Biography of Francisco Dagohoy
DagohoyBiography of Francisco Dagohoy
Francisco Dagohoy was a Filipino revolutionary leader in Bohol who holds the distinction of spearheading the longest armed revolution in the history of the Philippines, the Dagohoy rebellion which lasted roughly 85 years, from 1744-1829.
The famed leader of the Bohol revolt, Dagohoy was born Francisco Sendrijas in Inabanga, Bohol. Hence, apart from the fact that Dagohoy was a cabeza de barangay, little accounts of his life were recorded. According to Visayan folklore, the term "Dagohoy" came from the words Dagon and Hayohoy meaning amulet and wind respectively.
During those times, Boholanos believe that Francisco had an amulet that enables him to fly. Likewise, the term "Dagon sa Hayohoy" (amulet of the wind) was coined. Consequently, it was shortened to "Dagohoy."
The 85-year Dagohoy rebellion was insinuated by the abusive treatment Spanish authorities inflict upon the native Boholanos, specifically the polo y servicios or forced labor and the vandalla - an excessive taxation policy of tyrannical government officials. Nevertheless, the last straw perhaps was when Dagohoy's dead brother was deprived of a Christian burial because the latter died in a duel - an act which is banned and criticized by the Roman Catholic Church.
The incident angered Dagohoy thus, he called a meeting with Boholano leaders and planned an uprising against Spain. The 85-year revolt started in January 24, 1744 with the murder of Giuseppe Lamberti, an Italian Jesuit priest and the parish priest of Jagna. Shortly, the news of the armed conflict spread all over the province.
Eventually, Dagohoy himself killed Gaspar Morales, the same priest who refused a Christian burial for his brother.
Dagohoy's popularity grew tenfold resulting into the increased of his followers. By the time that the Spanish authorities in Manila took charge of the situation, Dagohoy had already established an independent Boholano government in the mountainous peaks and valleys of

During this, hungry Apaches who couldn't find food on plains attacked the pueblos. This angered the people on the pueblos, but there new leader Pope', a mysterious medicine doctor, tried to keep the Indian beliefs around and resisted the Christian religion. The Spaniards hated this, so they captured his older brother. This enraged Pope' against the Spaniards so he held meetings to tell everybody that the Spaniards must leave. The Spaniards found out about this and arrested Pope, publicly flogged him and released him back to the pueblos. When he was captured, the pueblo people set fires in the Indian villages in New Mexico. To take care of the fires, the Spaniards sent troops to halt the ritual of setting the fires by pueblo people, and they arrested all of the medicine doctors, killing several of them. The people believed that the doctors protected them from evil, so all of the pueblo towns wanted to unite against the Spaniards. The group from the pueblos went to the governor of Santa Fe and told him that if the doctors that were imprisoned weren't released by sundown, all of the Spaniards in New Mexico would be killed. They released the prisoners because the Indians outnumber the Spaniards by a huge amount.…

    The resistance towards the inquisition was predominantly in the towns of Albi, Toulouse, Carcassonne, and Narbonne in the 1230’s and all demonstrate the rage towards the inquisitions unjust practices. 11 The anti-inquisitorial movement of Carcassonne gained momentum as a Franciscan friar Bernard Délicieux became leader of this movement, 12 this greatly signifies that other religious orders and levels of the church were greatly opposed to the Dominicans. Sermons performed by Bernard Délicieux intentionally to stir up the people of the movement against the inquisition and southern France will become a war zone between the people and the church for control of this area.

    Since the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre there has been a great deal of controversy over the causes and blame of the historic crisis. Any religious dispute is a very contentious debate due to the fact that there were generally very few impartial bystanders to record what took place. Given that the clash between the Protestants and Catholics had been an ongoing problem since Protestantism had spread to France in the early 16th century, documents that can be studied are often very biased, and historians must gather information from a third party perspective in order to form opinions about historic events such as the Saint Bartholomew’s day massacre. Attempting to figure out why such a horrific event happened is incredibly difficult. It is impossible to know why an individual acted the way they did unless they recorded their thoughts at the time. However, by encompassing various documents written by different individuals we are able to establish an understanding of the circumstances leading up to the massacre and hereby construct a recipe for the event. The formula for any sort of civil crisis is simple; it requires two groups of people who passionately disagree on an issue enough to fight over it, a situation that puts high levels of tension between the two parties, an established fear of the unpredictability of the opposing group, and finally a trigger. In the days leading up to Saint Bartholomew’s Day 1572, the recipe for a disastrous event unfolds and ultimately evolves into the slaughtering of thousands of Protestants in Paris and surrounding regions of France.…

    The story behind The Third of May is one of brutality and malice. After Napoleon invaded Spain, he set his brother in place of the Spanish Monarch. The Spanish people believed the royal family was going to be murdered. In response to these rumors, on May 2, 1808 a rebellion against the French army took place. The French retaliated by rounding up civilians the next day and opening fire (4). After the Spanish regained control in 1814, Goya was motivated to ask the provisional government of Spain to commission The Third of May. He requested to, “perpetuate by means of his brush the most notable and heroic actions of our glorious insurrection against the Tyrant of Europe" (5).…
