Medieval Cyprus Society (MCS) now meeting in Alsancak
===========================================================================

The recently-launched Medieval Cyprus Society (MCS) will hold its second meeting in

---> The Grumpy Grouse restaurant* at Alsancak (at 8.00 pm on Saturday, May 31).
---> * Located next to the King's Court Hotel (opposite the Denizkizi Hotel).

After a brief introduction about the aims of the society, founder Hans Doeleman will give an illustrated (pictures and
maps) introduction to the start of the Crusades movement and the important part that Cyprus played during
the Third Crusade and later:

--- Reason for and start of the Third Crusade, 1189-1192
--- Richard I (The Lionheart)'s conquest of Cyprus in 1191

And time permitting:

- Brief ownership of Cyprus by the Knights Templar
- The Lusignan period from 1192 until 1489, including the Mamluk and Genoese rule.
- Venetian annexation of Cyprus in 1489
- The Ottoman conquest of Cyprus in 1571

After the talk, there will be time for questions from the audience.

One of the next MCS activities will be several detailed tours of historic Famagusta.

Admission is free, but seating is limited, so you are encouraged to book a place directly with Hans Doeleman,

Oh, what a shame for going to miss such an objective educational experience in ...."Alsancak!" You see, even the name of the place in which the "event" will be held, has so much to do with the "history" of Cyprus!

[Rebel.Without.A.Pause]

Who are these people to discuss our history??

Flying Dutch_crusader, even if you paid us a thousand pounds each, we wouldn't give a dumb shit for your "history lessons!"

And to give you some proper history lesson, the village which you say you now live and call “Yesiltepe,” is actually called Elia, is my mother’s birth place and has been a purely Greek Cypriot village for some hundred of years before it was illegally usurped by the Turkish invaders! How it comes and you, a Dutch and non-Cypriot, can live in my mother’s village and even think you can “teach” others about the history of this country, while my mother and the rest of its indigenous inhabitants cannot live in the place of their birth, set aside enjoy their properties which you might as well have usurped to built your house?

First answer and explain this fundamental question, before suggesting you can talk about the history of our country!
