Jael
Jael or Yael (Hebrew Ya'el, יָעֵל, meaning Ibex) is a woman mentioned in the Book of Judges in the Bible, as the heroine who killed Sisera to deliver Israel from the troops of King Jabin.
Family
All that the bible says is that Jael was the wife of Heber the Kenite. The Kenites were a clan or small people, originally nomadic, who were not Israelites, but some of whom lived in close proximity with the Israelites. The bible records a number of cases of intermarriage; the (or a) father-in-law of Moses was apparently a Kenite, but it is not clear if this was Jethro. The Kenites may have been a part of the Midianite grouping.
Jael in the book of Judges
God told Deborah (a prophetess and leader) that she would deliver Israel from Jabin. Deborah called Barak to make up an army to lead into battle against Jabin on the plain of Esdraelon. But Barak demanded that Deborah would accompany him into the battle. Deborah agreed but prophesied that the honour of the killing of the other army's captain would be given to a woman. Jabin's army was led by Sisera (Judg. 4:2), who fled the battle after all was lost.

Unger (Bishop of Poland)
Unger (died 9 June 1012) was a bishop at Poznań, after the year 1000 bishop of Poznań, independent from archbishop of Gniezno.
He became bishop in 982, probably as a missionary of unknown territory. Probably after failure of his mission, he became abbot of a monastery in Memleben (Unger kept this title till end of his life).
Most probably in 991 or 992 Unger arrived to Poland as a successor of Jordan who died in 984. After creation of new Polish metropolis in Gniezno with archbishop Radim Gaudentius he forced keeping independence of Poznań bishopric from new ecclesiastical province.
During his trip to Rome, where he was sent by Bolesław Chrobry, in 1004, Unger was imprisoned in Magdeburg and probably forced by local archbishop to recognize his pastoral governance (presented in later centuries document that was proof of this cession is rather falsificate). This hypothetical recognition was used in early 12th century by Magdeburg bishops to claim rights to throne of Poznań bishops. According to known evidences Unger never return to Poland and died in Magdeburg on 9 June 1012.
