King Alfred

 King Alfred the great was a very good king. He shaped and made England how its known today. If Alfred had just given up everything would have changed and England would be very different. But what did he do well for one thing he defeated the danes who had overrun the island and beat them. He had lived in the swamp and then rose again and defeated the danes also after defeating the danes. He set England up with rules and officials he appointed judges and everything else that's needed built an army and war ships and beat back another attack by the danes.

Ice riding

 Riding on ice is not something most people don't even thing about some may say hey lets go out on ice on skates or something. But most people definitely would not go out on ice in a car or on a bike. Well on a bike that something interesting what if you used saw blades instead of wheels and that would grip the ice and you could pedal and get up speed faster and wouldn't slip and fall. But falling through the ice 5-6 in. is recommended but since there are like 5 of these in the world you probably won't do this anytime soon.

the battle of the five armies

 The battle of the five armies detailed in the Hobbit. Was between the Azog the defiler dale and dwarves and elves the dwarves from iron hills to be more exact and the elves from the woods of Mirkwood. The dwarves came to save thorin their king the elves came for some of their treasure and the men from dale had smaug the dragon destroy there town. So they where hunkering down near to aramboor the city of the dwarves. In another town close to that place. an the orc's army led by Azog the defiler came though. He and his armies from gundbad and another place. Marched to battle they came for the treasurer. The dwarves and elves where about to fight. But the orcs came the dwarves rushed to the fight the elves hesitated but where behind them all the way. The orc's outnumbered them roughly 8 to 1 the elves retreated but the dwarves fought hammer and tongs for awhile and then retreated to reform ranks. What saved the battle for the good guys is not Dale Dale was already half destroyed. It was the eagles they came and helped along with beorn the shapeshifter. The orcs retreated and thorin was killed along with azog fili and kili the nephews of thorin the leader of dwarves was Dain.

Carrying Gods name with us

 Carrying the name of God is something that not many people think about people think about helping other people and other Godly good things. But many people don't think much about carrying the name of  God and that means carrying it everywhere you go even if your in sin. God's name is still on your head everywhere God's name is with you but do we treat ourselves like we do most of us probably would say. But that doesn't mean that we can be perfect it means that we shouldn't try do sinful things as much as we can as we normally do.

Hastings

 The battle of hasting was a fierce battle the english were poorly equipped and not exactly ready for a fight. But they came anyway led by there king harold. After defeating the second harold he turned his army towards the normans. His brothers all except one of his brother's had betrayed. One remained faithful and true and they together headed for the normans. Each side consisting mainly of infantry though the normans possessed some horses. Though there weren't many horses on the english side as the two forces came together the heavy axe of the English and the heavy sword of the normans started hewing at each other. Very few were wounded almost all were killed with a single blow. Finally william aimed his bowmen high and they slew the king and many of his thanes and noblemen and the battle lasted until night. As the english either tried to flee or where killed

Agincourt

 At the time of the battle of Agincourt the country was split between two side's the Orleans and the kings side. Then King henry V came with his army off about 7,000 and annihilated the French. The terrain was split. The middle was open ground the two sides their was swamp and heavy forest. So the French knights couldn't out flank the English. So when the French came up the middle they were under the rain of arrows pouring down on them after some heavy fighting the French retreated and many were killed and the plunder was very high and captives were taken for ransom. So that ended the battle of Agincourt.

Vermont

Vermont is a very fun filled state for skiers and mountain climbers hikers fishermen and many other people. 1/3 of the state is filled with trees and the Appalachian mountains go through there. So obviously this place has a lot of lumber trade as well as maple syrup trade tons of the sticky stuff! The Appalachian mountains is what I meant for hikers and mountain climbers as well as the forests. There are about 348 ponds and lakes for the fishermen to catch trout and other fish. Great place for the outdoorsy person I personally would love going there for a vacation!
