22 avril 1370 : pose de la première pierre de la Bastille ➽ http://bit.ly/Premiere-Pierre-Bastille C’est le jour où le prévôt de Paris, Hugues Aubriot, pose la première pierre de la Bastille. A l’époque, elle n’a pas encore vocation à devenir une prison. Dans l’esprit de Charles V, il s’agit simplement de renforcer la défense de Paris

♱ @charlesv​.
The path from Helena’s apartments to the Kremlin’s French quarters proved as lengthy and as sinuous as Odysseus’ journey from Troy to Ithaca.  Stone-walled corridors––trimmed with lancet windows and vibrant stained glass––released into golden-domed atria and vaulted antechambers, endowed with commanding views of the Palace’s courtyards, the swirling steam of the river, the Vasilyeviches’ private gardens and their pactolian chambers, the walls of which were delicately painted as though the room, itself, were a jewelry box: masterly flecks of gold and opal and emerald whirled into the faces of heraldic Saints.  Helena was shepherded through such warrens of majesty by a competent Frenchwoman, presumably induced in the service of the countess––the woman’s humble face a round, indistinct moon, engraved with a dour expression that Helena recognized in the countenances of Charles’ countrymen.
The caprices of Nature had favoured Helena’s jaunt.  Streaks of multicolored light streamed into the corridor––oozing through the mosaics of Theotokos and Christ and Saint Olga––and bathed the thin arches of Helena’s high forehead, the apples her cheeks, in prisms of topaz and andesine.  The clement morning sun; the breeze gently undulating and perfumed with fresh blossoms; the clear skies absent of Moscow’s malicious vagaries, a balmy vignette of the Heavens above.  Fair weather would bode well, in any event, for the purpose of the Princess’ reception.  As she neared the vestibule of the Frankish king’s throne room, Helena’s lady swept to smooth the jacinth-hued silks of her tunic into orderly submission––its brilliant yellow-red thread blazoned against Helena’s rich skin and the gossamer linen of her veil.  Helena commanded the woman to step aside, flickering an unshrinking brow at the eunuch who guarded Charles’ quarters.  Obliged, the eunuch then bludgeoned his staff against the marble floors below and pried open a pair of myrrh doors; granting Helena access into Charles’ lion’s den.
Silence descends upon the assembly of courtiers.  Musicians cease their dreadful percussion and nobles their jovial chatter as the eunuch’s voice reverberates across the hall.
By Grace of God: Helena Palaiologina, Despoina of the Latin Empire.
Helena’s eyes find Charles––mounted on the throne––with ease; her gaze failing to stray as she makes the elaborate procession from the doors to the dais, like Lady Godiva riding through the streets of Coventry, balancing a pert smile upon her lips.  The despoina then drifted into a lowly bow; low enough that the metal rosary pinned to her tunic chimed against the floor, skimming the exquisite Turkish carpets unfurling toward the throne.  “Your Majesty,”  Helena sounded, her wide-eyed leer making an audacious sweep over the King.  From Charles’ throne, power and authority appeared to emanate, curling like white plumes of smoke over the bustling metropolis of Constantinople.  Helena felt a spark of pleasure––of joy––scale the chinks of her spine as his eyes settled heavily upon her, as blue as the feathers of a macaw.  Was this, Helena mused, the man with whom she’d be interred––entombed, a pair of cached bones, in some western Basilica: its doors and its alms flung open to the French people?  She casts her eyes, with feigned timidity, to her hands; admiring the jewels that adorned her lithe digits, her thin wrists.  The touch of his palm was burned there, the brush of his calloused fingers branded into the cream of her flesh.  It was a game, Helena knew: this flutter of her lashes, the twist of her mouth, the coquetry pearled on her tongue, for sobering reality had yet to sink its talons within her.
“I have come bearing gifts––that is, if you’ll spare a moment for a new friend?”

Highly enjoyable and recommended biography of King Francis I of France by Leonie Frieda. Francis’ reign coincided with those of a few of the most noticeable rulers just after the Middle Ages: Henry VIII of England and Emperor Charles V (not to mention the only Dutch Pope Adrian VI and Suleyman the Magnificent). These guys - who knew, sometimes allied with, but also fought each other - shaped much of the future of Europe and the world! #francisioffrance #leoniefrieda #history #historyofeurope #greatread #henryviii #charlesv (at Upper East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPwWeB6pp07/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reeds in 1547 werd gestart met versterkingen van de stad Vlissingen. Een bolwerk werd gebouwd onder bevel van Maria van Bourgondië, ontworpen door Donato de Boni di Pellezuoli, en vernoemd naar keizer Karel V. Het Keizersbolwerk diende ter bescherming van de doorvaart richting Antwerpen. Zowel Karel V als zijn zoon Filips II vertrokken vanaf dit punt voorgoed naar Spanje. Onder de Fransen werden de bolwerken zwaar verstevigd. Onder de verstevigde stadswal werd een doorgang gecreëerd langs de Kazematten. Deze doorgang is nu vrij toegankelijk en geeft een prachtig beeld op de Westerschelde. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog waren het de Duitsers die versterkingen aanbrachten als onderdeel van de Atlantikwall. Zo was er een torpedolanceerbatterij. Tijdens de Slag om de Schelde brachten geallieerde bombardementen hier grote schade aan. —————— As early as 1547 fortifications were build at Vlissingen by the Spanish who ruled The Netherlands. These fortifications were ment to protect the harbour of Antwerp. From this fortress both Phillips II, as his father Charles V, left their Dutch possessions from this spot. When the French troops of Napoleon were in The Netherlands fortifications were strengthened against a British invasion. These casemates were build in 1811 and included a passage fo the beautiful Westerschelde. During World War 2 it were the Germans who strengthened the area as part of the Atlantikwall. Torpedoes were stored here and shipping on the Westerschelde was under threat. This led to the Battle of the Scheldt in November 1944. #kazematten #vlissingen #poort #gate #catch_holland #thenetherlands #napoleon #kriegsmarine #keizersbolwerk #karelv #charlesv #antwerpen #westerschelde #slagomdeschelde #battleofthescheldt #verborgenplekjes #spannendeplek #wandeleninnederland #wandelenmetkinderen #eropuit #eropuitmetkinderen #nederlandheeftalles #nederland #zeeland #zeelandismooi #ontdeknederland #vlissingenboulevard #noordzee #historyfound (bij De Kazematten) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRhpMQ3sP_D/?utm_medium=tumblr

Do you remember the story of Medusa the Gorgon?
Medusa was cursed by Athena for desecrating her sacred temple, and the goddess turned her into a Gorgon. When Perseus the Greek hero came along and murdered her, he gave Medusa’s head to Athena as a tribute. Athena then took Medusa’s head and placed it on her shield, or in some versions her breastplate. Thus, Medusa’s head, slain, became the symbol of Athena’s victory.
👉 Medusa Shield of Charles V, 1541
Steel, silver, gold
This is one of the most dazzling pieces not only in the Royal Armory of Madrid and in the oeuvre of Filippo and Francesco Negroli, but also in the entire history of Western armor.
Form, color, and technique unite in a felicitous synthesis. The superlative gold-and-silver damascening creates an aureole around the Medusa head, which, with its rhythmically waving hair and delicately engraved wings, is modeled with rare mastery.

Помните знаменитую историю про Медузу Горгону?
Медуза была проклята Афиной за осквернение ее священного храма, и богиня превратила ее в Горгону (змееволосое чудовище). Когда греческий герой Персей убил Медузу, он отдал ее голову Афине в качестве дани. Затем Афина поместила голову Медузы на свой щит или, в некоторых версиях, на нагрудник. Таким образом, голова Медузы стала символом победы Афины.
Несмотря на образ Медузы, о котором обычно говорят как о монстре, голова ее часто рассматривается как защитный амулет, способный оберегать от зла. Имя «Медуза» происходит от древнегреческого слова, означающего «защитница, повелительница».
👉 Щит Карла V с Медузой Горгоной, 1541 год
Сталь, серебро, золото
Это одно из самых великолепных ��роизведений не только в Королевской оружейной палате Мадрида и в творчестве мастеров Филиппо и Франческо Негроли, но и во всей истории западного оружейного искусства. Форма, цвет и техника исполнения сочетаются в прекрасном синтезе. Богатая отделка золотом и серебром создает ореол вокруг головы Медузы, которая с ее ритмично развевающимися волосами и изящно выгравированными крыльями выполнена с редким мастерством.
