What a loss. I arrived in Rome a couple of days ago and the medieval city has lost its historian. Adieu.

more work on smell, this time the papal Golden Rose, appears in the August issue of the prestigious Burlington Magazine, including the cover. August 2026 Vol. 168 | No. 1481

Image of Cluny's Golden Rose (c. 1334) and of Richental's chronicle of the Council of Constance. King Sigismund rides through town holding the Rose.

Starting a series on Medievalists.net to highlight the books that framed the new medieval historiography. I started with Marc Bloch's Feudal Society www.medievalists.net/2026/04/marc...

merci Thomas. But as of now the trope is winning and I am just trying to fight for my old dead guys. Of course if the exchange happened it is loaded. I just want to inject some historical accuracy....

Again, wrong description of the Avignon papacy. Just read the recent historiography. As historians we cannot repeat tropes created in the XIV century ad eternam.

Again, another misrepresentation of the Avignon papacy.

For anyone who has read about the Pentagon's use of the "Avignon Papacy" against the pope....THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE AVIGNON PAPACY. And the journalists reporting on it even less. I know about the Avignon papacy....and I am pissed that it is weaponized. newrepublic.com/post/208820/...

Pentagon Threatened the Pope After He Criticized Trump

It was so bad that Pope Leo changed his plans to travel to the U.S.

Why do I think Nazi architecture when I see this? and being French I should think Arc de Triomphe?

Notre Dame January 2019 and June 2025. From roughly the same spot across the Seine River. She is still standing. Thats the most important.

Notre Dame Cathedral in January 2019 before the fire that almost destroyed it. Photo was taken from the other side of the Seine River, at end of the day while she was illuminated.

More or less the same angle taken from the other side of the Seine river, in June 2025 after she reopened. Crane and scaffolding supporting her.

Continuing on the medieval potato, in today's "news world" why not! if we repeat an untruth long enough it becomes truth right? Here, the add for "Medieval Times..."

I was really looking forward to King and Conqueror...and then, episode 2, at around 28 minutes, appeared...the medieval potato...to accompany rabbit. Ragout de lapin aux pommes de terre à la manière de Flandre!

So, again, I am not "religious" but I think that one thing that was appealing about Francis was that he was willing to at least attempt to "move" the "unmovable." I am not discussing the movie here but there is some message in there that is resonating. The political fractioning for sure...and ...
