Prince of Gothia The title Prince of Gothia (princeps Gothiæ) or Prince of the Goths (princeps Gothorum) was a title of nobility, sometimes assumed by its holder as a sign of supremacy in the region of Gothia and sometimes bestowed by the sovereign of West Francia to the principal nobleman in the south of the realm, in the ninth and tenth centuries. Sometimes hereditary and sometimes not, the title has been rendered in English as Duke (or Margrave) of Septimania (dux Septimaniæ) or Duke (or Margrave) of Gothia (Gothiæ marchio). A similar or the same "office" was often held with the title comes marcæ Hispanicæ: "Count (or Margrave) of the Spanish March." The title was also a chronicler's device and, as presented in some chronicles, may never have been used in any official capacity.

Palatini (Roman military) The palatini (Latin for "palace troops") were elite units of the Late Roman army mostly attached to the "comitatus praesentales", or imperial escort armies. In the elaborate hierarchy of troop-grades, the "palatini" ranked below the "scholares" (members of the elite cavalry regiments called the "scholae"), but above the "comitatenses" (regiments of the regional "comitatus") and the "limitanei" (border troops).

Mononykus Mononykus ( , sometimes ; meaning "one claw") was a theropod dinosaur from late Cretaceous Mongolia (Nemegt Formation, about 70 million years ago) with long, skinny legs. It moved about on two legs, was likely very nimble and could run at high speeds, something that would have been useful in the open flood plains where it lived. It had a small skull, and its teeth were small and pointed, suggesting that it ate insects and small animals, such as lizards and mammals. Its large eyes might have allowed "Mononykus" to hunt by night, when it was cooler and there would have been fewer predators about. "Mononykus" was originally named "Mononychus" in 1993, but later that year, it was renamed because the original name had already been used for a beetle named by Johann Schueppel, a German entomologist.

Military art The genre of military art is art with a military subject matter, regardless of its style or medium. The battle scene is one of the oldest types of art in developed civilizations, as rulers have always been keen to celebrate their victories and intimidate potential opponents. The depiction of other aspects of warfare, especially the suffering of casualties and civilians, has taken much longer to develop. As well as portraits of military figures, depictions of anonymous soldiers away from the battlefield have been very common; since the introduction of military uniforms such works often concentrate on showing the variety of these.

Landrecht (medieval) The Landrecht (] , "customary law of the region", plural: "Landrechte") was the law applying within an individual state in the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages and Early Modern times. The state laws that emerged in the territories of the empire from the 12th century onwards had been developed from the older tribal laws of the Saxons, Swabians, Bavarians and Bohemians. Through privileges and laws passed by the territorial princes as well as the jurisprudence of the "Landgerichte" or state courts, these ancient rights were supplemented and developed. Later Roman law was also accepted and incorporated into the "Landrechte". The "Landrecht" was only applied to the burghers of a town in a secondary way, because they came primarily under municipal law and the autonomous jurisdiction of their communities.

Nomad A nomad (Greek: νομάς , "nomas", plural νομάδες, "nomades"; meaning one roaming about for pasture, pastoral tribe) is a member of a community of people who live in different locations, moving from one place to another.

Protoceratopsidae Protoceratopsidae is a family within the group Ceratopsia. The name Protoceratopsidae is derived from Greek for "first horned face". Protoceratopsids have so far been found in the Late Cretaceous, dating to between about 99.6 and 70.6 million years ago. Although Ceratopsians have been found all over the world, protoceratopsids are only known from Asia with most specimens found in China and the Nemegt Basin in Mongolia. As Ceratopsians, protoceratopsids were herbivorous, with constantly replacing tooth batteries made for slicing through plants and a hooked beak for grabbing them. Protoceratopsids were relatively small, between 1-2.5 m in length from head to tail. Their bony frill and horns were much smaller than more derived members of Ceratopsia. Protoceratopsids were likely slow runners and tended to move at a walk or a trot. Their legs may have been straight, creating an upright posture, but there are some theories that they were splayed out to the side, contributing to their slowness. There is evidence that Protoceratops formed groups. Specimens of juveniles and young adults are often found in groups, although adults tend to be solitary. The nature of these groups is not completely known, though herds of young likely formed for protection from predators, and adults are believed to have come together for communal nesting.

Scutarius A scutarius in Ancient Rome was any of the various types of gladiator who used a large shield called a samnite shield, which is named after another type of gladiator--a samnite. In Latin, the shield was called a "scutum"--where the name "scutarius" comes from. Due to having a large shield, "scutarii" would wear shin armour ("ocrea") on their right shin. This piece of armour would be smaller than the two "ocreae" worn by "parmularii," who carried a smaller,though still somewhat large, shield. Scutarii also usually carried short swords and wore visored helmets. Scutarii and parmularii are mentioned by Marcus Aurelius in his "Meditations" as two factions at the gladiator fights--both as gladiators and people who supported those gladiators.

Animal style Animal style art is an approach to decoration found from China to Northern Europe in the early Iron Age, and the barbarian art of the Migration Period, characterized by its emphasis on animal motifs. The zoomorphic style of decoration was used to decorate small objects by warrior-herdsmen, whose economy was based entirely on animals and plunder.

Imperial Knight The Free Imperial knights (German: "Reichsritter" Latin: "Eques imperii" ) were free nobles of the Holy Roman Empire, whose direct overlord was the Emperor. They were the remnants of the medieval free nobility ("edelfrei") and the ministeriales. What distinguished them from other knights, who were vassals of a higher lord, was the fact that they had been granted Imperial immediacy, and as such were the equals in most respects to the other individuals or entities, such as the secular and ecclesiastical territorial rulers of the Empire (margraves, dukes, princes, counts, archbishops, bishops, abbots, etc.) and the Free Imperial cities, that also enjoyed Imperial immediacy. However, unlike all of those, the Imperial knights did not possess the status of Estates ("Stände") of the Empire, and therefore were not represented, individually or collectively, in the Imperial Diet.

Landgrave Landgrave (Dutch: "landgraaf" , German: "Landgraf" ; Swedish: "lantgreve" , French: "landgrave" ; Latin: "comes magnus" , "comes patriae ", "comes provinciae ", "comes terrae ", "comes principalis ", "lantgravius ") was a noble title used in the Holy Roman Empire, and later on in its former territories. The German titles of "Landgraf ", "Markgraf " ("margrave"), and "Pfalzgraf " ("count palatine") are in the same class of ranks as "Herzog " ("duke") and above the rank of a "Graf " ("count").

Yörüks The Yörüks, also Yuruks or Yorouks (Turkish: "Yörükler" ; Greek: Γιουρούκοι , "Youroúkoi"; Bulgarian: юруци ; Macedonian: Јуруци , "juruci"), are a Turkish ethnic group, some of whom are nomadic, primarily inhabiting the mountains of Anatolia, and partly in the Balkan peninsula. Their name derives from the Turkish verb yürü- ("yürümek" in infinitive), which means "to walk", with the word "yörük" or "yürük" designating "those who walk on the hindlegs, walkers". Yörüks lived within the Yörük Sanjak (Turkish: "Yörük Sancağı" ) which was not a territorial unit like other sanjaks but a separate organisational unit of the Ottoman Empire.

Sauropoda Sauropoda ( or ), or the sauropods ( ; "sauro-" + "-pod", "lizard-footed"), are an infraorder of saurischian ("lizard-hipped") dinosaurs. They had very long necks, long tails, small heads (relative to the rest of their body), and four thick, pillar-like legs. They are notable for the enormous sizes attained by some species, and the group includes the largest animals to have ever lived on land. Well-known genera include "Brachiosaurus", "Diplodocus", "Apatosaurus" and "Brontosaurus".
