1130-1137 - Emperor Lothar III is getting embroiled in the schism between pope Innocent II and Anaclet II. Anaclet II is properly elected and holds Rome whilst Innocent II enjoys the support of the most influential church leader of the time, St. Bernard of Clairvaux. \nFear of St. Bernard drives Lothar into the camp of Innocent II which means he has to go down to Italy and conquer Rome for the Pope. Not only that but it also means a conflict with Roger II by now king of Sicily and master of a large Norman /Saracen army. \nAnd hat is in it for him? A rewriting of the Concordat of Worms? Ownership of the lands of teh great countess Matilda? or something entirely different?\nEpisode webpage: Episode 48 - Conrad's Conundrum \u2022 History of the Germans Podcast\nEpisode webpage: Episode 46 - A Topsy Turvy World \u2022 History of the Germans Podcast\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\nFacebook: @HOTGPod \nTwitter: @germanshistory\nInstagram: history_of_the_germans\nReddit: u/historyofthegermans\nPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Historyofthegermans
