I hunt fake history and correct it, but also post amazing real history stuff. Rude, obscene, vulgar, racist people who can't act like grown-ups get blocked.

Lovely late 15th century drawing from the Hausbuch von Schloss Wolfegg.
I'm especially charmed by the kid standing on a horse holding on to his dad, big brother or lord.

Maybe I'm becoming too sceptical, but what do you think?
Was this used to brand the hands of deserters?
This wooden flammable stamp thingy?
Yeah Dave, neatly put your thumb in that space please...
Is there any evidence for it being used as such?

When, in 1889, Miss Sparrow was asked why she was a spinster...
I couldn't help but grin. I'm a spinster, a very content one.

I didn't expect that.

A friend of mine who happened to be a spy once bragged about being able to hack my phone with no effort.
I took the bet.
He lost.
This is my telephone, seriously, it's an 1937 Ericsson;

"You've bought my daughter a sword for Valentine's day?"
"Yes sir."
"Oh my god, so you really love her!"
"See dad, I told you he was the right one!"

If you're a swordsmith who isn't advertising their work today, you're missing out.
Everyone knows that a sword is the perfect Valentine's day gift!

Hey its 2026, the gal can also wear a suit.
Women in suits of armour have a peculiar effect on men as well!
I'm going to buy a sallet ;)
But yes, date more people in medieval armour.
Come on, they're shiny, shiny is nice.

I talk to my dogs all day, we have long conversations.
But then I say good afternoon to a random crow just once and they look at me as if I'm crazy!
