medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Out of sheer curiosity: Why in 1673??? Who wanted Leo canonized at that time?? TGD <snip> "Leo III (d. 816) I confess that this one surprised me. Leo was a Roman who became pope in 795 but was accused of all sorts of interesting immorality attacked by his enemies, imprisoned, and mutilated. He escaped and went north, where he asked Charlemagne for help. Charlemagne came and put L back on the papal throne---and event that looms large in western civ. classes because L. then crowned Chuck as emperor (Christmas day, 800). Leo was canonized in 1673." ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
