Explanation:
1- The Norman conquest of England began in 1066 with the Norman Duke William's army invading the Kingdom of England. The Normans initially won the Battle of Hastings. The subsequent successful conquest of the British Isles was a significant and groundbreaking event in British history. It removed the former ruling class and replaced it with a French-speaking military and ecclesiastical upper class. This led to a decisive and lasting change of language and culture in England. By placing England under rulers originating in France, England also gained a stronger connection to the continent, which replaced the former Scandinavian contact. It also led to significant British involvement in power over France. The conquest had consequences for the British Isles as a whole, as they opened up for a Norman invasion of Wales and Ireland, as well as for a widespread penetration of the Scottish aristocracy by Norman and other French-speaking families, and the introduction of a feudal system in the south of Scotland.
2- The Caliphate of Cordova was a Sunni Muslim state whose territories included the Iberian Peninsula (al-Andalus of the Muslims) and part of North Africa. Its capital was the city of Cordoba. Its period of existence was characterized by astonishing successes in the cultural and commercial field.
It lasted until 1031, when after years of internal conflict, it disintegrated into a series of independent kingdoms. Despite its political divisions into different states, Iberian Islamic culture continued until 1492, when its last foothold, the Alhambra in Granada, was officially surrendered to the Christians, marking the end of the Reconquista period in Iberian Peninsula.
The martyrdom of Saint Sebastian is one of the most enduring themes in Western religious art.The execution scene so often portrayed - with the Saint transfixed with arrows - is based on thelegend about his life and death during the reign of the Roman emperor, Diocletian. However, it isthe symbolic association of arrows with the Black Death - during the Middle Ages and during theRenaissance - which identifies Sebastian as the patron saint of plague victims. After more than fourcenturies of recurrent epidemics, the plague died out in Europe; but the image of St Sebastiancontinued to inspire artists until the end of the 19th century.
