Danish Viking Clan

Beginning in the 8th century, the Danes began a long era of well-organized
raids across the coasts and rivers of Europe. Large areas outside Scandinavia
were settled by the Danes including what became know as the Danelaw in England,
the Netherlands, northern France and Ireland. Two Viking warriors from the same
clan separated for more than 1000 years and have finally been reunited at the
Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.
Danelaw was established as an area ruled by Vikings and extended across
much of England. A group of fairly young Viking warriors was found here buried
in a mass grave near the church where they had been killed by orders from King
Aethelred II, King of the English. The warrior hilighted here was in his 20s and
died from injuries to his head. He had sustained 8 to 10 hits to the head and
several stab wounds to the spine.

Jean-Paul Marat - Revolutionary France

The future French Revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat left home at the age of 16
to train in medicine and would eventually settle in Newcastle upon Tyne where he
gained a reputation as being a highly efficient doctor who also had an interest
in political writings. He moved back France 6 years later and his medical skills
earned him the patronage of the aristocracy. He used his new found wealth to
found a scientific laboratory where he began studies on fire, heat, light and
electricity - he was even visited by Benjamin Franklin. Despite his new status
and success, he began so spend a lot of time discussing and writing about social
injustice.
As Louis XVI struggled to maintain power in the late 1780s by assembling
the Estates-General for the first time in 175 years, Marat decided to end his
research and medical profession to focus entirely on his passion for politics.
He began writing on the topics of social, economic and religious reforms - this
manifested itself in numerous vicious attacks on those he proclaimed were
enemies of the people. His newspaper called for extreme violence against the
upper class and government provoking statements such as five or six hundred
heads cut off would have assured your repose, freedom and happiness. After
reaching fame, He was elected to the National Convention in 1792 where he
actively supported the death of the deposed King in a trial.

Ludwig van Beethoven

In December 1770 Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn at Bonngasse 20 and
baptized with the name of his famous grandfather - a successful musician from
Flemish Belgium - and he was given this name in hopes to surpass his famous
ancestor. Recognizing he had a prodigy his hands, Ludwigs father Johan van
Beethoven tried to present his talented son at his first show at the age of 7.
His father pushed him hard and would wake him in the middle of the night to
practice his music. By the age of 16 Beethoven was employed as court organist in
Bonn by the brother of Emperor Josef of Vienna. The same year he visited Vienna,
met Mozart and returned home shortly before his mother died. His father become
an alcoholic and forced to retire from his job in service of the Court. Ludwig
was forced into adulthood, making real money and had to take care of his two
younger brothers. In 1792 at the age of 21 Beethoven arrives in Vienna - the
cultural capital - a city overflowing with music in hopes to expand his future.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had died just the year before and the great composer
Haydn was ageing - destiny had prepared a place for Beethoven. Music is
everywhere - and in less than a year he creates a big name for himself.
Beethoven catches the attention of the famous composer Haydn who is amazed at
the young talent who arrived from Bonn and begins studying with him.
One of the most important things for Beethoven was making contact with the
aristocrats - who hosted concerts in their palaces on a weekly basis. They would
meet regularly and host the best musicians of the town. He would seek sponsors
who would let him make music the way he wanted rather than what was expected of
him. Aristocratic patrons such as Joseph Franz von Lobkowitz around the same age
as Beethoven would seek fun in their palaces and inviting a wild child like
Beethoven made life exciting. These patrons were critical for Beethovens
finances. However by his mid 20s Beethoven noticed his hearing was disappearing.
He had to site closer and closer to the stage to hear the notes and music. This
began with the high frequency notes such as piccolos, flutes and top of the
violin while maintaining the lower frequencies. This would distort what he was
hearing. He became isolated from conversations and began avoiding people. Losing
hearing, the one important element of his senses was the cruelest form of
torture. This is when he wrote his famous Moonlight Sonata as the music
reflected his own mortality. The ideas came faster to him than he could digest
them - he changed the course of music. He stood between 2 generations - one foot
firmly ground in Mozart / enlightenment and Goethe. His other part was a member
of romanticism - he transformed music from enlightenment into romanticism.
