The rivalry between the Veneti/Venetoi (Latin and Greek, respectively for the Blues) and the Prasiniani/Prasinoi (literally "Leek-Greens" from the specific green dye used) actually began waaaaaay back in Western Rome, even if their most famous episode was the Nika revolts in Constantinople. Rome's original political parties/political machines in the early republic were the Russati/Rousioi (Reds) and the Albati/Leukoi (Whites), the other two chariot racing stables, but over time, specifically during the late republic and early empire when there was an actual *gasp* ideologically-based political divide between the Populares (Populists) and Optimates (literally the "Best Men", also known as the Elitists or Conservatives) the Red and White stables' rivalry became overshadowed by the rivalry between the younger (but still founded in the early republic) Blue and Green stables, and ofc once the Empire had been going long enough that ideological political factions largely stopped mattering (the emperor either agreed with them or didn't) the super-popular Blues and Greens were ready to once again fill the void of Romans wanting a reason to hate each other on feast days.

No, I'm "A" Pope, haven't you heard? We now come in a six pack.

"But they had just now remembered that the other side of the alps exist" I WROTE MY LAST TERM PAPER ON KARL IV. ITALY POLITICS AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS SLANDER. The emperors of the HRE *knew* the Italian part of the empire existed and they wanted it. The Staufer Kings wanted it but failed. The Luxembourger Kings wanted it, but Henry VII. Methods weren't ... quite adapted to the reality of politics (just claiming the Regnum Italicum doesn't fly so well with cities that been independent for so long) and Karl already had said goodbye to the illusion of traditional Regnum Italicum, but wanted to establish a more secure Imperial hold on Italy in 1354/55 nonetheless. That failed however when riots errupted in Pisa and made using that city as a stronghold quite impossible, so Karl called it a day. (Sadly, I know nearly nothing about his second time coming to Italy in the 1360s. I focused on his Romzug of 1354/55.) The reason why it was also hard for the emperors to establish factual reign in Italy was because they had a wholeass Empire north of the alps to take care of. And unlike France or England, there was no stable center of power, no administrative center. That basically switched places with every new imperial house, so the emperors, especially in late medieval times, had enough trouble securing their position in the empire north of the alps, so Italy had to wait. However, when the Habsburger at some point snatched the crown for what was the beginning of the rest of the Empire, they had decades, centuries to solidate their power, to build an administrative system - so they had actual ressources to take care of Italy! (Which in this case meant eating up Milan and then also every other Northern city state and territory they could get their greedy little Austrian hands on.)

Last year, when my family and I were staying in Rome as part of our Italian vacation, that elephant was on the base of the obelisk near the pantheon and just outside Santa Maria sopra Minerva, just near the AirBnB we were staying at. The facade itself did not seem like a lot to look at, but the interior was an absolutely stunning piece of Gothic architecture, and I’m told the church was built atop a temple to Athena and Isis.

Supporting terrorism should never be supported

4:11 I see you there, JoCrap, you lovable Wiggler, you. Also, the fact that you guys are aware of JoCat just makes me really happy.

Great stuff as per usual - plus, of course, Pope Clement VII being under Charles V's Hapsburg thumb after 1527 was the main underlying reason why he ultimately couldn't have given England's King Henry VIII a divorce from Catherine of Aragon - Charles' own Auntie no less! - even if he'd wanted to, leading to the Break With Rome and all the various other Tudor shenanigans that followed, yes...?!

Can we get uhhhh, a background music list or something? The song at 2:00-ish pops up in a bunch of your videos and I'd love to get hold of it for personal listening.

i have a request: could Red do a video about Otohime? i just read the story (Urashima Taro) and it facinates me, also i love Dragons

Thank you for posting the resources in the discription

5:52 I assume Scotland joined in just to fight England? That or my understanding of Scottish-Italian history is seriously lacking.

* video starts * cue game of thrones theme song Also, I wonder if there's an off version that's not copyrighted because that would be hilarious for this

AAA YAS!! I dunno what to write so I’ll edit this when I’m done watching this masterpiece. Eeee!! Edit: As amazing as always-

Overly Sarcastic Productions updates is highlight of my day :)

That Jocat insert. Nice. Good to see that good KZreadrs have equally good taste in what they watch.

Love your content! I think it's cool that you fence... Even if it's ahem, Saber. But seriously I'm a foilist and love your content!

Oh, so that one comment about indigo breaking your saber during past livestreams was actually foreshadowing about a meme here huh?

Alejandro Vinasco It was Cyan, his fiancé, who broke his sword.

"ruled like a roman emperor" (remembers all my baptist sunday school teachers teaching that the roman catholic church is a direct continuation of the roman empire) sounds about right...

"Slow and Steady gets the spaghetti" needs to go on a T-Shirt or something, that is GENIUS.

THE SEAT OF POWER IS IN DANGER

At 4:36 you can clearly see that Pope Julius II died at age 69. You don't even have the audacity to say "nice". Come on, the warrior pope deserves better.

No joke this is actually the best channel on KZread

JoCat beautifully completes the feeling of absolute chaos necessary for this episode. Good choice, Indigo and Blue.
