Topic: Viana, Spain


  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Spain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The geographical boundaries of Spain are: on the north, the Pyrenees, the Republic of Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay (known in Spain as Mar Cantabrico, or "Cantabrian Sea"); on the east, the Mediterranean; on the south, the Mediterranean, the Straits of Gibraltar and the Atlantic; on the west, Portugal and the Atlantic.
Spain was formed by the coalition of various states, which for many centuries had kept their own names and boundaries, and had differed considerably in laws (the fueros), customs, characteristics, and methods of government.
The chief concordats with Spain are: that of 1737 (Clement XII and Philip V); 1752 (Benedict XIV and Ferdinand VI); 1851 (Pius IX and Isabel II).

 Spanish monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spanish monarchy, referred to as the Crown of Spain (Corona de España) in the Spanish Constitution of 1978, is the office of the King or Queen of Spain.
The Heir Apparent of the Spanish Monarchy receives the titles Prince of Asturias, Prince of Gerona and Prince of Viana, Asturias being on behalf of kingdom of Castile, Gerona on behalf of kingdom of Aragon, and Viana, a disputed title, on behalf of kingdom of Navarre.
It was then that the concept of "The Spains" (referring to the different kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula) started to be used—which makes Philip II in a sense the first king of Spain.

 4 ATROPOS
For some months after his arrival in Spain, Cesare was confined in the prison of Chinchilla, whence-as a result, it is said, of an attempt on his part to throw the governor bodily over the battlements-he was removed to the fortress of Medina del Campo, and kept well guarded by orders of the Pope.
True, he had gone to offer himself to Spain as a condottiero when naught else was left to him; but he took no army with him-he went alone, a servant, not an ally, as that false letter pretends.
The Castle of Viana was being held by Louis de Beaumont-chief of the faction that bore his name-and refused to surrender to the king.

Viana enjoyed a great start to last season, even forcing his way back into the full Portuguese national squad, only to fall away disappointingly.
He was pushed down the pecking order for a midfield spot at Sporting largely due to the emergence of the brilliant João Moutinho, and fellow under-21 internationals Carlos Martins and Custódio, and his hopes of a permanent move to the Lisbon club were scuppered by the size of the transfer fee.
Nevertheless, Viana refuses to be negative as he resumes his career on Tyneside, and is aiming to persuade his new manager Graeme Souness that he has a big role to play in the team.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Isabella I
For a year before this, Isabella had been living at Segovia, apart from the court, which resided at Toledo; after the conclusion of the pact she was at odds with her brother, the king on account of his plan for her marriage.
To protect its normal unity, an edict was issued three months later (31 March) expelling from Spain the Jews (170,000 to 180,000 souls), whose cities had admitted the Mussulman invaders in the eighth century, and who constituted a perpetual danger to the independence and security of the nation.
Isabella was no less the patroness of the great Cisneros in the reformation of the monasteries of Spain, a work which he accomplished under the authority of Alexander VI given by the Brief of March, 1493, and which anticipated the reform afterwards executed throughout the whole Church.
