105	In 1066, William the Conqueror, illegitimate by birth and duke of Normandy, invaded England. The English had just finished defeating a viking invasion, and marched straight to Hastings to battle the Normans. The English, fatigued from their previous battle and long march, lost. On Christmas Day, 1066, William was crowned king of England. He set about reforming England, building mighty castles, putting his Norman buddies in positions of power and oppressing the Saxons. This didn't sit well with the English. There were rebellions, like the one led by Waltheof, earl of Huntingdon, in 1075.

120	Henry Fitz-Empress was the son of Matilda (or Maud), daughter of Henry I and widow of the Holy Roman Emperor, and Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou. His parents were involved in a long conflict with King Stephen for the control of England and Normandy. Geoffrey had conquered Normandy, and finally in 1153, King Stephen said that Henry Fitz-Empress would succeed him. Henry became king in 1154. With the lands of Normandy, Anjou, England and from his wife, Aquitaine, Henry was an extremely powerful monarch ruling over what was called the Angevin empire. Compared to the life of his parents, Henry's reign was peaceful. Until his children grew up. Henry had four legitimate sons who survived to adulthood (he also had daughters, some sons died as children, and he had illegitimate sons and daughters): Henry the Young Prince, Richard, Geoffrey and John. In 1170, Henry's son, Henry, was crowned king of England at the elder's request. Unfortunately, the Young King soon plotted against his father with the aid of Richard, Geoffrey and Henry II's wife Queen Eleanor. David of Huntingdon was made an earl by the Young King, and temporary lost his earldom when the rebellion failed. The Young King died in 1183, and Geoffrey died in 1186. Still the plotting continued. In 1188 and 1189, Richard, count of Poitou, joined with King Philip II of France against Henry II. Henry II surrendered, and died on July 6, 1189. He died with a broken heart, for one day before his death, Henry learned that his favourite son John had been on Richard's side. The counts of Anjou were said to descend from the devil's daughter. And with the furious tempers that all members of this family seemed to have and the wars between Henry and his sons, many contemporaries could almost believe the Plantagenets had the devil in their family tree. The kings themselves joked about this heritage. Henry was energetic. He doodled in church. He travelled around so quickly the French king once remarked that he must fly rather than travel by horse or ship. He was interested in justice, reforming the sheriffs. Henry was a scholar. He suggested the monks at Glastonbury look there for the legendary King Arthur. Henry's affairs were notorious, particularly the tragic one with Rosamund Clifford. And his temper? He had a conflict with Thomas Becket; the king's hasty words caused the Archbishop of Canterbury to be martyred in 1170.

127	At 11 p.m. on Wednesday 5th December 1900 a fire broke out below in Greta Colliery. After the alarm was given, the colliery manager, Mr. Joshua Jeffries and the fan engine driver, Mr. Henry Woodhouse, went down via "B" shaft to "Bartlett's Section" searching for five miners. Dense choking smoke drove the two men back. Later in the morning, a group including Mines Department inspectors, the colliery engineer and about 17 miners made further attempts though the old "No 3 Level or District" workings. but again without success. When this group returned to the surface and after studing the mine plan and discussion their inspections below, it was finally decided that nothing more could be done for the trapped men, nor to control the fire. The fan stopped. Work was started immediately on sealing the pit. The five miners, who perished and who were entombed, were: James Hyslop Edwin Buck Walter Fuller John Crowell Fredrick Crowell In this sealing process, bunton holes were cut in the solid rock wall of the shaft, 19 feet from the surface. Hardwood buntons, 12 inches deep and 5 inches wide were put across the shaft. On top of these deep buntons, 2 inches thick hardwood planks were laid across. These planks were cut to the circle of the shaft and covered with several layers of brattice cloth. Above the brattice, clay to a depth of 4 feet was filled.The clay was then covered with water to a depth of 2 feet. An attempt was made to re-open the mine in April 1901. Considerable work was made under the supervision of the colliery manager, Mr.Joshua Jeffries and Mines Department inspectors Atkinson and Dixon. Much incadescent coal, still flowing and burning was removed, plus falls and debris cleared from the headings. Some brick stoppings were erected with great difficulty. With the fan revolution at about 18 revolutions per minute, and spraying with water by hoses failed to reduce the high temperature. After 9 days, when the temperature rose rapidly, the mine was again resealed. On Friday 10th January, 1902, Greta Colliery was again re-opened. This particular examination showed the fire had been much larger than the previous estimates. The colliery manager, Mr.J. Jeffries, considered that up to 4000 tons of fallen stone on the "slant dip road" would have to be removed before the bodies of the trapped miners could be reached. This work might take three months. The bodies of Walter Fuller and Edwin Buck were found on Tuesday 4th February, 1902 floating in water approximately 50 yeards in-dye of the return airway, close to a door from the "main slants" heading to "No 3 Level" travelling road. Their bodies were placed into coffins and transported to the surface. The search continued for the other three men. When another serious fire broke out, Greta Colliery was again re-sealed. A further attempt to re-open Greta Colliery was made on Tuseday 7th October 1902. Within hours smoke appeared in the drift travelling tunnel, and re-opening operations were temporarily suspended. On Friday 23 January 1903 re-opening operations were renewed. Once more heatings and dense smoke drove the workers from the mine. Finally with much difficulty and heavy work, Greta Colliery was re-sealed on Tuesday 27th January 1903. On Friday 30th January 1903 Mrs Jane Cowlishaw notified the Mines Department that mining operations at Greta Colliery has ceased forever, and that she was no longer the owner.	Walter James FULLER

148	Pioneer business woman with interests in shipping and property. Mary Reibey, baptised Molly Haydock, was born on 12 May 1777 in Bury, Lancashire, England. Following the death of her parents, she was reared by a grandmother and sent into service. She ran away, and was arrested for horse stealing in August 1791. Sentenced to seven years' transportation, she arrived in New South Wales on the Royal Admiral in October 1792. On 7 September 1794, 17-year-old Mary married Thomas Raby, a junior officer on the store ship Britannia. Raby also used the surnames Raiby, Reiby and Reibey interchangeably, but the family adopted the spelling Reibey in later years. Thomas Raby was granted land on the Hawkesbury River, where he and Mary lived and farmed following their marriage. He commenced a cargo business along the Hawkesbury River to Sydney, and later moved to Sydney. Thomas Reibey's business undertakings prospered, enabling him in 1804 to build a substantial stone residence on a further grant of land near Macquarie Place. He acquired several farms on the Hawkesbury River, and traded in coal, cedar, furs and skins. He entered into a partnership with Edward Wills, and trading activities were extended to Bass Strait, the Pacific Islands and, from 1809, to China and India. When Thomas Reibey died on 5 April 1811, Mary assumed sole responsibility for the care of seven children and control of numerous business enterprises. She was no stranger to this task, having managed her husband's affairs during his frequent absences from Sydney. Now a woman of considerable wealth, Mary Reibey continued to expand her business interests. In 1812 she opened a new warehouse in George Street and in 1817 extended her shipping operations with the purchase of further vessels. By 1828, when she gradually retired from active involvement in commerce, she had acquired extensive property holdings in the city. In the emancipist society of New South Wales she had gained respect for her charitable works and her interest in the church and education. She was appointed one of the Governors of the Free Grammar School in 1825. On her retirement, she built a house at Newtown, Sydney, where she lived until her death on 30 May 1855. Five of her seven children had predeceased her. An enterprising and determined person of strong personality, during her lifetime Mary Reibey earned a reputation as an astute and most successful business woman in the colony of New South Wales. Her standing is recognised by her image which appears on the Australian $20 banknote. She is the only person in the whole history of the world who was convicted in crimes against property (or any other non-political crimes) and still has his or her image on national currency.
