Poet. Born

was always a study in contrasts, a melancholy satirist, an aristocratic champion
of the common man, handsome and adored but obsessed with a small personal
deformity. He fled England to escape scandal and a failed marriage and died of
fever in 1824. His natural gift for poetry was the only consistency in his
troubled life. Yet even during his own lifetime, his personal life overshadowed
his work. (Bio by: Dario Pejic)

アウシュヴィッツ)は、オーストリアのヴァイオリニスト。父親はルーマニア出身のユダヤ人、アルノルト・ロゼーで母親はマーラーの妹ユスティーネ。両親ともにユダヤ系であったため、ナチス政権によってアウシュヴィッツ=ビルケナウ強制収容所に送致されたが、そこで囚人オーケストラを編成して指揮をし、囚われの音楽家が少しでも生き延びられるように図った。オーケストラの職務は朝と夕方にメインゲートで演奏をして囚人の送迎をすることであった。オーケストラは囚人とSSのために週末コンサートを開き、SSの職務をもてなした。ロゼはオーケストラの指揮者として、平均的な収容者を遙かに超える特権ともてなしを与えられた。ほかの収容者より多くの食事と個室も与えられたことや、メンバーが病気になったときは診察してもらえた。これはアウシュビッツの囚人に対する処遇としては、前代未聞のものであった。彼女はオーケストラを指揮し、時にヴァイオリンのソロも演奏した。彼女はマリア・マンデル・ヨーゼフ・クラマーやヨーゼフ・メンゲレなどに尊敬された。ロゼの最終的な関心はオーケストラの女性達の福祉を守ることにあった。彼女の在職中のオーケストラのメンバーに死者がいないということが彼女の成功の証しとなっている。1944年に死亡。死因は食中毒と推定されている。1932年には女性楽団員のみのオーケストラも結成。

ゲイリー・ムーア(Robert William Gary Moore, 1952年4月4日 -
2011年2月6日[1])は、北アイルランド出身のロック・ギタリスト、歌手、作曲家。1974年のシン・リジィ参加でメジャーになり、以降1980年代はヘヴィメタル、フュージョン等を中心に、1990年代以降はブルースを軸に活躍。
演奏スタイルはブルースをベースに、コロシアムII時代に培われたジャズ、フュージョンのほかクラシカルなフィーリングも加わり、驚異の速さ、正確さを兼ね備えている。影響を受けたギタリスト達のスタイルをそのまま再現できる腕前から“巧すぎるギタリスト”、またマシンガンのようなピッキングによる速弾きから“ギタークレイジー”と形容されていたが、彼の魅力が最も発揮されるのはバラードにおける泣きのギターであろう。ギターを泣かせることにおいては最高峰のひとりに挙げられ、時代や流行に左右されない頑固一徹ぶりもあり、ジャーナリストの伊藤政則からは“人間国宝”と形容されている。

1016年)。「エゼルレッド無思慮王」、「エゼルレッド無策王」(Ethelred the Unready)とも称される。
エゼルレッドはデーン人に対する懸念から、国内のデーン人を虐殺した。このことは、当時のデンマーク王スヴェン1世の反発を招き、デーン人の侵入を激化させることになった。イングランドの国内勢力をまとめ上げることもかなわず、ついに1013年、デーン人の攻撃に屈して姻戚関係にあったノルマンディーへの亡命を余儀なくされた。デーン人に国を奪われたために後世「無思慮王」と呼ばれ、歴代のイングランド王の中でもジョン王と並ぶ暗君と言われ続けた。

●ウィリアム1世 William
I 1027頃〜87 ノルマン朝初代のイングランド王。在位1066〜87年。征服王。ノルマン朝を開いて現在のイギリス王室の開祖となった。ノルマンディ公ロベール1世の庶子。従兄弟エドワード(懺悔王)の死にともなってイングランド王位の争奪がはじまると、エドワードの母がノルマンディ公の血縁だったこと、妻マティルダがフランドル伯の娘でアルフレッド大王の血筋であること、エドワード王やその義弟ウェセックス伯ハロルドがかつて自分に王位を約束したこと、などを理由にイングランド王位に名のりをあげた。しかし、ハロルドが王位についたため、1066年10月、ウィリアムは、ローマ教皇の支持をとりつけてイングランドに侵攻、ヘースティングズの戦でハロルドをやぶり、各地の抵抗をおさえながらロンドンに進軍&征服(ノルマン・コンクエスト)、クリスマスの日にウェストミンスターでイングランド王に即位した。国王に対する忠誠は直接の主君に対する忠誠にまさるというイギリス特有の先例をきずいた。イングランド教会に対する教皇の権限も大幅に縮小し、全国検地をおこなって、「ドゥームズデー・ブック」(土地台帳)にまとめさせた。1087年、フランス王フィリップ1世との戦争中、落馬して負傷し、ルーアンで死去した。ウィリアムは英語読みであるが、むしろフランス語読みのギヨーム(Guillaume)と呼ぶ方がふさわしいだろうという見解もある(彼自身はフランス出身であり、彼自身も周囲の人もフランス語を使っていたので)。彼の墓にはラテン語風にGUILLELMUSと綴られている。墓標はノルマンディーのカーンの聖エティエンヌ修道院。1066年にウィリアム征服王がウェストミンスター寺院で戴冠して以来、ここで戴冠式をとりおこなうのが慣例となっている。ウィリアム1世のイングランド征服の後、イングランドが外国軍によって征服されることはなく、後の王家は全てウィリアム1世の血統を受け継いだ。

ヘンリー8世 Henry
VIII 1491〜1547 在位1509〜47年。絶対王政を完成。英国国教会を創設。離婚をみとめない教皇クレメンス7世と対立してローマ・カトリック教会の支配をはなれ、生涯に6度結婚した。北フランスに遠征して勝利。妃キャサリン(スペイン王家出身)がメアリー(のちのメアリー1世)を生んだが男子の跡継ぎがそだたず、王妃の侍女で若い愛人アン・ブーリンは女児(のちのエリザベス1世)を出産した。ヘンリーはイングランドの国内問題に関する教皇の権限を否定し、イングランド国王は「イングランド教会の唯一最高の首長」であるとする「国王至上法」を議会に制定させ、イギリス国教会が成立。ヘンリーは「国王至上法」「王位継承法」をみとめる誓約を要求し、前の大法官トマス・モアやロチェスター司教フィッシャーはこれを拒否したため処刑された。ヘンリーは修道院を解散してその財産を没収した。この時期ヘンリーの政策を推進したのは、側近のトマス・クロムウェルだった。1536年、アン・ブーリンに姦通罪をかぶせて処刑し、数日後にジェーン・シーモアと3度目の結婚をしたが、嫡男エドワード(のちのエドワード6世)をうんですぐ死去した。40年にドイツのプロテスタント諸侯とのつながりを強めるため、クレーフェ公の娘アンと結婚したが、この政治同盟に利用価値がなくなると数カ月後に離婚。5人目の妻、キャサリン・ハワードを姦通罪で処刑し、翌年、6人目の妃キャサリン・パーをむかえた。宗教改革をさらにおしすすめようとするクロムウェルを処刑。イングランド王室史上最高のインテリであるとされ、ラテン語、スペイン語、フランス語を理解した。多くの本に注釈をつけ、自らも著作を行った。死去後、息子のエドワード6世が王位をついだ。

English monarch. The only son of Henry VIII, he was born at the Palace of

Edward was a sickly child, which prompted Henry to remarry three more times in
hopes of more heirs. There were no more children, and all of Henry's hopes were
pinned on the frail Edward. Despite his weakness, Edward was very well educated
and was a bright student. He spoke Latin by the age of seven, and later learned

Queen)。在位わずか9日間でメアリー1世により廃位され、その7か月後に大逆罪で斬首刑に処された。イギリス王室はジェーンを公式に歴代君主の一人に数えている。母方の祖母がヘンリー8世の妹でプロテスタントのメアリー・テューダーだったことがジェーンの王位継承権の根拠となった。エドワード6世が崩御すると、ノーサンバランド公は息子ギルフォードの妻ジェーンの即位を宣言したものの、陰謀を察知した(ブラッディ)メアリーが逃亡、9日後にサフォークでメアリーが即位を宣言、ジェーンと夫らが逮捕された。ジェーンはロンドン塔幽閉を経て、1554年2月12日、夫と共に斬首された。遺体は夫ギルフォードとセント・ピーター教会に葬られた。享年16歳。美人。
