Not sure if we’ll be seeing the young Willem Blackwood again. There’s going to be another time jump in a few episodes. If the character returns after that, he’s certain to be older and may have even found a spouse by that time. 

See how Willem Blackwood fared with the Conventional Wisdom for S01E04.

Cymburgis of Masovia (1394 or 1397 – 28 September 1429), a member of the Polish Piast dynasty, was Duchess of Austria from 1412 until 1424, by her marriage with the Habsburg duke Ernest the Iron. As the mother of later Emperor Frederick III, Cymburgis, after Gertrude of Hohenberg, became the second female ancestor of all later Habsburgs, as only her husband's Ernestine branch of the family survived in the male line.

Henry IV the Righteous in Codex Manesse. Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons ‘’Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?’’ The words of King Henry II still echo ominously through the centuries and remain one of the best known in English history. The murder of Thomas Becket at the steps of his own cathedral shocked the Christian world. Henry II himself was deeply shaken. He may have not given…

Piast Kołodziej

Bez Jezusa nie pokonałam swojego serca, które chce kochać wiecznie. No i cóż Jezu - czy będziemy się ścigać , kto pierwszy stanie przed Świętym Obliczem Ojca ? To takie.... -proste. -Nie, Jezu. - dla mnie jest to okultyzm, a tego bym nie chciała. -Ale beze Mnie będziesz się w tych sprawach bardzo męczyła. ................... ................... - To mogłoby być absurdalne Myszko, gdyby w "grę" nie wchodziłą tak wielka miłość do Mnie. Czy bez skazy? Nie wiem, po prostu nie wiem. A wiesz co znaczy Moje nie wiem. - Że mogę się opierać także i w tych sprawach. - Tak, w sprawach proroctwa. Spróbuj być grzecznie moją oblubienicą. To ci wystarczy - na wiele. - spraw? - Nie, na wiele próśb, na zażegnanie wielu złorzeczeń, któe ludzie mają w związku ze Mną. , bo zapomnieli połączyć się ze MNą z modlitwą na ustach. -I z uczuciem do Ciebie w sercu. - Za wiele wymagasz. :) - To smutny uśmiech. -Wiem. - Kochaj mnie Jezu łągodną miłością zmartwychwstałego Baranka. - To ci się nie uda. - Mimo to próbuję. - Myszko , czy ty jesteś śmiała? - To zależy - Mizoginizm? O to Mnie oskarżyłaś? -Nie mówmy o tym. -Starczyło ci serca? - Z ledwością - To wszystko otwiera ci rany- tego chcesz - Muszę kończyć. - Myszko... Myszko... - Ależ idę się modlić. -Przełykam ślinę , tak dobrze, tak można. To możliwe. - Spotkać się u Taty? - Nie tego oczekiwałem. - Jako mój Mąż? - Oczekiwałem cudu. I go mam... oczekiwałem

“Unique” Medieval Gold Ring Found in Poland

An elaborately decorated medieval gold ring, likely to be from the 11th or 12th century, has been discovered buried beneath Wawel Castle, the former seat of Poland’s kings in the city of Kraków. It is the only one of its kind ever found on Polish territory. “Wawel never ceases to surprise us,” wrote the castle museum on social media while announcing the “exceptional discovery” on Monday.

The ring is decorated with opposing faces, making it extremely unusual. Only a few early medieval gold rings have been found in Poland and they are devoid of ornamentation or have simple geometric patterns.

That makes the latest find “unique”, says Jerzy Trzebiński from the castle museum’s archaeology department. “This is the only example in which human images (or figural ones in general) are depicted on an early medieval ring from Poland.”

He also notes that the item contains no references to Christianity (which had begun to be established in Poland from the 10th century) and suggests that the two faces could represent Janus, the two-faced Roman God.

Given that the form of the ring is typical for that period in Poland, Trzebiński believes it was probably a local product and could have belonged to a member of the elites under the Piasts, Poland’s first ruling dynasty from when the state was established in the 10th century until the 14th century.

The item was discovered during archaeological research in the basement of the so-called Danish Tower (Wieża Duńska), one of the castle’s four residential towers.

It was built from the late 14th to early 15th century on the orders of King Władysław II Jagiełło as part of the reconstruction of a previously existing tower. The tower’s facade was then added in the 16th century.

The building took its name from one of its first guests, Eric, king of Denmark, Sweden and Norway (often known as Eric of Pomerania). He stayed there in 1424 while attending the coronation of King Władysław’s fourth wife, Sophia of Halshany.

The ring was found on top of the remains of a former stone structure, probably a defensive rampart. The history of Wawel Castle dates back to the 11th century, but long before then the hill that it sits upon had been an important seat of power.
