His name is Friedrich, Friedrich der Siegreiche, Frederick the Victorious, and being victorious is barely half of what is interesting about him.\nhe music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.\nAs always:\nHomepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.com\nIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans Podcast\nFacebook: @HOTGPod \nThreads: @history_of_the_germans_podcast\nBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.social\nInstagram: history_of_the_germans\nTwitter: @germanshistory\nTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.\nSo far I have:\nThe Ottonians\nSalian Emperors and Investiture Controversy\nFredrick Barbarossa and Early Hohenstaufen\nFrederick II Stupor Mundi\nSaxony and Eastward Expansion\nThe Hanseatic League\nThe Teutonic Knights\nThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356\nThe Reformation before the Reformation","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/O-CxGqNgqtOk8A16_kJJKQspeJOpdQs1EivUErUSFRQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kYzll/MzM2ZWI5N2ViMjY3/YWQ2OWU1MTZkNGQ0/Y2JhZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
