I think this chap is a superb teacher. I have listened to his 3 part “great courses” series on the Middle Ages 3 or 4 times.

I'm sitting in class with him right now, and I'd agree lmao

3:15 "Clodwig", became "Claude" in France, and "Ludwig" in Germany. The French created "Louis" from Clovis. The two nations share a common origin.

And the Spanish created "Claudio" which contains within itself the word "audio"

@@marceloestebanmauricio4934 If you understand Linguistics, you know that words evolve. Spain, (Iberia), played no role in the history of the HRE.

[@sebe2255]

@@kennylong7281 Spain absolutely played a part in the history of the HRE. For one because it was Charles V (Emperor and king of Spain among others) who removed the low countries from it and gave them to, Spain.

Always funny to see medieval European maps with the Dutch province Flevoland which was only taken from the sea in the second half of the last century. And it even shows the dike closing off the large body of water in the middle (the IJsselmeer nowadays) from the North Sea.

[@dang5796]

So supposedly king Charlemagne is a great grandpa of mine? Can I get some royalties or something? Surely I must of inherited something.

Glad I'm only one episode ahead where the series begins, right? I mean, the series begins with episode one and this is episode two, so...

According to 23andMe a large % of the population with French & German ancestry are defendants of this king.

Charlemagne was a cruel unjust thug

[@wendyrowland7787]

And the truth is, the Catholic Church ran Europe in any case, so the Roman Empire persisted in the guise of religion.

All that work was pointless given the unchanged succession laws.
