Interesting that prominently mentioning "News from Tilly's Headquarters" was a selling point in Antwerp.

Very cool!
Trying to work out the name... John Reesnitz?

Bit of culture... stopped for a quick butchers at Rocroi, where the ramparts are very much still intact. #30yearswar #belgianbeerweekender

17th October. Battle of Lemgo. Well some folk like a bit of poetry (and fall for it). Others like a bit of archival endeavour.
Where do you stand?

I did this figure last year and shared some pics, but I've recently seriously upped my photography game. So, here are some shots that really do it justice. 75mm figure of a curiassier in Swedish service, c. 1630. #histscalemodels #30yearswar
I see there's going to be a re-creation of the battle of White Mountain in Prague this weekend. www.praguedaily.news/2025/09/17/t...
And it's Breitenfeld day.

Another coin hoard from the #30yearswar era found. This time in Brandenburg. arkeonews.net/hidden-treas...
(Trying to remember the last one I heard about. In Erfurt, maybe? Found in a church?)
IMH's Prefekt @profmurdoch.bsky.social here discusses a range of issues around the #30YearsWar with @alicekonig.bsky.social from the @uniofstandrews.bsky.social

Ah, too bad the timing is off for me or I would definitely want to attend. Will be curious who will be presenting.

A good opportunity to think through genres of contemporary writing about the #30yearswar. I haven't heard of Latomi, but the pamphlet literature is filled with "recent histories" which seem to be distinct from the newspapers @vor400.bsky.social has been working from.
Thank you very much for your service. Even though I have spent a lot of time on the #30yearswar, I continually learned new things from your posts.
Are you sure you don't want to keep going with the newspapers in the Bremen collection 😉? brema.suub.uni-bremen.de/zeitungen17/...
Everyone has a favourite Dutch Golden Age painter!
This is mine.
Who is yours?

The Battle of #Lemgo ( #VlothoBridge ) took place on this day, 17 October 1638:
The battle has been misunderstood for generations. Kathrin Zickermann and I explain why here:

I should look at things more closely sometimes...
I finally went through the list of autograph letters of #30yearswar figures auctioned off here (there were 72 of them)and there was one massively important document that I didn't notice the first time: www.venator-hanstein.de/katalog/deta...
Semi-apropos, Venator and Hanstein are auctioning off a bunch of autograph letters from commanders in the #30yearswar. Judging from this Wallenstein letter, it looks like the Cromwell letter is a better deal. www.venator-hanstein.de/katalog/deta...
I confess I haven't paid a lot of attention to numismatics, but this auction looks quite interesting. www.kuenker.de/en/auktionen...

(Sure would be an expensive hobby to take up! You could probably get a Rembrandt etching for those prices.)
Did any of my followers listen to the Chapo Trap House podcast series Hell on Earth about the #30yearswar? I admit I wasn't interested in signing up, but I should keep up to date about what's being said on the topic in popular culture. A review here: jacobin.com/2024/08/chap...

A page from an autograph book signed by Lorentz Otto von Ottersbach with a watercolor image of him swimming in the Danube river to escape from rebelling peasants in 1626.
Since @drkarrschmidt.bsky.social shared a page from her lovely album amicorum on bsky today, I thought I'd link to this image from an album amicorum that sold at auction today (alas, not to me). Lorentz Otto von Ottersbach escaping rebelling Upper Austrian peasants in 1626. #30yearswar
