A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments.

Terecht. Dit soort erfgoed moet terug naar de plaats waar het thuishoort en behoort in principe niet te liggen in het land van de voormalige kolonisator!

Lees ik deze scheurkalender verkeerd? 1425 is 600 jaar geleden en geen 800 jaar. Evengoed mijn felicitaties aan Leuven.

Was dat niet op 28 juni? En toevoeging: het gaat om de moord op Frans Ferdinand en zijn echtgenote Sophie Chotek. Politiek is zij natuurlijk minder belangrijk maar hun drie kinderen verloren op die dag allebei hun ouders.

WWI in historic newspapers: The assassination of Franz Ferdinand – Europeana Newspapers
I just checked. 28 june 1914 was a Sunday. So no newspapers. The news of the assassination would have became world news in the morning papers of Monday 29 June 1914 www.europeana-newspapers.eu/wwi-in-histo...

The first assassination attempt was around 10.15 hrs in the morning. The second and successful assassination attempt was 45 minutes later, around 11 o'clock local time Thanks to the telegraph everybody at least in Europe knew it the same day.

Heel interessant! Het is nu mogelijk om annotaties voor te stellen bij manuscripten en handschriften. Het is nog in een testfase. Probeer het uit. Feedback wordt door het handschriftenportaal op prijs gesteld.

NTNU Open: Diversity in the Norwegian Viking Age: an osteobiographical approach
!
"This doctoral thesis investigates social organisation in the Norwegian Viking Age (c. 750–1050 CE) through a bioarchaeological and post-colonial lens, with a particular focus on mobility, diet, violence, and social power."
*Very* interesting so far.

The EU has a balanced system and strategy to promote and support international and EU norms and standards. EU influence on global norm setting is undeniable. An example: ec.europa.eu/docsroom/doc...
Thank you for the informed discussion but I have to stop now. I really have to go to work.

Absolutely right! The EU member states have the formal voting power in those international organizations but it in practice it is a considerable EU influence.

'Win the negotiation' mode is a very traditional British thing!! The EU, and you know this, is about co-operation, mutual benefits but also (and always) about protecting and promoting the interests of EU member states and the EU as a whole.

It's more complicated. The EU is very active in international standardization bodies and has substantial norm-stetting power. Once the international standard is set, it helps the EU to improve the functioning of the EU single market. It becomes a EU regulation that influences the rest of the world.

However difficult it may be, nuances (and facts) are and will remain important, precisely as a counterweight against populist arguments.

The Brexit referendum was in 2016 and it was an advisory referendum. Yes, it was stupid choice of English and Welsh voters. And opinion polls show now that most voters regret it. Brexit is absolutely no evidence for your bold claim about 'voters in the West' in 2025.

What is your evidence based on that 'voters in the West' no longer seem to care about careful evidence-based economic policy-making?
Do you perhaps have a link to a study that proves this? Or other arguments? If not, an expert should refrain from making such claims!

How many reasons for the fall of Rome are there? This book identifies 500 reasons. So is the ice age nr 501?
'Der Fall Roms' by Alexander Demandt www.zvab.com/Fall-Roms-Au... By the way, the title has a nice double meaning in the German language. It means 'the fall of Rome' and 'the case Rome'.
