In 1275, Cologne entered an unexpected agreement that reshaped its relationship with one of the most powerful men in the empire: the new Archbishop of Cologne. At the same time, the city received a remarkable new Gothic seal—an object that tells us more about medieval identity, politics, and ambition than any charter ever could. How did all this come together? And why did it matter so much? Join us as we follow the early moves in a story that will echo all the way to Worringen.
