Although the exact division of the spoils is unclear, Maelgwn appears to have gained Anglesey whilst the sons of Cynan held the cantrefs of Meirionnydd, Eifionydd and Ardudwy between them. However Dafydd appears to have been recognised as pre-eminent amongst them and was regarded in some way as the overall leader. Naturally, once he'd enjoyed some of the benefits of power, Dafydd felt disinclined to share, as well as no doubt nervous that he might also soon share the fate of his predecessor Hywel; in 1173 he acted against his brother Maelgwn and drove him into exile in Ireland thereby gaining possession of all Anglesey for himself. The following year he expelled all his remaining family rivals and made himself master of all Gwynedd and in 1175 "seized through treachery" his brother Rhodri and imprisoned him for good measure.

During the 29 June, as the Coalition forces approached Paris it had also been tolerably well ascertained that, although fortified works had been thrown up on the right bank of the Seine, the defence of the left bank had been comparatively neglected. A further inducement towards the adoption of this plan arose from a report which was now received from Major Colomb, stating that although he had found the bridge of Chatou, leading to Château de Malmaison, destroyed: he had hastened to that of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, on hearing that it had not been damaged; and succeeded in gaining possession of it at the very moment the French were on the point of blowing it up.

Gregory took refuge in Castel Sant'Angelo, and refused to entertain Henry's overtures, although the latter promised to hand over Guibert as a prisoner if the Pope would consent to crown him Emperor.

The Emperor, while pretending to submit to these terms, tried hard to prevent the meeting of the bishops.

A member of the receiving team gaining possession of the ball on a kickoff may attempt to advance it as far as he can toward the kicking team's goal line before being downed. Once the ball carrier is downed, the play is whistled dead and the ball is placed by the officials at the point where the play ended; this spot then becomes the line of scrimmage for the ensuing play. A kick that travels through or goes out of bounds within the end zone without being touched, or is caught by the receiving team in the end zone but not advanced out of it, results in a touchback; the ball is then placed at the receiving team's 25-yard line, which becomes the line of scrimmage. In college football only, a fair catch by the receiving team between its own 25-yard line and the goal line is treated as a touchback, with the ball placed at the 25.

A coalition of Black Nationalists and radical whites which took over Memphis, Tennessee proclaimed Malcolm X as President of the United States and Oswald as his Vice President. When Malcolm X was killed during a skirmish with a unit of US Marines trying to take over Memphis, Oswald was declared President - one of six rival Presidents at different locations in US territory and two others among the army in South Vietnam. During seven months as an Acting President, his authority recognized mainly in Memphis and to a lesser degree in the rest of Tennessee and Kentucky, Oswald strove to widen his base of support, restrain the more wild and unruly of his followers, and prevent ugly incidents breaking out between Black and White militias, despite both being outspokenly opposed to racism. Concerned at news of Richard Nixon consolidating a harsh dictatorial regime in California, gaining possession of tanks and fighter planes and extending his power eastwards, Osward renounced his claim to the Presidency and threw his support behind Eugene McCarthy, who was proclaimed President in New York City and gained support along much of the East Coast.
