Vanavond bezoek ik het mooie Hasselt, om tijdens het Hanzeconcert wat over @CollectieOv bronnen te vertellen. Reizende burgemeesters, feestelijke diners en middeleeuwse muzikanten! 📜🎷 En geen straf om daarbij ook naar mooie muziek te luisteren.

The modern edition of #historyinconflict (i.e. zooming in on 19th-20th c.) will take place on Friday, 24.06 from 13:00 CET onwards! More information is coming: we are very much looking forwards to connecting the insights of medieval, early modern and modern #twitterstorians.

[Ester Zoomer @esterzoomer]

And, of course, lovely to finally meet most of the participants in person. Now it's time for lots of musing about @retro_conflicts, Hanseatic merchants in London, and analyzing diplomacy, pragmatism and ideas of common good & shared identity abroad in our sources 📜

[Premodern conflict management @retro_conflicts]

Time to start! We're looking forward to an exciting #historyinconflict seminar (and the many #earlymodern sources to discuss 📜💻)

The court records at @FelixArchief are a gift that keeps on giving! Someone clearly had some sketching time on their hands (and I'm glad they did). Today's favorites for #medievaltwitter #twitterstorians

Found in the 1509-12 vonnisboek (V#1234) at the @FelixArchief in Antwerp. And a good start to a week of archival research 📜 #twitterstorians

With some lovely surprises found on the inside of the covers as well (incl. a birdhat?) 2/3
