A great presentation from Lyndal Roper, now Q&A time. Did you know that between 70,000 and 100,000 people died in just two to three months during the German Peasants' War? This map shows the extent of the destruction - hundreds of castles, convents, and monastaries were attacked

Today, I accidently delved into the world of gambling in 16th-century Netherlands. Apparently, King Philip II of Spain believed that if his governor-general, Margaret of Parma, had no means of securing money, she could always draw from the lottery. #earlymodern #skystorians
