Beautiful Medieval Tiles Discovered in Poland

Archaeologists working in eastern Poland have unearthed several hundred fragments of tiles that once decorated the walls and floor of a late-medieval stronghold.

A team of archaeologists and historians from the Institute of Archeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences made the discovery over the summer while excavating the remains of a wooden castle in Żelechów, which lies southeast of Warsaw. The castle was likely built in the mid-15th century, only to be abandoned at the beginning of the 16th century and then burnt down in a fire later that century.

Archaeologists have been on the site since 2017, and this year they removed burnt timbers and clay, which revealed hundreds of fragments that once belonged to a cocklestove, a type of heating device that would have warmed the building. They came in a wide range of colors, including green, yellow, white and blue, and were of a style similar to those found at Wawel Castle, the main royal castle of Polish kings.

“Among its remains we found numerous, beautifully decorated tiles with rich geometric, plant and animal patterns,” says Wojciech Bis from the Institute of Archeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. “There were also images of fantastic animals, including griffin, human figures and coats of arms.”

In addition to tiles, the archaeologists found fragments of ceramic vessels. Among them were thin-walled table dishes designed for serving meals and kitchen utensils for the preparation of dishes. They included pots and pans on three legs. In addition, numerous post-consumption animal bones with traces of cutting and chopping were found, mainly from pigs and oxen. This is evidence of abundant feasts at the castle.

Coins were also discovered, including a silver penny minted during the reign of Wenceslaus IV (1378-1419).

asteroid Sejong (7365) conjunct my sun (1 orb)

this asteroid is named after King Sejong the great,

King Sejong is known as one of the greatest rulers of Korea of all time, as he created Hangul (Korean alphabet), encouraged significant scientific advancements, reinforced Confucianism in Korea, and caused many political and social advancements.

This asteroid is named after the female pharaoh Hatshepsut. Considered one of Egypt's greatest female pharaoh brought great wealth and artistry to her land.

asteroid Carolus Quartus (16951) conjunct my sun (1 orb)

This asteroid is named after Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor. He is considered the greatest czech of all time. The 14th century – particularly the reign of Charles IV (1342–78) is considered the Golden Age of Czech history. He gained more through diplomacy than others did by war, and through purchases, marriages, and inheritance as he enlarged his dynastic power.

asteroid Vaclav (8740) conjunct my sun (2 orb)

Djoser, also spelled Zoser, second king of the 3rd dynasty (c. 2650–c. 2575 bce) of ancient Egypt, who undertook the construction of the earliest important stone building in Egypt. His reign, which probably lasted 19 years, was marked by great technological innovation in the use of stone architecture. King Djoser's architect, Imhotep, built the first pyramid by placing six mastabas, each smaller than the one beneath, in a stack to form a pyramid rising in steps.

why the name sigismund tho?

Uhmmm,

I don’t want to go into it too much, because of spoilers for my next story. Though, I suppose linking the Wikipedias for Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia and HRE Sigismund will be enough. In universe: the Rodchesters are descended from a Hochfrei named Johann, who claimed to be the bastard son of Sigismund. His great-grandson, Johann IV married Margarete von Bayern (fictional and not these Margarete von Bayerns) and they became Graf/Gräfin von Celle (Eloise’s county upon investiture as Heir Presumptive).

The first modern flushable toilet was invented in 1596 by Sir John Harrington. He installed one for his godmother, Queen Elizabeth I. His invention included a water tank and a flush valve. However, the flush toilet wouldn't become popular for another 250 years. Most toilets in Medieval Europe were either holes in the ground, communal outhouses, or chamber pots.

If you were fortunate and born into considerable wealth, you might have used a garderobe (derived from the French word for "wardrobe"). These were small rooms built adjacent to the walls of medieval castles. The toilet was connected to a vertical shaft that extended down to the ground.

Low-ranking soldiers or servants were responsible for taking buckets of water to "flush" waste down the vertical shaft. Garderobes, which literally translates to "guarding one's robes," originated from the practice of hanging clothes in the shaft to kill fleas using the ammonia in urine.

Occasionally, daring knights would attempt sneak attacks by entering the castle through the shaft connected to the garderobe. Throughout history, there have been several famous people who died on the toilet, including King Edmund II of England (30 November 1016), Jaromír Duke of Bohemia (4 November 1035), Godfrey IV Duke of Lower Lorraine (circa 26 or 27 February 1076), Wenceslaus III of Bohemia (4 August 1306), and Uesugi Kenshin (19 April 1578).

May 16 - Jan Nepomuk Memorial Day

On May 16, the Catholic Church celebrates the day of St. Jan Nepomuk, the patron saint of priests, rafters, millers and bridge builders.

Jan Nepomucky (Jan Nepomucky) is a Czech priest, a holy martyr.

Czech King Wenceslaus IV (1378-1419) constantly clashed with the highest clergy of the country, defended the priority of secular power and interfered in church affairs, considering the Prague archbishopric one of his main opponents in domestic politics.

A painting by Josef Mathauser. "The Death of Jan Nepomuk".

On the morning of March 20, 1393, during a meeting between King Wenceslaus IV and Archbishop Jan of Prague, the king ordered the capture and imprisonment of the former in the retinue of Archbishop Jan Nepomuk, Mikulas Puhnik, Wenceslaus Knobloch and Nepra from Ropov. Soon, Yang's comrades were released, and Yang died of excruciating torture on the day of his arrest. After that, his body was dumped in a bag from the Charles Bridge into the Vltava River. The murder of Jan Nepomuksky had a wide resonance, it served as a reason for the overthrow of Wenceslaus from the German throne.

According to legend, in the very place where the body of the saint sank into the Vltava, a glow in the form of 5 stars appeared above the water, since then Nepomuksky has been depicted with five stars above his head.

The veneration of Jan by Czech Catholics as a saint and martyr began in the XV century. He was canonized in 1729. Jan Nepomutsky is considered the patron saint of Prague and the whole Czech Republic. Commemoration in the Catholic Church - May 16.

The Defenestrations of Prague

The Defenestrations of Prague were three separate incidents in history where people were defenestrated (thrown out of a window).

The First Defenestration of Prague (1419) was done by a religious mob and apparently caused the death of King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia due to shock, when he heard about it.

The Second Defenestration of Prague (1483). One live politician and the dead bodies of seven politicians were defenestrated as part of a coup.

The Third Defenestration of Prague (1618) was when two noblemen and a secretary were defenestrated but survived the 70-foot|21-meter fall--either by falling on a dung heap or by being caught by the Virgin Mary, accounts differ. The incident was one of the causes of the Thirty Years' War.

Keep up the great work, Prague.

bilingual bonuses for sharp-eyed german speakers

Richard has just found out about a murder in the English camp:

The center of the camp is a welter of anxious activity—most of the nobles are there, barking at one another or their servants. Henry Bolingbroke and Thomas Mowbray are there, faces pale and downcast: Rafe Stafford was of an age with all of them, and he had been their friend as well as Richard’s. Richard sees no sign of Rafe’s father and is briefly, selfishly relieved. The German knight, Sir Meles, flanked by the Bohemians Hask and Burzebo, is there too, weeping and wringing his hands, his plump round face flushed pink. The three of them are conversing urgently in their native tongue, and Richard cannot make out a word of it. Sir Meles repeats something that sounds like “mine should,” over and over again as the other two shake their heads and answer in reassuring tones, until they realize that the King is present and straighten up, Sir Meles rubbing at his face rather uselessly with the end of his sleeve.

I’m horribly inconsistent about when the narration correctly “hears” utterances in foreign languages that the viewpoint character doesn’t speak, but it mostly boils down to “it’s much easier to approximate German phonetically in a way that’s legible to English speakers than to approximate Czech.”

This is what’s going down in the passage above, incidentally.

#the novelthing #richard is about to briefly be very very confused #i feel like my german is getting quite decent #i was listening to ian bostridge singing erlkönig this afternoon #and i realized i could follow the text #i mean of course i already knew the song and what it means #but i mean i could follow it grammatically #anyway i'm using german here because english and french sources don't really differentiate #charles iv and wenceslaus iv had bilingual courts #so i decided to make sir meles german #brownie points to anyone who correctly identifies the german phrase intended
