In college I minored in history and took a class on Charlemagne and the early medieval period- it’s super fascinating how much of an influence Charlemagne had over everything from religion and politics to the distribution and evolvement of languages and how people dressed.
I love this new series. Holy Roman Empire History is one of my blind spot in European History. Please make a series about the Kings and Queens of Spain in the future.
It set the prevention that only a Pope could crown an Emperor but that the Pope was under the control of Charlemagne. So who really held the power? I’m sure this conflict won’t cause anyone… TO DIE!!!
Actually the church served as a check on dictatorial emperors and vice versa. It may have caused power struggles, but also allowed the Holy Roman Empire to last 1000 years.
This felt like perfect timing, I’m currently writing a paper on the mini Renaissance during Charlemagne’s reign. Im studying to be a rare books/manuscripts librarian, the influence Charlemagne and the Carolingians have on so much is fascinating! Pretty much all of the Greek/roman classics were transcribed by scholars under Charlemagne, being the only reason we have access to them day! I feel like it’s a bit of history that gets ignored, but it’s such a remarkable time! Thank you as always for a great video ☺️
a small very small bit of constructive criticism from a huge fan. I noticed the family tree transitions moved kinda fast in this one and I wonder if you would consider slowing them down for the next one. loving this series so far though, cant wait for the next one!
It was said from philosopher Voltaire sardoniccally: "This body which was called & which still calls itself the "Holy Roman Empire" was in no way holy, nor Roman, nor An Empire"
I'm very new to this topic. My take-away from this was that these individuals that disputed over the western roman empire and named themselves "Holy Roman Emperors" were not even descendants of the emperor pushed to Constantinople but descents of those various groups (Frances and vandals) that disputed over what was the western roman empire. Did I get that right? Now looking at your comment I thought I might be.
That quote is more apt for the later HRE, when decentralization had brought it to the breaking point - in the times of Charlemagne the HRE wasn’t particularly Roman, and only debatably holy, but definitely an Empire.
@@cookiemonster_04 that & the HRIS/B being the 2 headed golden eagle (similar to these🇦🇱🇪🇸 🇷🇸) was a symbol of both the Eastern & western halfs of the former Roman Empire (one head pointing to both east & west)
1:43 When the Visigoths sacked Rome in 410 AD the capital of the Western Roman Empire was Ravenna because it had better defenses than Rome. So Emperor Honorius was in Ravenna the whole time Rome was getting sacked he never left to Constantinople because Constantinople was the seat of power of the Eastern Roman Empire. By this time the Roman Empire was split in two since the death of Emperor Theodosius the Great in 395 AD.
Let me just clarify that Charles The Bald, while in fact not bald at all. He had a "lack" of realms/titles. So he was called "The Bald" because he was mostly (at least they thought so) landless. So it's basically saying he's bald in terms of crowns, not hair.
Fun fact about the Carolingian minuscule (8:20); during the Renaissance, it became the basis of the humanist minuscule and subsequently our modern style of Latin script. It happened both due to better readability, compared to the 'Gothic' script (aka 'Blackletter' or 'Textura'), and the very mistaken belief that this was the original ancient Roman style of writing.
Blackletter is not Gothic, that came from later centuries, the Gothic alphabet was actually like a fusion of Latin and Greek alphabets with unique characters i.e. ''Wufilas Bible''.
@@MixerRenegade95 Well yes, but there are different meanings of the term Gothic. You are talking about an actual unique alphabet used by the actual Goths. I was talking about a style of Latin script that later was labeled as "Gothic", just as its contemporary architectural style was. The label is not only inaccurate but was also originally pejorative (implying "barbarism"), but it stuck.
I've been waiting for thissss 😊, I've always had a fascination with the holy Roman emperors and these types of videos are always to calming and help to balance my day, keep up the fantastic work
Thank you for your stunning content, Lindsay! Could you release a video on the life and legacy of Queen Marie of Romania following this series? Best wishes from Bucharest❤
I'm so glad Lindsay put a heart to this, the Queen is my favourite personality in history, and as a fellow Romanian I always love seeing things about her❤
I am lucky enough to be able to trace one of my family lines back to Charlemage. He is my 43rd great grandfather. I was doing some research on him when your video popped up! very informative, thank you ^^
From the death of Charlemagne to the rise of Otto the Great in the east in the mid 900s, and the Capet dynasty in the west in the late 900s, is maybe the most complex period of European history. Nicely done!
I love your videos they are so well done! I was wondering if you could possibly make a video of the history of disabilities and royals who were known to have both physical and mental disabilities? I know you have mentioned disabilities briefly in your past videos
Finally! I know the gist of the Habsburg-era HRE and of the reign of Charlemagne, but it's the centuries between and the emperors that reigned during it that I'm really keen to learn more about. This is going to be great!
As someone w/ adhd sometimes it's hard to find vids I won't get bored of, but your vids are AMAZING!!! I wasn't even really interested in this kinda stuff before your channel but now I look forward to every new vid because I know it'll be informative AND keep my attention. Thanks for the amazing work you do!
Still find it amazing that his main line was significantly involved in history in recent times for example, Sir Christopher Lee and Robert. E. Lee. Charlemagne is the father of Europe in my opinion. An amazing man!!!
I wanted to do some research on the Holy Roman Empire and found your video first. Love your channel. The Holy Roman Empire gets a little overlooked when it comes to medieval European history it seems like. It's so fascinating though. I went down a rabbit trail of family genealogy a while ago and found through my maternal great grandmother was a line going back to the dukes and duchesses of Wurttemberg, who through William II Landgrave of Hesse were descendants of an almost direct male line straight back to Charlemagne. Another branch through Henry II Duke of Brabant's (William II of Hesse's 5x great grandfather) marriage to Marie of Swabia led to both Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and Byzantine Emperor Isaac II Angelos. They were both Marie of Swabia's grandfathers! The Byzantine emperors are just as fascinating as the Holy Roman emperors, but that is a comment for another day and this one is already getting too long!
They really had a thing for gouging out each other's eyes didn't they lol!!! I love your channel, awesome characters from European history!!! I am from the USA, but I love history about everyone royal!!!!🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️💙💙💙💙💙💙🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@History Tea Time With Lindsay Holliday - Your channel is one of my favorites and I have to admit, I enjoy the longer videos and series Sooo much!! My favorite history subject is The Bourbon Kings of France! Actually, just French Royal History as a whole, and since this covers a lot about Charlemagne, would you consider following this up with a series on French Royal History? Thank you for your accurate and soothing delivery of such wonderful subjects, Lindsay!! I love your work and thank you kindly! ♥️⚜️ 💜
The trial of Pope Formosus was probably the one of the most weirdest moments in medieval history. I mean seriously, who puts a pope on trial when is he is already dead.
1:11 Early history & the Carolingian Empire 8:29 Louis I becomes emperor after Charlemagne's death & subsequent division of the HRE among his sons and heirs 12:54 The empire gains back land in Charles III/Charles the Fat's reign but breaks up into pieces again
If anyone is wondering, the Magyars, mentioned a couple of times in the final part of the video, are the ancestors of the Hungarians. In fact, Hungarians still call themselves Magyar (magyarok) and their country Magyarország. For some reason, the English language prefers to change the name of these people when they settled down, becoming Christian and "civilised".
@@kenna163 Yeah, endonyms vs exonyms (how people call themselves, their countries and places they live in their own language vs how others call them in their languages) is a big topic. In Europe, I think that the case of Germans is the most interesting. They call themselves Deutsch and their country Deutschland but everybody calls them something different.
“He was a devout Christian…He saw it as his duty before god to save the souls of the many pagans surrounding his empire, even if he had to end their lives to do it.” Somehow this sounds very contradicting to what Jesus taught 😂😂
Enter Theodosius the Great, Isabella & Ferdinand of Spain, Spanish conquistadors in America, witch-hunters, Mary I of England & the entire European aristocracy of the time between the Protestant Reformation & the Peace of Westphalia.
Alcuin, the leading scholar at Charlemagne’s court, actually advised Charlemagne against forced conversion in a letters in 796. Which is when Paulinus II of Aquileia devised to convert the Slovenes. Whereas the massacre at Verdun was in 782, and those were rebels too.
Very interesting and well done video! I know that the history is convoluted and would probably take several videos, but I'd love to see you do a history of the Romanovs. It's fascinating. Fantastic channel and videos 😊❤
Lindsay: you edit your videos very well. Always something interesting for the eye and graphs and maps whenever you are starting to think, “where’s that at?”
I haven’t watch your videos for a while , its so nice to see there is video about Holy Roman Empire (one of my fav topic) , now i can binge watching your videos 😂 Since you already talk about carolingian in this video , hope to see video about capetian too in the future 🙏
I hope you see this, but plenty of people, like me (a young person in their 20s) and my elderly grandmother, are hard of hearing. We love your content, but we struggle with understanding. I hope you can include written subtitles on your new and old videos. I know content creators work hard on their content, I just hope those who are hearing impaired can be included in that process :( it’s hard enough as is to have to live in a fully hearing world!
I really love your videos! Have you heard of Hildegard Von Bingen? She was a German bernadictine abbess/mystic that lived in the 1100s and made some awesome music. It’s on Spotify. If you were interested and had time a video about impact medieval cultural figures like that would be so cool!
i hope you will make a video or a series about the kings and queens of spain including the consorts because i love the current spanish royal family! i love your videos and it helped me a lot in history 💗
Really cool series idea. You could definitely do this again based on different empires. I think roman empire would be fun or maybe Austrian. Both had wacky stuff going on
Thank you. I just finished a book in which they go into a lot of detail about Charlemagne carrying what he believed was the spear used to kill Jesus. None of that is true is it? I read Charlemagne's mother was known as Bertha big foot and I think that is true.
With Charlemagne's daughters, what happened to Emma, the daughter who ran away with Einhard, his biographer? They are buried in Seligenstadt and Emma was supposed to be his favorite child.
Honorius stayed in Italy the the western roman empire ended when emperor Romulus Augustus was deposed in 476 ad Emperor Theodosius I split the Empire in half after his death.
I have been doing my family ancestry & I reached out to a cousin because I couldn’t find a connection. He went Into great depth & he said we are descendants of Charlemange
It is honestly surprising how vast the lines of Charlemagne's family became when he made sure all his daughters never married and his illegitimate sons became monks

What…the Ottoman Empire you mean?
I am your 300 th like
It's crazy to think that the Holy Roman empire only just formally collapsed in 1806.
Yeah honestly I mostly just associate it with very early European history but it's been around for so long 😭
It seem so recent
@@soobindoll9561 It is relatively speaking recent compared with the Ancient Roman Empire which was some 2k years ago.
@@axollot I was in the wrong video I was supposed to be watching the Habsburgs video.
True! Even more recently... the Ottoman empire which started in 1299 only ended in 1922 😳. Making it one of history's longest.
It set the prevention that only a Pope could crown an Emperor but that the Pope was under the control of Charlemagne. So who really held the power?
I’m sure this conflict won’t cause anyone… TO DIE!!!
A man of culture I see
hello fellow oversimplified viewer
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition....
Actually the church served as a check on dictatorial emperors and vice versa. It may have caused power struggles, but also allowed the Holy Roman Empire to last 1000 years.

Um, yes and no. It's not the ONLY reason we have access . The Arabs were guarding these long before that.

Yes! Another great idea to do a series on Holy Roman Emperors! After this, I look forward to a series about Holy Roman Empress Consorts!
How About "HOLY ROMAN EMPRESS CONSORSTS"?
Can we all agree that the names in this story are fantastic? So old but so cool sounding!
It was said from philosopher Voltaire sardoniccally: "This body which was called & which still calls itself the "Holy Roman Empire" was in no way holy, nor Roman, nor An Empire"
