This one took a lot of work, but I think it was worth it. We hit on a new and long overdue topic: women, how they are portrayed in history, and whether one of them gave birth to a pope. Well, I mean, all popes were birthed by someone, probably even a woman. But one specific woman. Gah. Yes, I know only one woman can be responsible for any given birth at a time. she can have two kids, but one kid can't emerge from two different- you know what, I don't know if I even want to put out the episode now. Maybe I'll just sit here and eat olives and pet my cat. But then maybe we are already out of olives. Touche, annoying know it all voice in my head, touche.

As far as I can remember, the title used by Rudolph of Burgundy, Hugh of Provence and Berengar II during their reign in Italy is not "Emperor", but rather "King".

Curses! You are right.Thank you for pointing that out. I had to dig through all my notes because I couldn't believe I made such a huge mistake. I will make a correction in a few episodes, when we get back to Italy. This does recast the nature of the rest of the story.
