Did you know that there's a place in #Europe that still has a #feudal system?

The #crown dependency of #Sark is a curious place. It has no paved #roads & #cars are forbidden, #women only got the right to inherit #property in 1999, & the whole island is, to this day, a fiefdom.

This means the #monarch is the head, with a #lord (seigneur here) as the executive power & the tenants (effectively liegemen) as the vassals.

Sark has to pay the #king a yearly #knight's fee.

It's £1,79.

Did you know that "Ludwig the " was kinda weird with his ?

The Ludwig, ruled East Francia for 36 years.

Within that time, he had 3 sons and 4 daughters.

Unlike other kings before & at the same time, he did not give any high positions to his sons.

He would eventually all the into advantageous alliances but forbade all daughters to do so.

The 3 we know of were all made to become nuns, but seemingly, not abbesses.

It's unclear why.

I was commissioned to create FIVE pieces for #Advent this year!

This is the first one titled Jesus As Sage. It is a painted fabric collage.

His greatest wisdom: Love your neighbor as you do yourself.

's tie resembles Greek flag after Marbles row

This is the best bit of trolling by a monarch since his mum wore that EU hat during

And it's "Parthenon Statues" not "elgin marbles" ,

Or do we use the term "Howard Carter's gold" to decribe the treasures found in the Tomb of Tutankhamun?

Bloody Tories - all they understand is private ownership of our common heritage...

B.B., His Contribution To and Were Enormous

He was playing at a dance hall in the early 1950s when two men got into a fight and knocked over a kerosene stove. Mr. King fled the blaze and then remembered his $30 guitar. He ran into the burning building to rescue it. He learned thereafter that the fight had been about a woman named Lucille. For the rest of his life, Mr. King addressed his guitars — big Gibsons, curved like a woman’s hips — as Lucille

Did you know that an did what many doctors suggest?

Æþelðryþe, daughter of Anna, was married twice & twice bargained with her husbands to remain chaste.

She managed to become a & the picture of healthy living. She ate only one meal a day & bathed only cold. She did make exceptions for both on holidays.

When she got a swelling on her neck, she laughed that it was punishment for wearing too many necklaces in her youth.

She died a saint.

Runestones from #Denmark praising a #Viking #queen hint at her power | Both Jelling runestones also named a royal figure: Queen Thyra, mother of then-reigning #King Harald Bluetooth. 🤔 #Geni claims that Harald Bluetooth was my 31st grandfather. I should check the sources step by step. True of false it's fascinating to study this. #vikings #familyhistory #suomimastodon #finland #roots

Did you know that some #medieval countries did not know queens?

A variety of #European countries had two types of rulers in the #MiddleAges: those by marriage & those by their own right (descent). If a ruler ascended the #throne by their own right, they were crowned “#king” - no matter the #gender.

Examples: Jadwiga, King of Poland (1384-1399), Anna Jagiellon, King of Poland (1575-1587), Anjou Mária, King of Hungary & Croatia (1382-1385 & 1386-1395)
