Portland Trail Blazers for a little while.
Walton wants Portland, which trails its first-round series with Houston by a 3-1 count, to force a Game 7 and thus push the Lakers' second-round series as far back as possible. Walton hopes the partially torn deltoid ligament in his left ankle will heal in time for him to be available for the second round.
Walton said he'll "absolutely" play in the second round, although the Lakers are waiting for a re-examination in a week before projecting how long Walton will be out.

Right around noon Saturday, the sun poked from the clouds to cast a brilliant shimmer across the waters of the East End Pool.
It lent a glimmer of hope to a day that brought with it a bit of sadness.
The day marked the final swim meet to be held at the pool at Shaw Park Place on Sherman Street.

KAREN VIBERT-KENNEDY/Sun-Gazette
Swimmers dive in at the city's East End Pool during the Greater Susquehanna Valley Aquatic Swim League Championships held Saturday. The pool is not scheduled to reopen in future summers, and the event likely was the last swim meet at the facility.
Hundreds of people turned out poolside for the Greater Susquehanna Valley Aquatics Swim League championships.
"It's been a great complex," said Thad Meckley, a former swimmer and swim coach who serves as president of the Williamsport Waves.
The Waves, comprised of boy and girl swimmers, served as the host team for Saturday's championships, which involved 13 teams and hundreds of participants.
The team hopes to use the Memorial Pool next year for its meets and practices, but that all hinges on whether the complex in Williamsport's West End is able to open.
The city received a grant to make upgrades to the Memorial Pool and efforts are underway to raise money needed to renovate the pool, which has been closed for the past two years.
Meckley said he had a lot of memories of the East End Pool.
"It's the first pool I ever came to," he said.
Meckley, who later made the
swim team at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, said the pool has been part of the lives of many families involved in swimming over the years.
People such as Wendy Fenstamaker Pricher know what Meckley means.
"My mom (Andrea Phillips) has been coming for years," she said. "It's really sad to see all these local pools close."
A former competitive swimmer with three children involved in the sport, she too holds many memories of East End Pool.
Nicole Hockman, Williamsport Waves treasurer, said the East End Pool has served the team well over the years.
"We have a beautiful complex here," she said.
Jerry Hammaker, Lycoming College swim coach, said the East End Pool always has been one of his favorites.
"I think it was the second pool I swam in," said Hammaker, a 1985 Williamsport Area High School graduate who starred on many swim teams in the area as a youth. "I started here when I was 5."
Hammaker was at his familiar spot behind the microphone at East End Pool Saturday, serving as an announcer at the swimming championships.
While sad to see East End close, he said he'll be happy if Memorial Pool opens next year.
"There is a lot of interest in this area for swimming," Hockman said.
Meckley noted that this year alone, a number of Waves swimmers have set swim meet records.
About 80 swimmers competed this year for the Waves.
"Next year, we will be pool-less if Memorial is not open," Hockman said.
To which Meckley quickly added: "We will be there next year."

I've never heard of this...wouldn't it be easier to just ask your husband to stop pulling out your hair?
I got a trim Friday and my stylist told me that I have a lot of spots where hair is missing on my head (my husband likes to twist my hair and pull the knots out, that is the cause of this). She recommended that I try castor oil to rgrow the hair that I've lost. I want to know if others have had success with this and if I'm doing this correctly. I've read where you need to mix it with a thinner oil like olive oil and apply it to a wet head.
I've never heard of this...wouldn't it be easier to just ask your husband to stop pulling out your hair?
Errm punch your husband whenever he touches your hair?? lol
Anyway, I have read that castor oil can be good for hair regrowth. I tried it for awhile, but was never very good at persisting... and now I do CrossFit at 6am every morning, it's impractical to do at night because my hair would be a greasy mess each morning!
Actually, it dries well enough to where it isn't a greasy mess, just shiny as hell.
There's an Italian man who invented a gym to regrow the hair. The basic exercise is to to pull your hair in order to detach the scalp from the bone, which is the main cause of hair loss. For the ones who don't have (enough) hair to pull, the secret is to corrugate your eyebrows continuously and keep the position as much as possible, always leaning your head backwards or on a side (never ahead, since you need extra skin on the neck in order to corrugate well).
It's not something fast and you need to practice a lot. THe guy who invented this (passed away few years ago but with his head full of hair after having been pretty hairless for 50 years) was able to regrow all his hair in 6 months.
He also wrote a book but it's only in Italian. His name is Giovanni Serri-Pili.

Where did you find the ebook? I searched and couldn't find it.
People too weak to follow their own dreams will always try to discourage others.
It is a traditional East Europenian method. The trick is not to expect immediate results. The Polish beauty experts (or an urban legend, lol) goes that you need to do it weekly for 1 year & then you will have a head of hair like a lion's mane (I am loosely quoting Ioanna Chmelevskaya here, a Soviet version of Evanovich of the Stephanie Plum's fame). I never managed a year, but a few months, yes. It always improves the appearance of hair, it grows thicker and darker. In particular, it helped me with hair loss after pregnancy. I am sure without castor oil I'd be bold by now.
The castor oil is also used by ladies to make eyelashes thicker and longer - I did it in my teens religiously.
The hair method: warm up about 1/4-1/3 cup of castor oil to a 'pleasant to handle' temperature (tepid). Rub it carefully into the skull and the roots. Wrap a newspaper and a towel - or just an old towel that you don't mind losing to this process tightly around to keep everything nice and moist. Have a leasury bath or do whatever works for you for 2-4 hours. Then break an egg, whip it with a fork and rub in - do it in the shower stand or in the bath, lol, it leaks! In a few minutes wash off everything with warm water gently. If hair fills oily, use another egg or egg yolk. Enjoy the shine and full fill the very next day!
But to achieve a really lasting results, yeah, you have to persist!

Tom Izzo's Son Picks Duke Over MSU
March 28th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo learned the hard way that when it comes to filling out an NCAA tournament bracket, family loyalty counts for nothing.
During a Wednesday interview on ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike in the Morning," Izzo recalled how his 13-year-old son, Steven, was filling out his bracket and had Duke and Michigan State matched up in the Sweet Sixteen. Izzo encouraged his son to pick with his head, not his heart — not anticipating Steven's ensuing prediction.
"The damn kid picked Duke," Izzo told the two Mikes.
With the Blue Devils and Spartans set to square off on Friday in Indianapolis, Steven Izzo – who middle name is Mateen after former Spartans star Mateen Cleaves – now has to choose who to cheer for with family on one side and the glory of winning his bracket on the other. The elder Izzo seems to be making the decision pretty easy on his son.
Said Michigan State's head man: "My son's problem is whether he even eats at my house again."

Aunty Pam - Corrie's Marmite character
13 comments:
I like Aunty Pam. She's quirky and has a good sense of humour. I like her and Bill together too; it's good to see that she is now a character in her own right, and not just an extension of Molly.
I think Corrie have a quite a few Marmite characters actually.

- Peter said...
Surely the reasons why people either love Pam or hate her are very much the same thing? Personally? I love her! She is cheery and fun. I do hope that her and Bill become an established partnership because their 'romance' storyline was rather good.
All together now; "It's only Pam!"

- Yoork said...
Actually, I'm indifferent to Pam. I like her enough, but I don't know that I love her. She can be irritating sometimes, but I don't hate her.
But I do hate Marmite! The only thing worse than Marmite is Vegemite!!!
- 31 July 2009 at 18:39
I hate her! she's not endearing or funny, she's another annoying appendage to the queen of annoying molly! Argh! Everytime she comes on i think "Oh just go awaayyyyy". I am getting a little wound up about this, i know, but the thought of "Mee-shell" also coming back to the rovers with all of the hands over her mouth, folded arms, sarcastic eye rolling, looking into the middle distance, and lip pursing, is too much to bear. Oh god, molly is back soon too... Argh!

WE LOVE "ANTIE PAM". Nice to see the gorgeous Bill Webster enjoying himself too!

I dont mind Auntie Pam but they need to make her less one dimensional, these Del Boy antics have been exhausted now and are not funny. Give her some storylines with Bill Webster.

In other news, I love Marmite!

Aunty Pam is the best thing on Corrie and I know I speak for the many. Please give her more storylines - we miss her.
- 1 August 2009 at 14:54
I love Auntie Pam! Much like i love marmite!
"S'only Pam!" :)
- 3 August 2009 at 02:29
Love marmite but no time for Auntie Pam. A thinly drawn one-dimensional character that was brought in to fulfil a role and now that job's done is thrashing around for something to do. I assume she's been kept on as a comic character. Unfortunately I don't find her in the least bit funny.
- 3 August 2009 at 09:00
I can't stand Marmite - but fortunately love Pam.
One of the best new charaters to come to Corrie. Can't understand why Ms Anthony hasn't been nominated for any best new characters awards or funniest character!
Each to their own I guess, but I couldn't dissagree with Sunny Jim any more than I do.
Keep it coming Pammie - you are the tops. Too much young kid stuff on Corrie and we need more Norris, Pam and Blanche ... now what a trio that would be.
- 16 August 2009 at 12:35
I think it's safe to say that the latest fill of Pam has been just brilliant.
I can't stand Marmite but I could keep on spreading Pam over and over again now.
More Pam stuff please writers.

Matching family tree profiles for John Lackland, King of England
Immediate Family
About John Lackland, King of England
alternate birth location details
Kings Manor House, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England
several sources also give his birth year as 1167
other possible death date ; 19 October 1216
JOHN, son of HENRY II King of England & his wife Eléonore Dss d'Aquitaine (Beaumont Palace, Oxford 24 Dec 1166 or 1167-Newark Castle, Lincolnshire 18/19 Oct 1216, bur Worcester Cathedral[551]). The primary sources are contradictory regarding John´s year of birth. Robert of Torigny records the birth "1167…in vigilia Natalis Domini" of "Johannis filius regis Anglorum"[552]. Ralph de Diceto´s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1166 that "Alienor regina" gave birth to "filium...Johannem"[553]. Matthew Paris records that "Alienor Anglorum regina" gave birth to "filium…Johannes", stating neither the place nor the precise date but the passage is located in the middle of text which records events in 1166[554]. The Annals of Burton record the birth of "Regina…Johannem filium suum" in 1166[555]. The Annals of Dunstable record the birth of "Alienor…filium Johannem" at the end of the paragraph dealing with events in 1165 and immediately before the start of the paragraph for 1167, although it is likely that 1166 was intended as the text includes no separate entry for that year[556]. John was designated King of Ireland in 1177. Created Comte de Mortain 1189. His lands were placed under interdict by Baldwin Archbishop of Canterbury because of his first marriage[557]. He succeeded his brother Richard I in 1199 as JOHN King of England, crowned London 27 May 1199[558] and again 8 Oct 1200 with his second wife at Westminster Abbey[559]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the coronation "VI Kal Jul" at Westminster Abbey in [1199] of "Johannes dominus Hiberniæ"[560]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death "XV Kal Nov" [1216] of King John and his burial "Wignorniæ"[561]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death "apud Newerk in crastino Sanctæ Luciæ virginis" in 1216 of "Johannes rex Angliæ"[562].
Betrothed (Auvergne 1173 before 2 Feb) to ALIX de Maurienne, daughter of HUMBERT III Comte de Maurienne & his third wife Klementia von Zähringen ([1166]-1174). The marriage contract between "Johanni filio Henrici…regis Angliæ" and "Humbertus comes Mauriensis et marchio Italiæ…filia…primogenita…Aalis" is dated 1173[563]. Ralph de Diceto´s Ymagines Historiarum record in 1173 the betrothal of "Henricus rex Angliæ, Johanni filio suo cognomento sine terra" and "septenni filiam primogenitam Humberti comitis de Moriana...ex relicta Henrici Saxonis ducis"[564]. Her parentage is specified by Matthew Paris when he records this betrothal. Although he does not give her first name, he calls her "filia primogenita"[565]. Benedict of Peterborough records the betrothal of "Humbertus comes de Mauriana…Aalis filiam suam majoram" and "rex…Johannis filii sui iunioris" at "Alvernium…Montem Ferratum" in 1173 before 2 Feb, and the agreement whereby John would inherit the county of Maurienne if Humbert had no sons by his wife[566].
m firstly (Betrothed 1176, Marlborough Castle 29 Aug 1189, divorced before 30 Aug 1199) as her first husband, ISABEL [Avise] Countess of Gloucester, daughter of WILLIAM FitzRobert Earl of Gloucester & his wife Havise de Beaumont ([before 1176]-14 Oct or [18 Nov] 1217, bur Canterbury Cathedral Church). An anonymous continuation of the Chronicle of Robert of Mont-Saint-Michel records (in order) "Comitissa Ebroicensis…uxor Guillelmi Comitis de Clara, tertia…in manu Dei et domini Regis" as the three daughters left by "Guillelmus Comes Glocestriæ" when he died[567]. The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey names "Mabiliam comiti de Evereis in Normannia nuptam…Amiciam…Isabellam" as the three daughters of "comes Willielmus" and his wife, adding that Isabel married "Henricus rex…Johanni filio suo"[568]. Benedict of Peterborough records the betrothal in 1176 of "Johannem filium regis minimum" and "Willelmus filius Roberti filii regis Henrici primi comes Gloucestriæ…filiam ipsius comitis" and the agreement whereby John would inherit the county of Gloucester[569]. Her marriage is recorded by Matthew Paris, who specifies that it took place despite the prohibition of Baldwin Archbishop of Canterbury on the grounds of consanguinity, although he does not name her[570]. Benedict of Peterborough records the marriage in 1189 of "Johannes frater ducis [Normanniæ]" and "filiam comitis Gloucestriæ" at "Marlebegam IV Kal Sep"[571]. The Chronicle of Ralph of Coggeshall records that "comes Johannes frater eius [rege Ricardo]" married "filiam comitis Glocestriæ"[572]. The primary source which confirms her name as Isabelle has not yet been identified. She was recognised as Ctss of Gloucester in her own right from her marriage in [1189]. Matthew Paris records that the king divorced "uxorem suam Hawisam comitis Gloverniæ filiæ" [in 1200 from the context] because "affines erant in tertio gradu consanguinitatis"[573]. The Annales Londonienses record the divorce in 1200 of King John and "Hawysiam filiam comitis Gloverniæ", stating that they were "in tertio gradu consanguinitatis"[574]. King John appears to have kept her as a state prisoner after their divorce, but retained her title even after her nephew Amaury de Montfort was installed as Earl of Gloucester in 1199[575]. The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey records the second marriage of "Isabellam" and "Galfrido de Mandevile comiti Essexiæ", and her third marriage to "Huberto de Burgo justiciario Angliæ"[576]. Her lands and title were confiscated on the death of her second husband, who died a rebel. She married secondly ([16/26] Jan 1214) as his second wife, Geoffrey de Mandeville Earl of Essex, and thirdly ([Sep] 1217) as his second wife, Hubert de Burgh, who was created Earl of Kent in 1227. The Annals of Waverley record the death in 1217 of "Isabel comitissa Gloucestriæ"[577]. The Annals of Dunstable record that "Johannam comitissam Gloucestriæ" died "paucos dies" after her marriage to "Hubertus de Burgo justiciarius Angliæ" and was buried "apud Cantuarium"[578].
Betrothed (early 1193) to ALIX de France, daughter of LOUIS VII King of France & his second wife Infanta doña Constanza de Castilla ([4 Oct] 1160-after 1200). Kerrebrouck states that Richard I King of England arranged the betrothal of Alix, to whom he had earlier been betrothed himself, to his younger brother John in early 1193[579], but the primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. She returned to France in Aug 1195.
m secondly (Bordeaux Cathedral 24 Aug 1200) as her first husband, ISABELLE d'Angoulême, daughter of AYMAR "Taillefer" Comte d'Angoulême & his wife Alix de Courtenay ([1187]-Fontevrault Abbey 31 May 1246, bur Fontevrault Abbey). The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the marriage "IX Kal Sep" [1200] of King John and "Isabellam filiam Engolisimi comitis" and their coronation together "VIII Id Oct" in London[580]. Matthew Paris records that the king "consilio regis Francorum" married "Isabel filiam comitis Engolismi...Hugo cognomento Brunus comes Marchiæ" in 1200 and her consecration as queen "dominica proxima ante festum Sancti Dionisii apud Westmonasterium" [8 Oct], in a later passage specifying that King John arrived at Dover from France "VIII Id Oct" before their joint coronation at Westminster[581]. She succeeded her father in 1202 as Ctss d'Angoulême, but was not formally recognised as such until Nov 1206. She married secondly (10 Mar/22 May 1220) Hugues [XI] de Lusignan Comte de la Marche. Her origin is confirmed in the charter dated 1224 under which "Ugo de Leziniaco comes Marchiæ et Engolismæ et Ysabella uxor eius…regina Angliæ" confirmed rights granted by "bonæ memoriæ Ademaro comite Engolismæ patre eiusdem dominæ Ysabellæ" to Vindelle[582]. Matthew Paris records her death, when he specifies that she was the wife of Hugues Comte de la Marche[583].
Mistress (1): --- de Warenne, daughter of HAMELIN d´Anjou Earl of Surrey & his [second] wife Isabel de Warenne of Surrey (-[killed 1200]). According to Given-Wilson & Curteis[584], one of the mistresses of King John was the "sister of William de Warenne" but the authors do not specify which sister she was. The Chronicle of Robert of Gloucester names "Richard fiz le rei…Ion" and "the erles daughter of Wareine" his mother[585]. The Annales Cestrienses record in 1200 that "W. de Waren meunch fil Regis" was killed[586]. Christie suggests that one possibility is that "meunch" in this source may represent a contraction of "mater Richardi", another possibility being that it represents "avunculus" and that the entry refers to the death of William de Warenne (although if that is correct, the date makes little sense)[587].
Mistress (2): CLEMENTIA, daughter of ---. The Annals of Tewkesbury names "reginæ Clemenciæ" as the mother of "domina Johanna Walliæ, uxor Lewelini, filia regis Johannis" when recording her daughter´s death[588]. Weir names "Henry Pinel" as Clementia´s husband[589]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. The suspicion is that it relates to a possible identification of Clementia herself as "Clementia wife of Henry Pinel" but that there is no basis for saying definitively that the husband of King John´s mistress was Henry Pinel.
Mistress (3): HAWISE, daughter of ---. Given-Wilson & Curteis name "Hawise" as the mother of King John´s son Oliver, adding that "she had some claim to land in Kent and it is possible that she was a Tracy"[590]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.
Mistress (4): SUSANNA, daughter of ---. Given-Wilson & Curteis record that she was given a "tunic and super-tunic" in 1213[591]. The primary source which confirms her name and relationship with King John has not yet been identified.
Mistresses (5) - (12): ---. The names of the other mistresses of King John are not known. King John & his second wife had five children:
1. HENRY (Winchester Castle 1 Oct 1207-Palace of Westminster 16 Nov 1272, bur Westminster Abbey). Matthew Paris records that "Isabel Anglorum regina" gave birth "in die sancti Remigii" 1207 to "Johanni regi filium suum primogenitum...Henricus"[592]. He succeeded his father 28 Oct 1216 as HENRY III King of England.
2. RICHARD (Winchester Castle 5 Jan 1209-Berkhamstead Castle, Herts 2 Apr 1272, bur Hayles Abbey, Gloucestershire). The Chronicle of Ralph of Coggeshall records the birth in 1209 of "Ricardus secundus filius regis"[593]. Matthew Paris records that "Isabel Anglorum regina" gave birth in 1208 to "Johanni regi filium legitimum...Ricardum"[594]. He was designated Comte de Ponthieu before 14 Aug 1225, and created Earl of Cornwall 30 May 1227.
3. JOAN of England (22 Jul 1210-Havering-atte-Bower, Essex 4 Mar 1238, bur Tarrant Crawford Abbey, Dorset[595]). The Annals of Worcester record the birth "die Sanctæ Mariæ Magdalenæ" in 1210 of "regi filia Johanna"[596]. King John confirmed the proposed marriage of "Johannam filiam suam genitam de Ysabell uxore sua, filia com Engolism" to "Hugonis de Lysuinan fil H com Marchie" by charter dated 29 Sep 1214[597]. Matthew Paris records her marriage, specifying that she was the sister of King Henry III[598]. The Annals of Dunstable record that "regi Scotiæ" married "rege…sororem suam" in 1221, specifying that she was eleven years old at the time and had previously been betrothed to "Hugoni Brun"[599]. The marriage contract between "Alexando...Regi Scotiæ" and "Rex...Johannam primogenitam sororem nostram" is dated 15 Jun 1220[600]. The Annales Londonienses record the death in 1238 of "Johanna regina regis Scotiæ, soror regis Anglorum" while on a visit to her brother in England and her burial "IV Non Mar"[601]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death "apud Haveringes III Non Mar" of "regina Scotiæ soror regis Angliæ" and her burial "apud Tarentune monialium"[602]. Betrothed (29 Sep 1214) to HUGUES [XI] de Lusignan Comte de la Marche, son of HUGUES [X] "le Brun" Sire de Lusignan, Comte de la Marche & his first wife --- (-1249 after 15 Jan, bur Abbaye de Valence). He succeeded in 1220 as Comte d'Angoulême. m (contract 15 Jun 1220, York Minster 18 or 25 Jun 1221) as his first wife, ALEXANDER II King of Scotland, son of WILLIAM I "the Lion" King of Scotland & his wife Ermengarde de Beaumont (Haddington, East Lothian 24 Aug 1198-Isle of Kerrara, Bay of Oban 6 Jul 1249, bur Melrose Abbey, Roxburghshire).
4. ISABELLA of England (1214-Foggia near Naples 1 Dec 1241, bur Bari). Matthew Paris records her marriage, specifying that she was the sister of King Henry III[603]. The Annals of Dunstable record that "Fredericus imperator Alemanniæ" married "Ysabellam filiam Johannis regis Angliæ" in 1235, her dowry being 30,000 marcs of silver[604]. The Annales Erphordenses record the marriage "1235 XVII Kal Aug" at Worms of "sororem Regis Anglie" and the emperor[605]. Her marriage was arranged by her future husband to drive a wedge between England and the Welf faction in Germany, long time allies[606]. She was granted the castle of Monte Sant'Angelo by her husband on her marriage, and crowned empress 20 Jul 1235 at Worms Cathedral. After her marriage, her husband confined her to one of his castles in Sicily where she was guarded by eunuchs. The Annales Londonienses record the death in 1241 of "Isabella imperatrix, soror regis Angliæ"[607]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death "circa festum sancti Nicholai" in 1241 of "Johanna imperatrix" and her burial "apud Barensem urbem"[608]. She died in childbirth[609]. m (Betrothed London Feb 1235, Worms Cathedral 15 or 20 Jul 1235) as his third wife, Emperor FRIEDRICH II, son of Emperor HEINRICH VI & his wife Constanza of Sicily (Iesi, Ancona 26 Dec 1194-Castel Fiorentino near Lucera, Foggia 13 Dec 1250, bur 25 Feb 1251 Palermo cathedral). 5. ELEANOR of England (1215-convent of the sisters of St Dominic, near Montargis 13 Apr 1275). The Annals of Dunstable record that "Willelmus Marscallus junior" married "sororem Henrici regis Angliæ" in 1225, recorded as the first event in that year[610]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the marriage in 1224 of "soror regis Henrici" and "juveni Marescallo"[611]. She is recorded as "Pembrocensis comitissa" (not named), sister of Isabella, by Matthew Paris[612]. He names her as daughter of King John in a later passage which records her second marriage with "Simon de Monteforti", specifying that she was "relictam Willelmi Marescalli comitis de Penbrochia"[613]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the marriage "XIX Kal Feb in parvula capella regis apud Westmonasterium" of "soror regis Angliæ uxor quondam junioris Marscalli" and "Symoni de Monteforti"[614]. The Annales Cambriæ record that "Simon de Monteforti" married "Alienoram comitissam Penbrok" in 1238[615]. She became a nun after the death of her first husband, taking a vow of perpetual celibacy. This was not a canonical impediment to her second marriage, her second husband obtaining Papal absolution in Rome for the marriage[616]. She retired once more as a nun at Montargis (a cell of the abbey of Fontevraud) after her second husband was killed[617]. A writ dated 3 Jun "3 Edw I", following the death of "Eleanor countess of Leicester late the wife of William Marescal earl of Pembroke" related to "Kemesing manor...Neubiri manor" held in dower by the deceased from her first husband, adjudged to "Roger le Bygot earl of Norfolk and marshal of England one of the heirs of Walter le Marescal brother and heir of the said William...Roger de Mortuo Mari and Maud his wife, Eudo la Zuche and Milicent his wife, John de Hastingges and Humphrey de Boun heirs of Eva de Breuhus a sister and heir of the said Walter...Agnes de Vescy, Emery de Rupe Cauardi and Maud his wife, William de Mohun, John de Mohun, Agatha de Mortuo Mari and John de Boun heirs of Sibyl de Ferrariis another sister and heir of the said Walter...William de Valencia and Joan his wife an heir of the said Walter"[618]. m firstly (23 Apr 1224) as his second wife, WILLIAM Marshal Earl of Pembroke, son of WILLIAM Marshal Earl of Pembroke & his wife Isabel de Clare Ctss of Pembroke (Normandy [1190]-6 Apr 1231, bur 15 Apr 1231 Temple Church, London). No children. m secondly (King's Chapel, Palace of Westminster 7 Jan 1238525) SIMON de Montfort, son of SIMON de Montfort Earl of Leicester & his wife Alice de Montmorency (1208-killed in battle Evesham 4 Aug 1265, bur Evesham). He left in England for Rome in 1238, while his wife remained at Kenilworth[619].
King John had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1): 6. RICHARD FitzJohn [Fitzroy] (-[1245/46]). The Chronicle of Robert of Gloucester names "Richard fiz le rei…Ion" and "the erles daughter of Wareine" his mother[620]. King John granted "terram…Roes de Dover uxorem suam…castro illo de Chilleha" to "Ric filio nostro" by order dated 11 Jul 1214[621]. "William Briwere" was ordered to deliver to "Richard the king´s son all the lands which fell to Rose his wife hereditarily"[622]. He was a captain in King John's army during the baronial revolt. He fought the invasion of Louis de France in 1217[623]. Lord of Chilham, Kent, de iure uxoris. Henry III King of England granted exemptions to "Ricardo filio Regis" in respect of "castrum suum de Chileham" dated 21 Jun 1217[624]. Bracton notes a claim, dated 1227, by "Ricardus filius Reg et Roysia uxor eius" against "Robertum filium Walteri" for land "in Lesnes" of which "Roysia de Douera avia ipsius Roysie" was seised[625]. Henry III King of England granted "to Richard de Dovor his cousin…the custody of the lands which belonged to Geoffrey de Costentyn in Ireland" by charter dated 11 Jun 1244[626]. Matthew Paris records the deaths of "Ricardi filii Rogeri [maybe error for "Regii"] de Chilham, Ricardi de Dover filii eius" among those who died in 1245[627]. m (before 11 Jul 1214) as her first husband, ROHESE de Dover, daughter and heiress of FULBERT de Dover of Chilham, Kent & his wife Isabel Briwere ([1204/05]-[1264/65]). King John granted "terram…Roes de Dover uxorem suam…castro illo de Chilleha" to "Ric filio nostro" by order dated 11 Jul 1214[628]. Bracton records a claim, dated 1230, by "Matillis de Lucy, Ricardus filius Reginaldi [error for "Regis", probably incorrectly extended to Reginaldi from Regi?] et Roysa uxor eius" against "Robertum Yellestede" concerning "terre…in Neutona", which records the claimants´ ancestry "Galfrido…filio et heredi suo…et de predicto Galfrido…Herberto…filio et heredi suo et de predicto Herberto Matillidi et Royse sororibus" and "de predicta Roysa…Foberto filio suo et de predicto Foberto isti Royse…filie et heredi suo"[629]. She married secondly (after 14 Jul 1250) William de Wilton. The Pipe Rolls record in 1258 that "Willelmus de Wilton" married "Roesiam de Douor que fuit uxor Ricardi de Chileham"[630]. A writ following the death of "Richard de Dovor and Rose his wife" names "Richard son of Richard de Dovor, aged 21 on the eve of the Purification" as heir[631]. Richard & his wife had three children
King John had one illegitimate daughter by Mistress (2): 7. JOAN (-30 Mar 1237). King John confirmed "castrum de Ellesmara" to "Lewelino principi Norwallie in maritagium cum Johanna filia nostra" by charter dated 16 Apr 1205[642]. Her husband sent her to make peace with the king her father in 1211 when the latter was attacking North Wales. She was legitimated in 1226: Pope Honorius III gave dispensation to "Joan wife of Leuwelin prince of North Wales, daughter of king John declaring her legitimate, but without prejudice to the king or realm of England", dated 29 Apr 1226[643]. She and her son David did homage to King Henry III in 1229[644]. The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "William Bruse was hanged by Llywelyn son of Iorewerth, having been caught in the chamber of the prince with the princess Jannet, daughter of King John and wife of the prince" in 1230[645]. The Annales Cambriæ record the death in 1237 of "domina Johanna filia regis Angliæ et uxor Lewilini principis Walliæ" and her burial "apud Haber"[646]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death "III Kal Apr" in 1236 of "domina Johanna Walliæ, uxor Lewelini, filia regis Johannis et reginæ Clemenciæ"[647]. The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Dame Joan daughter of king John and the wife of Llywelyn son of Iorwerth" died in Feb 1237 "at the court of Aber and was buried in a new cemetery on the side of the strand which Howel bishop of Llanelwy had consecrated"[648]. m (1205) as his second wife, LLYWELLYN ap Iorwerth Fawr ("the Great") Prince of North Wales, son of IORWERTH Drwyndwyn ("flat nose") Prince of Gwynedd & his wife Marared of Powys ([1173]-1240).
King John had one illegitimate son by Mistress (3):
8. OLIVER (-killed at siege of Damietta 1219, bur Westminster Abbey). The 13th century Histoire des ducs de Normandie et des rois d´Angleterre names "Oliviers li fils le roi Jehan de bas"[649]. He fought against Louis of France during the latter's invasion in 1216/17. He was granted the castle of Tonge, the manor of Erdington and the estate of Hamedon by his half-brother King Henry III. Henry III King of England granted "terris Petri filii Herberti" to "fratri nostro Olivero filio Regis" dated 20 Mar 1217[650]. He joined the Fifth Crusade in 1218[651]. Matthew Paris records, in 1218, the arrival at Damieta in Egypt of "...Olivero filio regis Angliæ"[652]. The Historia Damiatina by Oliverus Scholasticus records the deaths in 1218 at Damieta of "comes de Marcha et comes de Bar et filius eius, frater Guillelmus de Carnoto magister militiæ templi, Herveus de Virsione, Iterius de Tacci, Oliverus filius regis Anglie"[653].
King John had [eleven] illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:
9. GEOFFREY FitzRoy (-1205). An order of King John dated 14 Oct 1200 names "Gaufr filii nostri"[654]. He held the honour of Perche. He headed a band of mercenaries who were embarking for Poitou from Dartmouth in 1205[655]. King John issued an order dated 26 Apr 1205 to "filius noster Gaufredus et Sauarci de Maloleon et Martin Algeis señ ñr Wascoñ"[656].
10. [OSBERT Giffard . Given-Wilson & Curteis name "Osbert Giffard" as an illegitimate son of King John, adding that he "is easily confused with a contemporary of the same name and goes almost unrecorded"[657]. Wrottesley quotes Sandford´s Genealogical History of the Kings and Queens of England which names "Osbert Giffard another base son of King John, to whom his said father in the 17th year of his reign commanded the Sheriff of Oxfordshire to deliver 20 of land of the estate of Thomas de Arden in that county"[658]. The corresponding document which records the command has not been found (it may be in the Close Rolls for the reign of King John, which have not yet been consulted) so it has not been possible to verify whether it specifies the king´s relationship to Osbert Giffard. Without that document, the proof of Osbert´s existence is therefore sparse. Wrottesley assumes that the following document refers to the king´s illegitimate son: "Osbto Giffard" witnessed the charter dated 4 Jul 1216 under which King John granted land to "Salom fil Lesholm de Dovr"[659]. Numerous other documents from King John´s reign name an Osbert Giffard and there appears to be no basis for assuming that the 4 Jul 1216 refers to a different person who was the king´s son. Matthew Paris records the death in 1245 of "Osberti Giffard", without specifying his parentage[660]. Presumably this entry refers to the other Osbert Giffard (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY).]
11. [GILBERT de Bolum (-after 1245). Matthew Paris records the death in 1245 of "Osberti Giffard, Walteri filii Gilberti de Bolum, fratris eius"[661]. This text suggests that Gilbert de Bolum was the brother of Osbert Giffard. If Osbert´s parentage is correctly stated in the present document, Gilbert could have been another illegitimate son of King John (unless they were uterine brothers only). However, it is possible that this document refers to the other Osbert Giffard who was a member of the main Giffard family (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY).] m ---. The name of Gilbert´s wife is not known. Gilbert & his wife had one child: a) WALTER (-1245). Matthew Paris records the death in 1245 of "Osberti Giffard, Walteri filii Gilberti de Bolum, fratris eius"[662].
12. JOHN (-[1242]). Given-Wilson & Curteis name John as an illegitimate son of King John and add that he was "perhaps a clerk at Lincoln, where he was being supported by the custodians of that see in 1201"[663]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. Weir names him "John FitzJohn or Courcy...a knight" and states that he died in 1242[664]. King John sent "fidelem nostrum Regin de Pontibus" to "abbati Belli Loci fri Alan Martell et Magro Arii" to return "de equis nostris de Ricardo filio nostro et de Johanna filia nostra...cum Andr et Elya de Bello Campo et de filio nostro Johe" by charter dated 19 Jun 1214[665].
13. EUDO FitzRoy (-after 1240). King Henry III granted "terram...in Audebir que fuit Willelmi de Abrincis" to "Eudoni filio regis" dated 21 Apr 1233[666].
14. HENRY Fitzroy (-after 16 Sep 1242). Henry III King of England conscripted "…Henricus filius Regis…" for service "in Wasconiam" dated 17 Mar 1226[667]. He received land in Cornwall and married a minor heiress[668]. "Henry the king´s brother" was granted "land late of Henry de la Vaugoz, a Norman…in the soke of Waltham", dated 16 Jul 1230[669]. King Henry III forgave "Henrico filio Regis" scutage from "honore de Gloucestrie de comitatu Devonensi" held "in dotem Eve uxoris sue", dated 16 Sep 1242[670]. m EVE, daughter of --- (-after 16 Sep 1242). King Henry III forgave "Henrico filio Regis" scutage from "honore de Gloucestrie de comitatu Devonensi" held "in dotem Eve uxoris sue", dated 16 Sep 1242[671].
15. BARTHOLOMEW (-after 28 May 1253). Pope Innocent IV granted dispensation to "Bartholomew of the order of Friars Preachers, papal chaplain, brother of King Henry, being an illegitimate son of King John to minister in orders", dated 28 Dec 1252[672]. Pope Innocent IV appointed "Bartholomew a Friar Preacher, the king´s kinsman to be a papal chaplain", dated 28 May 1253[673].
16. [RICHARD . Constable of Wallingford Castle 1216. Given-Wilson & Curteis say that he "might possibly have been a different man from the lord of Dover"[674]. On the other hand, he may have been the same person as Richard Earl of Cornwall who was later frequently associated with Wallingford Castle. Henry III King of England issued a notice to "Ricardo filio Regis, fratri suo et Engelardo de Cigony" respecting a grant to "Radulfo Harang" dated 10 May 1217[675]. It is not known whether this entry relates to Richard of Chilham or to this Richard.]
17. [MATILDA (-after 1247, bur Barking). Dugdale´s Monasticon names "Maud natural daughter of King John" was appointed abbess of Barking in 1247[676]. A manuscript (presumably dated to the 15th century) which lists the abbesses of Barking "depuis la fundacion del Hospital de Illeford" names "Matildis filia regis" as successor of "Mabilia de Bosham"[677]. An earlier primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Abbess of Barking, Essex. A manuscript (presumably dated to the 15th century) records the burials of the abbesses of Barking and includes "Dame Maud la file le Roy John qe gist en la chapele de Salue"[678].]
18. [ISABELLA la Blanche . Given-Wilson & Curteis name "Isabel la Blanche" as a "doubtful" illegitimate child of King John[679]. The primary source which confirms her possiible parentage has not yet been identified.]
19. [--- . Assuming that "nepos" in the source quoted below can be translated as "nephew", one of Andrew´s parents was an illegitimate child of King John.] m ---. One child:
20. [son . The precise parentage of Roger, named below, has not been traced. It is assumed that "nephew" in the extract quoted below is a translation of "nepos". Although the imprecision of that term is notorious, the mention of both King Henry and of his brother Richard in order to define the relationship does suggest that one of his parents may have been their sibling, presumably illegitimate, otherwise the mention of both would seem superfluous in the document. As Roger himself is recorded as being illegitimate, it appears more likely that his relationship with the royal family was on his father´s side of the family as the king´s sister having an illegitimate child would surely have been an event of such scandalous proportions at the time as to have justified reporting in chronicles.

John Lackland, King of England's Timeline
December 24, 1166
Beaumont Palace, Oxford, England
Born at Beaumont Palace, Oxford, John was the fifth son and last of eight children born to Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Some authors, noting Henry's stay at Woodstock, near Oxford, with Eleanor in March 1166, assert that John was born in that year, and not 1167.[4][5]
John was a younger maternal half-brother of Marie de Champagne and Alix of France, his mother's children by her first marriage to Louis VII of France, which was later annulled. He was a younger brother of William, Count of Poitiers; Henry the Young King; Matilda, Duchess of Saxony; Richard I of England; Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany; Leonora, Queen of Castile; and Joan, Queen of Sicily
