“We heard of the horns in the hills ringing,
the swords shining in the South-kingdom.
Steeds went striding to the Stoningland
as wind in the morning. War was kindled.” ~Tolkien

Whatever battle you are going in to, do it in style. Let fly your banners, sound your trumpets and shout your battle cry for all to hear! Let your foe know who they face.

The Trinity Hospital, Leicester was founded in 1331 by the then Earl of Lancaster and Leicester as an almshouse for fifty poor and infirm persons. In 1653 the Leicester Corporation gave the hospital a great cauldron for cooking pottage. The cauldron, known as ‘The Porridge Pot’ is still there.

The old building was taken over by De Montfort University and the Trinity Hospital opened a new home just down the road. The mosaic was commissioned as a visual link between the old and new buildings.

Half swording is still one of my absolute favorite technique. Although I’m not good at it, it is very rewarding when I get to pull it off…after getting stabbed 10 times…HAHAHA

The Cholas are remembered as one of the longest ruling dynasties in the southern regions of India.The temples and literature of this time still serve testimony to this period of history.

Origin of the Chola Dynasty

The reign of the Cholas began in the 9th century when they defeated the Pallavas to come into power.This rule stretched over for over five long centuries until the 13th century.The Early periods of the Chola rule saw the onset of the Sangam literature.The medieval period was the era of absolute power and development for the Cholas. From here Rajaraj Chola and Rajendra Chola further expanded the kingdom into the Tamil region.This magnificence lasted until the arrival of the Pandyas in the early 13th century.

Some prominent pillars of the Chola Empire

The Chola Empire was founded by Vijayalaya.He took over the Tanjore kingdom in the 8th century and led to the rise of the mighty Cholas by defeating the Pallavas. Tanjore was hence made the first capital of the eminent Chola Empire.
