lots and lots of popes.  The ones who had the most impact on me were
Gregory VIII, who proposed the third crusade.  That cost me a son.

My King was actually an Emperor........Friedrich the II. of the HRE.
But then he was also King of the Romans, Germany, Italy, Burgundy,
Sicily and for a short time King of Cyprus and Jerusulam.

Other notable accomplishments include being excommunicated twice, and
being called the Antichrist by Pope Gregory IX.

He spoke six languages and his handbook on Falconry is still widely used
today.

Greetings All,
 
One of the purposes of the SCA is to study the medieval person we play.
Sometimes, this gets lost in all the "society" part of the SCA, so I
wanted to prompt a thread on who your king would be in your persona's
period/time.  Maybe it will prompt some folks to do some studying and
learn more about our hobby.
 
So, my King is Edward the Third.  His son and Heir is Edward of
Woodstock (now more widely known as Edward the Black Prince).  England
has been involved in a war with France over succession of the French
Crown, of which Edward has most legitimate claim.  The war started as
open battle in 1337, and has been going on in fits and starts since
then.  The recent battles of Crecy and Poitiers have gone to the
English, but now, in the 1370's, the French have won back some of the
English claimed territory....largely from refusing battle.
 
The Pope for England is Urban, but the Schism created by the French
anti-Pope, Clement, has caused religious problems, to go along with the
political issues.  So who is your Pope?
 
Some of you will be able to wade in immediately on this thread.  Maybe
some will have to do some reading and research to learn what their
persona would think, who they would be aligned with etc.
 
Should be fun!
 
Alan
