Two insights here:1) if you’re jammed up somehow in the medieval Levant you better call Manuel. 2) by international law no Germans should be allowed east of the Oder and/or Danube.
I vas chust followink Oders
I'm a tour guide of the Malbork Castle. I could wax chaotically about the teutonic order and it's deal for hours. AMA about the Teutonic Order. If I don't know, I can find out. :)
The issue with the bishops wasn't about Papal appointment, per se; the Pope wasn't actually choosing the person who held that office, the cathedral chapter (a group of priests who were attached to the cathedral living together like monks) did that. What was happening was that the candidate was being invested with their office by the Emperor, and the Papacy decided that was unacceptable, that the Pope needed to do that. They eventually agreed that the Emperor would invest prelates with their temporal jurisdictions, and the Pope would invest them with their spiritual jurisdictions, but the candidate would be freely elected (unanimously) by the cathedral chapter. This continued to be a point of contention into the 13th century, until eventually the right to temporal investitures was lost. The story about Barbarossa drowning in his armor came about after his death and was written by someone who wasn't there. We have an account from a an anonymous clergyman (possibly Gottfried von Splitzenberg, Bishop of Würzburg, a close confidant of Friedrich's) who was traveling with the army that says he decided to "bathe" in the river after weeks of marching across Anatolia. It was very hot in the summer, and the water was incredibly cold, so a more likely explanation for Barbarossa's death is that he died of a heart attack or hypothermia. The only other contemporaneous account also has him swimming rather than being thrown from his horse. Solid podcast otherwise.
He'd be wearing chainmail anyway, can't drown in that, too many holes.
i wish i had the skills to make one of those storyboard style podcast animatics because ever since this came out i have been beset by visions of cartoon Alice standing at a lectern trying to teach the class about The Decadent Turk while good student Dr. Janega gasses her up and Justin and Liam sit in the back singing the Mercedes Benz song
loved Roz's reenactment of the Fourth Crusade by redirecting the podcast towards some hapless Croats
Yo Thaddeus, don't be acephobic. Educate yourself: https://galop.org.uk/resource/acephobia-and-anti-asexual-hate-crime/
Have you commies done an episode about the MOVE bombing? Might be a good topic.
I have a feeling Rocz made an episode for it on donoteat01.
The idea of there being a really important figure who's just known as Arnolf the Shitlid makes me laugh so much. Love the middle ages
Nice my fave guest is back.
Anyone have the YouTube playlist for premium episodes? The Patreon player doesn't play nice with my phone.
You can click the watch on youtube button. If that isn't working, heres the link to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW-9tCnSp9M
Too bad the Swordbrothers didn’t make the cut.
Hard to get solid information on them. They were so horridly evil nobody kept the receipts.
deus_vult.ppt Nice.
An episode on the Hillsborough disaster would be really cool
Episode 12?
Poland wasn't christianized by the Northern Crusades, it became a Christian kingdom more than a hundred years before even the First Crusade. And Lithuania converted in the end not because the Teutonic Order forced them, but because the Lithuanian monarch married the polish monarch (a woman at the time) to unite their kingdoms, and his conversion was part of the deal. One of the arguments Poland used when they tried unsuccessfully to get the Teutonic Order out of eastern Europe was more or less: "The Teutonic Order tried to convert the Lithuanians by force for 200 years and still didn't succeed, we tried it diplomatically once and now they are Christians."
Which may or may not have been caused by a Polish noble (Conrad of Masowia) being responsible for asking the Teutonic Knights to be there in the first place.
When Justin and Liam were (ahem) derailing about different Crusaders, I was really hoping Alice would retaliate by talking about the Crusader tank, which was one of the better British-designed tanks of WW2 and played an important role in liberating North Africa from zee Germans and I-talians
Very considerate of the northern crusades to go to Lithuania and Estonia and skip Latvia.
Alternate Title - Penn Central: The Phantom Menace
The Penntom Menace.
Mfs putting Hasan in the thumbnail on a private video. How do you intend on click baiting an unlisted video?
Obligatory: “Please make an audio only feed happen” post. Great episodes, binged them yesterday!
An air cooled Porsche might be nice, but what about an air cooled nuclear reactor? That's right, I want to hear Alice explain the British way of doing things in an episode on the Windscale nuclear disaster. ☢
While you could surely talk about Windscale by itself for 2 hours, I think you could also expand into the continued disaster that is the sacrifice zone of Sellafield and it's job of leaking nuclear waste into the countryside.
The First Crusade, to me, seems to be a bunch of dudes sewing together a lot of Ls into a W.
The begining train and college sports slide was wild as fuck
Yeah Roz, you should absolutely work your way through Mel Brooks's oeuvre. At some point you get him and Anne Bancroft singing "Sweet Georgia Brown" in Polish, a thing l never knew l needed there to be in this world. =========== l just finished "All About Me!"; it's incredibly self-indulgent, bit it's weirdly the best argument _for_ "if people just watched the right movie they would be better people" l've seen in a long ass time. (mostly because it's a litany of reasons why you should watch every Mel Brooks movie).
Roz's vengeance is both beautiful and amazing
holy fuck that thumbnail
i love you all and hope that you do hanford.
Great to see the show back on. Hope you're feeling better roz Hope your team put the thing in the thing the most liam Alice cum shouldn't look like that Yay eleanor!
oh, right, you still exist! glad you're alive!
Something about the raising canes logo feels racist to me I can’t explain
Azan Battalion rise up
I hate to say this, Clark, because I am not trying to shame or freak you, but I think that it’s a good thing that the clergy understand what drives a lot of their parishoners. Making a religious ideology that fetishizes innocence and virginity, repressed homosexuality, doesn’t allow priests to have sex but THEN gives them intimate access to the mental, spiritual, and sexual dilemas of their flock? I couldn’t make an environment more ripe for sexual and emotional abuse of all kinds if I tried.
So they referenced there being a playlist in the main feed episode, does anyone know how to get it?
I've been listening to you for about a year now and never got around to giving you money, I slammed my two dollars down within about 8 seconds of seeing the title on the preview of this that you posted. Just wanted to give that positive feedback. This is what I am here for, 11/10
The phrase "Gang nach Canossa" is still in use today in German press, usually in opinion pieces. I hadn't heard the phrase in a while but I checked and e.g. the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the papers of record) used it 7 times in the past two years.
As an asexual, sex-avoidant person, I can confirm that priest noncing could be completely eliminated as a risk factor if you sex-havers would just go ahead and make a tuition-free theology school program for people like me, who feel like the Lord is probably okay and also actively feel bone-deep repulsion at the suggestion of dongs, bobs, or anything in between. Not only would I wear the robes with pride (but not too much pride because that is a Sin), but I would wear even more robes on top of the usual robes, to create even more physical barriers between me and other human beings. We're like, the perfect priest class. If life were Dungeons and Dragons, sex-repulsed asexual people would be the default Cleric class. But nobody listens to us, even though we are the obvious solution here. TL;DR pay me to become a priest and/or make priest school free for asexuals and we can instantly solve this problem in like one generation. I'm just saying.
Eh, there were better gigs for us aces. Ones that didn't involve perpetually starving ourselves and barely sleeping at all...
Can’t wait for the Very Normal Replies y’all get for this one.
I mean I hope the people paying the money to get it on patreon know what to expect from them.
