PhD-candidate @ KU Leuven/ULille - Late medieval women and gender in Burgundian Pardon Letters
🤡Today's find: On 24 July 1510, Jacques Hallinc dressed as a jester during a festival in Bruges. He wore ragged women’s clothes and carried a fool’s staff, playfully tapping people and joking around. On Vlamingdam, a crowd gathered, including Marguerite of Vlissingen (more below)

Finally made the switch from Twitter to Bluesky! To celebrate this, a small thread about a recent find in the Archives Départementales du Nord. I just happened to stumble upon a pardon letter describing a crime that took place in the very village where I was born and raised—what a coincidence! (1/5)
