Nerthus:
In Germanic paganism, Nerthus (sometimes interpreted as Hertha) is a goddess associated with fertility. Who knows why she’s mentioned in the show as there doesn’t seem to be any connections to wind or any other powers.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerthus)
The heavenly host:
Refers to a large army of good angels. In the English epic poem Paradise Lost by John Milton, the Archangel Michael commands the army of angels loyal to God against the rebel forces of Satan. Armed with a sword from God’s armory, he bests Satan in personal combat, wounding his side. Guido Reni’s painting of the archangel Michael is likely depicted in this scene. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavenly_host)
(http://damedesuyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Michael-vs-Maria-300x227.png)
---------------------EPISODE 3---------------------------
Lord Provost:

tl;dr: Be nice to others, and don’t forget to brush your teeth. (http://biblehub.com/mark/12-30.htm)
---------------------EPISODE 4---------------------------
Count Villandrando:
A Spaniard routier who went on to lead a band of mercenaries. He is famous for his pillaging and was consequently known as the Emperor of Pillagers (empereur des brigands) or L’Écorcheur (the slaughterer).
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigo_de_Villandrando)
Vouivre:
Or more commonly “Guivre”. Resembling a long serpentine in body but with a dragon’s head, they possessed venomous breath and prowled the countryside of Medieval France. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guivre)
Memento mori:
Literally “remember (that you have) to die”. It is the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality. Memento mori has been an important part of ascetic disciplines as a means of perfecting the character, by cultivating detachment and other virtues, and turning the attention towards the immortality of the soul and the afterlife. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori)
Danse Macabre:
“(The) Dance of Death”. Refers to any painting or mural that depicts “dancing” skeletons or corpses in an advanced state of decay. Used to remind people that death awaits all, irregardless of status. Such depictions arose to prominence shortly after the Black Death. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danse_Macabre)
The Black Death:
AKA: The Great Plague. Now known to be caused by the fast acting bacterium Yersinia pestis, at the time it was blamed on practically anything. This episode uses the poisoned well theory. Symptoms of the Black Death include buboes and gangrene. It was spread by blood transmission, primarily through bites from oriental rat fleas that are carried by black rats. Responsible for decimating entire towns in Europe. It is estimated that some areas of southern France had a casualty rate of up to 80%. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death_Jewish_persecutions) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubo)
Confessor (of sins):
The term is used to denote any priest who has been granted the authority to hear confessions. Fun fact: Both anime original characters, Bernard and Gilbert, are based on prominent historical figures. While they, unfortunately, weren’t from Maria’s time, they were, however, both well known for their contributions to Mariology.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessor) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_of_Clairvaux) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_of_Hoyland) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Mariology)

Seemingly a very competent military commander and an important figure at the French court during the Hundred Years’ War. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_III,_Duke_of_Brittany)
Lord Le Comté Guillaume and Jean de Drouant:
Individually, these don’t appear to be based on any real life person. However, there is a mention of a Jean Le Comté in a fairly common reference book. Jean Le Comté was “a member of the French garrison at Falaise in 1372, (he) made a practice of throwing husbands out of their houses for a night while he abused their wives.” Keep this in mind as the plot of this weeks episode progresses.
(https://books.google.com.au/books?i...0+year+war&hl=en&q=Jean Le Comté 100 year war)
---------------------EPISODE 6---------------------------
Melusine and Count Poitou:
Usually taking the form of a woman with a serpent or fish tail for legs, Melusine is the spirit of fresh water. In the tellings of Melusine involving Count Poitou, she is able to take human form for all but one day per week. She keeps this a secret from her husband, Count Poitou. However, during an argument he calls her a serpent, and believing that her true form was discovered, she leaves him forever. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melusine)
The witch of the hearth:
A hearth is a brick or stone fireplace used for both cooking and heating in medieval times. A witch of the hearth is a witch that uses cooking as an integral part of her witchcraft and is generally associated with white magic and benevolent assistance rather than malevolence. In Maria’s case, it would seem she uses her hearth to brew medicines, primarily for Anne’s grandmother, and she also uses a portable cooking pot for summoning medieval beasts on the battlefield.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_witchcraft) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearth)
Ordination:
To be perfectly honest, I know absolutely nothing about religion other than the fact that it exists for no explicable reason whatsoever. So with that in mind, just read the link. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appointment_of_Catholic_bishops)
---------------------EPISODE 7---------------------------
Sign of the horns:
In many Mediterranean and Latin countries, when directed towards someone and swiveled back and forth, the sign implies cuckoldry. (
Barber surgeon:
The barber surgeon was one of the most common medical practitioners of medieval Europe – generally charged with looking after soldiers during or after a battle. In this era, surgery was not generally conducted by physicians, but by barbers (who of course had a sharp-bladed razor as an indispensable tool of their profession). In the Middle Ages in Europe barbers would be expected to do anything from cutting hair to amputating limbs.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber_surgeon)
The Gauls:
The Gauls were Celtic peoples inhabiting Gaul in the Iron Age and the Roman period.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauls)
La Velue:
A supposed dragon or mythical beast that terrorized La Ferté-Bernard, France, in medieval times. It is said to have come from and lived near the Huisne river near the town. Despite the French origins, its more recognized name is Occitan —or any latine origin— for “hairy”. Depending on the account, it had either an ox-sized porcupine-like body or a mess of green hair-like projections hanging from its body that were actually stinger-tipped tentacles which could erect into quills. Its name is derived from this shaggy appearance. Consistently, it was said to have these poisonous stingers that it could also shoot off its body, a snake’s scaly neck, head, and tail, large, tortoise-like feet, and a green color. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peluda)
Moor:
For the Muslims that invaded Europe during the Middle Ages. Also used as derogatory against those of ancestry where the Moors settled (Spain, Sicily) – they are “part Moor”. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors)
Failed Japanese biblical reference:
This verse is referenced in the episode as David’s attempt at ruling justly… That’s not what the verse is about. Feel free to read it yourself. Essentially, either Satan or God (there is controversy over which, based on translation) convinced David to enlist the men of his country and then count his troops. This apparently made God angry. No clue how or why the studio thinks this would be related. (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2 Samuel 24&version=NIV)
---------------------EPISODE 8---------------------------
Prostration:
The placement of the body in a reverentially or submissively prone position as a gesture. Typically prostration is distinguished from the lesser acts of bowing or kneeling by involving a part of the body above the knee touching the ground, especially the hands. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostration)
---------------------EPISODE 9---------------------------
Graoully the dragon:
Clement of Metz, like many other saints, is the hero of a legend in which he is the vanquisher of a local dragon. In the legend of Saint Clement it is called the Graoully or Graouilly. The legend states that the Graoully, along with countless other snakes, inhabited the local Roman amphitheater. The snakes’ breath had so poisoned the area that the inhabitants of the town were effectively trapped in the town. After converting the local inhabitants to Christianity after they agreed to do so in return for ridding them of the dragon, Clement went into the amphitheater and quickly made the sign of the cross after the snakes attacked him. They immediately were tamed by this. Clement led the Graoully to the edge of the Seille, and ordered him to disappear into a place where there were no men or beasts. Orius did not convert to Christianity after Clement tamed the dragon. However, when the king’s daughter died, Clement brought her back from the dead, thereby resulting in the king’s conversion. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_of_Metz#Legend_of_the_Graoully_dragon)

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinovantum)
Saint Thomas Aquinas’ Five Proofs of God:
God is a provable thing. You heretics better remember that. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinque_viae)
Pelagius’ doctrine of free will:
The view that mankind can avoid sinning, and that we can freely choose to obey God’s commandments, stand at the core of Pelagian teaching. Pelagius stressed human autonomy and freedom of the will. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagius#Pelagius_and_the_doctrine_of_free_will)
Kissing of the feet in Christianity:
This caring act “reflects the grace of God’s never-ending, unconditional love and, as such, its observance is surely a means of grace with exceedingly strong sacramental characteristics.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_traditions#Kissing_in_Christianity)
---------------------EPISODE 10---------------------------
Cordelia of Britain:
Queen Cordelia was a legendary Queen of the Britons, as recounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth. She was the youngest daughter of Leir and the second ruling queen of pre-Roman Britain. There is no independent historical evidence for her existence. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordelia_of_Britain)
Libri Quattuor Sententiarum:
The Four Books of Sentences (Libri Quattuor Sententiarum) is a book of theology written by Peter Lombard in the 12th century.

A divine figure who appears on a relief panel of the Pillar of the Boatmen as a bull with three cranes perched on his back. He stands under a tree, and on an adjacent panel, the god Esus is chopping down a tree, possibly a willow, with an axe. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarvos_Trigaranus)
Nantosuelta:
In Gaulish religion, Nantosuelta was a goddess of nature, the earth, fire, and fertility. The Mediomatrici (Alsace, Lorraine) depicted her in art as holding a model house or dovecote on a pole. Other likely depictions show her with a pot or bee hive. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nantosuelta)
---------------------EPISODE 11---------------------------
Saltpeter:
Edwina’s cat calls it “Rochetta”, but we’re using the more common term. Typically refers to Potassium Nitrate, an ingredient in “Black Powder”, it was used to fire the bolt from Galfa’s hand that killed the Graoully back in Episode 09. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate)
Meow:
Why is it that Edwina’s familiar can only “meow” but Artemis, Priapus, and Ezekiel can talk while in their animal forms? Historically, birds have often been said to be able to communicate with the initiated. Is this the reason why the show features talking birds? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_the_birds)
---------------------EPISODE 12---------------------------
Rosmerta of fertility:

Pax Dei:
The Peace and Truce of God, by attaching sacred significance to privacy, helped create a space in which communal gatherings could take place and thus encouraged the reconstitution of public space at the village level.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_and_Truce_of_God)
Gabriel:

Artemis:
Artemis was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities.

Memento mori:
Literally “remember (that you have) to die”. It is the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality. Memento mori has been an important part of ascetic disciplines as a means of perfecting the character, by cultivating detachment and other virtues, and turning the attention towards the immortality of the soul and the afterlife. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori)
Danse Macabre:

The Black Death:
AKA: The Great Plague. Now known to be caused by the fast acting bacterium Yersinia pestis, at the time it was blamed on practically anything. This episode uses the poisoned well theory. Symptoms of the Black Death include buboes and gangrene. It was spread by blood transmission, primarily through bites from oriental rat fleas that are carried by black rats. Responsible for decimating entire towns in Europe. It is estimated that some areas of southern France had a casualty rate of up to 80%.

Lord Le Comté Guillaume and Jean de Drouant:
Individually, these don’t appear to be based on any real life person. However, there is a mention of a Jean Le Comté in a fairly common reference book. Jean Le Comté was “a member of the French garrison at Falaise in 1372, (he) made a practice of throwing husbands out of their houses for a night while he abused their wives.” Keep this in mind as the plot of this weeks episode progresses.

The witch of the hearth:
A hearth is a brick or stone fireplace used for both cooking and heating in medieval times. A witch of the hearth is a witch that uses cooking as an integral part of her witchcraft and is generally associated with white magic and benevolent assistance rather than malevolence. In Maria’s case, it would seem she uses her hearth to brew medicines, primarily for Anne’s grandmother, and she also uses a portable cooking pot for summoning medieval beasts on the battlefield.

Ordination:
To be perfectly honest, I know absolutely nothing about religion other than the fact that it exists for no explicable reason whatsoever. So with that in mind, just read the link. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appointment_of_Catholic_bishops)
---------------------EPISODE 7---------------------------
Sign of the horns:
In many Mediterranean and Latin countries, when directed towards someone and swiveled back and forth, the sign implies cuckoldry. (

The barber surgeon was one of the most common medical practitioners of medieval Europe – generally charged with looking after soldiers during or after a battle. In this era, surgery was not generally conducted by physicians, but by barbers (who of course had a sharp-bladed razor as an indispensable tool of their profession). In the Middle Ages in Europe barbers would be expected to do anything from cutting hair to amputating limbs.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber_surgeon)

La Velue:
A supposed dragon or mythical beast that terrorized La Ferté-Bernard, France, in medieval times. It is said to have come from and lived near the Huisne river near the town. Despite the French origins, its more recognized name is Occitan —or any latine origin— for “hairy”. Depending on the account, it had either an ox-sized porcupine-like body or a mess of green hair-like projections hanging from its body that were actually stinger-tipped tentacles which could erect into quills. Its name is derived from this shaggy appearance. Consistently, it was said to have these poisonous stingers that it could also shoot off its body, a snake’s scaly neck, head, and tail, large, tortoise-like feet, and a green color. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peluda)
Moor:
For the Muslims that invaded Europe during the Middle Ages. Also used as derogatory against those of ancestry where the Moors settled (Spain, Sicily) – they are “part Moor”. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors)
Failed Japanese biblical reference:
This verse is referenced in the episode as David’s attempt at ruling justly… That’s not what the verse is about. Feel free to read it yourself. Essentially, either Satan or God (there is controversy over which, based on translation) convinced David to enlist the men of his country and then count his troops. This apparently made God angry. No clue how or why the studio thinks this would be related. (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2 Samuel 24&version=NIV)
---------------------EPISODE 8---------------------------
Prostration:
The placement of the body in a reverentially or submissively prone position as a gesture.

---------------------EPISODE 9---------------------------
Graoully the dragon:
Clement of Metz, like many other saints, is the hero of a legend in which he is the vanquisher of a local dragon. In the legend of Saint Clement it is called the Graoully or Graouilly. The legend states that the Graoully, along with countless other snakes, inhabited the local Roman amphitheater. The snakes’ breath had so poisoned the area that the inhabitants of the town were effectively trapped in the town. After converting the local inhabitants to Christianity after they agreed to do so in return for ridding them of the dragon, Clement went into the amphitheater and quickly made the sign of the cross after the snakes attacked him. They immediately were tamed by this. Clement led the Graoully to the edge of the Seille, and ordered him to disappear into a place where there were no men or beasts. Orius did not convert to Christianity after Clement tamed the dragon. However, when the king’s daughter died, Clement brought her back from the dead, thereby resulting in the king’s conversion.

Meow:
Why is it that Edwina’s familiar can only “meow” but Artemis, Priapus, and Ezekiel can talk while in their animal forms? Historically, birds have often been said to be able to communicate with the initiated. Is this the reason why the show features talking birds? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_the_birds)
