Title: Lohengrin
Date: 2021-07-29
Category: Opera
Have you heard of Lohengrin? It is a German Opera written and composed by
Richard Wagner in 1850. I happen to think that German Opera is more
entertaining than Italian Opera, but enough about me.
### King Ludwig II
Which brings me to King Ludwig II of Bavaria. If I understand correctly,
King Ludwig was very fond of Lohengrin, and built Neuschwanstein Castle
as a private world for himself where he could live alone in a fantasy
inspired by the *Knight of the Swan* Legend, on which Lohengrin
is based.
But don't judge King Ludwig II too harshly: he was after all a cigar connoisseur,
drove a smoking-hot golden carriage, and Neuschwanstein Castle is
an excellent place to take selfies. You really should visit the
Marstallmuseum at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich and see the golden
carriage.
Needless to say, Lohengrin is quite different from the Strauss Operas
that your great-great-great Grandmother used to listen to on
her smartphone in the bathtub.
### Lohengrin
So what happens in Lohengrin? King Henry the Fowler fights the Magyars.
This means we have to talk about the Magyars, King Henry's Son Otto,
the Battle of Augsburg which is sometimes called the Battle of Lechfeld,
and the Mongols!
### Magyars
Ok, the Magyars are descended from a nomadic-steppe-people who settled on
the Hungarian Plain, which is sometimes called the Carpathian Plain.
Unfortunately for them, the Hungarian Plain was not quite vast
enough to support a prosperous nomadic lifestyle. And so for some hundreds
of years, the Magyars raided and pillaged all over Europe. It should be noted that
Hungary considers 1896 to be the 1000th anniversary of the Magyars entering
the Carpathian Plain, and in that year many memorials, monuments, and museums
were built in Budapest.
As stated above, the Magyars came into conflict with King Henry the Fowler
who was the King of East Frankia. East Frankia evolved from the Eastern Parts of the
Carolingian Empire that was originally put together by Charlemagne. Indeed,
there is today a region of Bavaria called Franconia, which has excellent
regional passenger trains connecting innumerable picturesque little cities and towns
which are perfect for taking selfies and drinking the local bier. But I digress.
### Battle of Lechfeld
The Magyars were finally defeated by King Henry the Fowler's son King Otto I
near Augsburg in 910, Augsburg being an ancient city in Bavaria that goes all
the way back to the Roman Empire.
King Otto I of East Frankia was the greatest King since Charlemagne, and the
Battle of Lechfeld was equal in importance to the Battle of Hastings in 1066,
in the context of European History, but deeper analysis of that is above my
pay grade. (This is a free blog post)
### Recommended
Anyway, the Magyars gave up their raiding, became Christianized, and adopted
a more agrarian lifestyle on the Hungarian Plain where they founded the Nation
of Hungary around the year 1000. In the 13th Century, the Mongols invaded Hungary,
but were never able to advance beyond Hungary into Western Europe.
For more riveting entertainment about the Mongols, I recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore
History Podcast, in particular the subseries *Wrath of The Khans*.
Thanks for reading, I'm fresh out of cigars.

Richard Wagner in 1850. I happen to think that German Opera is more
entertaining than Italian Opera, but enough about me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;King Ludwig II&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which brings me to King Ludwig II of Bavaria. If I understand correctly,
King Ludwig was very fond of Lohengrin, and built Neuschwanstein Castle
as a private world for himself where he could live alone in a fantasy
inspired by the &lt;em&gt;Knight of the Swan&lt;/em&gt; Legend, on which Lohengrin
is based.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But don't judge King Ludwig II too harshly: he was after all a cigar connoisseur,
drove a smoking-hot golden carriage, and Neuschwanstein Castle is
an excellent place to take selfies. You really should visit the
Marstallmuseum at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich and see the golden
carriage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, Lohengrin is quite different from the Strauss Operas
that your great-great-great Grandmother used to listen to on
her smartphone in the bathtub.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Lohengrin&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what happens in Lohengrin? King Henry the Fowler fights the Magyars.
This means we have to talk about the Magyars, King Henry's Son Otto,
the Battle of Augsburg which is sometimes called the Battle of Lechfeld,
and the Mongols!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Magyars&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ok, the Magyars are descended from a nomadic-steppe-people who settled on
the Hungarian Plain, which is sometimes called the Carpathian Plain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for them, the Hungarian Plain was not quite vast
enough to support a prosperous nomadic lifestyle. And so for some hundreds
of years, the Magyars raided and pillaged all over Europe. It should be noted that
Hungary considers 1896 to be the 1000th anniversary of the Magyars entering
the Carpathian Plain, and in that year many memorials, monuments, and museums
were built in Budapest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As stated above, the Magyars came into conflict with King Henry the Fowler
who was the King of East Frankia. East Frankia evolved from the Eastern Parts of the
Carolingian Empire that was originally put together by Charlemagne. Indeed,
there is today a region of Bavaria called Franconia, which has excellent
regional passenger trains connecting innumerable picturesque little cities and towns
which are perfect for taking selfies and drinking the local bier. But I digress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Battle of Lechfeld&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Magyars were finally defeated by King Henry the Fowler's son King Otto I
near Augsburg in 910, Augsburg being an ancient city in Bavaria that goes all
the way back to the Roman Empire.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;King Otto I of East Frankia was the greatest King since Charlemagne, and the
Battle of Lechfeld was equal in importance to the Battle of Hastings in 1066,
in the context of European History, but deeper analysis of that is above my
pay grade. (This is a free blog post)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Recommended&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, the Magyars gave up their raiding, became Christianized, and adopted
a more agrarian lifestyle on the Hungarian Plain where they founded the Nation
of Hungary around the year 1000. In the 13th Century, the Mongols invaded Hungary,
but were never able to advance beyond Hungary into Western Europe.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Have you heard of Lohengrin? It is a German Opera written and composed by
Richard Wagner in 1850. I happen to think that German Opera is more
entertaining than Italian Opera, but enough about me.</p>
<h3>King Ludwig II</h3>
<p>Which brings me to King Ludwig II of Bavaria. If I understand correctly,
King Ludwig was very fond of Lohengrin, and built Neuschwanstein Castle
as a private world for himself where he could live alone in a fantasy
inspired by the <em>Knight of the Swan</em> Legend, on which Lohengrin
is based.</p>
<p>But don't judge King Ludwig II too harshly: he was after all a cigar connoisseur,
drove a smoking-hot golden carriage, and Neuschwanstein Castle is
an excellent place to take selfies. You really should visit the
Marstallmuseum at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich and see the golden
carriage.</p>
<p>Needless to say, Lohengrin is quite different from the Strauss Operas
that your great-great-great Grandmother used to listen to on
her smartphone in the bathtub.</p>
<h3>Lohengrin</h3>
<p>So what happens in Lohengrin? King Henry the Fowler fights the Magyars.
This means we have to talk about the Magyars, King Henry's Son Otto,
the Battle of Augsburg which is sometimes called the Battle of Lechfeld,
and the Mongols!</p>
<h3>Magyars</h3>
<p>Ok, the Magyars are descended from a nomadic-steppe-people who settled on
the Hungarian Plain, which is sometimes called the Carpathian Plain.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for them, the Hungarian Plain was not quite vast
enough to support a prosperous nomadic lifestyle. And so for some hundreds
of years, the Magyars raided and pillaged all over Europe. It should be noted that
Hungary considers 1896 to be the 1000th anniversary of the Magyars entering
the Carpathian Plain, and in that year many memorials, monuments, and museums
were built in Budapest.</p>
<p>As stated above, the Magyars came into conflict with King Henry the Fowler
who was the King of East Frankia. East Frankia evolved from the Eastern Parts of the
Carolingian Empire that was originally put together by Charlemagne. Indeed,
there is today a region of Bavaria called Franconia, which has excellent
regional passenger trains connecting innumerable picturesque little cities and towns
which are perfect for taking selfies and drinking the local bier. But I digress.</p>
<h3>Battle of Lechfeld</h3>
<p>The Magyars were finally defeated by King Henry the Fowler's son King Otto I
near Augsburg in 910, Augsburg being an ancient city in Bavaria that goes all
the way back to the Roman Empire.</p>
<p>King Otto I of East Frankia was the greatest King since Charlemagne, and the
Battle of Lechfeld was equal in importance to the Battle of Hastings in 1066,
in the context of European History, but deeper analysis of that is above my
pay grade. (This is a free blog post)</p>
<h3>Recommended</h3>
<p>Anyway, the Magyars gave up their raiding, became Christianized, and adopted
a more agrarian lifestyle on the Hungarian Plain where they founded the Nation
of Hungary around the year 1000. In the 13th Century, the Mongols invaded Hungary,
but were never able to advance beyond Hungary into Western Europe.</p>
<p>For more riveting entertainment about the Mongols, I recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore
History Podcast, in particular the subseries <em>Wrath of The Khans</em>.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading, I'm fresh out of cigars.</p>
