Krum took the eastern parts of the former Avar Khaganate and took over rule of the local Slavic tribes. Bulgaria's territory extended twice from the middle Danube to the north of Budapest to the Dnester though possession of Transylvania is debatable.

"Review of Colin Caolloway, 'North Country Captives: Selected Narratives of Indian Captivities'", American Indian Quarterly, 1994. vol. 18 (1). p. 97 In addition, modern historians such as Linda Colley and anthropologists such as Pauline Turner Strong have also found the North American narratives useful in analyzing how the colonists or settlers constructed the "other". They also assess these works for what the narratives reveal about the settlers' sense of themselves and their culture, and the experience of crossing the line to another.

Then, in 1742, he established Fort Hinsdale, including a trading post and gristmill, reportedly at his own expense. The town's earliest history recounts Indian assaults, raids and captivities. Located beside the Connecticut River and connected to Brattleboro, Vermont, by bridge, Hinsdale contains excellent farmland, but has been a significant center of industry as well, especially in the manufacture of paper. In a machine shop here, George A. Long built a self- propelled steam vehicle in 1875, the Long steam tricycle, for which he received one of the nation's earliest automobile patents.

Several writers have indicated an unwritten set of norms called "Barbagian code" which was common to the rural and pastoral inner lands of Sardinia, these being the areas where most kidnappers originated, as well as those of hiding for most captivities. The first documented kidnapping carried out in the contemporary era dates back to 1875 (the noblemen Antonio Meloni Gaia was kidnapped in Mamoiada in May 1875 in his vineyard, but managed to free himself and escape captivity later the same day), while the unwritten code is assumed to have always existed in parallel to the written codes of the several foreign powers that ruled the island.

Her quest devolves a series of captivities and escapes, in which she is in turn separated from and reunited with her feline guardian. She is successively enslaved by lecherous inhabitants of the city of Paltossa, the Northern Barbarians, the sorceresses of the Witch Wood, and the sorcerer Sarkon and his three Womanthing minions. During the course of her adventures she picks up additional companions, including the bisexual girl Evalla, the Lion Warrior Thund, and the teenage boy Zorak, all of whom provide opportunities for sex play between adventures. Throughout all, she somehow manages to maintain a technical virginity, primarily because her various antagonists seem too depraved to consider ordinary intercourse, while her male companions are either too honorable, too inhibited, or too distracted by Evalla.

Dimont says that many of these scriptures are misinterpreted because after the captivities, the distinction between "Jews" and "Israelites" was lost over time. British Israelists believe that the Northern Tribes of Israel lost their identity after the captivity in Assyria and that this is reflected in the Bible. Dimont disagrees with this assertion and argues that only higher-ranking Israelites were deported from Israel and many Israelites remained. He cites examples after the Assyrian captivity, such as Josiah, King of Judah, who received money from the tribes of "Manasseh, and Ephraim and all the remnant of Israel" (2 Chronicles 34:9), and Hezekiah, who sent invitations not only to Judah, but also to northern Israel for the attendance of a Passover in Jerusalem.

The captivities began in approximately 740 BCE (or 733/2 BCE according to other sources).The Books of Kings and Chronicles modern view by Umberto Cassuto and Elia Samuele Artom (1981) > And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the > spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even > the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought > them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day. > () > In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and > he took Ijon, and Abel Beth Maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh and Hazor, and > Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to > Assyria. () In 722 BCE, ten to twenty years after the initial deportations, the ruling city of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, Samaria, was finally taken by Sargon II after a three-year siege started by Shalmaneser V. > Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his > servant, and gave him presents.
