Well now I have a question about the House of Anjou. Why is it described as being of infernal blood?
Don't take my word for it, but I believe it had something to do with a lot of their family members having some sort of mental retardation, which was seen as a form of demonic possession.
Apparently the Angevins liked to toss around the story because it made them look more badass. I've heard that before too, but I don't know the specific grounds for the whole thing.Well now I have a question about the House of Anjou. Why is it described as being of infernal blood?
They fudged it and said they had the same language. Italians quite consistantly failed the test of mutual intelligability until the 20th century.
How is it that a singular Italian language was maintained throughout the middle and modern ages, despite the fact that most of Italy was partitioned between foreign powers that used different administrative languages?
Or was there no "singular Italian language" and what we call "Italian" didn't exist until later?

Why did Britain and France declare war on Germany for Invading Poland but not Russia?

Because Russia did not invade Poland, it occupied the territories because the Polish state ceased to exist and there was nothing to stop Nazi Germany from occupying the whole of the country.
