Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base.

Edward still had influential friends in Normandy and he wanted the people of Dover punhised for this. Edward asked Earl Godwin to be the punisher. After saying no to king he raised an army against Edward instead. The other two senior noblemen, the earls of Mercia and Northumbria, remained loyal to Edward. Later Edward outlawed Godwin and his family in Flanders. Between 1051 and 1052, Edward increased the number of Normans who advised him at court. Edward's continued favouritism caused problems with his nobles. In 1052 Godwin and his sons returned to England with an army. The army was commanded by his two sons Harold and Tostig.

The re-evaluation of the whole body of Estonian literature, arts and culture of the Twentieth century had to be carried through. This repressive Soviet policy reached its peak in 1949-1950. As a result, the most noted authors and artists were either outlawed or expelled from the Soviet Estonian Writers’ Association and the Soviet Estonian Artists’ Union (Friedebert Tuglas, Betti Alver, Johannes Semper3, Mait Metsanurk, Anton Starkopf, Ado Vabbe, Adamson-Eric among others). As for musicians Tuudur Vettik, Riho Päts (1899-1977) and Alfred Karindi (1901- 1960), a prominent choral composers and merited educationalist, were arrested and sent as bourgeois nationalists to a Siberian prison in March 1950.
