Lecture13 Early Medieval Part 2

[@julyjuniper573]

I just started this one, and cant stop laughing at you calling it "horse furniture," instead of some fancy name for the horse tack ornamentation. Now I've fallen down a research rabbit hole on historical horse accoutrements, hahaha! Best I can find is, "horse brass" or "Phalera". (also thank you thank you a million times for posting these. I adore your lectures!)

Great narration, but Charlemagne’s dad Pepin retired the Merovingians and became the first king of the Carolingian dynasty. He got the pope to support him and in return gave the pope the Donation of Pepin - the papal states

The Germans seemed to be good at wooden sculptures.

[@arthistorywithtravisleecla6343]

They do indeed.

[@gavinreid2741]

Yes. Unfortunately the wooden sculptures were easily destroyed when the protestant iconoclasts started their destruction of church art.

Actually King Charles and his wonderful mother queen Elizabeth can trace their line back to the god Wotan (Odin) way before William 1
