#50: Hack the System

This tale from 1140 recounts an extraordinary act of unity and love in the face of adversity. When a German king besieged the town of Weinberg, he demanded that all the women leave, allowing them to take only what they could carry on their backs. In a twist of events and a display of solidarity, the women chose to leave their possessions behind and instead carried their husbands on their shoulders.

Astonishingly, the king upheld his promise, and the women’s devotion to their husbands preserved both their belongings and their relationships. This tale serves as a testament to the power of love and the strength of communities in times of hardship.
