FREDERICK III

FREDERICK III

Frederick III (21 September 1415 – 19 August 1493), called the Peaceful or the Fat, was Holy Roman Emperor from 1452 until his death, the first emperor of the House of Habsburg. He was the penultimate emperor to be crowned by the Pope, and the last to be crowned in Rome.
Prior to his imperial coronation, he was duke of the Inner Austrian lands of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola from 1424, and also acted as regent over the Duchy of Austria (as Frederick V) from 1439. He was elected and crowned King of Germany (as Frederick IV) in 1440. He was the longest-reigning German monarch when in 1493, after ruling his domains for more than 53 years, he was succeeded by his son Maximilian I.

 ‘Surgery' in the modern sense, as in operations on patients, or amputations, was sometimes carried out successfully. The German emperor, Frederick III (1415-93), had to have his left foot and part of his lower left leg amputated, when he was already in his seventies. The operation took place at Linz on the Danube, on 8 June 1493. An illustration of this exists as a miniature, made by a contemporary Austrian master [Hohenstaufen/Helfenstein 2003, S. 37]. Two physicians were present to advise the emperor, three surgeons held down the emperor, while two more surgeons, master Hans Seylf of Goppingen and Hilarius of Passau, cut off his foot with a saw, so carefully that the emperor hardly felt any pain. After six weeks the emperor’s remaining leg began to heal up, and after a further four weeks the healing process was practically complete. Ironically, Frederick III died later that same year of a stroke brought on by fasting, not due to any adverse effects of the amputation.

This is a weighting attempt, which combines the number of directions and the value of the orbs. On the previous table, we notice that the munding directions exhibit the highest score (7.77).

2)- C MA conj ASC

It is a direct direction. D = 78.052°, with L(z) MAc = 69.974° GEMINI and L(z) ASCd = 136.93° LEO.

We would still have to say on interesting directions, especially ME opp. JU and MO conj JU. These aspects of the RADIX conjunction between JU and VEGA should be compared.
