1077: The pilgrimage from Spira (Germany) to the Castle of Canossa (Italy), with the Alps in between, of Emperor Henry IV of the Holy Roman-Germanic Empire, called the Humiliation of Canossa or Road to Canossa.

The Road to Canossa or Humiliation of Canossa (Italian: L'umiliazione di Canossa), or, sometimes, the Walk to Canossa (German: Gang nach Canossa/Kanossa)[1] was the journey of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV to Canossa Castle in 1077, and his subsequent ritual submission there to Pope Gregory VII. It took place during the Investiture controversy and involved the Emperor seeking absolution and the revocation of his excommunication by the Pope who had been staying at the castle as the guest of Margravine Matilda of Tuscany. According to contemporary sources, he was forced to supplicate on his knees, waiting for three days and nights before the castle gate while a blizzard raged, "one of the most dramatic moments of the Middle Ages". The episode has spurred much debate among medieval chroniclers as well as modern historians, who dispute whether the walk was a humiliating defeat for the emperor or a "brilliant masterstroke".

che prima o poi tutti ci vengono a Canossa...

compreso Bismarck che non visse abbastanza per vederlo quando pronunciò "nach Canossa gehen wir nicht, weder körperlich noch geistig"....

Naming my blanket after CK3 is so funny cause I'm not. A player. Of CK3. I just watch videos about it. And when I saw the line "I need your clothes to build my cozy little jester nest" it rewired something in my brain and also I ended up with paras from it
