THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Sara Jane Moore Attempts to Assassinate US President Gerald Ford (1975)
In September 1975, Ford was the target of two assassination attempts. Just 17 days after Manson Family member Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme unsuccessfully attempted to shoot Ford, Moore shot at him outside a San Francisco, California, hotel. The bullet just missed the president, and Moore was then subdued by a bystander, who likely saved Ford's life. Moore was sentenced to life in prison but was paroled in 2007.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
The Concordat of Worms (1122)
The Concordat of Worms was an agreement reached by Pope Calixtus II and Holy Roman Emperor Henry V that put an end to the first phase of the power struggle between Rome and what was becoming the Holy Roman Empire. Under its terms, the king was recognized as having the right to invest bishops "by the lance" but not "by ring and staff," meaning he could grant them secular but not sacred authority.

I have no idea what this means.  I am always confused about the Holy Roman Empire.

The only thing that I could figure out is that it was basically Germany, with a little bit more to the N/E/W/S. 
Anyways, Europe is so weird to me.

Charlemagne was first emperor.  His dad was "Pepin the Short", king of the Franks.  His granddad was Charles Martel, "The Hammer", credited with stopping the Muslim invasion of southern France.  We might all be Muslim today were it not for that.
