Burledge Hillfort
Burledge Hillfort

There are numerous Iron Age hillforts and ancient settlements in Somerset, a ceremonial county in South West England. Somerset is a rural county of rolling hills, such as the Mendip Hills, the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park, and large flat expanses of land including the Somerset Levels. Some locations were later reused in the Dark Ages, such as Cadbury Castle, Worlebury Camp and Ham Hill. Other hillforts, such as Small Down Knoll, Solsbury Hill, Dolebury Warren and Burledge Hill (pictured), may have had a domestic purpose as well as a defensive role. In addition to the hillforts, several sites have been identified as settlements during the pre-Roman period, including Cambria Farm and the "Lake Villages" at Meare and Glastonbury, which were built on a morass, on an artificial foundation of timber filled with brushwood, bracken, rubble and clay.

Portrait of the Jiajing Emperor (r. 1521–1567)

The emperors of the Ming dynasty ruled over China proper from 1368 to 1644 during the late imperial era of China (960–1912). Members of the Ming dynasty continued to rule a series of rump states in southern China, commonly known as the Southern Ming, until 1662; the Ming dynasty succeeded the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty and preceded the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. The Ming dynasty was founded by the peasant rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang, known as the Hongwu Emperor. All Ming emperors were of the House of Zhu. The longest-reigning emperor of the dynasty was the Wanli Emperor (r. 1572–1620), who ruled for 48 years; the shortest was his successor, the Taichang Emperor, who ruled for only 29 days in 1620. The emperor of the Ming dynasty, following a practice established in the Zhou dynasty, was known as the "Son of Heaven". He was viewed as the intermediary between humans and heaven and was responsible for conducting numerous rituals to honor the supreme deities who safeguarded the empire. (Full list...)
