5. Empress Matilda’s escape
Empress MatildaIn the autumn of 1142, Empress Matilda was besieged in Oxford Castle by soldiers loyal to her cousin Stephen. A battle, labelled ‘The Anarchy’, was raging across the country for the crown of England. Stephen, grandson of William the Conqueror and Matilda, his cousin, both laid claim to the crown and took it in turns to lay siege to one another’s strongholds. The siege at Oxford Castle lasted for three months.
Matilda’s epic escape came one freezing snowy night in December, when according to legend, she wrapped herself in a white cape and fled on makeshift ice skates across the ice to Wallingford Castle. A truce was decided to end the battle, with Matilda agreeing that Stephen could keep the throne as long as her son Henry became his heir. Suspiciously, Stephen died not long after this agreement was forged, allowing King Henry II to take the throne.

7. John Gerard
John Gerard is the only person ever known to have escaped from the notorious Tower of London. A Jesuit priest, Gerard was imprisoned for continuing to preach his Catholic beliefs when the church was under heavy persecution from Elizabethan England. During his imprisonment, he endured several interrogations, often being tortured for information. He never broke, but was eventually sentenced to death for his “crimes”. Desperate to escape, Gerard communicated with allies on the outside via smuggled notes written in invisible ink made from orange juice. These allies rowed a boat into the Tower’s moat and Gerard was able to escape by using a rope thrown up to him. Cheating death after almost falling because of his tortured hands, Gerard managed to climb down to the boat, flee England and live the rest of his life in Rome.

These monikers who take delight in promoting hate speech, ethnic bigotry should refrain or risk been banned. The mods should closely monitor these monikers and many others because they have deviated in standard practice in nairaland. They shouldn't be allowed to hold sway to their activities here.

These monikers and many others should be monitored closely. They spew hate without thinking of tomorrow. The moderators should ensure that they are placed on watchlist.

Kunleweb i used to respect you. Don't spoil it with your loose words

ImaIma1:
Their egos are their undoing. Very annoying.

I remember a guy inviting me for a date years back. He came by public transport and i drove. Can you imagine that the guy refused to enter the car for me to drive him down the road. He said we should trek instead...in the hot sun.

If he had known that i would drive, i bet he would have cancelled the date. Big ego problem

MissJoy29:
True it's a turn off for ladies but what isn't good for one shouldn't be good for the other.

Besides, who says I'm not having fun too.
