Sujets traités : Un élu colmarien agressé au couteau ! Les faits se sont produits samedi en début d'après-midi. Alors qu'Alain Ramdani, adjoint au maire en charge de la politique de la ville et vice-président de Colmar Agglo se déplaçait à vélo dans la rue Frédéric Kuhlmann, un automobiliste au volant d'une berline noire est arrivé à vive allure, dans la rue pourtant en zone 30. L'élu a demandé au conducteur de réduire sa vitesse, ce dernier a alors saisi l'homme politique par le col puis la tirer vers l'intérieur de la voiture. Après avoir menacé de mort Alain Ramdani, l'agresseur lui a placé un couteau type opinel sous la gorge. Sorti indemne physiquement, une plainte a été déposée et une enquête judiciaire a été ouverte. Un anniversaire en couleurs !

When we look back to medieval Europe, there are a handful legendary figures who stand out above the rest. Richard the Lionheart. Charlemagne. El Cid. And Frederick Barbarossa. A powerful emperor, focused crusader, and stubborn supporter in the middle of a papal schism, Barbarossa certainly made waves in the twelfth century, and left a lasting impression. This week, Danièle speaks with Graham Loud about how Barbarossa came to power, how he managed to reign supreme in both Germany and Italy despite some bumps along the way, and why he's sometimes revered as a once and future king in Germany.Listen to this episode ad-free at https://www.patreon.com/medievalists

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, plusieurs milliers de Français firent le choix de s'engager non pas dans la Résistance… mais dans les rangs de l'armée allemande. Parmi eux, environ 2 500 furent enrôlés dans la division Charlemagne, une unité de la Waffen-SS, l'aile militaire du parti nazi. Une décision choquante pour la mémoire collective, mais qui répond à des logiques idéologiques, politiques et personnelles complexes.Le contexte du recrutementDès 1941, après l'invasion de l'URSS par l'Allemagne nazie, le régime de Vichy et les collaborateurs parisiens intensifient leur propagande contre le "bolchevisme", présenté comme l'ennemi absolu. Dans ce climat, de nombreux Français issus de l'extrême droite, des milieux fascistes ou ultra-catholiques voient dans l'Armée allemande un rempart contre le communisme.C'est dans ce cadre que naît d'abord la Légion des Volontaires Français contre le Bolchevisme (LVF), en 1941, qui combat sous l'uniforme allemand sur le front de l'Est. Mais en 1943, la SS décide de créer une unité spécifique pour les volontaires étrangers : la division SS Charlemagne, formée en 1944 à partir des survivants de la LVF, de la Milice, et d'anciens membres de la Gestapo française.Pourquoi s'engager dans la Waffen-SS ?Les motivations sont multiples :Idéologiques : Certains étaient sincèrement acquis à l'idéologie nazie, admirateurs d'Hitler, antisémites convaincus ou anticommunistes radicaux.Politiques : D'autres voyaient l'adhésion à la Waffen-SS comme un moyen d'accélérer la collaboration entre la France et l'Allemagne, rêvant d'une Europe nouvelle, dirigée par l'Allemagne nazie.Opportunistes : Pour certains jeunes en rupture, engagés tardivement, c'était une voie pour échapper à la misère, à des poursuites judiciaires ou au Service du Travail Obligatoire (STO).Par fanatisme ou fatalisme : Surtout après la Libération, certains collaborateurs français rejoignent la Charlemagne comme dernier refuge, préférant fuir vers l'Est plutôt que de tomber aux mains des Alliés.La division Charlemagne sur le frontLa division est engagée en Poméranie début 1945, où elle subit des pertes terribles face à l'Armée rouge. Une centaine de survivants participe ensuite à la défense de Berlin en avril 1945, dans les tout derniers jours du régime nazi. Ces SS français figurent parmi les derniers défenseurs du bunker d'Hitler. Certains, comme Henri Joseph Fenet, se distinguent par leur fanatisme, recevant même des décorations nazies.Une mémoire taboueAprès la guerre, les survivants furent jugés pour trahison, certains exécutés, d'autres emprisonnés. Le sujet resta longtemps tabou en France, tant il heurtait l'image d'un pays tout entier résistant. Pourtant, l'histoire de la division Charlemagne rappelle que la collaboration militaire avec le nazisme a aussi été une réalité française — marginale, mais bien réelle. Hébergé par Acast.

What if one of the most iconic symbols of suffering and triumph in Christian history isn't what you think it is? Matt Lewis is joined by Dr. Faith Tibble to uncover the history and significance of the Crown of Thorns, exploring its Medieval - not ancient - origins, how this symbol evolved from a relic to a powerful icon of suffering and triumph and how kings used it to legitimise their rule by comparing themselves to Christ. They reveals the fascinating ways faith, art, and politics intertwined to shape the story of the Crown of Thorns.Vatican sarcophagus: https://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/collezioni/musei/museo-pio-cristiano/sarcofagi-_a-colonne/sarcofago-con-scene-della-passione-di-cristo.html More:Charlemagnehttps://open.spotify.com/episode/4zrQc5pHsqCjOSyQZ7m2vPGone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis.

De l'Antiquité à nos jours, Virginie Girod raconte le parcours rocambolesque de la Sainte Tunique, une relique christique conservée à Argenteuil depuis 1200 ans. Mentionnée dans les évangiles, ce tissu que la tradition associe à la Passion est offert à l'empereur Charlemagne au IXe siècle, qui le confie à sa fille, Théodrade. Cachée, redécouverte au gré des conflits religieux et civils, la Sainte-Tunique est, depuis lors, un objet de culte majeur. Ce récit a été réalisé en partenariat avec la ville d'Argenteuil, à l'occasion de l'ostension de la Sainte-Tunique, du 18 avril au 11 mai 2025 à la basilique d'Argenteuil. Distribué par Audiomeans.

Send us a textIn this second episode of a three part series, my favorite cohost Ellen and I survey the development of the papacy from the eighth through the early eleventh century. Among the topics we discuss are who and what the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties of Francia were; Pope Zacharias' legitimization of Pepin the Short's deposition of a puppet Merovingian king and his elevation to the throne; the "donation of Pepin" that created the papal states; the "Donation of Constantine," forged in the papal chancery to justify the donation of Pepin; the partnership between Charlemagne and the papacy in reforming the Western Church; Pope Leo III's coronation of Charlemagne as Emperor of the Romans on Christmas Day, 800; and how the papacy was reduced once again to being the local bishops of Rome under the control of the Roman aristocracy in the tenth century after the collapse of the Carolingian empire. This is the period that historians see as the nadir of the institution that featured some memorably bad popes, though we conclude with a few good ones under the Ottonian emperors.This episode includes audio snippets Musician Ernst Stolz playing the pilgrims' song,  "O Roma nobilis" on tenor vielle, recorder and gemshorn.

Direction la Centrafrique pour parler de la nostalgie des conducteurs des taxis et bus. Après l'indépendance en 1960, le secteur du transport en commun était dominé par ces véhicules qui circulaient dans toute la capitale à moindre coût, facilitant le déplacement des biens et des personnes. Mais après les crises sécuritaires qui ont secoué le pays, ce secteur est fragilisé en raison de la dégradation avancée des routes, du pillage des terminaux et des lieux de stationnement, du vol des véhicules et de la montée de l'insécurité qui empêchent taxis et bus de couvrir toute la capitale. Aujourd'hui, de nombreux propriétaires préfèrent remplacer leur taxi et bus par des moto-taxis, entraînant progressivement la disparition du noble métier de chauffeur. De notre correspondant à Bangui,Assis dans un fauteuil, Nathan se désaltère avec un sachet d'eau glacée. À cause de la chaleur, il a mis une serviette sur son épaule pour éponger de temps en temps sa sueur. À ses côtés, une dizaine d'autres conducteurs de taxis et bus sont installés sur des bancs, en forme de U. Nathan est devenu conducteur à la fin des années 1980.« L'activité des chauffeurs de taxis et de bus était au top. Il y avait plus de 5 000 bus qui desservaient une dizaine de lignes dans la capitale. Maintenant, on ne compte qu'une cinquantaine de bus qui desservent cinq lignes. À l'époque, dans la cabine, je gagnais 18 000 francs CFA par jour (27,45€) et mon receveur lui gagnait 20 000 francs CFA (30 euros). Maintenant, la recette des bus varie entre 6 000 francs CFA (9 euros) et 7 000 francs CFA (10,67 euros). »Ici, au terminal nord, seulement quatre bus des dix places desservent cette partie de la capitale. L'endroit est presque désert. À l'intérieur d'un bus de couleur verte stationné, quelques usagers patientent. Charlemagne regrette le bon vieux temps : « Il y avait un problème de transport. On se bousculait pour avoir une place dans un taxi ou un bus. Aujourd'hui, il nous faut patienter plusieurs minutes, le temps de remplir le véhicule. Je préfère les bus à cause de la sécurité, mais c'est désolant de constater leur disparition progressive. »À lire aussiCentrafrique: Igwé Motor, un service de motos-taxi plus sécuriséEn regardant cette scène de désolation, Nathan, nostalgique, affalé dans son fauteuil, secoue la tête : « Mon patron a vendu son bus pour acheter une dizaine de moto-taxis. Il a dit que les motos sont très rentables et ne paient aucune taxe. Maintenant, je me retrouve sans boulot. Je passe des journées entières ici, au terminal nord. Parfois, je remplace des collègues à l'heure de pause pour quelques minutes. Mais avec ce rythme, je n'arrive plus à joindre les deux bouts avec ma famille. »Non loin de là, Marius, un conducteur de taxi, se gare au bord de la route pour acheter des noix de colas chez un vendeur ambulant. Il n'a pas envie de continuer la course : « Devenir conducteur de taxi a toujours été mon ambition. Contrairement aux décennies précédentes, le prix du carburant à la pompe a augmenté de 80%. Le terrain est devenu difficile et je n'ai plus envie de travailler, parce que les usagers ne s'intéressent plus aux taxis. »Selon le syndicat des taxis et bus, environ 5 000 conducteurs sont aujourd'hui au chômage. Quelques centaines se sont reconvertis et travaillent dans des organisations non gouvernementales.À lire aussiCentrafrique: dix conducteurs de moto taxis tués dans une embuscade vers Bria

Gary Petty and I talk about his recently published book Christendom. Available on  Amazon Here is a description of the book. For hundreds of years after the death of Jesus, the people who professed to be His followers faced persecution from the Roman Empire. Then a miracle seemed to happen to this fragmented and diverse religious movement. Emperor Constantine declared that he was a Christian, and then through the following decades attempted to create a unified Christianity. This effort to build a unified Christian church continued during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. This effort was a complex chronicle of theological debates, schisms, political intrigue, and violence, at times. The people and events intertwine with the collapse of the Roman Empire and the impact of Germanic culture on the church as well as with plagues, wars, Crusades, and repeated attempts to recreate a united Europe. The story includes Goths, Anglo-Saxons, Franks, Italians, Spanish, Vikings, Celts, Arabs, Jews, Mongols, and others whose identities have all but disappeared. Countless individuals played their parts in the events—Augustine and his mother Monica, who hailed from North Africa; Justinian and his wife Theodora from Byzantium; Charlemagne; Mohammed; and dozens of popes, peasants, aristocrats, priests, and warriors. All of them shaped the formation of Christendom—the Kingdom of God on earth—a kingdom that changed original Christianity until it would have been in many ways unrecognizable to Jesus' earliest followers. Christendom: The Kingdom that Changed Christianity is a companion book to Plato's Shadow: The Hellenizing of Christianity.   ___________   Gary Petty is an author and pastor known for his works on the historical and philosophical influences on Christianity, as well as guidance on managing personal conflicts. His notable publications include:​Better World Books+4Google Books+4ThriftBooks+4 Plato's Shadow: The Hellenizing of Christianity This book examines how Greek philosophy, particularly that of Plato, influenced early Christian teachings, leading to deviations from the original messages of Jesus and His apostles. ​Barnes & Noble The Mercy Effect: A Spiritual Guide for Managing Conflict In this work, Petty explores the spiritual roots of conflict and offers practical steps for resolving disagreements in various aspects of life, emphasizing the importance of mercy and forgiveness. ​Better World Books Christendom: The Kingdom That Changed Christianity Serving as a companion to 'Plato's Shadow,' this book delves into the transformation of Christianity during the formation of Christendom, highlighting how political and cultural shifts reshaped the faith. ​ThriftBooks+5Google Books+5Bookshop+5 These works reflect Petty's focus on understanding the historical contexts that have shaped modern Christianity and providing insights into personal spiritual growth.

The great Swiss city of Zurich is one of the more picturesque, pixel-burning European gateway destinations. Within minutes of exiting Zurich Airport, armed with my trusty Eurail Pass, I was blissfully whizzing into the city centre on a 10 minute train ride. Strolling across the cobbles of this time-honoured city in the crisp spring air, there's so much urban eye-candy to lift the spirit. I sized up the largest clock face in Europe, on the edge of the Limmat River. It's bigger than Big Ben. Riding the skyline, the historic tower of St Peter Church is imbued with a trusty timepiece, as are the oh-so punctual church bells that loudly reverberate across the Old Town from the four historic churches, including mighty Grossmunster Cathedral. No wonder everything runs to time in Switzerland. According to legend, Zurich's 13th-century landmark cathedral was founded by Charlemagne, built on the graves of the city's patron saints, Felix and Regula. It was also the starting place of the Protestant Reformation in Zurich. Culture is writ large in Zurich's Old Town, where the narrow-cobbled streets gave rise to the Dada art movement just over a century ago. I popped into Cabaret Voltaire, at Spiegelgasse 1, which was the birthplace of Dada and the avant-garde artistic movement in 1916. Absinthe is the drink of choice here, among Dada's ghosts. Strolling along Bahnhofstrasse, flanked by chic designer boutiques and swanky department stores, Café Sprungli deserves a pit-stop. This prized Zurich institution is rightly lauded for its heavenly macaroons and hand-crafted chocolates. They are like exquisite works of art – as were the Easter chocolate displays. It's like a bespoke art gallery in chocolate. Don't mind if I do. Further down the street, if feeling a little decadent, make a date with Teuscher for its famed champagne truffles. In a city of water and stone bridges, a top vantage point to survey the elemental landscape, above the twisting lanes of the Old Town, is the Lindenhof. This was the site of a former Roman customs house and fourth-century fort, perched above the water. Alongside soaking up the city vistas, this elevated park with its Linden trees and giant chess sets is the pitch-perfect spot for a cheeky picnic. The vast assortment of guildhalls is core to Zurich's backstory, and they're great fun to explore. In 1336, Zurich's first independent mayor, Rudolf Brun, established the guild laws, effectively shifting power from the abbeys to the merchant nobility. The handsome guildhalls, with all their intricate decorative features, lend themselves to a leisurely inspection. I started at the bakers' guild, in Oberdorfstrasse, before heading over the river's east bank to Niederdorf, to admire the guilds of the carpenters, builders, the food and wine dealers, the textiles and spice merchants, all along Limmatquai. Then, on Munsterhof, you've got mansions of the weavers, saddlemakers, painters and winemakers. In German-speaking Zurich, the street food tradition of wurst remains wildly popular – particularly for lunch. In the Old Town, tuck into some great sausage at Wursteria by Hinz and Kunz. This part-butcher shop and part deli serves up super spicy bratwurst in a fluffy bun. So good! As its name suggests, Cafe Conditorei 1842, on Napfgasse, is an old-school establishment, chock-full of sweet indulgence. Spanning four floors, food lovers can enjoy patisserie, cakes and hot drinking chocolate – they claim to be Zurich's best. On the ground floor of this historic confectioner's store, impressively decorated in neo-baroque style, you'll struggle to find a finer array of patisserie, cakes and tarts. I could have stayed there all day. And yes – the steaming mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream was magnificent. Speaking of chocolate, the Lindt and Sprungli factory has called Zurich home, since 1899. Seven years in the making, Lindt Home of Chocolate, was designed to complement the historic building and serve as a beacon to chocolate lovers everywhere. From cultivation to production, the interactive museum does a sterling job telling the story of Swiss chocolate making, not only about Lindt, but its predecessors. While the maze of white, milk, and dark chocolates is impressive, the Lindt Home of Chocolate also boasts another record: the world's largest chocolate fountain. Standing at about 30 feet tall, even Willy Wonka would be impressed by this show-stopper. Zurich is home to FIFA's world headquarters and in a bid to stop pesky football fans from loitering in the lobby, the FIFA Museum was created nine years ago, in the heart of town. Spread over three floors and loaded with interactive exhibitions, the FIFA Museum examines all aspects of the global game and how it passionately stirs people's emotions. Football is the great equaliser. Along with the original FIFA World Cup Trophy, the museum displays over 1,000 items of exclusive memorabilia and apparel, including the national shirts of all FIFA member associations. The original trophy, which features a gold statuette of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, holding a cup, was permanently awarded to Brazil after they won the cup for the third time, in 1970. The current trophy contains 5kg of pure gold and its estimated value is over NZ$30m. A highlight amongst the interactive games gallery is the gigantic pinball machine, where you can test your own ball kicking skills. With the next World Cup just a year away and featuring the All Whites for just the third time, add this museum to your check-list. Creating quite a buzz in recent years, Zurich-West has been spectacularly transformed from a once scruffy industrial district. Emerging as a vibrant cultural quarter of trendy eateries and edgy art, factories have been repurposed as theatres and shipyards reimagined as art galleries. Viadukt is an exemplary example of the makeover, with a host of eateries, pop-up shops and art spaces housed inside the arches of the disused, 550-feet long railway viaduct. You'll also find Prime Tower here, a 35-storey skyscraper (Switzerland's tallest), serving up a panoramic treat across Zurich's rooftops, gleaming lake and snow-coated peaks beyond. Take in the sweeping scenery over a drink or two at Clouds Bar – and salute your return to Europe. The locals are very proud of the city's brilliant and bizarre festivals. In August Zurich hosts Street Parade, one of Europe's biggest celebrations of peace, love and electronic music, attended by millions of people. In a couple of weeks, the city grinds to a halt for Seschselauten. This annual April spectacle involves setting on fire a giant straw snowman called the Boogg. The time it takes for the Boogg's head to explode indicates whether it will be a good summer, apparently. The word is Zurich is in for a long, warm summer. Perfectly poised overlooking Paradeplatz, the city's most prestigious address, the Mandarin Oriental Savoy Hotel offers a stylish stay to remember, when in Zurich. Just steps from the city's iconic shopping sweep of Bahnhofstrasse, it's been just over a year since the Mandarin Oriental revitalised what has been Zurich's oldest grand hotel, reaching back to 1838. Elegantly and artfully refreshed, with a boutique hotel vibe, the 80 impeccably redesigned rooms and suites raise the bar on luxury and indulgence. There's four distinctive dining venues including the Michelin-starred Orsini, where the Italian fine dining experience is helmed by acclaimed two-Michelin starred Italian Consultant Chef Antonio Guida. Then there's 1838, the effervescent rooftop bar with its spell-binding panoramic vistas of the city, lake and serrated Swiss Alps. Plus Savoy Brasserie & Bar is a sure-bet for a stupendous breakfast, with an delightfully presented buffet selection, in addition to a la carte menu items. Accommodations take their design cues from the natural palette of Zurich, headlined by the artisanal hand-painted silk wallpapers, inspired by the aqua green and blue hues of the lake and sky, to the mist of the surrounding mountains. Meticulously crafted design elements and materials adorn the rooms. Accents of colour are also reflected in custom furniture and carpets. Principal materials include walnut as a common thread, touches of bronze and brass and enamelled lava together with the comfort of luxurious textiles. Throughout the hotel, I loved admiring the multitude of sculptural lighting fixtures and lamps. I stayed in the Munsterhof Suite, accentuating the sumptuous sense of comfort, glamour and space, loaded with indulgent touches. There's a personal cocktail bar, built-in headboards, sublime marble-clad bathrooms and expansive walk-in dressing areas.

In war the battlefield is always changing, but what happens when the mind of the average person becomes the battlefield. Military victories used to hinge on casualties inflicted and territory taken, now control of information can be just as important.

Nous sommes à l'été 782. Cela fait dix ans déjà que Francs et Saxons se cherchent, mais aucun camp ne parvient à prendre l'avantage et la guerre est ravageuse. Charlemagne veut absolument étendre son territoire vers l'Est et doit donc écraser toute résistance. Cette année-là, le roi des est informé du soulèvement des peuples aux frontières de son royaume. Ses espions et ses éclaireurs lui apprennent que des Slaves sont entrés en territoire saxon et que Widikund, le chef de ses adversaires, prépare une armée pour lancer une nouvelle offensive. D'après les « Annales royales des Francs », dans la version dite d'Eginhard, on peut lire que le comte Théodoric « donna aux ambassadeurs le conseil de s'enquérir aussi vite que possible, par des espions, du lieu où étaient les Saxons, de ce qui se passait au milieu d'eux, et de les attaquer tous ensemble, si la nature des lieux le permettait. (…) A mauvais préparatifs, mauvaise issue, ajoute l'auteur de la première biographie de Charlemagne, car les Francs, entourés par les Saxons, furent presque tous massacrés (…). Sous quelle forme l'espionnage se pratique-t-il au Moyen Âge ? Quelles sont les moyens militaires, diplomatiques et politiques mis en œuvre ? La dissimulation, l'imposture, la trahison, l'intoxication, relèvent-elles déjà de l'art consommé du renseignement ? Avec nous : Valentin Baricault. Auteur de « L'espionnage au Moyen Âge » ; éd.

Charleston then spoke about his decision to quit drinking alcohol because he felt it interfered with his stage routine during comedy performances. He also discussed his recent arrest for animal cruelty, which involved playing around and shooting a cat with a water-filled mace gun. The interview took an unexpected turn when Charleston spoke about the passing of a rapper from Texas named Lil Ronnie. He shared the tragic story of the shooting at a car wash and his subsequent back-and-forth with the mother of his child, who had been seen online dancing with a stack of money at a candlelight vigil. Charleston also addressed the derogatory remarks he had made towards Lil Ronnie's baby mother. Charleston responded to Gillie The King's recent remarks on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, where Gillie expressed his refusal to accept Charleston's apology for his comments about his son. In the final segment, Charleston discussed his thoughts on President Donald Trump's accomplishments so far. He also talked about the recent back-and-forth between Stephen A Smith and LeBron James regarding Stephen A's remarks about LeBron James' son, Bronny.

Charleston reaffirmed his belief in Jay Z's innocence during the sexual assault claims, citing the accuser's audio recording of lying about the situation. He then addressed the recent comments from Hollywood A-list actor Anthony Mackie, asserting that success is not earned but rather given. Charleston also commented on the Diddy case, where CNN reported that the original video of him assaulting Cassie had been altered and subsequently destroyed, fueling speculation about Diddy's potential innocence. He shared his thoughts on the recent Tank Davis vs Lamont Roach boxing match. Charleston discussed his beef with Cam Newton, alleging that Cam tried to exploit him and portray him as inferior. He also revealed behind-the-scenes issues with Shannon Sharpe, explaining why he hasn't been a guest on Club Shay Shay. Additionally, he discussed his reasons for not being on The Breakfast Club, citing Charlemagne the God and DJ Envy's disapproval. He discussed his teenage snitch video being revealed and his thoughts on it. Charleston hinted at an upcoming interview on the Joe Rogan podcast.

Les Allemands ne peuvent plus vendre aussi facilement leurs berlines, alors ils vont se mettre à vendre des blindés. Cette phrase très forte, lâchée par un grand patron français et reprise par mes confrères du Financial Times, résume à elle seule le séisme qui secoue l'Europe. Et ce séisme a un nom Donald Trump ! Trump, l'homme qui a menacé l'OTAN, qui a courtisé la Russie, attaqué l'Union européenne à coups de tarifs douaniers et encouragé les populistes sur le Vieux continent, pourrait donc bien décrocher malgré lui le titre de plus grand artisan de l'unité européenne depuis des décennies. Alors pourquoi ? Mais parce qu'au lieu de s'effondrer sous la pression, l'Europe se ressoude. Pas par amour, non, mais par instinct de survie, comme le démontre très bien le Financial Times. Alors, première secousse la défense : jusqu'ici, vous le savez bien, les Européens vivaient sous le parapluie militaire américain, confortablement installé dans l'illusion d'une protection éternelle. Et puis Trump a commencé à traiter l'OTAN comme un service d'abonnement qu'il pourrait donc couper à sa guise sur un coup de tête. Le résultat, c'est que l'Union européenne met sur la table 150 milliards d'euros pour renforcer son industrie de défense et réduire sa dépendance aux armes et aux technologies américaines. Et donc, l'Allemagne, qui a été longtemps pacifiste par nécessité, voit désormais l'intérêt économique de ce virage… Mots-Clés : berlines, blindés, dette commune, hérésie, pandémie, Covid 19, dogme, rigueur budgétaire, dollar, stable, girouette, tempête, Berlin, changer de ton, marché obligataire, européen, euro, alternative, Brexit, Royaume-Uni, Union européenne, Amérique, Londres, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, question ukrainienne, alliance militaire, tabou, débat explosif, disputes, gestion, milliards, douleur, contrainte, crises, union monétaire, naissance, construction, chaos, césarienne, rôle de catalyseur, Prix Nobel de la paix, Charlemagne, récompense, unité. --- La chronique économique d'Amid Faljaoui, tous les jours à 8h30 et à 17h30.

In the 8th Century an exorcism was performed on a 16 year old girl.  The girl began to speak in Latin, which she did not know, claiming to be a demon named Wiggo.  The demon claimed to have been roaming the countryside doing terrible things because the lack of piousness and Christian behavior of the people and their leaders allowed his presence.  Was this a case of demonic possession or a cover for the priest and chronicler to publish a critique of the powers that be under cover of claiming it was spoken by a demon.  Take a listen and see what you think.

History is full of dysfunctional families, but few more so than the Carolingian ruling clan. The empire was at the height of its power under renowned ruler Charlemagne. But just two generations later, in the year 841 AD, his grandsons were locked in a vicious contest for power and control. This jockeying culminated in the bloody pitched battle of Fontenoy – a key moment in a civil war that shattered an empire and reshaped Europe, according to Professor Matthew Gabriele and David M Perry in their new book, Oathbreakers. David Musgrove spoke to them to find out more about the shocking aftermath of this crisis.

The medieval world – for all its plagues, papal indulgences, castles, and inquisition trials – has much in common with ours. People living the Middle Ages dealt with deadly pandemicsmass migration, and controversial technological changes, just as we do now.Today’s guest, Dan Jones, author of POWERS AND THRONES: A New History of the Middle Ages looks at these common features through a cast of characters that includes pious monks and Byzantine emperors, chivalric knights and Renaissance artists. This sweep of the medieval world begins with the fall of the Roman empire and ends with the first contact between the Old World and the New. Along the way, Jones provides a front row seat to the forces that shaped the Western world as we know it. This is the thousand years in which our basic Western systems of law, commerce, and governance were codified; when the Christian Churches matured as both powerful institutions and the regulators of Western public morality; and when art, architecture, philosophical inquiry and scientific invention went through periods of seismic change. We discuss:• The height of the Roman empire and its influential rulers, as well as the various reasons it fell, including climate change pushing the Huns and so-called “barbarian” tribes to the empire’s borders.• The development of Christianity and Islam, as well as the power struggles and conflict ignited in the name of religion, chivalric orders such as the Knights Templar, and the rise of monasteries as major political players in the West.• The intimate stories of many influential characters of the Middle Ages, such as Constantine I, Justinian, Muhammad, Attila the Hun, Charlemagne, El Cid, Leonardo Da Vinci, Genghis Khan, Marco Polo, Martin Luther, and many more.• The development of global trade routes and commerce across Europe, Asia, and Africa and the expanding map during the Age of Exploration.• The Black Death, which decimated up to sixty percent of the local population in the fourteenth century and led to widespread social unrest and the little Ice Age, the period between 1300-1850 triggered by volcanic activity that created a climate so regularly and bitterly cold that it contributed to the Great Famine of 1315-21.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“And from that moment on, he was addressed as emperor and Augustus!” The coronation of Charlemagne on Christmas Day 800 AD, is one of the landmark moments in all world history. More than three centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, the emperors had returned once more, and a Caesar ruled in Rome. But how did this legendary event come to pass? For many years Charlemagne, though a formidable figure, had been but one power player in the game of empires, competing with the emperor of Constantinople and the new Pope in Rome. Then, in 797 a spectacular crisis struck Constantinople. The cruel and politically feckless emperor, Constantine VI, was ruthlessly usurped by his mother, Irene, who became the first and only ruling empress in the whole sweep of Roman history. In the West though, her rule as a woman was not acknowledged. To Charlemagne, then, it seemed the perfect opportunity to claim the vacant throne. What unfolded after this would see Rome and Constantinople lock horns in a terrible power struggle, involving blindings, mutilation and political scheming. With Charlemagne acting as arbiter between them, would he take the ultimate step and become, for the first time since 476 AD, the emperor in Rome? Join Tom and Dominic for the climax of their epic series on Charlemagne: the Frankish king turned emperor, who transformed the western world forever. What would become of his mighty empire, faced with Saracen pirates, vikings and division? _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Editor: Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

“Here was a program to wet the ambitions of warlords as well as scholars, and to send men into battle beneath the fluttering of banners, the hiss of arrows, and the shadow of carrion crows…” The year is 777 and Charles the Great - Charlemagne - has ruled as joint king of the Franks alongside his brother, Carloman, for nine years. Now though his brother and greatest impediment to sole authority has died under mysterious circumstances. The sole successor to the mighty Carolingian dynasty, then, Charlemagne behaves differently from all the Frankish warlords that have come before him. In the aftermath of the once great Roman Empire, he seems to have modelled himself on the image an Augustus, pushing the already formidable kingdom that he has inherited towards greater and greater dominion. In his sights now are the Saxons, long growing fractious in Germany, and also the terrifying Lombards. The campaigns that ensued would be more ruthless than any before, with Charlemagne himself personally leading his men into battle. But his regime is not only one founded upon the blade of a sword and militaristic might, it is also a religious and educational revolution. It would utterly transform the west forever, introducing widespread writing and learning, and Christianising vast swathes of Europe - poor and elite alike. But Charlemagne's total dominion of the West was still incomplete. What would happen next? Join Tom and Dominic as they delve deeper into the rise of the mighty Charlemagne: his transition to sole ruler of the Franks, his violent militaristic conquests, and a Christian regime that would change the world.  _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Editor: Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

The Frankish king, Charlemagne the Great, is one of the titanic figures of European history, simultaneously renowned and shadowy. His rise to supreme power is a staggering story of warring religious empires, betrayal, battle, blindings and brutal conquest. How, then, did this one time Frankish interloper become the father of Europe, progenitor of a Holy Roman Empire whose descendants would rule right up until the time of Napoleon, and Emperor of the West? It begins in 741 AD when, following the death of the Frankish leader Charles Martel - ‘The Hammer' - his two sons, Carloman and the pious by ruthless Pepin were forced to look to the Pope in Rome, then a subsidiary to the Byzantine empire, to buttress their authority. The Pope too was increasingly embattled at that time, struggling against invasions by the ferocious Germanic Lombards from the north of Italy. Desperate, he called upon Pepin for aid. So it was that, after his brother's abdication, Pepin was officially anointed by the Pope as the sole King of the Franks, before crossing the Alps and smashing Lombardy. After his death, he would leave his kingdom the foremost power in Western Europe, and in the hands of to his own two sons: Carloman and Charles, later known as Charlemagne. A terrible power struggle would ensue… Join Tom and Dominic for this next instalment of their mighty series on the Franks and the rise of Charlemagne. How would Charles' and Carloman's battle for power play out? _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Editor: Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.
