1136 – June – Gillemichael, Earl of Fife, born. Mormaer of Fife from 1130 to 1133, although it is unlikely he actually was the second. A son, called Aed (=Hugo). Aed would have succeeded Donnchad I under a Celtic system,   but as feudal rules of primogeniture came into force during the reign of Donnchad I, it was Donnchad’s son, and not Gille Míchéil’s, who became the next mormaer. Aed succeeded to the leadership of Clann Duib, at least during Donnchad I’s minority, and certainly became lay abbot of the monastery of Abernethy, an office which his own son, Orm, later inherited.

1695 June – Scottish ministers obtained permission, accordingly, to grant such privileges of trade to their country as might not be prejudicial to that of England. In June 1695, these influential persons obtained a statute from Parliament, and afterwards a charter from the crown, for creating a corporate body, or stock company, by name of the Company of Scotland trading to Africa and the Indies, with power to plant colonies and build forts in places [TG59-31] not possessed by other European nations. The two great continents of North and South America are joined together by an isthmus, or narrow tract of land, called Darien. This neck of land is not above a day’s journey in breadth, and [TG59-29] as it is washed by the Atlantic ocean on the eastern side, and the Great Pacific ocean on the west, the isthmus seemed designed by nature as a common centre for the commerce of the world. Paterson ascertained that the isthmus had never been the property of Spain, [unoccupied by Europeans because of the deadly Yellow fever disease spread by mosquitoes, until the cause was understood circa 1904] but was still possessed by the original natives, a tribe of fierce and warlike Indians, who made war on the Spaniards. According to the law of nations, therefore, any state had a right of forming a settlement in Darien, providing the consent of the Indians was first obtained; nor could their doing so be justly made subject of challenge even by Spain, so extravagantly jealous of all interference with her South American provinces.

1940 on the 30^th. The first German troops landed on the Channel Islands, the only part of the British Empire occupied by the Germans throughout the war. ‘Ultra’ was now breaking the Luftwaffe Enigma codes with some regularity, and early in the month had its first major breakthrough when supporting evidence for the Knickebein navigation aid for bombers was obtained. Army codes were more secure because of the greater use of land lines for communications, and the Naval ones would not be penetrated until mid-1941. By early June 1940 the Royal Navy was taking steps to meet the threat of German invasion. Any invasion fleet would be attacked as it built up and before it could reach British shores. Four destroyer flotillas with cruiser support moved south, and escort and other vessels were on patrol offshore. The removal of these escorts from Atlantic convoy duties contributed to the sinking of many merchant ships, and eventually they returned to these duties. After setting out in early May, a heavily escorted convoy carrying Australian and New Zealand troops arrived in Britain.
