Template:Infobox Sesame Street character

Zoeis a 3-year-old, orange female monster on Sesame Street, performed by Fran Brill. She was designed in her color to complement her "boyfriend" Elmo, who was gaining popularity at her introduction in 1992.

She is now permanently dressed in a tutu, as like many girls of her age, Zoe is obsessed with ballet. Her love of dance in general resulted in the video Zoe's Dance Moves.

She often rides a soapbox-style car around Sesame Street, called the Zoemobile. She has a pet rock, Rocco, much to Elmo's constant dismay.

Though it is likely she has many relatives, only the voice of her Aunt Chloe has been heard on the show. Recently, her aunt Gizelle, who lives in Swan Lake, sent her a tutu. This is a reference to the character of Giselle in the ballet Giselle.

First video appearance is The Best of Elmo. Second is Do The Alphabet, and Big Bird Sings!, and "Here is Your Life."

+'''Zoe'''is a 3-year-old, orange female monster on ''[[Sesame Street]]'', performed by [[Fran Brill]]. She was designed in her color to complement her "boyfriend" [[Elmo]], who was gaining popularity at her introduction in 1992.
-Nicolaus of Tüngen came from a [[Prussian]] [[Bourgeoisie|burgher]] family in Tüngen ([[Polish language|Polish]]: [[Bogatyńskie]]) near [[Wormditt]] ([[Polish language|Polish]]: ''[[Orneta]]'') in [[Warmia]]. He worked in the [[Roman Curia]] for many years as a secretary, and at the same time accumulated many church offices (1459 Canon of [[Wrocław]] ([[Breslau]]) and [[Canon of Warmia]]). After the death of Warmia's Bishop [[Paul of Lengendorf]] he was chosen as his successor by the Warmia [[diocese]] [[Chapter (religion)|chapter]] on [[10 August]] [[1467]]. Tüngen received the pope's agreement for his nomination on [[4 November]] [[1468]] and obtained the bishop's insignia in Rome.
+She is now permanently dressed in a [[ballet tutu|tutu]], as like many girls of her age, Zoe is obsessed with [[ballet]]. Her love of dance in general resulted in the video [[Zoe's Dance Moves]].
-The king of Poland, [[Casimir IV]], did not accept the choice of Tüngen as bishop.  He instead nominated [[Wincenty Kiełbasa]], the bishop of [[Chełmno]] (Kulm) and administrator of the [[Poznań]] [[diocese]], as the new bishop of Warmia. The Warmia chapter accepted the king's will, entrusting Kiełbasa temporary administration of the Warmia diocese at the [[Malbork]] [[Sejmik]] on [[1 December]] [[1467]]. Tüngen did not withdraw his candidacy, however, and soon the already mentioned papal provision strengthened his position. In September 1469 Kiełbasa withdrew his claim to the Warmia bishopric. One year later Tüngen unofficially arrived in Warmia.
+She often rides a [[Soapbox (car)|soapbox-style car]] around ''Sesame Street'', called the Zoemobile. She has a [[pet rock]], Rocco, much to Elmo's constant dismay.
-Kiełbasa's resignation did not mean the resignation of the Polish king from his aim of putting his own candidate in office. Casimir IV intervened with the pope [[Paul II]], who ordered Tüngen to resign the Warmia bishopric (his successor, pope [[Sixtus IV]], nominated Tüngen [[bishop of Kammin]]). The new candidate nominated for the post in 1471 was [[Andrzej Oporowski]], [[archdeacon]] of [[Gniezno]] and a royal secretary.
+Though it is likely she has many relatives, only the voice of her [[Aunt Chloe]] has been heard on the show. Recently, her aunt Gizelle, who lives in Swan Lake, sent her a tutu. This is a reference to the character of Giselle in the ballet ''[[Giselle]]''.
-Oporowski's nomination did not change the situation in Warmia. The nominee was not allowed to assume his office because of protests from the clergy and people of Warmia and the Prussian Estates. At the same time Nicolaus of Tüngen began to strive to obtain his desired bishopric and tried to secure Warmia's full autonomy from Poland. Supported by the [[Teutonic Knights]], Tüngen gained control of most of Warmia's castles and towns. He also gained the support of the king of [[Hungary]], [[Matthias Corvinus]], then in conflict with Poland, entrusting him with protecting the bishopric.

-In 1478, Polish forces intervened militarily in Warmia and gained control of most of it. This armed conflict is known as the [[War of the Priests]].

-In 1479, an agreement reached between Casimir II and Matthias Corvinus further weakened Tüngen's position. Peace negotiations to end the conflict took place in [[Piotrków Trybunalski]]. The agreement reached on [[15 July]] [[1479]] put Warmia under the Polish king's sovereignty, and required the [[bishops of Warmia]] to swear an oath of [[fealty]] to him. The Warmia chapter was also required to elect as bishop ''a person to the liking of the king''. As part of the agreement Tüngen was allowed to remain Bishop of Warmia, after he paid [[homage]] to the king, entitling him to be one of the [[Senate of Poland|senators of Poland]] (just like Polish bishops).

-After 1479 bishop Tüngen made efforts to rebuild the diocese after the devastations caused by the Polish troops on Prussian soil. Tüngen funded the altar in St. George's church in [[Königsberg]], and in his will he gave large sums to the monasteries and churches of the diocese. To the end of his life he remained in ''de facto'' opposition to the Polish king, for example by entering into a confederation with the Prussian estates in 1485 in defence of their privileges.
-As a supporter of Warmia's autonomy from Poland, Tüngen was greatly worried by the king's plan to nominate his own son [[Frederic Jagiellon]] as the next bishop after Tüngen's death. To prevent this, the then elderly bishop made efforts in Rome to nominate [[Lucas Watzenrode the Younger|Lucas Watzenrode]] as [[coadjutor bishop]].  These efforts were interrupted by his death, yet his will was respected when the diocese chapter did select Watzenrode as the next bishop, taking advantage of the fact that the 1479 agreement did not specify which ''candidate to the king's liking'' was to be chosen.
