Senlis ben ik al vaker tegengekomen in mijn onderzoek.
Judith van West-Francië ontsnapte uit Senlis, met Boudewijn, en werd vervolgens de eerste gravin van Vlaanderen. Margaretha van Bourgondië onderhandelde er met Parijs. Me nooit gerealiseerd dat het ook nu nog zoveel te bieden heeft!

… many years after having crossed the bridge between both fields - and still learning about subtile and less subtile differences … seems to me mainly a matter of being lost in translation … but call me optimistic 😉

I understand what you’re hinting at … 😀
Still, it saddens me a bit, both as a historian and as a biologist …

To those still out there during the summer break: I am happy to share that my paper on shifting power relations in seigneuries of the southern Low Countries (Hainaut, twelfth-fifteenth century) is out now in @frenchhistory.bsky.social

Seeing a lot of critical responses from medievalists about this BBC 1066 thing. As an early modernist, just to say that I'm happy to confirm that medieval people were indeed covered in dirt all the time and did all sound like they were in the Wurzels.

Een bijzondere verrassing? 😮

📙Op het eerste gezicht lijkt dit een gewone boekband, maar dat is het niet. In plaats van een boek vind je in de band een miniatuurbibliotheek. De band werd in 1757 in Middelburg gemaakt door Suenonius Mandelgreen.

PS waarschijnlijk ken je Peter Hoppenbrouwers’ bijdrage op Leiden Medievalists Blog over / n.a.v. hetzelfde werk?

We kregen gister op een symposium oa uitleg over de wijze van fotograferen en bewaren. Zeer boeiend. Alle scans in hires, de charters zelfs in tifs van 50 MB en meer.

The ‘gender and money’ conference, covering a very ‘longue durée’ from the early Middle Ages until the 20th Century, was very inspiring!
Many thanks to the organisors, looking forward to future interactions!

On my way to Paris, very much looking forward to participating in this two day, bilingual ‘atelier de recherche’ on ‘genre et argent’ (gender and money). The programme is promising!

I also did my own. Not the most inspiring job, but I’m still thanking my past self each time I consult my book to look up what I wrote on something 3 years ago 😀
Also: eternally grateful to the colleague who advised me to include persons AND places

Dit jaar is het 600 jaar geleden dat Jacoba van Beieren vanuit Gouda de strijd om de macht in Holland aanging met haar neef Filips van Bourgondië.
Bij @streekarchiefmh.bsky.social vertelde ik daarom deze week over middeleeuwse bronnen, en we bekeken door Jacoba uitgevaardigde oorkonden 🙂
