area the midst of a civil

1:27

war well as we will see

1:29

it isn't the kind of civil war but

1:31

to determine sides relentlessly go

1:33

at each other much more fab

1:36

they prolonged negotiation amongst the princess

1:39

disperse, the great festivals paper

1:41

bowls, and the occasional military campaign

1:43

that usually stalls before the walls

1:46

of an mighty city now,

1:48

let us recap, the starting position of

1:50

02 contenders his

1:53

auto the fourth whose main sponsor as his

1:55

uncle king richard the lionheart richard

1:58

is enormously rich thanks to the x income

2:00

from england and it's extensive domains

2:02

and france richard

2:04

main objective was to get back at

2:06

the home stuff and who had imprisoned

2:09

and ransoms him on his returned from the crusades

2:12

the not very fond of his nephew and

2:15

the maybe a long term option that

2:17

auto would support of been a struggle with the king

2:19

of france philip august the

2:22

second supporter is the archbishop

2:24

out of cologne of

2:27

was less of a supporter of auto them

2:29

an opponent of the home stuff why

2:32

he took so strongly against them as a little

2:34

bit lost in the midst of time these

2:36

to the the candidate for the archbishop reek of

2:38

cologne against a home style from candidate

2:41

what he did get through and he was invest by

2:43

henry the six he had also

2:45

opposed hundred the six proposal to

2:47

turn the empire into an and how to the monarchy

2:50

so many others

2:53

he did not want to elected in frederick the second

2:56

them relented in the end and

2:58

promised to crown the child the

3:00

all in he wasn't a friend

3:02

but not a sworn enemy

3:04

in fact

3:05

there were a couple of good reasons for adults to

3:07

oppose the canada see of

3:10

a wealth prince who would want his

3:12

old sex and duchy back which

3:14

included westphalia this debate

3:16

the cologne had received after the fall of

3:18

henry the line looks

3:21

to me a bit as if out of had to have accidentally

3:23

become the focal point of anti home stuff

3:25

and sentiment thanks to luke

3:27

warm but very consistent opposition

3:29

the third

3:31

and most committed set of supporters of auto mother

3:33

merchants of cologne the probably

3:35

pushed out bishop over to aside

3:38

the merchants the most interested in trading

3:41

privileges that england could provide these

3:44

were extremely valuable initial

3:46

was the raw material that florentine we've

3:48

is turn into the most desirable cloth and

3:50

europe the and cologne

3:52

sat on the rhine river the great

3:55

traffic artery that said between these two

3:57

economic centers this

3:59

the time and the cities of flanders again

4:02

in bruise are vying for that

4:04

same trade lisa

4:07

his core supporters danish the archbishop

4:09

of cologne and the citizens of color

4:12

also have a second layer of supporters which include

4:14

his brother henry the count platinum henry

4:18

was the older brother and had inherited the majority

4:20

of his father's possessions in line

4:22

with the principles of primogeniture photo

4:25

i'd only received a brace of coffers from hundred

4:28

the lines vast lands the to make

4:30

his own by in life already

4:32

bit of a sore point in their relationship now

4:34

we have met this henry before you

4:37

said same henry who had deserted

4:39

is empress army before naples and eleven

4:42

ninety two

4:43

spread rumors that hundred to six had died

4:46

i had suggested the prince's that they

4:48

left him instead

4:50

for political reasons the and brad forgiven

4:52

him and for completely

4:54

incomprehensible reasons there to

4:56

protect society of tell century germany

4:58

completely overlooked the studio and

5:01

chivalry behavior two

5:03

more things about henry yeah, become

5:06

count palatinate by seducing and secretly

5:08

marrying agnes the soul

5:11

chart of conrad half-brother of barbarossa

5:14

reader sixth had to accept the valid marriage

5:16

and even how to the

5:18

wealth with the palatinate counterpoint

5:22

henry was the initial choice of richard the

5:24

lionheart be the candidate for kingship

5:27

the only reason this did not happen was that

5:30

henry had been on crusade in the holy land

5:32

when the decision was made another

5:35

so point in that brotherly

5:37

relationship another

5:39

member of the second layer of supporters henry

5:42

duke brabant that your

5:44

brabant encompassed most of east and belgium

5:46

including brussels and antwerp and

5:48

was an immediate neighbor to the archbishop

5:50

of cologne you can

5:52

trust my main in a large amount of in

5:55

this money was offered for his help and

5:57

amount of the lines by lines by was to

5:59

marry his

5:59

maria

6:01

some other in this category like the bishop

6:03

conrad of strasburg i had a long

6:06

lasting feud with phillips irascible brother

6:08

and hence hated all homes dolphins from the

6:10

bottom of his heart and the duke

6:12

of limbo up and his sons who initially

6:14

fought a philip but were brought into auto

6:16

camp early on in the process

6:20

if you look on a map auto zone of control

6:22

was the law ryan round cologne and

6:24

brabant and upriver and the platinum

6:26

it as well of the family lands of the

6:28

house of wealth around brunswick on

6:32

the other side of fit of a failure he

6:35

to has an inner and outer circle that

6:38

is where the similarity ends the

6:41

lives in a circle ah the royal homes

6:43

dolphin institutions such as

6:45

they exist the card

6:48

since the ducks your slave yeah and extensive

6:50

home stuff possessions that stretch

6:52

from the border with bohemian the east this

6:54

way to francona including known back

6:56

and wouldn't talk to the outskirts of frankfurt

6:59

and then southwest through slavia

7:01

and are thus second

7:04

element is the oil demand which comprises

7:06

a large number of castles dotted across

7:09

mostly the southern parts of germany at

7:11

this point also includes cars line saxony

7:14

with it's great silver mines repeat

7:17

territories come the imperial and assembly

7:19

minister yannis it

7:22

already risen to prominence in the last decades

7:24

of barbarossa the now took up key

7:26

positions under henry the six and silly

7:29

then like mark lot of on violent heimlich

7:31

of cousin who served in italy

7:34

and sicily that also

7:36

performance and doc a mega minister

7:38

yannis for own dozens of caslon

7:40

even minted his own coins the

7:42

behalf from canada centre sell of the empress

7:45

was another one the three hours

7:47

word least theoretically on free

7:49

man who had been trained in the use

7:51

of nightly weapons the

7:53

end of the twelfth century the become

7:55

a permanent feature of the medieval jam society

7:59

them of him

7:59

once i mentioned were extremely rich

8:02

and but even a center princely rank the

8:04

vast majority were not much better off

8:06

than their neighbors in the village they

8:09

were much more loyal than as to practice

8:11

muscles or not absolutely

8:13

loyal even minute they alice

8:15

unknown to betray their lot beyond

8:18

this fairly compact and reliable powerbase

8:21

that could also count on a few natural allies

8:25

these are dot of on how to duke of saxony

8:27

the trick do cup of area and democracy

8:30

of my son these men had been

8:32

the direct beneficiaries of the fall of henry the

8:34

line and hence could not expect anything

8:36

good from him is a line some the

8:40

southern do flag the bob and doug i was jasmine

8:42

it's it's having and burgundy willing

8:44

to either by family ties of financial gain

8:48

the on those was the wide world of

8:50

the undecided to

8:52

have those became crucial water current

8:55

you go premia the long grass

8:57

hum on of three anger photograph

9:00

main interest was the title of king with

9:02

philip granted him generously at the very start

9:05

of his reign grub com

9:07

on was most interested in expanding his territory

9:09

at the expense of what had remained the

9:11

royal domain and sex me basically

9:14

these two were available to the highest bidder

9:17

and then we have the foreigners we

9:19

already talked about the role the king of england

9:21

played then me up the king of france

9:24

video goosed was a natural ally

9:26

of philip because the enemy of

9:28

my enemy is my friend the

9:31

king of denmark also gets involved

9:33

you want to the lines of out of of hallstein

9:36

they north of the country the

9:38

other side of a philip denmark

9:40

sided with auto though

9:43

that about as for auto has

9:46

english money cologne brother and his brother

9:48

the danes philip has friends

9:50

support his own lands the royal domain

9:52

and support from most of southern germany next

9:56

question what are the weapons

9:59

the

9:59

the stupid question but isn't

10:02

from the military might armies

10:04

are raised and sent against the opponent's but

10:07

don't know decisive battles or even many

10:09

battles many battles two kings the

10:11

face each other only one that

10:14

is very much at the end of the conflict mostly

10:17

with these armies do is to go down into their opponents

10:19

territories the in the fields

10:21

massacre peasants and make some attempt

10:24

at besieging the city but never really

10:26

succeeding that could

10:28

take you through the back and forth of the minute he fortunes

10:30

but the detail is excessively dot

10:34

they'll be speaking the fighting breaks down

10:36

into for main theaters of war

10:38

in the surroundings of strasbourg a devastated

10:40

by philip in an attempt to move bishop conrad

10:43

into his camp that is successful

10:46

at least temporarily the

10:48

region is holsteins there's invited

10:50

by the danes they check out card idle

10:53

threat retire and hallstein

10:55

remained danish for twenty five years this

10:57

one went to auto the

11:00

theater of war was the lower rhine and

11:02

specifically the surroundings of cologne philip

11:05

would bring up an army devastate the land

11:08

but the walls of cologne usually held some

11:10

and phillip had to go back either

11:12

because winter was coming all

11:14

because he was caught into another key battleground

11:18

that funny

11:19

the quickly brunswick capital of water

11:21

the fourth and guzzler the loyal

11:23

imperial city the brunswick

11:26

know gosnell could be taken by their respective

11:28

procedures the saxony

11:30

the big undecided peace the lump

11:33

graph of thuringia who's lancer just

11:35

south and east of that became the linchpin

11:38

philip and auto quoted him an exploiter

11:40

the situation to the max in

11:43

total haven't changed sides five times

11:45

through the five years of the main conflict you

11:48

will declare for auto when syllables otherwise engaged

11:51

kept a furor coffers and cities

11:53

and men philip them shows up he

11:55

would swap sides revert to being a loyal

11:57

imperial vassal an extent we're keeping these

11:59

costs

11:59

city

12:01

three rounds of that and the land grabs

12:03

the properly which the

12:05

military was only one side of the battle the

12:08

other was public relations it

12:10

went on a massive spending spree inviting

12:13

all his followers and the undecideds

12:16

to splendid royal assemblies you

12:18

can name six hundred and thirty individuals

12:20

who come to his court the reality

12:23

and would have been a lot more he said twenty

12:26

eight of those assemblies often outsiders

12:28

direct zone of influence and

12:31

for those he put on a great show

12:34

you would appear wearing the true impure crown

12:36

by now believed to be the crown of charlemagne

12:39

as well as the holy lands and all the impure

12:41

regalia like the gorgeous

12:43

and exotic irene would parade next to her

12:46

husband nearby cent and finery

12:48

and after the official ceremony it

12:50

was party time the quarter phillip

12:52

or schwab and was one of the first in germany

12:54

to sponsor them in his anger the german

12:57

version of the troubadour in

12:59

his anger would ride most his songs about forty

13:01

love roka romances

13:03

like the passive all of hopman for our tristan

13:06

and isolde by godfrey started then

13:09

his anger were not only right of love and to

13:11

our requests the can do politics

13:14

too the most famous

13:16

of them was by tough enough will be vida

13:18

that is the one that philip attracts

13:21

is court well

13:23

to delivers the right several pounds

13:25

to praise philip into this is enemies one

13:28

of those is about the most splendid right assembly

13:30

and marked a book of a christmas and eleven ninety

13:32

nine the have thought of

13:34

reading a to you and i

13:37

, middle high german and

13:39

it just sounds utterly silly and seventy

13:41

not accurate that put the

13:43

text on the website for this episode

13:45

the linked to which you find in the shown us

13:48

but of translated it and i can say the whole thing

13:50

in english so here's

13:53

the poem on that

13:55

day when our lord was born of a virgin

13:58

whom he did chosen to be his mother

14:00

they walked in macbook king philip

14:02

glorious to behold the i walked

14:04

in empress brother and an empress son in one

14:06

robe although thou three

14:08

persons he carried the

14:11

real sept and the real crown he

14:13

walked along very slowly and incomplete

14:15

and quality after him

14:18

walked him walked born queen rows

14:20

without sewn dust without gal

14:23

the decency at the whole world was united their

14:25

the soaring games and the saxons perform

14:27

their core duties that in such

14:29

a manner that even the most discerning

14:31

could be highly satisfied and

14:34

poem these

14:37

events and the sponsorship of powers in the midst

14:39

of war the ptc been seen as a wasteful

14:41

spending there is probably worth

14:43

a lot more than a battalion of nights

14:47

if you were one of those undecided princess

14:49

and the civil war could not be one

14:51

militarily where would you tend

14:53

to go the one who keeps his first

14:55

tightly closed and seems have no friends

14:58

or the one where everybody parties and

15:00

who winds and dines you apart

15:03

from great as tools the other animal soft

15:06

power marriage auto

15:08

had the advantage of being himself available a

15:10

trump card he used to tie the duke of brabant

15:12

to his cause philip was

15:15

already married body had four daughters to offer

15:18

these are put in play at various points

15:20

to different german magnates and

15:22

even to a paypal nephew

15:26

for money philip can match the english fans

15:28

thanks to the treasures his brother had sent up

15:30

from sicily the hundred and fifty

15:32

mules worn down by the weight of golden

15:35

precious stones but

15:37

auto is no slouch the noted

15:39

less about the splendor of his court since

15:41

while he did not pay the right poets but

15:43

when english money was still slowing he saw

15:46

mr put on great performances that

15:50

gets us to the other theater of this conflict

15:52

the one the did not involve any germans

15:55

the the first hundred years war between

15:58

england and france that

16:00

is ongoing and will be ongoing for

16:02

most of the middle ages it

16:04

also with some military events do

16:06

have a decisive impact on german affairs

16:10

the first happened in march eleven ninety

16:12

nine below the walls of the small

16:15

and barely defended cost of shallow chabrol

16:18

nearly most central france richard

16:21

the lionheart out attack the castle

16:24

as part of a point to suit the

16:26

the by count of limoges the

16:28

fighting a bolt from a crossbow hit

16:30

the king silda the wound

16:32

turned gangrene and gangrene month later richard

16:35

curly on was dead before

16:38

forgiving the crossbow man who have shot him chivalry

16:41

night to the last richards

16:44

brother and success or don't lackland had

16:46

much less interest in german a fast or

16:49

fondness for nephew the

16:51

great supply of cash from england began

16:53

to dwindle then don't make

16:55

peace with philip august and twelve or for

16:57

it's east altogether the

17:00

actions of english money auto became more

17:02

and more dependent upon support from pope innocent

17:05

said the mentioned last

17:07

week innocent took a sweet time a taking

17:09

a decision when he did and travel

17:12

one he came down very much on outside

17:15

the had negotiated with philip as well and

17:17

as garden of the i'm frederick have some point

17:20

even contemplating putting his was claim

17:23

the innocent main interest in the conflict was

17:25

to protect and to expand the paper towel

17:27

choice the aftermath

17:29

of the death of hundred six with

17:31

all of italy had risen up against impure administrators

17:34

and he had picked up quite a bit of it i

17:38

did say last week that philip had stood at the

17:40

empty crippled because the fallen yeah nowhere

17:42

little frederick was supposed to have been that

17:46

, admit was a bit of artistic license philip

17:48

never made it to fully nano this

17:51

journey ended in motor fiasco know north

17:53

of rome local laws encouraged

17:55

by the news of hundred six deaths besieged

17:57

him

17:59

when

17:59

having this story i did

18:03

indeed use a bit of fat what i

18:05

feel was not may foul language but

18:07

some of you found it unnecessary i

18:10

personally saw it is good way to express the

18:13

distress i think philip may have felt at

18:15

that moment but i understand

18:17

that some of you prefer it if it refrained from such

18:19

terms and i will do my best to stick

18:21

to it the node german

18:24

as a language of prolific and very inventive

18:26

swear words and where the use of

18:28

them as evidenced as used furniture probably

18:31

still the use it going

18:34

back to italy in the calles after

18:36

the death of the emperor pope innocent managed

18:38

to get hold of some key positions including

18:41

the duchy of spoleto the mark of

18:43

ancona then tapulous around ravenna

18:46

the be media romania and again

18:49

the land of matilda protecting

18:52

those from a pure power became one of his key

18:54

political objectives hence innocent

18:56

support for auto was made conditional upon

18:58

recognition of the paper gains and

19:01

a solemn promise never

19:03

the seek the sicilian crown

19:06

philip on the other hand had not been prepared

19:08

to make such concessions the

19:11

face of it pepper support did not produce

19:13

much in particular the german

19:15

bishops remained loyal to philip the

19:18

right to the pope stating that it is

19:20

their prerogative to like the emperor net

19:22

his holiness should stay out of the discussion it'll

19:26

be one bishop was affected by paper support

19:28

for to the fourth and the subsequent excommunication

19:31

of philip and that the

19:33

don't chancellor conrad from clear

19:35

for oh not had

19:37

been a home stuff and loyalist former chancellor

19:40

of hand the six and i played a major

19:42

role in the conquest of sicily and the crusade

on a

28:21

indeed what happened

28:23

a recent essay claimed that the act was

28:25

part of a wider conspiracy that

28:27

included the groom the duke of index

28:29

his brother the bishop of been back and

28:32

the duke of bavaria himself all

28:35

these men will loosely related as members of

28:37

the white house of it of stuff and had

28:39

their power base and will be now see as that

28:41

area it was suspicious

28:43

of both the duke of and decks and his brother the

28:45

bishop fled immediately after the murder

28:49

the theory is now widely dismissed in part

28:52

because the evidence it was based on with badly put

28:54

together

28:55

further it's very unclear would benefit

28:58

these protagonists would have drawn from killing

29:00

philip the thing stood the

29:02

conflict between wealth and wiping and was a honeypot

for the magnets limited

continued that could demand money titles

marriages and privileges in exchange

who could not control himself

was the acting within the context of the honor

29:28

code of the times there

29:30

are many stories of the period have recently focused

29:32

more and more on up as a broader social

29:35

concept they conclude

that honor i the loss

political and economic position lord

29:47

who cannot defend his honor risks

29:49

losing his vassals and subsequently

his military and financial resources

29:54

the i'm not really qualified to give an

29:56

opinion on that

that i notice that broken it
