I've read several times that St. Patrick was from Britain, but I read recently that St. Patick's family actually originated in eastern Europe, maybe Hungary. I'd have to get the sources.
Yes pls, the sources ... ;D
As far as I know, Charlemagne was of mostly Germanic origin. But, as with all royals, there are probably many other bloodlines. The Merovingians and Carolingians claimed even some Hebrew roots. I myself agree Charlemagne was partially descended from the Israelite tribe of Dan, a seafaring people. I learned in history class that Charlemagne was very tall and I've heard that he might have also had blood of the extinct Nephilim. I don't know about that last one.
In modern day Ethiopia Beta Israel, a group of Jews are claiming to be descendants of the Tribe of Dan.Hippolytus of Rome and a few Millennialists apparently claim that the Antichrist will come from the tribe of Dan.After crossing Africa from Aethiopia to Zimbwabwe, being Irish, or Insular Celts as a whole, Chiang Min people of northwest China, Pashtun, Kurds, Japanese, American Indians and many others, the Franks were Hebrew as well ... I wonder if whenever someone is being famous, it's because he is of some "lost tribe" ancestry ! ???It's obvious that Charlemagne was the hidden illigitimate son of Julius C., legendary Roman general hottie ! ::)Check the document: Equestrian statuette of Charlemagne or Charles the BaldHorse: Late Empire or ninth century, restored in the eighteenth centuryRider: ninth century ? Mus?e du LouvreThis bronze statuette, which has been said to be of Charlemagne, was discovered by Alexandre Lenoir in the treasury at Metz Cathedral in 1807 and is inspired by equestrian statues from antiquity, such as that of Marcus Aurelius in Rome. The representation of Charlemagne or Charles the Bald as a horse-riding figure highlights the Carolingian emperors' interest in the thematic repertoire of antique art. The monarch, holding a globe and a sword (now missing), asserts his authority as a conqueror.
And if all this was about a deep division in society ?In the shadow of 1860 - America's "two nations" go to the pollsThe Tea Party is now dictating policy and candidate selection to parts of the Republican Party, forcing mainstream Republican politicians to make a straight choice: do a deal with the Sarah Palins and Glenn Becks to get them off your back, or confront them in defence of a conservatism that is fiscally orthodox but socially tolerant. Few have openly chosen the latter.http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/paulmason/2010/10/the_penury_of_americas_middle.html
One can barely imagine the effect those cathedrals and attending pageantries had on illiterate peasants coming into the city.
Same as TV today
Well, I can tell you that your documents will be used for my courses, with doom paintings, and other iconography about the MA.
This fits in with a pattern of what the left seems to do, and I wish that someone would write up a study on this because it's rather interesting (in a social science type of way). I don't think that the right uses these same tactics (or at least not to the same degree), which suggests to me that some of this is rooted in political philosophy. Some of these tactics include: - language alteration- using the word "hate" as a descriptive catchall word for the opposition's motivations- claiming support of the right to free expression while effectively censoring your opponent- claiming your opponent's support is phony (e.g. "astroturf", "corporate") - claiming your opponent is ultimately motivated by greed or racismI'm sure we can think of more but these are some big ones that I see popping up time to time.
Fully agreed ! However you are styll usyng the hatred "I" ! 😉
But then again if we want to count Catholicism as an Empire, shouldn't we also then count every other religion ads an empire or at least potential empire? I think we are better off sticking to Empires that fit the traditional nation-state model and in that case, the Papal States don't come anywhere close to making even the top 100. They were never very big to begin with.
Agreed
I remember some legends but not good enough. Is it connected with horse Bayard and some brothers? I don't have time to check that in google 🙂
A+ ! It's Bayard (the horse) and the 4 sons of Aymon ! 😉
Does it refer to some order of knights? Some orders were depicted in this way to express their "poverty" and piety.ps. Good morning 😉
Good evening, well it has nothing to do with Templars, nor the Apocalypse
If you want to be part of public life or politics, you avoid to wear such a disguise, even if no malicious intend behind (public therefore public-ity) :-
Then there is the US with a total land area of 9.8 million km2; that would put us at # 11?
What about #12. Vatican City ? - 0.2 square miles -with a population of 770, none of whom are permanent residents but with an estimated Church membership in 2007 of 1.147 billion people, increasing from the 1950 figure of 437 million and the 1970 figure of 654 million. On 31 December 2008, membership was 1.166 billion, an increase of 11.54% over the same date in 2000, only slightly greater than the rate of increase of the world population (10.77%) In total 17.4 percent of the global population :-
