| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Portugal |
| | The reign of Pedro (1683-1706) is marked by the discovery of gold in Brazil, by the signature of the Methuen Treaty with England, and by the participation of Portugal in the War of the Spanish Succession, when an Anglo-Portuguese army entered Madrid. | | | The citizens appealed to the pope against this violence, and Honorius condemned it, and charged the superiors of the Dominicans and Franciscans to see that the practice was discontinued. | | | The energy he displayed at the time of the great earthquaque of 1755 confirmed his hold over the king, and with royal support he was able to use the alleged "Tavora Conspiracy" to humble the nobility and to continue the campaign he was directing against the Jesuits, whom he was determined to master. |

| | Alfred the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Alfred is thus credited with a significant degree of civil re-organization, especially in the districts ravaged by the Danes. | | | Alfred died six nights before "All-Hallows Mass-day," in the year 901, in the fifty-third year of his age; prematurely, if years be alone reckoned, but full of desert and honour. | | | Alfred's care for the administration of justice is testified both by history and legend; and the title "protector of the poor" was his by unquestioned right. |

| | Subdivisions of England |
| | These are districts of a non-metropolitan county (Berkshire) which has had its county council abolished. | | | Most of the proposed changes would have required no change in the administrative counties of England, as they could have been be implemented by merging districts and abolition of the county council. | | | Non-unitary authorities are administrative counties with a two-tier structure, consisting of a county council and a number of district councils. |

| | unitary authority |
| | Following the review of local government structure by the Local Government Commission set up by the Local Government Act 1992, the counties of Avon, Cleveland, and Humberside, their districts, and the district of York City were abolished, and 13 unitary authorities were created in their place. | | | The act also abolished the counties and their districts in Wales, creating 22 unitary authorities in their place from 1996, and abolished the regional councils and their districts in Scotland, creating 29 new unitary authorities from 1996, making a total of 32. | | | Since 1996 the two-tier structure of local government has ceased to exist in Scotland and Wales, and in some parts of England, and has been replaced by unitary authorities, responsible for all local government services. |

| | Administrative counties of England |
| | This scrapped the concept of unitary authorities (even for existing county boroughs) — the entire area of England and Wales was to be divided into uniform counties and districts. | | | The districts of Berkshire are unitary authorities, but are not granted county status. | | | The report proposed that most of England the two-tier structure be abolished, and replaced with a system of 58 unitary authories, which would generally ignore the previous administrative boundaries in favour of changes that made geographic sense - a total redrawing of the map. |

| | The shires which had submitted were free from the terror of his own presence, and the presence in his train of the Earls of northern and central England left the still-independent districts to their own devices. | | | He had shown favour and honour to all who had not personally sinned against him; the noblest men of England had been chosen as his companions in his voyage, and they were now the objects of wonder and admiration to his subjects beyond the sea. | | | And as his presence in Normandy was certainly politic, his absence from England may have been politic also. |

| | Adding to the mix were large Jewish and Orthodox Christian districts, and with the constant flow of traders and other travelers (as well as visiting scholars like Abdullah al Idrisi), the city's polyglot population was nothing if not ecletic. | | | That Joan of England never produced a surviving heir to the Sicilian throne is historically significant because it heralded the effective end of the Hauteville dynasty of Norman kings of Sicily. | | | Despite a few surprising similarities, Palermo and Sicily were very different from London and England, and this cannot but have made an impact on Joan and her suite of ladies-in-waiting, accustomed to the lifestyle --and even the flora and fauna-- of England and northwestern France. |
