Today, my review of @catjarman.bsky.social’s book ‘River Kings’ (or, rather, its German translation ‘Flusskönige’) has been published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. In short: go and read the book (if you haven’t already)!

Four years ago, I wrote a small Twitter thread about this episode – I’ll spare you all of it (mostly because I found it too time-consuming to piece it together from my Twitter archive), but you’ll get the TLDR post with one of my rare attempts to be witty and post a meme … 2/
![Screenshot of an old tweet by Dominik Waßenhoven with a picture of a couple walking by a woman (on the left of the picture); the man looks back at the woman and seems to whistle; the other woman, who is holding hands with the man (on the right of the picture) looks aghast. The people are labeled as follows: The man: Brun; the woman on the right (holding hands with the man): Otto; the woman on the left: Hugo. The tweet reads: ’TLDR: Thietmar tells this story [emoji with downward pointing finger] (and remember – memes are always accurate).’](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lolkfvqjqx2r2bvidwciupv7/bafkreigux32mlsxxzx5rpmwqzydpbiturtaxsewqxpclbqvh45fypwaafm@jpeg)

Recently finished an overhaul of my presentation on diplomatics for undergraduate students, and I’m enthralled (again) by so many aspects of medieval charters! They are really #charterrific! I’m looking forward to the seminars next week and to the discussions with the students.

To be honest, I haven’t kept up with the latest developments. But yes, British politics seems to be in decline for a couple of years now, unfortunately. All I can offer is a picture of nice landscape which I hope will cheer you up!
