Every Friday bloggers from around The Heptarchy will update us on the news and notes from their teams (with that fancy header image courtesy of Mike D; like democracy itself, it’s a perpetual work-in-progress). Yes, we ripped this off from TRH’s Pacific War Room; no, we don’t care. And since we ripped it off, we’ll follow their lead and go in standings order.

Today in History
Roman Emperor Septimius Severus dies on this day in 211.
Having traveled to Britain in an effort to conquer the Caledonians in 208, Severus and his army had pushed far into what is now Scotland before the native Caledonians revolted and, boy, did that tick off the emperor:
“Let no one escape sheer destruction, No one our hands, not even the babe in the womb of the mother, If it be male; let it nevertheless not escape sheer destruction.”
Alas, Severus fell ill in the midst of the long campaign and retired to Eboracum (now York), where he died, telling his sons:
“Be harmonious, enrich the soldiers, and scorn all other men”
