• Og, King of Bashan, of the race of the Giants, who going about to oppose the Passage of the Israelites, had his Country taken from him called Argob, or Traconitis. Numb. 21.33, 34, 35. Deut. 3.1, 2, 3, 4.
• * Ogen, a Territory reckoned one of the best Soils in the In∣dies. It lies between Brampour, Seronge and Amadabat. It has a Prince of its own, but subject to the Great Mogul.
• Oger, whose name is famous in the old Stories of Chivalry, under that of Oger the Dane. He lived in the time of Charles the Great, and it is probable he is the same that is mentioned by the Monk of St. Gal, who betook himself to Desiderius, King of the Lombards, and whom Anastasius calls Autearius. However, it is certain that he did great Service to Charles the Great, and was therefore highly respected in his Court, and afterwards retired to the Monastery of St. Faron of Meaux, where he died, and was buried with one Benet, a Companion of his, in the IXth. Century. By some Verses writ upon his Tomb it appears that this Oger had a Sister called Auda, who was married to the Famous Roland.
• * Ogilby (John) was long e'er he took to study, but made a vast progress in a little time. His principal Works were, his Atlas, which gained him the Office of the King's Cosmographer; his Translations of Homer and Virgil, propria Minerva, Para∣phrase upon Aesop's Fables, and King Charles IId's. Entertainment through London, as he went to be Crown'd; all done with ad∣mirable Cuts. We have nothing of his Parentage; but by his Name he seems to be of a Scotch Extraction.
• * Ogilvy, a very ancient Scotch Family, who have been Barons for a long time. They are descended from the Sheriffs of Angus. The chief of this Family is the Earl of Airly, whose Eldest Son is called, Lord Ogilvy. There is another Earl of this Name, intituled, Finlaterre.
• Ogina, or Ogiva, Queen of France, the Wife of Charles IIId. surnamed The Simple, was the Daughter of King Edward Ist. before the Norman Conquest, and Sister of Athelstan, Kings of England. She had by her Husband Charles Lewis IVth. surna∣med Beyond-sea, because she sent him into England, to the King her Brother, upon the News of her Husband's Imprisonment.
• * Ogle, a Castle in Northumberland, lying between New-Castle and Morpeth. It anciently belonged to the Barons Ogle, and gave since the Title of Earl to the Dukes of New-Castle. The Ogles flourished in the Dignity of Barons from the beginning of Edward IVth's Reign. The Issue Male expiring in Cuthbert, the seventh Baron. Camb. Britan.
• * Oglio, Lat. Ollio, Ollius, a River in Italy, rising in the Moun∣tains above Edulum, in the Borders of Switzerland, in the Val∣toline, runs through Brescia into the Lake de Iseo, leaves it at Calepio, and parts the Territory of Brescia from Cremona, or the State of Venice from the Dutchy of Milan, and washing part of the Dutchy of Mantua, falls into the Po at Burgoforte.
• Ogna-Sancha, a Countess of Castile, who lived about the year 990; she being a Widow fell in love with a Moorish Prince; and resolved to marry him; and that she might not be hindred in this Design, she purposed to poison her Son San∣cho Garcia; who being informed of his Mother's Intention, and sitting at the Table with her, when the Cup of poison'd Wine was presented to him by her order, he dissembled his su∣specting of any thing, and by way of Civility desired his Mo∣ther to drink first, who thereby perceiving that her Design was discovered, drunk it all off, and died soon after. Whence came the Custom they still observe in Castile, of making the Woman drink first, tho' it be only done now by way of Civi∣lity. The Earl her Son being afflicted at this Misfortune, to make amends, founded the Monastery of St. Saviour of Ogna.
• Ogyges, King of the Thebans, or according to others, of Ogy∣gia and Actae, afterwards called Baeotia and Attica. He is recor∣ded to have been the first Founder of Thebes and Eleusine. The famous Deluge, so frequently mentioned by Greek Authors, happened in his time, from which he was saved, as most Au∣thors affirm; tho' some say he perish'd in it, together with all his Subjects. It is difficult to find the exact time when this Deluge happened. The most probable Opinion is theirs who suppose it to have been in the year of the World 2292, 636 years after the Universal Deluge, 986 before the Olympiads, and ••••38 before the Death of Alexander the Great. Riccioli. Clem. Alex. Torniel.
