The speculative conclusions of the book are my own responsibility, but the neurophysiological evidence on which they are based is derived from the Papez-MacLean theory of emotions...
...character he had been impersonating in the pageant, the 11th century Emperor Henry IV of Germany. He lived in a villa complete with throne, courtiers and artifacts of the period.
