The War of the Crossed Keys was more than just a war—it was a battle for supremacy between Pope Gregory IX and Emperor Frederick II. Excommunicated yet undefeated, Frederick defied the papacy, crushed his enemies with military brilliance, and reshaped his empire through sweeping reforms. From his legendary Constitutions of Melfi to his dazzling court of scholars, poets, and exotic beasts, Frederick was a ruler unlike any other.

The Stupor Mundi being astonishing and brilliant, again. All things considered, he might have been the most singularly talented ruler ever, and, really, he’s sort of the father of the European continental absolutist state. I already watched it on Nebula, but I’m watching it again. Are the wallpapers from part 2 not available? They weren’t on the last Frederick II post.

Is anyone else wondering what would have happened if wi ~ fi had been around and Frederick II and the other characters in this series had had social media accounts?
