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.</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>

<div class="entry-content">
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
