A fragmented Kingdom with warring Queens.

An infant Prince who becomes King.

A King who reunites his nation, only for it to be broken up again.

Story in the evening ...
Clothaire was born in 584 to Chilperich, King of the Franks, and Fredegund. Not long after his birth, his father was killed, making Clothaire the king of the part of the Frankish realm that he ruled. He had inherited the smallest of the three Frankish Kingdoms - Neustria. 1/10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
In 561, Clothaire's grandfather and namesake had died dividing the Frankish Kingdom into four. Chilperich, who was the youngest, received a Kingdom around Soissons, which contained the core area that the senior Clothaire had inherited in 511. 2/10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

A Bavarian Princess connecting two foreign royal dynasties.

A fragmented Kingdom makes small steps to recovery.

A Queen becomes its guide for a stable future.

Story in the evening ...
Theudelinda was born around 570 to Garibald of the Baiuvarii (Bavarians) and Waldrada of the Langobard (Lombards). The Bavarians were a Germanic tribe that was associated with the Franks, another Germanic tribe, to their west. 1/10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodelinda#/media/File:Theode
Around 555, Garibald had been named the Duke of the Bavarians by the Frankish King, Clothaire. It was around the same time Garibald married Waldrada, who had earlier been married to Theodebald, King of Franks at Reims, and later possibly Clothaire as well. 2/10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baiuvarii#/media/File:Bairisch

A Kingdom lie in shambles after decades of war.

Broken and divided, it faces an invader who will make it his home.

A long path to reunification awaits, but only for the Kingdom to break up and reunite again.

Story in the evening ...
Alboin was born around 530 to Audoin and Rodelinda. They were part of the Langobards, also knowns as Lombards, one of the many Germanic tribes that lived in the former regions of the Roman Empire in the West, after the Empire collapsed. 1/10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alboin#/media/File:Nuremberg_c
In 547, Audoin was elected King of the Lombards. The Lombards had control of Pannonia and were in alliance with the Roman Empire in the East. But they rarely got along with the Gepids, another Germanic tribe, who controlled the region to their east. 2/10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarian_kingdoms#/media/File

Exiled at a young age, a tall leader returns and becomes King.

But he has higher ambitions and an Empire and a Patriarchate are created.

Story in the evening ...
Stefan Dušan was born in 1308 to Stefan Uroš Dečanski and Princess Teodora of Bulgaria. Stefan Uroš Dečanski was the eldest son of Stefan Uroš Milutin, King of Serbia, and was the governor of Zeta within the Kingdom of Serbia. 1/10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Du%C5%A1an#/media/File:

The uneasy backstory of the Rus' separated by nations - Russia, Ukraine, Belarus & others.🧵

Rus' tribes were once the connection from Constantinople to Scandinavia. They got organized in 10th century, though earlier Rus' nations could have existed. 1/20

By the end of the 10th century, a Rus' state had formed around Kiev. But after every generation, it got divided amongst the Princes, who frequently fought each other. But in 980, Vladimir consolidated the Principalities and expanded his rule. 2/20

In 988, he formed an alliance with Constantinople accepting Christianity in Greek Crimea. Though this was before the split of the Roman Church, this ushered in the presence of the Orthodox Church among Russians. 3/20

Finally SARS-Cov-2 reaches home. Dad reports positive. He had a mild sore throat in morning, with general weakness and cough at times. Thankfully, wife and daughter are at in-laws, after bro-in-law turned positive on Sunday. Their exposure would be lesser than had they been here.
Looks like I will finally need to download one of those food delivery apps. 🤷‍♂️

Which is better in Thrissur - Zomato or Swiggy?
Likely positive. Trachea (Not Throat) seems active, chest appears to have a mild congestion with intermittent cough. Temperature and SPO2 normal. Should have a better idea tomorrow once RTPCR results come.
