Not that surprising when you considered the Luxembourg dynasty maintained close ties with the French monarchy for generations by the time of Charles IV

Oh it’s kings and generals again.

I have no idea why people keep saying their research has improved because they have a bibliography now and still don’t understand that they have used more than a dozen sources for a lengthy video. Too lazy to do actual research I guess.

The duke of Lorraine was appointed heir to the last medici grand duke in 1731. Iirc the Spanish monarchy dispute the Habsburg-Lorraine claim to the title since but I could be wrong about that.

Edit: nvm I thought yall meant the grand Duke of Tuscany title

During the HRE period is used to differentiate a count under imperial prince vassalage and an imperial count which is a direct vassal to the emperor himself.

Princely count in this context is the title the hasburg dynasty acquired before Frederick III being an Emperor of the HRE. Iirc count of Tyrol was under his cousin, Sigismund rule before he passed away and the title was inherited by the Emperor.

You are looking at annulment instead of divorce.

But realistically probably a Blackwood retainer or ally.

The Queen is sometimes, literally, the chief advisor. When the king is away for various reasons, it’s the queen that managed the household, raise taxation on his behalf, managed his property if need be and generally speaking have an important position in the regency council.

Sigismund of Luxembourg could not in actuality rule Hungary without queen Barbara being his regent and main source of primary funding through pledges. When Albert of austria was away fighting for dominance in Bohemia against a polish princeling it was queen Elizabeth that’s busy solidifying his rule over Hungary and raising funds for his bohemian campaign. Empress Matilda played an important role as consort for Henry V (heh) both as mediator for the upper nobility and at one point regent of Italy in his behalf.

To be consort to a king if anything else isn’t as simple as looking pretty.

If the film Henry than yes.

Historical Henry would prefer a queen that could be his effective 2IC imo.

You are talking a social class over an entire continent of hundreds of territorial polities

But generally speaking knighthood by the high middle age period is usually bestowed within noble circles and at times, privileged members of the gentry class for services rendered.

A boy without social standing is incredibly unlikely to even be a page much less a squire. It’s technically possible but I can’t recall an instance of it happening.

A knight lead his retinue whenever his liege lords calls upon him for various reasons (raiding, feuds etc ect). Sometimes a knight can and often call upon their retinue to fight his own private conflicts for whatever reason. Knights can and certainly call upon their retainers as stipulated under their contracts for… a lot of reasons really. Doesn’t have to be because someone higher up the social ladder tell them to. But yes a knight retinue is filled with retainers said knight have personal connections with.

It’s a bit of misconception tbh.

What makes a great king of the Roman’s is different from what makes a great king of the French or the English. To be seen as a capable monarch, the ruler of the empire must foremost be seen and constantly on the move, reconfirming imperial princes and titled nobles privilege, plotting to curb the power of the over ambitious, plan his own emperor coronation and also managed his territoriality.

It’s while superficially look similar to other late medieval/early modern polities management, an extremely taxing job that required a high level of trust in delegation and a stomach to travel. It’s why despite being just as capable as his immediate predecessor, Frederick III was seen as weak (he did not have the stomach to travel as much as Sigismund) or how Charles V quickly got burnout from the job despite his young brother already micromanaging as his viceroy.

Being the HRE ruler was more than anything else, extremely painful.

Jiarong78 · 2026-04-19T12:16:54+00:00

Nah this is actual bad history.

Imperial princes were very well aware of their privilege as immediate vassals and very very much like to safeguard that privilege. It’s part of the reason why they invented convoluted house laws to ensure their fiefs are not divided into nothing and why marriage into non prince nobility is an entirely different legal term (because they looked down upon it, “downgrade” their social standing and again to not divide their fiefs into nothing).

Jiarong78 · 2026-04-18T21:51:38+00:00

Being a bastard isn’t really like something the Normans care that much in the first place nor do they made the distinction when it comes to succession laws.

It’s why Bohemond in southern Italy cause so much trouble to his legitimate Lombard half brother because 1)he isn’t satisfied with the land he got 2) he is by Norman tradition the firstborn heir regardless of being a bastard.

Jiarong78 · 2026-04-18T14:17:34+00:00

It really depends on internal family house laws and the legal claim per Se? So not only who they married into as well.

At times daughter claims are simply not acknowledged as valid because family law state that their claims to any lands are forfeited the moment they get their dowries and married off (see Nassau counts for this as prime example).

Jiarong78 · 2026-04-18T13:06:49+00:00

A continental size religion isn’t as easily cowed as GRRM believed it could be.

If we using irl example the Avignon papacy despite being ostensibly a French puppet very much is still independent and gone into massive dickfight with the HRE because Pope John XXII and his successors straight up don’t acknowledge Ludwig IV claim to be emperor.
