1 A player who wins a singles rubber in the first day of the tie is awarded 5 points, whereas a singles rubber win in tie's last day grants 10 points for a total of 15 available points.

2 For the first round only, any player who competes in a live rubber, without a win, receives 10 ranking points for participation.

3 Team bonus awarded to a singles player who wins 7 live matches in a calendar year and his team wins the competition.

4 Performance bonus awarded to a singles player who wins 8 live matches in a calendar year. In this case, no Team bonus is awarded.

5 Team bonus awarded to an unchanged doubles team who wins 4 matches in a calendar year and his team wins the competition.

Dionysius of Lamptrai

Dionysius of Lamptrai (Greek: Διονύσιος; fl. 3rd century BC) was an Epicurean philosopher, who succeeded Polystratus as the head (scholarch) of the Epicurean school at Athens c. 219 BC. He died c. 205 BC and was succeeded by Basilides.


Dionysius of Heraclea

This article is about Dionysius the Tyrant of Heraclea. For the Stoic philosopher also from Heraclea, see Dionysius the Renegade.

Dionysius (Greek: Διονύσιος, Dionysios) was a tyrant of Heraclea Pontica on the Euxine (the Black Sea). He was a son of Clearchus, who had assumed the tyranny in his place of birth.

When Clearchus died (353/352 BC), he was first succeeded by his brother Satyrus, who reigned as guardian for Clearchus' sons, Timotheus and Dionysius. Satyrus was succeeded by Timotheus, who soon shared power with his younger brother Dionysius. After the death of Timotheus, Dionysius became the sole ruler of Heraclea (in 337/336 BC).

After the destruction of the Persian empire by Alexander the Great, Dionysius attempted to extend his dominions in Anatolia. In the meantime, some of the citizens of Heraclea, who had been driven into exile by their tyrants, asked Alexander to restore republican government in Heraclea, but Dionysius, with the assistance of Alexander's sister, Cleopatra of Macedon, acted to prevent any steps being taken to that effect. But, despite these efforts, Dionysius still did not appear to have felt very safe in his position, as evidenced by the delight with which he received the news of Alexander's death. He was so pleased with this development that he erected a statue of euthymia, that is, of joy or peace of mind.

Following Alexander's death, the exiled Heracleans then asked Perdiccas for his assistance. In response, Dionysius endeavoured to secure his position by joining Perdiccas' enemies. Dionysius also married Amastris, the former wife of Craterus. This marriage led to considerable political advantages for Dionysius. He then formed a friendship with Antigonus by assisting him in his war against Asander. Ptolemy, the nephew of Antigonus, married Dionysius' daughter by his first wife.


Dionysius of Heraclea

Thanks to these actions and alliances, Dionysius was able to remain in undisturbed possession of the tyranny of Heraclea for many years. In 306 BC, when the surviving generals of Alexander assumed the titles of king (basileus), Dionysius followed their example, but he died soon after. The death of Dionysius must have taken place in 306 or 305 BC, as, according to Diodorus, he died at the age of 55, and after a reign of 32 or 33 years.

According to Athenaeus, Dionysius was said to have been the mildest and most just of all the tyrants that had ever lived. He was succeeded by his wife, Amastris, who reigned during the minority of her sons, Clearchus II and Oxyathres.

Coins of Dionysius have been found, some of which were issued during his joint reign with his older brother Timotheus and others during his sole rule.

Diocese of Lebus

The Diocese of Lebus (Latin: Dioecesis Lubucensis; German: Bistum Lebus; Polish: Diecezja Lubuska) is a former diocese of the Catholic Church. It was erected in 1125 and suppressed in 1598. The Bishop of Lebus was also, ex officio, the ruler of a lordship that was coextensive with the territory of the diocese. The geographic remit included areas that are today part of the land of Brandenburg in Germany and the Province of Lubusz in Poland. It included areas on both sides of the Oder River around the town of Lebus (Polish: Lubusz). The cathedral was built on the castle hill in Lubusz and was dedicated to St Adalbert of Prague.Górzyca (German: Göritz), back to Lebus and finally to Fürstenwalde (Polish: Przybór) on the River Spree.

It bordered the Diocese of Poznań to the east, the Diocese of Brandenburg to the west, the Diocese of Cammin (Kamień) to the north and the Diocese of Meissen to the south.

Establishment

The Lubusz Land formed part of Poland since the reign of its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. In 968, the Diocese of Poznań was founded as Poland's first Catholic diocese, covering the territory of Poland. In 1000, the Archdiocese of Gniezno was founded, directly subordinate to the Holy See rather than to a German archdiocese; this kept Poland independent from the Holy Roman Empire throughout the Middle Ages.

The Diocese of Lubusz was established about 1125 at the behest of Bolesław III Wrymouth, Polish monarch from the Piast dynasty. The diocese covered the Lubusz Land, located in the westernmost part of Poland. The diocese was established to counter attempts at eastward expansion of the Holy Roman Empire by Emperor Henry V and by the Archbishop of Magdeburg. The Diocese of Lubusz was erected as a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Gniezno. Its seat was located in Lubusz, an important Polish stronghold against incursions by the Kingdom of Germany, described in 13th-century chronicles as "the key to the Kingdom of Poland".St. Adalbert on the castle hill in Lubusz.

  * Fürstenwalde/Przybór (1385–1558).


Diocese of Lebus

With the fragmentation of Poland among the sons of Boleslaus, the Lubusz Land at various times belonged to the provincial duchies of Silesia, Głogów, Greater Poland and Legnica. The area became a destination for the Germans Ostsiedlung. Polish monarch Henry II the Pious died in 1241 at the Battle of Legnica fighting the Mongol invasion of Poland. Seven years later in 1248, his son Bolesław II the Horned permanently lost the Lubusz Land to the archbishopric of Magdeburg and the Ascanian margraviate of Brandenburg. Bolesław sold half of the land to Archbishopic of Magdeburg; the other half was captured by Ascanian nobles.

Lordship of Lebus

Supplementary agreement on the emolument of the diocese between Bishop Piotr of Opole and King Casimir III of Poland

When Bolesław III Wrymouth erected the diocese, at the same time he created a lordship that was co-extensive with the territory of the diocese. This lordship or bishopric was not a prince-bishopric or state of the Holy Roman Empire since it was in the Polish realm at the time of its creation.


Diocese of Lebus

While the Ascani and the Wettin archbishops competed for influence, the diocese itself remained subordinate to Gniezno. In 1245, the brothers John and Otto — joint Margraves of Brandenburg — annexed lands in the region of Teltow, Barnim, the Uckermark, and the Lordship of Stargard to Brandenburg. In the same year, the brothers captured the castle of Köpenick and a fortress at Mittenwalde. From these bases, they expanded further to the east. By 1249, they had acquired the Lubusz Land and reached the river Oder. In this way the lordship became part of a state that was itself a state of the Empire; it was a condominium of Brandenburg and Magdeburg. After this, tensions arose between the claims of Polish and Magdeburg representatives for influence in the diocese. Since the bishops of Lebus generally supported Polish interests, some time after 1276 they moved the seat of the see east of the Oder to Göritz (Górzyca) due to the pressure exerted by Brandenburg. The margraves of Brandenburg began to annex further Polish territories to the east of the Oder to their newly formed region of Neumark ("New March"). Despite the Polish loss of the region, the Diocese remained a suffragan of the Polish Archdiocese of Gniezno, and several Polish bishops were still appointed, and under Bohemian (Czech) rule (1373–1415) also several Czechs served as Bishops.

With the extinction of the Brandenburg branch of the House of Ascania in 1320, disputes arose in the March. Bishop Stephan II openly supported King Władysław the Elbow-high, who went to the Neumark region with Polish and Lithuanian troops. In 1325, in retaliation, Margrave Louis the Brandenburger ordered the governor of the Prince-bishopric — Erich von Wulkow — to capture the episcopal possessions and to destroy the cathedral in Göritz. Bishop Stephen fled to Poland.

In 1354, Louis's successor in Brandenburg — Louis II — was reconciled with Bishop Henry Bentsch: the episcopal possessions were returned and the seat also returned to Lebus, where a new cathedral was built. The castle and lordship of Lebus were also left to the bishop.


Diocese of Lebus

By the terms of the Treaty of Fürstenwalde, Emperor Charles IV purchased the Margraviate of Brandenburg from the childless Margrave Otto VII of Brandenburg. In 1373 the lordship was attacked by the emperor's troops. Charles incorporated the lands into the lands of the Bohemian Crown thereby ending the connection of the House of Wittelsbach to the Brandenburg margraviate. The episcopal seat moved, for the final time, to Fürstenwalde. Since the collegiate church in Lebus had been destroyed, Bishop Wenceslaus II of Legnica from the Piast dynasty raised St. Mary's Church to the status of a cathedral.

Polish monarchs still made peaceful attempts to regain the region but in 1424, the diocese became subordinate to the Prince-Archbishopric of Magdeburg.

Castle in Beeskow, place of death of the last Catholic bishop in 1555

The status of the bishop during this period is summarised by Albrecht III Achilles, the Elector of Brandenburg since 1471, who remarked, "What does it matter to us that there is a Bishop of Lebus or who he is, so long as he is a good honest man who is useful to the lordship and its territories? For in any case, whether he likes it or not, he must do whatever a Margrave of Brandenburg pleases in reasonable concerns affecting the Margrave and his territory.

In 1518, Ulrich of Bieberstein enfeoffed Storkow Castle to Bishop Dietrich von Bülow. The castle was then expanded into an episcopal residenz. In 1518, the lordship also acquired the town of Beeskow. Upon the death of the last bishop in 1555, it was presented as a gift to the Hohenzollern margrave John of Brandenburg-Küstrin by King Ferdinand I of Bohemia. Together with neighbouring Beeskow, they merged into the Brandenburg electorate upon John's death in 1571.

Disestablishment

The Protestant Reformation, with the support of the Electors of Brandenburg, resulted in most of northern Germany being lost to the Holy See. When Bishop Georg von Blumenthal died, he was the last Catholic bishop in northern Germany. When the Lutheran administrator Johann Horneburg died, the lordship was formally incorporated into Brandenburg. In 1598, the Church formally suppressed the diocese.

Legacy

The name of the historical bishopric was invoked again in 1945 when the newly acquired Polish Recovered Territories were put under the Apostolic Administration of Kamień, Lubusz and the Prelature of Piła whose name openly implied that it was the successor of the Diocese of Lebus, a claim subsequently upheld by the succeeding Diocese of Gorzów later renamed Diocese of Zielona Góra-Gorzów, though less outright.
