The words High and Late Middle Ages conjures up images of fog rising up over a field where knights in shining armor are trading blows with double handed swords, mighty bishops overseeing the construction of monumental cathedrals and peasants toiling on the land as serfs. The reason we see it that way goes back to the chivalric literature that celebrated the aristocratic lifestyle where tournaments and poetry mattered more than the humdrum world of business.But let's just take a look back at the High Middle Ages, the time of Richard the Lionheart, Saint Louis and Frederick Barbarossa. Who controlled access to the great endeavor of the time, the conquest of the Holy Land? Who re-opened up the connections to the wider world, from Novgorod to India and China? Who were the most ferocious fighters who neither expected norgranted any quarter? Who had all the money?These were the great cities of Italy, of Flanders, of Picardie and Provence and of the Holy Roman Empire. Verona under the Della Scala in the 14th century generated tax revenues twice as high as those of England, Venice capacity was sixty percent of what France could generate. And these cities fielded armies that, as we know, defeated the Holy Roman Emperors, even the most capable ones like Barbarossa and Frederick II time and time again. Their absolute dedication to fight to the end was evidenced by their extremely heavy and slow war carts, the Carroccios and by the bravery of the Flemish Militia at the Battle of the Golden Spurs. And the first European since Roman times to make to India and China wasn't a Knight errant, but a Venetian merchant, nor were the vast lands on the Eastern side of the continent linked up by military force. The crusades, the grand project of the age was as much a venetian mercantile adventure as a religious pilgrimage, culminating in the sack of Constantinople in 1204. What happened? Where did all these city states go? And why?That is what we are going to discuss today, when we look at the showdown between Maximilian of Habsburg, widower of the last duchess of Burgundy and father of Philip, the universally recognised heir of the Low Countries and the Flemish cities, and specifically its largest, the city of Ghent.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts....

Last time, we explored Veronese's dazzling Wedding Feast at Cana a Venetian marvel painted for a monastery refectory and admired there for over two hundred years. Today, we follow the painting into a very different world: war, politics, plunder, restoration disasters, and an ongoing question of art crimes and restoration. Once again my main source for today is the excellent book Napoleons plunder by Cynthia Saltzman Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/panamepodcast. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to The Mouthpiece. This has been a ROUGH Thanksgiving week, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm going crazy! **My Painful Week:** * My recent medical procedure in Seattle was supposed to bring relief, but it's only made my pain WORSE. It's been a really, really rough 7-8 days, and I'm so frustrated. * This pain has kept me from playing poker for THREE WEEKS – the longest drought of my life! I even had to miss a live-stream $30-40k game at The Venetian and turn down a 50% freeroll to the Bahamas. It's driving me F***ING CRAZY! **NFL Betting Nightmare:** * This week was a total disaster! My first losing NFL week in 8 weeks, going 4-6 in pick'em after my dog bets got crushed. * My two best bets, Detroit -10 and Bucs +7, never stood a chance. * The Rams are cursed! I'm now 0-5 betting on them, losing big games where they either blew huge leads or got unbelievably unlucky. Seriously, what is going on? * I had a chance to win $65,000 in a Survivor pool, but Bryce Young is SO BAD! Watching him throw into quadruple coverage on 1st and goal from the 1-yard line was unbelievable. * The Colts' coach is a 'f***ing idiot' for throwing the ball 9 straight times in the 4th quarter with the best running back in the league and blowing an 11-point lead against the Chiefs. That was criminal coaching! * These coaches are terrible! I've never seen worse play-calling. Even the Cardinals' coach couldn't call a timeout on 1st and goal with 25 seconds left! **My Controversial Takes:** * The Patriots are 'drawing dead' for the Super Bowl. They won't win a playoff game – I'll bet anyone 100-1! * Lamar Jackson looks 'absolutely horrible,' and the Ravens will lose to the Bengals this week. * Matthew Stafford is winning MVP – I put down $32,250 on it! Who's going to beat him with 28 straight TDs and 0 picks? * The Eagles are NOT Super Bowl contenders. Their offense is 'anemic,' and their defense is 'horrible.' They're 'drawing dead' to the Rams or Seattle in the playoffs. * F1 is a JOKE! I went on a full-blown rant about how fake, scripted, and ridiculous Formula 1 is. It's the 'dumbest sport I've ever seen.' No passing, just blocking, and a 'horrible spectacle.' **Other Thoughts:** * The Lakers look good! * Bitcoin is doing alright, up to 88! * And don't even get me started on the ridiculousness of gambling corruption in sports history. Looking ahead to Thanksgiving weekend, I'm hoping for some better luck. We'll see what happens with my next procedure and if I can finally get back to the tables! **Join the Conversation!** Call us at 702-329-0480 to share your thoughts, or email MouthpiecePodcast@gmail.com.

Material culture -- textiles, ceramics, furniture, even the games people played -- offers us a window into the lived experiences of a diverse society. From the grandeur of the Lusignan court, with its opulent gold-threaded tapestries and Venetian clocks, to the humble cooking vessels of the lower classes, these artifacts reveal not only economic and social divides but also cultural exchanges that blurred the lines between Greek, Latin, and near east traditions. Yet, uncovering these details isn't always straightforward. Archaeological investigations of medieval Cypriot settlements are scarce, and much of what we know comes from written accounts--travelers and chroniclers who marveled at the wealth of the island's nobility, or from the inventories of figures like Guy d'Ibelin, a bishop whose possessions reflected both his monastic vows and his feudal status. What can the material culture of medieval Cyprus tell us about its people, their identities, and their aspirations? How did objects serve as status symbols, as well as tools of everyday survival? And what challenges do historians and archaeologists face in reconstructing the material world of the past--especially for those at the lower rungs of society? Joining me in this episode is Dr. Maria Parani to help us piece together this fascinating mosaic of history.
The Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos is renowned for her large-scale sculptural pieces which have featured in galleries across the world. She has used materials such as fabric, plastic and even tampons to construct her works. In June 2018 her exhibition I'm Your Mirror opened at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. For this Joana made a series of new sculptures, including an enormous Venetian-style mask, made of overlapping mirrors. The construction of the huge mask was a process full of challenges as the enormous structure took shape in Joana's Lisbon studio. In this programme Anna McNamee follows Joana through the process of working with the mirrors and explores how the piece is designed, shaped and packed up ready to begin its journey to Bilbao.

In this episode, Stauney and Sadie step inside the world of Isabella Stewart Gardner, the eccentric American collector who refused to play by Boston's rules and built a museum that doubled as her personal artistic manifesto. They unpack Isabella's life as a patron and tastemaker, her bold curatorial choices, and the unconventional vision behind Fenway Court—a Venetian-inspired home filled with masterpieces, orchids, and her own unapologetic flair. The conversation then turns to one of the most infamous art heists in history.

In 1612—just one year after Shakespeare wrote The Tempest—Venetian physician Santorio Santori transformed Galileo's simple thermoscope into the world's first thermometer by adding a calibrated scale and sealing the device. His invention marked the birth of quantified medicine, turning vague sensations of “hot” and “cold” into measurable data that could guide treatment. In this episode, historian of medicine Dr. Fabrizio Bigotti joins us to explore Santorio's remarkable innovations, how they predated Galileo's own instruments, and why this quiet inventor deserves recognition as the true father of the thermometer.

The espionage TV series, Homeland, brought David Harewood international fame but he is also known as the first Black actor to play Othello at the UK's National Theatre when he was in his early 30s. Now, aged almost 60, he is reprising the role of the Moor in Shakespeare's tragedy. The character of Othello is a skillful General, and the only person of colour in the Venetian army. He and Desdemona, the daughter of a rich and prominent citizen, fall in love and marry, against her father's wishes. This autumn's production at the Haymarket Theatre in London's West End is directed by Tom Morris, who co-created War Horse, which has been seen by more than eight million people around the world. Caitlin Fitzgerald stars as Desdemona and Toby Jones as Iago, with music by P J Harvey. Julian May follows David Harewood, Tom Morris and the cast from the beginning of rehearsal to the opening night as they work together to bring to light the dark themes of power, rage and desire in Shakespeare's great play of duplicity, jealousy and deadly masculinity.
