Frederick the Second-Holy Roman Emperor, King of the Germans, King of Sicily, scholar, scientist, quarreler with Popes, prodigious lecher, successful Crusader, political innovator-is a blazing figure in a period in history (the first half of the 13th century) that the casual student too often slides by. The attention is caught briefly, perhaps, by Frederick's nickname, Stupor Mundi (wonder of the world), and by accounts that his scientific curiosity led him to experiment with live servants.

...both out with the flu, joined Billy Lamarche and Mike Patterson on coach Cooney Weiland's list of sidelined players. Brandy Switzer (17 saves) played the nets for the Crimson last night while Weiland juggled his depleted forward lines to the tune of six goals and the varsity's 13th victory...

Along one side was a series of rooms, used perhaps by resident priests, erected in the 13th century B.C. The structure was rebuilt a number of times during the next two centuries, but the open-air shrine and sacred area remained on the same spot, though the floor level was raised with each building period...
