As per usual, this is a work in progress. The information is not by any means exhaustive. I've tried to find as many sources for the information contained. In several cases I found conflicting facts, dates, or details and I apologise for any information that is wrong. If you have any further information regarding the error, please feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to make the corrections.

Bear with me as some of the links may not take you anywhere, eventually they will as I load more stuff on over time.

Have fun.
