The Great Fortune covers the first year of the war from September 1939 to June 1940 and is set in Romania . It is semi autobiographical and mirrors the life of Olivia Manning in during those years but uses fictional characters . The work was praised by critics for its perception and almost masculine eye for detail along with its vivid descriptions of people and places .

Mamprusi_people
|
The Mamprusi or Mamprussi are an ethnic group of northern Ghana and Togo . There are some 450,000 Mamprusi living in Ghana , and approximately 11,000 in Togo . In Ghana , the Mamprusis live mainly in Nalerigu and Gambaga in the northwest of the Northern Region but also inhabit parts of the Upper East Region . The Mamprusi Kingdom was founded around the 16th century by the Great Naa Gbanwah/Gbewah at Pusiga , a village 14 kilometres from Bawku . The Kingdom spans most of the Northern and the Upper East Regions of Ghana , and into Burkina Faso . As a consequence , the King of Mossi to this day is enskinned by the Nayiri -- the king of Mamprugu . Thus , establishing this kingdom as the pre-eminent of its kind , and the only kingdom in present-day Ghana whose relevance and authority cuts across national boundaries on the weight of its humble supremacy . The name of the kingdom is Mamprugu , the ethnicity is Mamprusi , and the language is Mampruli . Mamprusis revere the hallowed grounds of Bawku as their ancestral home , their origin . That is why Naa Gbewah 's tomb in Pusiga , is a shrine of repute to this day . It is believed that his disappearance was subteraneal , one of the marvels of Northern Ghana , and many ethnicities hold to agree with this uncommon historical account . It was after his death that his children moved farther afield and founded other kingdoms , namely : Dagbon and Namum . Note that the name Naa Gbanwah and Gbewah can be used interchangeably , the difference being that Mamprusis refer to him as gbanwah and dagombas refer to him as gbewah . It is just a difference in pronunciations .

Pfleger
|
A pfleger was a mediaeval office holder in the Holy Roman Empire , a type of burgrave or vogt , who was responsible for the management and defence of a castle or abbey . In Bavaria there was also the title of pflegskommissär , given to someone who represented a pfleger as required -LRB- in the sense of a `` commissarial '' or `` acting '' pfleger -RRB- . In the Late Middle Ages the pfleger developed into an official with administrative and juridical tasks . In the Old Empire , i.e. the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation until its dissolution in 1806 , a church parish -LRB- Kirchspiel -RRB- or a castellany -LRB- Hauptmannschaft -RRB- was usually the lowest level of administration . In the Rhineland , however , larger parishes were sometimes subdivided into Honnschaften . Several parishes were combined into a Pflegamt , or in the Rhineland a Pflege . In charge of these offices was usually a pfleger or his representative who , as the administrative officer and proctor , looked after public law and order and recorded agreements and treaties . For this purpose , pfleger were often recruited from the ranks of the lower nobility -LRB- vassals -RRB- in the countryside -LRB- Landadel -RRB- . Sometimes there were pfleger who were promoted from the peasantry to hold office . Formerly the sovereign exercised the functions of the legislature ; on his behalf the pfleger carried out the other two functions in a given area which was e.g. the size of a present-day county or Kreis . The pfleger thus carried out the functions of today 's district administrator and magistrate in personal union -LRB- in Austria-Hungary until 1918 -RRB- . Pfleger was also the title given to the head of an Amt in the administrative hierarchy of the Teutonic Order . The Teutonic Order was divided into commandries , which in turn consisted of Amts . The pfleger was basically a Teutonic knight and chief administrative officer of the Amt . At a central location in the Amt there was always a Teutonic castle or Ordensburg where the pfleger had his seat . The function of the Roman governor , Quirinius , in the province of Syria was translated by Martin Luther as Landpfleger -LRB- '' ... . it happened that at the time of the Emperor Augustus , ... . when Cyrenius was Landpfleger of Syria ... '' -RRB- . Clearly Luther assumed that at that time people would be familiar with the functions of a pfleger .

Nyctiphruretus
|
Nyctiphruretus -LRB- meaning `` Guardian of the Night '' -RRB- is an extinct genus of nyctiphruretid parareptile known from the Guadalupian series -LRB- middle Permian -RRB- of European Russia . Many fossils of the type species , N. acudens , were found well preserved near the Mezen River of European Russia in various stages of growth . The dentition identified that Nyctiphruretus is a herbivore . Based on the large numbers of individuals found and the sediment that they were found in , it appears that their diet consisted of aquatic plants . Adults discovered averaged 36 cm in length with a 4.4 cm skull that was crushed but recognisable . Nyctiphruretus was first named by Efremov in 1938 and the type species is Nyctiphruretus acudens . In 2002 , a second species was named by V. V. Bulanov . N. optabilis is known from a single jaw , also from Russia , Eastern Europe . Lee -LRB- 1997 -RRB- named the order Nyctiphruretia and the family Nyctiphruretidae , to include Nyctiphruretus . While the family was defined to be monotypic , the order was defined to include both nyctiphruretids and nycteroleterids . However , recent cladistic analyses suggest that nycteroleterids are more closely related to the Pareiasauria instead , thus making Nyctiphruretus the only genus of its order . In 2014 , MacDougall & Reisz described and named a second genus of Nyctiphruretidae , Abyssomedon , from the middle Leonardian stage of the late Early Permian of Comanche County , Oklahoma , south-central United States . It contains a single species , A. williamsi , which represents the first nyctiphruretid known from North America , and the oldest species of the family .
