Chapter 2300 infinity (Part 2)

Georgiana arrived at St. Lumote Church almost following the same route as yesterday. Medieval cities were almost like this. Facilities such as city hall, churches, and markets were all located in the city center. There was even a cloth merchant's house next to the city hall.

The location of the meeting.

After getting off the bus, she first saw a tall bell tower, which is also the commanding height of Mechelen. There were at least 20 bells inside, and it was they that produced the sweet music.

Every city has a landmark building. Florence’s landmark building, the Loggia della Signoria, is located next to Piazza della Signoria. It was originally used for members of the Medici family to watch performances, and was used to station in Germany from 1376 to 1382.

Mercenaries, hence the name Mercenary Loggia.

In other words, while guild craftsmen from various regions were bracing the scorching sun in the courtyard of the Government Hall, waiting for the results of the discussions inside, those German mercenaries were enjoying the cool weather and watching a play under the loggia. In the 16th century, Florence reached its heyday

, the Loggia della Salone became increasingly gorgeous, not only did many sculptures be added, but it also became the place where the Chief Executive of Florence took the oath of office.

The clock tower in Mechelen was half-finished but was stopped due to lack of funds and had to be capped hastily.

Her eyes quickly turned from the bell tower to the door of the church. The person who greeted her was a tall, thin old man. He was wearing a full set of bishop's robes. He stood upright and looked very tough. He didn't look like an 80-year-old man at all.

The entire Holy Order was fighting behind him, but...she didn't see Bonaparte.

"I knew it." She murmured in a low voice, then held the hem of her skirt and got out of the car with the help of Figel.

Archduke Ferdinand and his wife rode in a carriage together and were assassinated together. She had thought that it would be good to be separated like this.

When she came to Archbishop Roquerolle, she didn't know what to say.

"Welcome," the archbishop said in French with a smile.

"Nice to meet you," Georgiana said with a smirk.

If there was an Inquisition here, these people would be present at the trial.

Her eyes quickly swept over the members of the clergy. They all had expressionless faces, or in other words, they remained solemn.

"It's been a hard journey," the archbishop said politely.

"It will get better in the future." Georgiana said, "When the road is repaired, traveling will be much more convenient than now."

"Just like the Romans."

An almost inaudible voice said in the crowd, and Georgiana did not carefully identify who said it, nor did she give any explanation. Just like Ron Weasley hitting her head with a pod twice, she took it as nothing.

Did not happen.

The archbishop took Georgiana into the church to visit. It can be seen that it is a Gothic building, which also shows how abrupt the tower without a spire looks.

The era when St. Lumutius lived happened to be the Carolingian dynasty. Hagiography was very rich during the Merovingian dynasty. The saints in this period were not like St. Donatine of Bruges during the Roman rule.

Both abbots and bishops can compile Acts, and the church strives to include them in the ranks of saints. In comparison, "apostles" are relatively rare.

The Frankish Kingdom during the Merovingian period was in the initial stage of national development. As a former "barbarian", it only needed a few senior monks to meet the simple writing needs of the king and courtiers. By the time of Charlemagne, the empire

The increase in provinces and correspondence led to the need for more trained personnel, which forced Charlemagne to take a series of measures to improve the schools of the court and the church, and the organizers of these schools and education gathered around the king.

Member of the Imperial Academy.

The 8th century was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Along with the Silk Road, silk and spices came to Western Europe. The seminaries of this period focused on grammar, rhetoric and debate. At that time, the Byzantine Empire was still there. In the Byzantine Empire

There is also the Academy of Athens.

After experiencing a series of natural and man-made disasters such as the "scourge of God" Attila, the Plague of Justinian, and civil war, the Eastern Roman Empire was severely weakened. In the mid-7th century, Syria and Egypt became part of the Arab Empire. At this time, Byzantium

The main enemies of the empire changed from the Persians to the Arabs, who had a powerful army and a large navy.

But at this time, the Byzantines invented a secret weapon called "Greek Fire" and used it to burn down almost all Arab naval ships. With this secret weapon, the Byzantine Empire, which was on the verge of collapse, regained sea power, came back to life, and conquered the East.

Leo III, the ruler of the Roman Empire, launched a campaign of iconoclasm within the empire.

This movement not only destroyed the statues of those saints, but also confiscated the church's properties and land, forcing the priests to return to secular life. There was a similar movement in the Netherlands, but it did not affect the Church of Saint Luminous.

His bones are still in the church, and the sculptures on the coffin are also in good condition.

Fortunately, the Crown of Thorns was hidden during the Revolution. If someone had a hothead and threw it into the fire and burned it with Genevieve's bones...

The French Revolution did indeed involve excessive behavior, which Father Grégoire has exposed and made public, and he is here today.

Fortunately, he did not mention returning the materials collected from Leuven or translating them into French. The alliance between the church and the royal power was not just about the divine right of kings. The church also participated in the control of newly conquered territories with the emperor and king.

Changed the culture and customs of the people in the newly conquered areas.

In addition, they are also the promoters of policies. This time when they promoted the construction of a sugar factory in Belgium, she had a deep experience. In addition to going to the market, farmers also went to church. The United States also conducted a census in 1790, but it took several years to reach a population of less than 4 million.

France has a population of 20 million, but it only took less than a year to count them. The priests only need to count the number of believers in their own diocese, add or subtract a few deaths, and basically all the people who are sick or not have arrived.

Even the cadastres of the Middle Ages were compiled by the church. When the secular world did not have data to record the events at that time due to war or other reasons, the church would usually have it. However, for the history of the iconoclasm period, even the church did not have it.

This period of time seems to be shrouded in darkness, and only folk legends and myths can trace some clues.

At the same time, these materials stored in the church can also be tampered with or hidden. Regarding the original copy of the Udine Inquisition stored in the church library, Georgiana does not know how Archbishop Cambaceres obtained it, but since it was in Cambacerre

If it was in the hands of the Archbishop of Spain, then it would not be in the library of Paris, and people would not know that Michele's trial alarmed the Pope as much as the trial of Galileo.

Also in the 1378 uprising, there was a man named Michele di Lando, who succeeded Salvestro of the Medici as the new standard-bearer of justice and subdued the people of this uprising.

However, when the commotion ended, Michele was exiled. His original dedication to his duties did not make his fellow citizens feel much gratitude. While Florence was busy fighting among itself, Louis of France sent troops to Puglia.

Trying to capture Tuscany.

Fortunately for the Florentines, Louis died, and the Florentines suddenly changed from worrying about the preservation of their city-state to buying back the city from the hands of the Arezzo people where Louis was stationed.

After acquiring Arezzo, Florence held a grand celebration, as if it had won a great victory. Many families tried their best to compete with the country in grandeur and show off their wealth. No one remembered the riots not long ago.

This time there was no large-scale riot, but hatred and jealousy against a family. Both the Florentine government and the lower-level citizens wanted to destroy this family, but this family was not the Medici.

Then the patriarch of the family was exiled. He made a long trip to visit the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. He died of illness in Rhodes on the way back home. His body was transported back to Florence, and the people who had persecuted him buried him as grandly as possible.

Although they had slandered him in every possible way while he was alive.

In the purgatory written by Dante, as long as the living are still praying for the dead, then they still have hope and will not go to hell.

She knew that Napoleon was finally buried in the Invalides, on the banks of the Seine, among the French people, as his will said. His coffin also experienced a long journey back to Paris.

She knew clearly that he was dead, and the professions that had contact with ghosts were somewhat different from the world of "normal people", such as wizards, psychics, fortune tellers, etc. But he didn't believe in these gods and goddesses.

Calculating the time, she entered the Louvre to explore on the night of the full moon after the summer solstice. It seemed that this was her "Midsummer Night's Dream". She also entered a magical world, but she didn't know when she would

leave.
