ππ»ββοΈ TIL: πβοΈ Volcanologists and historians are using #ice cores, #tree rings, and #medieval records to connect major eruptions to human events.
#Krakatauβs 1883 explosion, the mystery blast of 536, #Samalas in 1257, #Laki in 1783, and #Tambora in 1815, show how #volcano-driven cooling shifted #agriculture, #disease, and #migration. Historical #climate shocks like these offer clues to how modern society may handle rapid planetary change.

SIGUE β¬οΈ
MΓ‘s de seiscientos aΓ±os despuΓ©s, la historia del Hospital dels Ignoscents sigue formando parte de la historia sanitaria de Valencia.
Y quizΓ‘ el detalle mΓ‘s curioso de todos sea que el hombre al que todo el mundo conoce como **Padre JofrΓ© probablemente se llamaba simplemente Joan Gilabert**.
No hizo falta que fuera un santo perfecto ni un hombre sin contradicciones para que aquella decisiΓ³n tuviera consecuencias enormes.
BastΓ³ con que, aquel dΓa de 1409, no pasara de largo.

Lord knows what's going on with works submitted to the Royal Commission for Ancient and Historic Monuments in Wales these days. Talk of merger with Cadw seems to be leading to some kind of internal disarray, all round.
So, if you like some corrective work to the 'official' history of Edward I, start here , where official bureaucracy doesn't hinder the whole process:
