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'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.

I have a feeling Rocz made an episode for it on donoteat01.

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

Have you commies done an episode about the MOVE bombing? Might be a good topic.

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

Ben Yardley

Nice my fave guest is back.

Anyone have the YouTube playlist for premium episodes? The Patreon player doesn't play nice with my phone.
