Joan of England (5 July 1321 – 7 September 1362), known as Joan of The Tower, was the first wife and Queen consort of king David II of Scotland.

Contents

Birth [link]

She was born in the Tower of London and was the youngest daughter of Edward II of England and Isabella of France. Her siblings included Edward III of England, John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall and Eleanor of Woodstock.

Marriage [link]

Joan & David II with Philip VI of France.

In accordance with the terms of the Treaty of Northampton, she was married on 17 July 1328 (at seven years of age) to David II of Scotland at Berwick-upon-Tweed. On 7 June 1329, her father-in-law Robert I of Scotland died and David II became King. He was crowned at Scone in November 1331.

Queen [link]

Owing to the victory of Edward III of England and his protégé Edward Balliol at Halidon Hill in July 1333, David and his Queen were sent for safety into France, reaching Boulogne in May 1334, where they were received by the French King, her relative Philip VI. Little is known about the life of the Scottish King and Queen in France, except that Château Gaillard was given to them as their residence and Philip treated them with regard.[1] David was present at the bloodless meeting of the English and French armies at Vironfosse in October 1339.

Meanwhile David's representatives had obtained the upper hand in Scotland, and David and Joan were thus enabled to return to his kingdom in June 1341, when he took the reins of government into his own hands. In 1346, David II was taken prisoner at the Battle of Neville's Cross on 17 October 1346, and remained imprisoned in England for eleven years. Joan was allowed to visit him in the Tower of London a few times by her brother,[2] but his imprisonment meant that, for Joan and David, no children were born during this time. After he was released in 1357, she decided to remain in England.[2]

Death and burial [link]

Joan was close to her mother, whom she nursed during her last days.[3]

Joan herself died in 1362, aged 41, at Hertford Castle, Hertfordshire and was buried at the Grey Friars Church, London.

    David Nevue

    David Nevue (born 1965) is a solo piano composer and a pianist and the founder of online radio station "Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio".

    Online radio work

    Nevue established the "Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio" internet radio station in August 2003 as a vehicle for promoting his own particular brand of piano music. Believing that the days of the traditional music industry were numbered, he decided to bypass the process of sending demos to record labels, and to use the web to promote his music on his own. Nevue began promoting his music online in 1995, and by 2001, he was able to make music his full-time career.

    Whisperings started out as part of the Live365.com family of independent online radio stations, but eventually grew beyond just Live365.com. Most listeners now tune in via the Whisperings web site, iTunes radio or Windows Media Tuner. Whisperings radio is supported by paid subscriptions from listeners who prefer commercial-free broadcasts. 273 artists are featured on the broadcast, including Joe Yamada, David Lanz, David Nevue, Peter Kater, Michael Dulin, Wayne Gratz, Isadar, Louis Landon, Robin Spielberg and Suzanne Ciani.

    Old Baldy (Lynch, Nebraska)

    Old Baldy, also known as the Tower, is a hill located near the village of Lynch, in Boyd County, in the northern part of the state of Nebraska in the Midwestern United States. It was visited by the Lewis and Clark Expedition on their way up the Missouri River in 1804; nearby, they discovered a colony of prairie dogs, an animal previously unknown to scientists.

    For its connection with Lewis and Clark, and because it has little changed since their passage in 1804, the site was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

    Description

    Old Baldy is located about 7 miles (11 km) north of Lynch, Nebraska, and about half a mile (about a kilometer) south of the Missouri River. It is part of a line of bluffs at the southern edge of the Missouri valley; it rises an additional 70 feet (21 m) above the surrounding highlands, reaching an elevation of 1,585 feet (483 m) above sea level.

    The formation making up the hill is part of the Pierre Shale, deposited in the deep marine waters of the Western Interior Seaway during the Campanian and Maastrichtian ages of the late Cretaceous period, 70–80 million years ago. The Pierre consists chiefly of dark shale, but also contains chalky strata, one of which is exposed at the top of the hill. The chalk does not readily support plant growth, giving the hill its conspicuous bald appearance.

    The Tower

    by: I.C.P.

    I'm dizzy walkin outta larry's army wear used
    With some black leather shoes and desert BDU's
    Many boxes of ammo, i got the camo face paint
    Barricaded the tower doors, safe this place ain't
    Up to the top, i can see the whole planet it would seem
    The sun is beatin on my head as i'm livin my horror dream
    Up-chucked a couple times then i finally took aim
    A man is chattin on his cell phone, i spattered his brain
    A lovely couple started runnin, all the sudden she tripped
    He kept right the fuck without her, like he never missed a step
    I snapped one to his head, he fell dead to his knees
    Then his wife was right there to retrieve the car keys
    Not many notice at first, although some do start to scatter
    Pluggin iron in they back, who they are it doesn't matter
    There's a psychopathic, way up in the tower somewhere
    And when they think they outta range [gunshot] poof they hair
    [chorus]
    And it was hot that day (someone's in the tower)
    So fuckin high (shooting from the tower)
    And it was hot that day (someone's in the tower)
    So fuckin high
    I shot the lady in the ass and the kid on the grass
    And the daddy on the swing through the lens in his glasses
    First cop on the scene will be commended for his services
    For now he holds his throat and scream "i didn't deserve this"
    The tower too high, i'm bringin shot from above
    Cuz my head's a battle royale of serpents, snails, and bugs
    I'm quadarpolar, though my snipers scope i see the enemy
    The world ain't never been my friend and never pretended to be
    I fought in two wars, my country left me poor and sick
    Leg missin, agent orange and an un-useable dick
    So as i reload, my trigger finger's frozen cold
    From squeezing so hard my reason is no control
    Warped soul, look at that, pap-pap-krack
    Three frat college boys flat, dead on they back
    And they lady tryin to hide behind the dead fat guy
    Just got one plucked in her eye
    [chorus]
    And it was hot that day (someone's in the tower)
    So fuckin hot (shooting from the tower)
    And it was hot that day (someone's in the tower)
    So fuckin hot...
    I'm finally at war again, only i ain't takin orders
    200 yards below, i'm taggin targets, small as quarters
    Marksman, sniper, military precision
    Spotlight on the tower, tryna nullify my vision
    My eyeballs keep rollin in the back of my head
    Practicing for any minute when i'm actually dead
    They put the tape up, these people think they outta my view
    But still, i'm steady pluggin sleepin pills off into them too
    I see in strobe light vision and i'm way beyond a panic
    My only skill is murder and i'm stuck on automatic
    Sweatin profusely, bleedin outta my ears
    Their shots are missing by fragments, bullets shavin my hairs
    And yet my aim is remarkable, i'm peggin these duck
    One by one, jumpin out of those SWAT team trucks
    I see the major activity, i'm caughing a chao
    Mad... my life went out with a flash
    [chorus]
    And it was hot that day (someone's in the tower)
    So fuckin hot (shooting from the tower)
    And it was hot that day (someone's in the tower)
    So fuckin hot...
    And it was hot that day, so fuckin hot
    It shouldn't get that hot, humid and hot
    Beatin down on us, so fuckin hot
    Too fuckin hot that day, just too fuckin hot
    How can it get that hot, how can it be that hot?
