A very rough initial translation of the stanza below the image (someone else please help!): Spare the lion king that reigns in pure humility And, also .... the violent is fraught with violence. Edit - since this is popping up at the top of a new page, I just want to clearly indicate the below image is NOT part of the Chronicle. It is being posted to cross reference representations within the Chronicle. The below image is painted by Pinturicchio within 10-15 years of the publication of the Chronicle (so, early 16th century) |

[QUOTE=fernando]Because when Frederico and Leonor married (1452) Eneas was still a cardinal; he was only entronized in 1458, right ?
Good call - he was not yet Pope when they were married. Here is the caption from Wikipedia for the Pinturicchio painting: "Eneias Silvio Piccolomini (the future Pope Pius II) celebrating the marriage between Frederick III and Eleanor." |

There was a documentary on History Channel (or similar) about this spear head. If I remember correctly the item is very old but some parts are newer with some potential roman era parts included within. The spear head was needed for political reasons in early medieaval times. Many coveted it through time, including Adolf Hitler.

Not long afterward, researchers at the Interdisciplinary Research Institute for Archeology in Vienna used X-ray and other technology to examine a range of lances, and determined that the Vienna Lance dates from around the 8th to the beginning of the 9th century, with the nail apparently being of the same metal, and ruled out a connection with the time of the first century AD.
