Lothair with dove.

Doves are underrated and should be used in fantasy more.

[medieval-elephants]

Golden oldie A little golden elephant hangs out in the corner of the table of contents for the gospel of St Mark in the Lothair Gospels, made between 849 and 851 for Lothair I, Charlemagne's grandson. This manuscript is extraordinary in many ways-- there's lots of expensive purple and gold, a portrait of Lothair himself, the works-- but one of the most interesting features is this tiny elephant, because it is recognizably an elephant. (It can be contrasted with some other attempts at drawing "elephants" from Northern Europe on this blog.) So why did these artists get it right?

Well, people were still alive in the Frankish realms who had actually seen an elephant! In the early 800s, the Abbaids caliph Harun al-Rashid sent Lothair's grandfather, Charlemagne, an elephant called Abul Abbas. Charlemagne had allied with the Abbasids (based in Baghdad) against the Umayyads (based in the Iberian peninsula), who were the rival power along Charlemagne's southern border and who were the descendants of the dynasty the Abbasids had overthrown in order to claim power. You can read more about this in Sam Ottewill-Soulsby's new book, The Emperor and the Elephant. Side note: these Carolingian illuminators were into pink and blue 1000 years before Taylor Swift entered her Lover era.

Silvestro II

Die Koninkryk van Frankryk, 'n groot problematiese werklikheid van die oomblik, het die dood van koning Lothair in 986 gesien. Vir die troonopvolging het 'n dispuut ontstaan ​​tussen die Karolingiër Louis V, seun van Louis IV, en Hugh Capet. Na 'n jaar van bewind van Louis V (wat in 987 gesterf het), het Gerbert die troonbestyging van Hugh Capet bevoordeel, vol vertroue dat hy in ruil daarvoor die aartsbiskopsamp van Reims sou hê, wat vakant geword het na die dood van Adalberone in 987. Hugh Capet het egter nie aan daardie verwagtinge voldoen nie en het in 989 as aartsbiskop van Reims, Arnolfo, aangestel as bastaard van die Karolingiese Louis. Hugh se bedoeling was om die antieke dispuut te genees deur 'n Karolingiese afstammeling te erken as 'n openbare mag van groot beeld wat beslis weerspieël sou word in die konsolidasie van die Kapiese monargie wat nou in harmonie met die geestelikes regeer. Dus, nadat hy sekretaris van Adalberone van Reims en van koning Hugh Capet was, het Gerbert sekretaris van Arnulf geword, wat egter 'n moeilike gespreksgenoot was en, asof hy koning Hugh se omgesig teenoor Gerbert teruggekeer het, het hy 'n politieke rigting aangeneem. wat geneig was om Karolingiese aansprake op die kroon teen Hugh Capet te beroep ten gunste van sy oom Charles van Lorraine, broer van wyle koning Lothair. Nadat 'n eerste raad, wat in Augustus 990 in Senlis gehou is, om die ongunstige posisie van die Arnulf van Reims-Charles van Lorraine-duo te evalueer, het Hugh Capet, die heersende koning, in Junie 991 in Saint-Basel vergader, 'n tweede raad byeengeroep. sonder die goedkeuring van Pous Johannes XV (985-986). Die abdij van Saint-Basle, in Verzy, het dus die vergadering van 'n raad gesien wie se Acta Gerbert die opsteller was, maar ook die inspirator van 'n paar openlike ingrypings teen Arnulf van Reims: onder andere die sterk veroordeling van biskop Arnulf van Orléans, wat beslis van Gerbert se kultuur gebruik gemaak vir sy eie argumente. Die deelname van baie biskoppe van die geestelikes van Frankryk het die Saint-Basel-debat die eerste oomblik van 'Gallicanism' gemaak: die Kerk van Frankryk was gekant teen die gesindhede van Rome. Hierdie raad het die veroordeling uitgereik vir Arnulf van Reims, vir Karel van Lorraine en die verkiesing van Gerbert van Aurillac tot die aartsbiskop van Remens goedgekeur. Brief No. 180 is Gerbert se professio fidei voor sy broers, 'n geheel en al teologiese professio waar die uniekheid van God, die konsubstantiewe aard van die Drie-eenheid, die menswording van die Seun, die verlossing van sondes deur die doop, gemeenskap met versoende Christene, die seën van die huwelik, toestemming dierevleis te eet. 'n Beroep waaruit die teologiese en ekklesiologiese geskille gelek het wat in die jare van Gerbert aanleiding gegee het tot diepgaande skeuring en die opkoms van dwaalleer rondom die teenwoordigheid van die liggaam van Christus in die Eucharistie

Did you say at one point that Lance and Bandys types were someone who could kick their ass or was that a fever dream??

If I did say that about Bandy once upon a time, I don't think it's quite how I'd describe him nowadays after having fleshed out his character more while trying to chip away at the story as a whole haha --

Right on the money for Lance tho 💪
