Nezinu ko man īsti komentēt, bet, protams, šī hronika kopā ar Livonijas Atskaņu hroniku no 18. gadsimta līdz šodienai ir teksti, kas tikuši izmanoti identitāšu veidošanai un šim procesam nav nekāda sakara ar viduslaikiem.

If he is so effective, maybe JD Vance could come to Latvia and campaign for Orban’s ally Ainārs Šlesers. We have elections in October.

Most neighbours of Russia have suffered from the Russian imperialism, however, it is historically inaccurate and a bit pretentious to claim that East Prussia somehow has been taken away from Lithuania.
Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.

I have two friends. One of them studies medieval whales. The other one used to be a scholar of medieval Wales.
BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms
A US official invokes the Avignon papacy; popes and would-be kings quarreling with one another. Somewhere Boniface VIII and Henry VIII are having a good laugh. Once again late medieval and early modern history retain their relevance.

Here it is folks, the best Easter meme.

In the Middle Ages sex was a tricky thing. More noes than yeses.
It was blindingly obvious a year ago that Trump would never risk the life of a single US soldier to defend Latvia or, for that matter, Britain. The unforgivable bit is NATO’s leadership doing nothing about it. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

A man standing, holding a book. He has rabbit teeth and strinking devil's horns.
When a Jesuit pamphletist of the 17th century wanted to win a printed battle, often images accompanying the words were used. In this case of 1614, the author he was batteling with is highlighted on the title page as a *checks notes* Luther lookalike with devilish horns and rabbit teeth. #skystorians

Just beautiful elephants of the past, printed by (European) humans who likely have rarely seen an elephant before or were just bad printers.
