What is it like to grow up the son of the emperor? For most of the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire we have covered so far, no idea. There are scarce reports about the way the princes grew up, safe for tales like the emperor Ludwig the Bavarian being kidnapped by his pet monkey. But now, as the Late Middle Ages make way for the Renaissance, we can see the boy who would be king at play, being fed by his nursemaid and pretending to be a knight at a tournament.And even better, this emperor is Maximilian, the last Knight, one of the most iconic rulers of his time. Come along as we descend into the delights and terrors of his epic childhood, complete with mythmaking in drawings and woodcuts.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.windrep.org/Michel_Rondeau" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michel Rondeau</a>&nbsp;under&nbsp;<a href="https://imslp.org/wiki/Flute_Sonata_in_E-flat_major%2C_H.545_%28Bach%2C_Carl_Philipp_Emanuel%29" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Common Creative Licence 3.0</a>.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog:&nbsp;<a href="https://historyofthegermans.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.historyofthegermans.com</a>If you wish to support the show go to: <a href="https://historyofthegermans.com/support-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Support • History of the Germans Podcast</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HOTGPod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@HOTGPod&nbsp;</a>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@history_of_the_germans_podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@history_of_the_germans_podcast</a>Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/hotgpod.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@hotgpod.bsky.social</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/history_of_the_germans/?hl=en-gb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">history_of_the_germans</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/germanshistory?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@germanshistory</a>To make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.
