In 855, the Carolingian king Lothar II was married to the aristocratic Teutberga for political reasons. But there was a third person in the relationship — Waldrada of Lotharingia. Their affair led to a prolonged and messy battle by Lothar II to secure a divorce from Teutberga, which involved Charles the Bald, Louis the German and two Popes. On this edition of Gone Medieval, Matt Lewis talks to Dr. Chris Halsted to find out more about Waldrada's incredible story and the greatest medieval divorce scandal.This episode was edited by Joseph Knight and produced by Rob Weinberg.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians including Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.

We continue our investigations into Lost Dutch Mass (See Episode 25 Niew Nederlandt). On most early maps the area of current Boston Harbor is recorded as “Vos Haven”. Vos Haven is Dutch for Fox Harbor. This was no doubt named because of the abundance of foxes which are still prevalent in Massachusetts today. As the English gradually became dominant in the region and took more territory through a series of global and local conflict they replaced Dutch names with English ones. However, the English still had a problem with names that many people were already familiar with. The Puritans may have come up with a clever solution to make a particular place “english” while preserving the moniker travelers were used to. In order to understand this we have to plunge into the history of how Massachusetts capital got its name which on inspection starts to fall apart. The Puritan Colony capital went through a few iterations before a name was selected but it seems to have been pulled out of thin air. Stories and explanations may have been backfilled later. Listen to the episode to learn more. Also explained in detail is exactly how the Dutch lost their massive global empire. We reference Lotharingia by Simon Winder which covers the lost European country of Lotharingia. Not only is this a good reference for our topic it also illustrates how such large territories can be erased from maps and forgotten.  Show notes, sources and more information at LostMassachusetts.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lostmass/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lostmass/support

Lotharingia: A Personal History of Europe's Lost CountryIn 843 AD the territory of Emperor Charlemagne was divided between his three surviving grandsons. One inherited the area now known as France, another Germany and the third received the piece in between: Lotharingia, a huge swath of land that stretched from the mouth of the Rhine to the Alps. Simon Winder explains how the dynamic between these three great zones has dictated much of our subsequent fate. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When last we left off in the political narrative Emperor Charles the Bald died after nearly reuniting the Carolingian Empire. From his base in West Francia he conquered Italy, then Lotharingia and marched east to conquer the German lands. A disastrous battle forced him to retreat, and the empire remained fragmented. Before we move forward […]

Charlemagne's descendant, King Lothar II, is unhappy. He wants to crown his mistress queen, but, well... there's the small matter of his wife. In the scandalous divorce case that follows and Bishop Hincmar of Reims' critical reaction, morality, mayhem, and magic play starring roles. Is witchcraft to blame for the king's distress?  Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben, featuring the voice talents of Jack Krause and Joshua Summit, with original music by Purple Planet.  EnchantedPodcast.net Facebook/enchantedpodcast Instagram/enchantedpodcast Twitter/enchantedpod Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/enchantedpodcast)

Following on from his bestselling and hugely entertaining Germania and Danubia, Simon Winder continues his idiosyncratic journey through Europe’s past with Lotharingia (Picador). Now almost forgotten, Lotharingia arose from the ashes of the Carolingian Empire and stretched from the North Sea coasts of what is now the Netherlands all the way to the Alps, encompassing myriad languages and nationalities. Despite its disappearance and ensuing obscurity Lotharingia, Winder shows, has exercised a surprising and powerful influence on the history of the continent of Europe, from the Early Middle Ages to the present day. Winder was in conversation about Europe’s lost country with psychoanalyst and essayist Adam Phillips. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The disintegration of Charlemagne’s empire at the end of the 9th century left the lowlands part of a larger entity, Lotharingia, wedged between two much more powerful kingdoms, East and West Francia. If you were an ambitious noble, controlling one of the many small, swampy territories and you wished to move yourself up into a more prominent position, what would you do? Well, what lots of them chose to do was switch allegiances to and fro between the great powers on either side whenever they deemed it politically necessary and beneficial to do so.
