For most of the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire we have covered so far, no idea. There are scarce reports about the way the princes grew up, safe for tales like the emperor Ludwig the Bavarian being kidnapped by his pet monkey. But now, as the Late Middle Ages make way for the Renaissance, we can see the boy who would be king at play, being fed by his nursemaid and pretending to be a knight at a tournament.\nAnd even better, this emperor is Maximilian, the last Knight, one of the most iconic rulers of his time. Come along as we descend into the delights and terrors of his epic childhood, complete with mythmaking in drawings and woodcuts.\nThe 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\nFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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\nThe Empire in the 15th century\nThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/K5ssYjFo_ppv8CxKlYFgSQPpu_Ye6hqe0bZT3IxjQjI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85NmMy/NmIyZTkyNzc2YWZk/YTllN2Q2Y2YyNjk2/NTk1Ny5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
