Originally the game was played on sheep-grazed land using wool balls, sticks or farm tools as bats, and stools, tree stumps or gates as wickets.

Freemasonry 201 the lost treasure of the knights templarColinJxxx
The document discusses a theory that the fabled treasure of the Knights Templar, which went missing in the 14th century after the order was suppressed, may be buried on Oak Island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Extensive excavation efforts over two centuries have found booby traps and tunnels designed to flood the excavation site with water, suggesting the treasure is well protected. The Knights Templar had the means, motive and engineering skills to construct such an elaborate system, and may have buried the treasure on Oak Island before fleeing persecution.
Feudalism developed in medieval Europe as a political and economic system in response to invasions and weak kings. It involved the division of land among lords in a hierarchy, with lesser lords pledging loyalty and service to greater lords in exchange for protection. Peasants worked the land of the lords in exchange for protection and a small plot to farm. Serfs were bound to the land and made up most of the population.
The passage describes medieval European society and the emergence of feudalism. Peasants worked lands owned by lords in exchange for protection, and serfs were bound to the land. In response to invasions and weak kings, a system of feudalism developed where greater lords divided their lands among lesser lords who pledged loyalty in exchange. Warfare was common and many boys trained from a young age to become knights.

The Anglo-Saxon period in Britain lasted from 449 to 1066 AD. This was a time of invasion and settlement, as Germanic tribes from mainland Europe, including the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, migrated to Britain and established kingdoms after the withdrawal of the Roman legions in the early 5th century. The Anglo-Saxons introduced their language and culture, and Britain was gradually converted to Christianity over the course of the period. Various outside threats challenged Anglo-Saxon rule at different points, including the Vikings from the late 8th century and the Norman conquest of 1066, which marked the end of the Anglo-Saxon era.

The navigator we call Columbus never used such a name in his life. On his sigla, on letters and documents written in his hand, he always used a different form, which Dr. da Silva will prove is in fact from Portugal. This fascinating and thorough presentation lays the groundwork for future presentations in which Dr. da Silva will prove that the Portuguese were early explorers to North America and that this is one way Columbus knew where he was going in 1492.
