    A conversation amongst #Kpop fans included this mention of the variety of fans and the importance of inclusivity and mutual respect in the fandom here on Mastodon - qualities sorely lacking in some other Kpop spaces.

    Anyway, that part of the conversation reminded me of the history of inclusivity and mutual respect, which in turn set me thinking about religious "toleration" in early modern European history, which in turn reminded me of the Edict of Torda in the Transylvania of 1568:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of

    I was going to finish there with a pronouncement of "There's a lot more to Transylvania than Dracula!" which is true, but, on reflection, a bad note on which to end because it sounds smug and condescending.

    Yes, early modern history is fascinating, anybody who can visit Transylvania should do so, and "toleration" deserves much attention from both a historical and philosophical point of view - but shouldn't I be more alive to today's interest in vampirism and to goth subcultures ? Shouldn't I remember that, in the words of @pixelcats, "all ways of stanning are valid" and that includes the stanning of Transylvania too?

    From Kpop to C16 Torda and back again!

  18. I was Today Years Old when I learned that Charles I was not the last king chucked off the throne of England by parliament

    James II was chucked off by parliament on 23 December 1688 over a concern over the potential for a Catholics vs Protestants civil war

    (I did do Medieval and Early Modern History at university, but the Early Modern history was social history - the lives of every day people, religion etc -, not political history - not monarchs and battles)

  30. I posted a little while ago about removing the statue of Robert Clive from the vicinity of the Foreign Office in London.

    Here's another statue that ought to be moved from its current location: the Oliver Cromwell statue outside the UK House of Commons. In replies to this post, I'll put forward four reasons for this proposal and suggest a replacement.

  33. Turn me around. This is a printed "Drehbild" from 1558 Germany, likely designed for and sold to Protestants as a decor paper, or simply to have a turn-around paper device handy.

    If you zoom in, dear #EarlyModons and #histodons: it's a #pope that turns into a devilish satyr.
