Constantine the Great

Constantine the Great (Latin: Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus;Greek: Κωνσταντῖνος ὁ Μέγας; 27 February c. 272 AD – 22 May 337 AD), also known as Constantine I or Saint Constantine (in the Orthodox Church as Saint Constantine the Great, Equal-to-the-Apostles), was a Roman Emperor from 306 to 337 AD. Constantine was the son of Flavius Valerius Constantius, a Roman army officer, and his consort Helena. His father became Caesar, the deputy emperor in the west in 293 AD. Constantine was sent east, where he rose through the ranks to become a military tribune under the emperors Diocletian and Galerius. In 305, Constantius was raised to the rank of Augustus, senior western emperor, and Constantine was recalled west to campaign under his father in Britannia (Britain). Acclaimed as emperor by the army at Eboracum (Modern-day York) after his father's death in 306 AD, Constantine emerged victorious in a series of civil wars against the emperors Maxentius and Licinius to become sole ruler of both west and east by 324 AD.

Causantín mac Cináeda

Causantín or Constantín mac Cináeda (in Modern Gaelic, Còiseam mac Choinnich; died 877) was a king of the Picts. He is often known as Constantine I in reference to his place in modern lists of kings of Scots, but contemporary sources described Causantín only as a Pictish king. A son of Cináed mac Ailpín ("Kenneth MacAlpin"), he succeeded his uncle Domnall mac Ailpín as Pictish king following the latter's death on 13 April 862. It is likely that Causantín's (Constantine I) reign witnessed increased activity by Vikings, based in Ireland, Northumbria and northern Britain. He died fighting one such invasion.

Sources

Very few records of ninth century events in northern Britain survive. The main local source from the period is the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba, a list of kings from Cináed mac Ailpín (died 858) to Cináed mac Maíl Coluim (died 995). The list survives in the Poppleton Manuscript, a thirteenth-century compilation. Originally simply a list of kings with reign lengths, the other details contained in the Poppleton Manuscript version were added from the tenth century onwards. In addition to this, later king lists survive. The earliest genealogical records of the descendants of Cináed mac Ailpín may date from the end of the tenth century, but their value lies more in their context, and the information they provide about the interests of those for whom they were compiled, than in the unreliable claims they contain. The Pictish king-lists originally ended with this Causantín, who was reckoned the seventieth and last king of the Picts.

    Konstantine

    by: Something Corporate

    I can't imagine all the people that you know
    and the places that you go
    when the lights are turned down low
    and I don't understand all the things you've seen
    but i'm slipping inbetween
    you and your big dreams
    it's always you
    in my big dreams
    and you tell me that it's over
    wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers
    and your restless, and i'm naked
    you've gotta get out
    you can't stand to see me shaking
    could you let me go?
    I didn't think so
    and you don't wanna be here in the future
    so you say the present's just a pleasent interruption to the past
    and you don't wanna look much closer
    cuz your afraid to find out all this hope
    you had sent into the sky by now had crashed
    and it did
    because of me
    and then you bring me home
    afraid to find out that you're alone
    and i'm sleeping in your living room
    but we don't have much room to live
    I had these dreams that i learned to play guitar
    maybe cross the country
    become a rock star
    and there was hope in me that i could take you there
    but dammit you're so young
    well i don't think i care
    and if i hurt you
    then i'm sorry
    please don't think that this was easy
    then you bring me home
    cuz we both know what it's like to be alone
    and i'm dreaming in your living room
    but we don't have much room to live
    and konstantine is walking down the stairs
    doesn't she look good
    standing in her underwear
    and i was thinking
    what i was thinking
    we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere
    my Konstantine came walking down the stairs
    and all that i could do is touch her long blonde hair
    and i've been thinking
    it hurts me thinking that these nights
    when we were drinking no they never got us anywhere
    this is because i can spell konfusion with a k
    and i like it
    it's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it
    it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car
    when the first star you see may not be a star
    I'm not your star
    isn't that what you said
    what you thought this song meant
    and if this is what it takes
    just to lie in my mistakes
    and live with what i did to you
    and all the hell I put you through
    I always catch the clock
    it's 11:11
    and now you want to talk
    it's not hard to dream
    you'll always be my konstantine
    konstantine, they'll never hurt you like i do
    no they'll never hurt you like i do
    no, no, no no no no no no
    this is to a girl who got into my head
    with all the pretty things she did
    you know
    you keep me up in bed
    this is to a girl who got into my head
    with all the fucked up things i did
    maybe
    baby
    you could keep me up in bed
    my Konstantine
    spin around me like a dream we played out on this movie screen
    and i said
    did you know i missed you?
    oh god i miss you
    and then you bring me home
    and we'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no no
    and you'll kiss me in your living room
    i know
    you'll miss me in your living room
    cuz these nights i think maybe that i'll miss you in my living room
    we don't have much room
    i said does anybody need that room?
    because we all need a little more room
    to live
