In April and May of 2009, an American history buff re-enacted the Walk to Canossa by driving the original participants across the Alps in a rented minivan. My Way to Canossa presents the blog of this journey interwoven with investigations into three profoundly unreliable historical works:

The Song of Henry, a Modern English Translation of the Heinrichlied, Germany's Forgotten National Epic, Anonymous, English Translation by Roger McAllister, Stone Colony Books, Victoria, B.C., 1992

Warrior, Daughter, Saint: the Story of St. Matilda of Canossa, Sr. Martin de Porres, O.P., Marcellina's Bookshelf (Burke & Benedict Books), Dubuque, Iowa, 1973

The Meek Shall Inherit, 112 episode telenovela, starring Renee Alcala as Bertha of Savoy, story by Damien di Savoia Underwood, Scherzo Productions and Encore!!! Network, 2004-05
