Canossa on the South Lawn
In 1077 a king knelt three days in the snow at Canossa, and it worked. Nine and a half centuries on, the pope-king turns eighty behind a cage on the South Lawn while the pretenders queue: a trillionaire, a Crown Prince, and a deputy sheriff paying by direct debit. Urban Wronski on the new Investiture Controversy.https://urbanwronski.com/2026/06/12/canossa-on-the-south-lawn/

Je le savais, je le savais ! Y en a un qui n'a pas pu s'empêcher de me parler du livre de #Bayrou lorsque j'ai dit que j'avais fini mon livre sur l'enfance d'#HenryIV.
Alors faut que ce soit clair entre nous : je m'en tape du livre des autres sur HenryIV, tout comme je t'avais dit que je m'en tape de tous les cas de #cancer que tu connais, que tu te sens obligé de me raconter, quand je te dis que j'ai un #cancer
Des livres sur HenryIV y en a des tas, mais comme le mien y en a qu'un, le mien. -

For those of you who love historical medieval fiction with a dark touch:
My friend Mette Holm has released a new book in her Mowbray Chronicles series today (Book 4).
I've read some of her series (not really my genre) and I will say the stories are quite detailed and fascinating, if a little too dark for my liking. But life was hard back then, even for a nobleman, full of intrigue, secrets and betrayal.
Find her book here:

HOTSPUR
See how this river comes me cranking in
And cuts me from the best of all my land
A huge half-moon, a monstrous cantle out.

And here the smug and silver Trent shall run
In a new channel, fair and evenly.
It shall not wind with such a deep indent,
To rob me of so rich a bottom here.GLENDOWER
Not wind? It shall, it must. You see it doth.Interesting exchange in the light of the move to rewild river courses
Obvs all Hotspur's fault -

After she declared the teenage Edmund Mortimer to be the true king & arranged for the Mortimer boys to be abducted from #WindsorCastle, her cousin #HenryIV confiscated her assets & confined her to #KenilworthCastle - but only temporarily. 🧵 9/

An arranged marriage to a younger boy was unconsummated when #JohnOfGaunt arranged a hasty annulment so that his 2nd daughter #ElizabethOfLancaster - already pregnant? - could marry the hot-tempered warrior #JohnHolland. Between overseas trips & crises they equipped #Dartington with a #jousting arena & magnificent Great Hall.
