King Cnut 990~1035

Cnut the Great, also known as Canute, whose father was Sweyn Forkbeard, was King of Denmark, England and Norway; together often referred to as the North Sea Empire. Yet after the deaths of his heirs within a decade of his own, and the Norman conquest of England in 1066, this legacy was lost. Wikipedia
Born990 AD, Denmark
DiedNovember 12, 1035, Shaftesbury, United Kingdom
Full nameCanute

#Onthisday 1016, the Scandinavian warrior Cnut became king of all England. Edmund Ironside died this day, which is when Cnut took over the whole of England. Seizing the crowns, fighting wars and making allies: why not discover more about the king that changed England? http://bit.ly/2rfNa4U #BLAngloSaxons

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey


On this day in 1530, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey fell ill and died while on his way to London after being accused of treason.
Characterised as manipulative, power-hungry, and even an alter rex, Henry VIII’s right-hand man Wolsey has been typically depicted with a body mass to rival his political weight. Katherine Harvey asks if he was really the glutton of popular legend, and what such an image reveals about the link between the body, reputation, and power in Tudor England — https://publicdomainreview.org/…/iconology-of-a-cardinal-w…/

Chief Medical Officer (United Kingdom)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) is the most senior advisor on health matters in a government. There are four CMOs in the United Kingdom who are appointed to advise their respective governments: Her Majesty's Government, the Northern Ireland Executive, the Scottish Government[1] and the Welsh Government. Each CMO is assisted by one or more Deputy Chief Medical Officers, and are complimented by a Chief Nursing Officer.
In England, the CMO is a member of the board of the National Health Service (NHS), a civil servant in the Department of Health, and head of the medical civil service. The Republic of Ireland has a similar officer.
The Chief Medical Officer is a qualified medical doctor whose medical speciality traditionally was public health medicine, and whose work focused on the health of communities rather than health of individuals. More recently the appointees have been clinicians without training or experience in public health medicine. In the UK, the CMO is one of six chief professional officers who advise the government in their respective health and social care disciplines.[2]
The equivalent US term is Surgeon General. The term Surgeon General is also a used in the British Armed Forces for the head of medical services. In non-government organisations, such as policing, chief medical officer may refer to a senior medical post in the organisation. When appointed outside government the chief medical officer will often decide on physical and mental fitness to serve issues, and the role may not be in public health.
