HUNGARY: The Arpadian & Angevin Interregnum (1301-1307)
|
|
|
|
Upon the death of Andrew III (1290-1301) and the extinction of the Arpadian dynasty, the throne was claimed by Wenceslaus (age 11), son of Wenceslaus II Premyslid, king of Bohemia, and also by Charles Robert (age 13), son of Charles II of Anjou, king of Naples and Sicily. They both had Arpadian blood: Wenceslaus' great-grandmother was a daughter of Bela IV (1235-1270) and Charles Robert's grandmother was a daughter of Ladislaus IV (1272-1290). Charles Robert prevailed in the factional warfare that ensued, and Wenceslaus renounced the throne in favor of Otto of Wittelsbach, Duke of Bavaria, whose grandmother was a daughter of Bela IV. Otto was expelled in 1307, leaving Charles Robert the uncontested king.

HUNGARY: The Angevin Dynasty - Maria (1382-1387/1395)
|
|
|
|
Maria was the oldest surviving daughter of King Louis I (1342-1382) and Elizabeth of Bosnia. Her marriage to Sigismund of Luxembourg was arranged before her first birthday. When Louis died in September 1382 without a son, Mary (then age 11-12) was crowned "king." Elizabeth assumed the regency. The majority of Hungary's nobility, however, objected to a female sovereign. viewing Maria's distant Angevin cousin, Charles III of Naples, as the rightful king. To strengthen Maria's position, Elizabeth engaged Maria to Louis, the younger brother of the king of France, who had been engaged to Maria's deceased older sister. Charles invaded Hungary in September 1385. Sigismund followed and persuaded Elizabeth to marry Maria to him. He was not crowned or given a role in government, and was unable to prevent Charles from occupying Buda. Fearing for her life, Maria renounced the throne. Charles was crowned king, but weeks later, in February 1386, was assassinated by Elizabeth. Maria was restored with Elizabeth again as regent. That July, supporters of Charles' son captured Maria and Elizabeth (who was executed). During her captivity, the Hungarian Diet declared Sigismund regent, crowning him in March 1387. Maria was liberated in July. She nominally co-ruled, with Sigismund, until her death in labor, precipitated by a fall from a horse in a hunting accident, in 1395.

Australia, Tasmania, New Town: Reuben JosephsAndrews 310, Renniks 310, KM Tn140
½ penny token , copper; dated 1855 and minted by Heaton and Sons of Birmingham, England per Renniks or W.J. Taylor of London, England per Museums Victoria Collection website (which states that the corresponding penny token was minted by Heaton and Sons). 28.0 mm., 0°
Obv.: Tollgate with associated building, NEW TOWN TOLLGATE / * R. JOSEPHS *,
Rev.: Blindfolded personification of Justice seated holding scale in right hand and inverted overflowing cornucopia in left hand, wine barrel behind her, three-masted sailing ship on the horizon to the left, VAN DIEMAN’S LAND above and 1855 below
Reuben Josephs (1790-1862) was a tailor who sold old clothes from a warehouse in London until 1827, when he was convicted of receiving stolen goods, sentenced to fourteen years transportation and sent to Van Diemen’s Land (later renamed Tasmania). His wife emigrated to Tasmania and purchased two blocks of land at New Norfolk. Reuben was assigned to be her servant, and they started a business. He was granted a ticket of leave in 1833, a conditional pardon in 1836, and his certificate of freedom in 1841. After his wife died in 1844, he moved to Liverpool Street in Hobart. In 1852 he won the tender to operate the New Town toll gate for three years. He married Rachel Levien in Hobart in 1856.
In documents of the Hobart Hebrew Congregation, Reuben Josephs was listed as a contributor to the fund for the construction of the Hobart Synagogue, and as a “seatholder” (financial member) of the Congregation starting in 1852. He was buried in the Jewish section of the Old Hobart Cemetery.

Australia, Tasmania: Lewis AbrahamsAndrews 2, Renniks 2, Grey 2, KM Tn6
½ penny token , copper; dated 1855 and minted by Heaton and Sons of Birmingham, England. 27.5 mm., 0°
Obv.: LEWIS ABRAHAMS / DRAPER / LIVERPOOL STREET / HOBART TOWN
Rev.: Emu facing right and kangaroo facing left, TASMANIA above and 1855 BELOW
Although there is no listing in the Archives Office of Tasmania Pioneer's Database for a Lewis Abrahams, records show that he occupied a house and garden at 19 Bathurst Street in Hobart Town in 1835, and was then in partnership with a certain H.C. Davis in a shop at 102 Liverpool Street. This token indicates that in 1855 he was operating without Davis as a draper on Liverpool Street. It appears that Davis withdrew from the partnership and Abrahams carried on alone.
Abrahams is listed as a contributor to the fund for the construction of the Hobart Synagogue in 1844-1845, and as a “seatholder” (financial member) of the Hobart Hebrew Congregation for some time during the period 1852-1877. He was married in the Hobart Synagogue in December 1855. He died in Hobart in 1860.

Jewish Lads' BrigadeAE medal; 29.30 mm. diameter, 3.13 mm. thick, 0°
Obv.: Mounted officer inspecting rank of cadets, flag behind bearing Hebrew inscription, most likely, "They go from strength to strength" (the Brigade's motto, taken from the 84th Psalm).
Rev.: • THE • JEWISH • LADS’ • BRIGADE • / LEWIS • EMANUEL • MEDAL, around rim, large JLB within a laurel wreath in center.
Modelled on the Church Lads' and Church Girls' Brigade, the Jewish Lads’ Brigade was formed in 1895 by Colonel Albert E. W. Goldsmid, a British Jewish Army officer, to provide activities for children of the poor Jewish immigrants who flooded into the UK, predominantly from Eastern Europe. Girls were admitted to membership in the 1963 (as the Jewish Girls' Brigade) and in 1974 the JLB and JGB amalgamated to become the Jewish Lads’ and Girls’ Brigade.
The Lewis Emanuel Medal was given for at least four passes in the Proficiency Badge Scheme. This medal appears to have been struck without the bezel (the rim is smooth with no indication of filing) by which the medal hung from a ribbon when presented in the Proficiency Badge Scheme.Stkp
