Very happy with the review of https://t.co/huJAaWzvjZ, it was so much fun to work with the merchants' letters and merchants' marks! Antwerp-London- #Hanse triangle.

Premodern conflict management burnout?

1472, painful introspection of a diplomat and ship commander: I internalise it all too much ('ick neme my vele saken alto nae'), I worry all day and I have become a weak, ill man.

Last Friday, @retro_conflicts very own Christian Manger splendidly defended his PhD thesis,

‘Councils, Conflicts, Correspondence: Urban Diplomacy in Reval (Tallinn) and Lübeck (c.1470–1570)’.

Good old days of premodern #diplomacy? 'Latin, a language everyone knows well'

(1464, 'wente Latin ene sprake were de alle tungen woll vornemen')

How do you solve linguistic problems during #conflictmanagement with the #Hanse?

1511, Swedish bishop: 'I'm sorry my German is not so elegant. I will do my best and throw in Latin when necessary'.

You see hands right here, but feet were also important in conflicts! They brought you places. And hence shoes were indispensable, as well. OK, we are stretching it a mile, but medieval shoes were great: check out https://t.co/lgcMRj69EE @Medievalists

Sometimes, #primarysources speak to us, #twitterstorians. To a Hanseatic merchant in 1539, the text he was referring to (decisions of the Hanseatic cities), was SINGING:

'der Ansse Steder Recesse de van solcken vnd dergliecken fellen klaerlick singen’.

1463, Lübeck, description of a conflict and a failed mediation:

'Friendship, as they said, did not want to be found' (fruntschopp so se zeden zijk nicht hefft vinden willen).

So, how did the Hanse attempt to prevent conflicts? Think, for example, of Tagfahrten, reciprocity, sending 'goede mannen' to mediate and even using merchants' marks #diplomatichistory
