Yesterday I was at the second "Straô" of the season, winter beach ride for draft horses on the island of Schouwen-Duiveland in Zeeland province. Cold but happy faces everywhere and some beautifully adorned horses with colourful wreaths & pompoms. More photos and a few short videos: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjC2zLG

Yesterday Sat 18 Feb was the day of the "Straô" in #BurghHaamstede in the Dutch coastal province of #Zeeland. It's an early season beach ride with (work) horses, often decorated with wreaths and colourful pompoms. This was the 2nd one, 4 more to go in other villages.

@Tony_Meredith Just stumbled across this article by Ronald Dunning on a Burgh-Darcy marriage, back in 1329: https://janeausteninvermont.blog/2013/03/13/what-jane-knew-a-1329-darcy-de-bourgh-marriage-in-jane-austens-family-tree/
Elizabeth #LadyofClare probably attended the first wedding of her husband's sister Joan de #Burgh at #Greencastle in 1312, but left Ireland in 1316 so would not have been at the second.
I think the #PrideAndPrejudice #CharacterNames allude to #UKpolitics in #JaneAusten's day, but a lot of #genealogical info was available to her: more at https://historians.social/@kawulf/109627062228137872

@Tony_Meredith Sheryl Craig & Janine Barchas have documented the political context & other #CharacterNames convincingly, but although the characters of #EdmundBurke & the fictitious #CatherineDeBourgh are discussed, & other #Whig names make political references clear, I have not seen the name discussed explicitly.
Modern readers may not realise that these are variant spellings? but there were Irish #Burgh & #Burke peers in Jane’s time, both using variants of the original Burgh arms.
