He/Him. Former Medievalist. I research Byzantine and English treaties in the Middle Ages when I can, and enjoy dogs and surfing when I can't.
The days are getting shorter, but the pup knows the best way to start an Autumnal day

Closer than I'd like but I'll take it! LET'S GO WALES!!

(On an unrelated note, it's interesting that the Bluesky app has the Welsh flag emoji, but the website doesn't...)

I wonder what Mirabelle wants for breakfast?

I mean, putting the well flogged dead horse of 'the Dark Ages' aside, when contrasting the medieval world with Late Antiquity, one doesn't particularly note a lack of conquest or enslaved people..
need I even comment on the notion of 'no (medieval) innovation'?

Mirabelle is clearly contemplating whether medieval treaties were in fact pragmatic documents or symbolic statements denoting intent.

(She's also pretty sure she just saw a squirrel)
