| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Elena Nikolaevna Meiendorf: I love Russia... Our family has lived here for more than 800 years. My ancestors came to Russia from Germany. But if we delve into history, our family can be traced back to the Vikings. Pope Clement II came from the Meiendorfs and served as archbishop of the town of Bamberg, one of Germany's most beautiful cities. At that time, Emperor Henry III had a very strong influence on the political life of Europe. And he did not like all the terrible troubles going on in Rome - popes and antipopes... So he put his German archbishop, Suidger von Meiendorf, on the papal throne, who was given the new name of Clement II. |
