 John Parricida - History Wiki - A Wikia wiki
John Parricida (1290 - 1312/3) was a son of Duke Rudolph II of Austria and Styria.
His father had been forced to surrender his share of the rule of Austria and Styria to King Albert I by the Treaty of Rheinfelden in 1283, and thus he was denied his rightful inheritance as his father had died in 1290.
John escaped from Albert's vengeful sons, and eventually came to a monastery in Pisa.

 Capital Punishment
In this limited sense there seems no impropriety in Catiline being called parricida, with reference to his country; and the dictator Ceasar's death might be called a parricidium (the crime of parricide), considering the circumstances under which the name was given (Suet., Caes., c.
If the original meaning of parricida be what Festus says, it may be doubted whether the etymology of the word (pater and caedo) is correct; for it appears that paricida or parricida meant murderer generally, and afterwards the murderer of certain persons in a near relationship.
His friend, G. Williams, writing to him of the condemnation of a man named John Wesket (9 Jan., 1765) for robbery in the house of his master, the Earl of Harrington, says: "Harrington's porter was condemned yesterday.

 On Pound and Sigismondo Malatesta
Historians in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had long portrayed the Renaissance as an age unrivaled in its patrons, neglecting the link between political power and cultural display that fostered the practice of the Renaissance courts and assimilating their activity to post-Kantian ideals of aesthetic disinterestedness.
Two years later, in March 1925, when Pound was approached by Henry Allen Moe of the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation about candidates for its newly created awards, Pound launched into a thirty-page letter extolling patronage and urging the merits of Wyndham Lewis, T. Eliot, and George Antheil as potentially worthy recipients.
As he would write to John Drummond in February 1932: "Don't knock Mussolini, at least not until you have weighed up the obstacles and necessities of the time.

At this point Schiller added a scene which is extraneous to the action: Duke Johannes of Swabia, called Parricida in the play, has assassinated the Austrian emperor Ferdinand for withholding his inheritance.
Tell stoutly denies any resemblance between them but gives assistance when he sees that Parricida is remorseful and wants to expiate his crime.
This scene has often been criticized as gratuitous and out of harmony with the rest of the play, and it is almost always omitted when the play is performed.

 “Spanish comedias in Nahuatl: An interdisciplinary Search for Meanings Lost and Found in Translation
These translations into Nahuatl, plus an earlier, anonymous translation of a Spanish play that Louise Burkhart has studied, are unique documents, in that they are the only instance of early-modern, American plays for which we can identify a Spanish original.
The pageant also brings on a chorus of Africans who speak in the habla de negros that John Buesterien has recently catalogued, after which a chorus of gypsies offers their words and songs of homage.
Of course, this scene will be fascinating to study in the months ahead, as Nahuas displayed a strong sense of themselves as the superior, metropolitan civilization vis-à-vis other Mesoamerican groups and even Spaniards (Sell, electronic mail communication, 26 February 2001).
