little humor... kiss kiss on river Lys. looking for possible places where Miluten and Charles C. Valois signed famous treaty, my investigation concluded this must be it :lol no marking no monument, nothing sadly, how fast French forget :) really place in France where river starts, pic from wiki... l...

...and Vukashin and Lazar - even in legendary way two maybe most implicated in end of holy line of Nemanjic - both died in some mega-battles with Turks, true medievalists will know that it looks like convinient redemtion or "white washing" etc. but again what to say with huge apetite of pa...

Ale

IDK, there are many spectacular things we talked inhere, really huge theories and possibilities, but all that concerning our fall and events in Rome as more than connected is huge as well - not due to anything else than it marked the end of state, while personally prefer much other things mentioned....

Ale

think this is my last but is important if lover so better now than never.... ) to understand events around "fall of Tusculum" history of that "commune of Rome" is great thing to know and basically important to note that Romans during whole continental events and often shadowed by...

Ale

also, change of subject, what is interesting (we don't know exact date but is guessed that it was his reign) and "great fit" to how i presented some things (not becuase i presented but as is closer to possible events) is that pope during "closing of Antivari archbishopric" was na...

Ale

problem with existing theories or quasi solutions - to say to people - is that they are basically founded on some wrong initial idea and then when faced with more probable ones it "shakes the (badly) founded basis"... for example if majority accept that earth is flat for example and then m...

Ale

yeah, something else from recent days.... love the subject, always shocks those not knowing and how many italian-latin we have missed to say - word we also share with Italians is "volja" or "volia" (in our original) meaning some "own wish, own initiative, desire to do etc&qu...

Ale

Christian, that's the name btw... wouldn't even post but had to as is funny and seems that Charles A. syndrome got me :) ....so are you sure your birthname wasn't Stefan, Christian? :) to post something substantial today, like that name game and how people often have wrong picture od some... so i ev...

Ale

something modern for fun, watched BBC (again)) for few minutes and cute blond guy, presenter Steven i think while talking about UK PM Starmer visit to Albania, unintentionally said something i hear for first time that UK (English)) govt have plans among other countries to use Serbia if agreement rea...

Ale

so to for end translate also this, although quite obvious for anyone having at least some knowledge, except historians :) for many reasons is obvious that "latin heresy" line wasn't his and somone inserted it ;.... excommunication and anathema per se didn't hurt us and Dushan that much (un...

At daybreak on Friday, 13 October 1307, hundreds of Templars in France were simultaneously arrested by agents of Philip the Fair This development conditioned the attitude of the Serbs, who under their king Stephen Uroš II Milutin established connections with Charles of Valois that culminated in the...

Ale

interesting is moment for lovers of subjects that - even considering this theme - that Dante put in same "place" and line in "comedy" exactly two total differences on question or opposite poles when it comes to Templars i.e. our king Miluten and Portugal king Denis I known as &qu...

Ale

to say also here that lovely detail by French historians how Charles (bloody Stefan?) Valois was "very strongly" against things happened to Molai of satanists :) what else to say things become "crystal clear" with small details... while Charles communicated with Miluten - and tha...

Ale

little music to break the mood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQtyO8dozDk more than obvious where i stand :) and not some fan.... don't mean band ) but really lines like "false accusations" and mythomania present even there ;.... we absolved that subject and "who was who in the zoo&q...

"Cities and castles are now empty. There is not left one man to seven women, and everywhere there are widows to still-living husbands." description of France in XII c (and onwards)) by st Bernard ; not to be mixed with dogs ) ...lovely while you don't have to be Einstein to figure it, loo...

Ale

repeat but details and to be clear to people reading only here.... not sure if i put it this clear before Philip IV - dies (to me) under suspicious circumstances, his sons all forced to "change wives", some killed, line disapears. all natural causes.... after SU IV HIM there is "weak&...

Ale

really, to say also this speculatively but not unbasedly as ever - to many enthusiast and maybe even historians (but they are slaves of sources) it indeed looks like more that with Angevin "movements" and alliances (esp. overtake of Hungary, which did not have border with Byzant and there ...

Ale

Anna's sister Elisabeth and Simonida (a daughter of Anna's husband by his second wife) both married King Stefan Milutin of Serbia. (it is about Anna of Hungary btw) .... really poor Miluten and poor Rascia of the time, as said maybe biggest victim of "international conspiracy" of intellec...

Ale

you know also what is interesting interpretation (thanks to French for some details) beside my mentioned that "via Honorius we helped French and in return they promised firstborn daughter etc etc".... Honorius was indeed unusual and maybe of other faction as proposed and only Polish artist...

Ale

or, to correct myself, "Primates of Servia" even in latin script, usually it means nothing and is minor continentally but as latin mostly uses B instead and in this case important, if you followed my other posts ; Btw, looked at it, while archdioceses (or exarchates in other form, eastern)...

Ale

really don't know is there country (almost to say in the world but really don't know much about all) which history was more full of implants, twist, lies and similar not to use harsher words than this one.... really when you got into small details you get some real picture and 90% of various writing...

Ale

I'm guessing, considering all "controversies", that maybe whole facts about Angevine-Stefanide ) and Byzantine clashes in Albania are maybe later surfaced or something and are now known to us, but maybe not to earlier historians Wiki often quote unfortunately ;... so don't see what's probl...

Ale

Geanakoplos, while admitting that Michael was in contact with the leaders of the revolt beforehand, asserts "that Michael Palaeologus, on his part, had nothing to do with the incident at the church of Santo Spirito is beyond question." :lol laughing unimportantly, are kir Geanakoplos (Ame...

Ale

Philip IV was also - you know that joke but truth - unique and different as he was first king in a line of at least 3 French kings (maybe even 4 as Philip II "Augustanus" illnes wasn't specifically recorded) who did not die of dysentery/diarrhea, all 3 before him in some crusade :) ...so w...

Ale

yeah, another small and cute detail for our and French history lovers (beside adding that Miluten also "copied Louis", what Philip did as well, in some Mongol policy etc among other things mentioned similar)..... one whole unit (Turkopiles etc. but totally unimportant as various peoples of...

Ale

...and to repeat or say clearly - why we speculate or rather "see clearly" something about "Helen"... not because of Frankokratia or our ties or this - it is (quasi) important for continental history of time, plus people like it you know Templars, papal "skalp" pardon s...

Ale

History is - nice finish :) - not a "list of wishes" (if you try to "make-up" it) nor some set of personal wishes, if you are telling how things happened ;... Historians are slaves of sorces and their interpretation and they must use them, or it might be "totally unbased&quo...

Ale

photo from Wiki (Eng) article "sack of Constant", mosaic from one (it's Italy, birthplace of man who made our "horse" statue etc) church in Ravenna.... noticed instantly, hence guessing that 821 years later historians still have own dilemmas and interpret it wrongly, below pictur...

Ale

what should we talk today, my dears.... just shortly as is funny.... concepts so "batrayal" (guess by minority) as for example our stand with Byzant empire - biggest foe for centuries :) ...or by some, "betrayal" of Bulgaria, biggest foes for centuries :) and so on, in modern tim...

Ale

thought a lot about Blanche, really is it some hidden message by telling that she was "most photographed woman of our middle ages" (although many places related to her are ruined as said)... i mean why would it be if just some relative of Baldwin or Stefan Anjou, not even his daughter? Sim...

Ale

one thing, not bad to repeat now as i often don't say it concretely guessing that many know, that avoided both most fans but also many historians on subject and why it had that "weight" not just Murus or this or that - today is known, but it was also known for few knowledgeable and Romans ...

Ale

yes, again i find it interesting so to repeat here how many symbolism we accepted (or kept hehe) and many others abandoned but were their etc. from "sacra privata" to right shoulder cross, kolo-dance :) so also that 3 fingers and really many more.... forgot lesson nor important in details,...

Ale

Honorius III - as name says :) - to say to our history lovers from head, was relatively "OK" pope but far, far from perfect as he supported Louis VIII of France expansion south etc. Avignon became more French etc etc but compared to many others :) .... what is interesting from not so huge ...

Ale

also to say for other lovers of themes, mainly French (or Occitan etc) is detail i liked very much about papa-Jacques, great pope btw who always was photographed with waving 3 fingers :) .....namely he almost, considering how tense situation was (but he also was relatively forceles in central Italy ...

Ale

and beside given guidances on reading middle ages, other one - maybe most important :) - is that deep i.e. details knowledge is required ; ...it is indeed more about details and personalities on functions than functions, lines, branches and positions themselves etc.... while not true that negating f...

Ale

and BTW again, not to be some logical and historical mistake in interpret - non of our Nemanjic kings was completely some "Byzantophile" nor clash between them in dynasty was ever basically of some east and west-chruches in substance, just people to understand... when they clashed between ...

Ale

...as said i reject theories of Serb German origin (as well as Sarmat but some around, might be maybe more as they moved form some area more sourceful) while similarity with some "Suebi" for example exists etc (ironically it is our not pejorative but folk terms for Germs) not so much on ra...

Ale

that much on Barbarossa BUT (since we are on subject) what is, again but i did not explicitely said, concludable or "visible" or what some of us think is again touching Ludwig IV (Louis blasphemy)) Bavarian.... he might be much, much more involved in our events (indirectly so again not all...

Ale

and again, just for people reading it for first time or reading it but knowing nothing :) same as in case of Colonnas and as called them "interior ministry", again just because played mostly ghibelline card i.e. not playing i believe it was honest idea of old Ruma etc. so again nobody says...

Ale

yeah, this also anecdotal so when it is anecdote i always note ) but is based on truth, not continetal truth but older Levantine and biblical - in some sense insistance of such name in our Nemanjic rulers and others is as "Stefan was killed by Paul/Saul" etc. ;) ...but pure anecdote and my...

Ale

IDK about you, but to say for end ) it really is super interesting when you totally change prosepective or "point at looking at things" about middle ages, first of all totally exclude later times from your minds, second foreget about some priest's writing and their understanding ) of it an...

Ale

worst of all, he was talking something about "restoration", uncurable :) you know also what is interesting from some researches, but sit down as might be shocking ;..... Tusculum is - speculatively speaking in lack of sources but as ever zero fantasy - sooo interesting for us than is almos...

Ale

...whenever i see these negotiations i remeber line, i mentioned here few times as it is comical, of our king Milan (the Lombard also) who after wars of 1878 told to foreign diplomats (ancdotaly) "if you even thinking giving Nish (Naisus) to Bulgarian principlaity, better chop off my head and p...

Ale

btw, maybe, surelly less known detail but since i mentioned it - for some relations of "us" (lets say dominantely Bulgars and Serbs, but even there more Serbs as we were more "Roman" due to geography and maybe origin) with true Russian intellectuals and people with true, unbiased...

Ale

and, just for those maybe not reading outside, they both (Andrea and SU IV) compiled, refined laws and reformed legal system same year probably, like twins ) Oh such coincidence, they were not in contact! ....wonder did Andrea also included obligationary lines about "latin heresy" in his l...

Ale

...and - last one, really million subjects - to somehow logically "close circle", it is that shift from our papalism to gradual Colonnism ) i.e. some ghibellineism or rather dancing on and around it, made me sure that Colonna family i.e. some parts of it was the one for us.... would be to ...

Ale

and it is exactly that presence of Dandolos as doges in every "our" moment - to say merely for international readers - that causes "problems" (or some confusion) in interpretation of events from our side for really all continental historians and enthusiasts, to say if you followe...

Ale

and btw, i mean i already said that "nobody (in some alliances or wink-ones) talked to others about every detail" so we (anyone who see what i see) are not saying that Colonnas directed this or that move, nor Stefan (Charles but from some time i call him Stefan as you noticed and is super)...

Ale

btw, probably for end, while reading various wiki articles maybe last year etc. just to confirm what we all knew :) i ran into some article (to unimportant to ever look for it but there is) via outside link and some mini interview with don Prospero (he is public unlike some members and "don&quo...

Ale

pope Francesco has died, rip. was a good pope, not considering some global sense nor importance, but in some minor sense as not only Franciscans were close to our dynasty (but not as much as Colonnas)) nor some church issues, but he called patriarch of Serb church "as great and important" ...
