This one's a little bit more difficult than the last one I posted, in my opinion.
Who are the 3 main people pictured here? What is taking place? When and where did this take place (an approximation would suffice)?Attached FilesThe Apolytoner formerly known as Alexander01

Judging by the clothing and the seashore setting, I'd say this was to do with missionary work amongst the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England.
So, I'll go for the less obvious choice and say Paulinus, in Northumbria with pagan king Edwin and Aethelburga of Kent (Christian) in about 625-6 a.d. .
A marriage ceremony, or blessing.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

St Augustine being received by pagan King Aethelbert and his Frankish Christian Queen Bertha.
About 579-580 a.d. .
I love the look on her face- it's as though she's thinking:

Good job. See, it was the more obvious one after all.Originally posted by molly bloom

About 579-580 a.d. . BTW, that's specifically Augustine of Canterbury (as opposed to the more famous Augustine of Hippo), but you probably already knew that.
I agree. That's part of why I like that picture.Originally posted by molly bloom

Okay.
This war involved humiliating defeats, but also led to the 'rediscovery' of one set of expelled people, and the use of soldiers on the eventual losing side in a further war on the side of their former foes.Attached FilesVive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Does it have to do with the American Civil War? It involved humiliating defeats on both sides, led to the rediscovery of at least two sets of expelled people (Mormons, Native tribes), and Confederate soldiers joined the US army to fight in the Spanish-American War (CSA General Joseph Wheeler was actually a US General in the S-A War).The Apolytoner formerly known as Alexander01

Spanish civil war ?
From Wikipedia, the 'Blue Division' of Spanish volunteers:Originally posted by molly bloom
and the use of soldiers on the eventual losing side in a further war on the side of their former foes.
Fifty percent of officers and NCOs were professional soldiers, many of them being veterans of the civil war. Many others were members of the Falange (the Spanish fascist party). Others felt pressure to join because of past ties with the Republic or — like Luis GarcÃa Berlanga, who later became a well-known cinema director — to help their relatives in Franco's prisons.

The Rif War in Morocco?
Spanish got their 'asses' handed to them by the fierce local tribes. It was also where Franco earned his spurs enjoying meteoric promotion due to the obvious incompetence of his fellows. The experienced Army of Africa became his powerbase for launching the Spanish Civil War with many of the troops drawn from the very Rif tribes he once fought as a young man.
Expelled people? The Moors of Al-Andalus were driven out of Spain and settled in Tetouan and Chefchaouen. You can see the very distinctive Moorish architecture in these cities to this day and compare it to that of the Alhambra in Granada, as I have done personally...
