While 'owls on ice' is already something and a half, this engraving has also a motto (in Dutch): Hoe passen wy byeen - How do we fit together? It is about couples and about being together with someone in a world of nonsense, a timeless topic made under the impression of the #ThirtyYearsWar in Europe -

The vicar of #Rimbach (#Odenwald) is the last one in this #familyHistory series (for now). Interesting example of #migration in the aftermath of the #ThirtyYearsWar.

The image reflects the "Nürnberger Friedensexekutionskongress" dealing with opened (minor) questions of the #ThirtyYearsWar. And this event was happening in Nuremberg.

Fighting about the manuscript: this peer review situation between reviewer 1 (the helpful armored lion on the left bravely fighting to rescue the text) and reviewer 2 (the devil himself) was in fact a detail in a #earlymodern propaganda print of the #ThirtyYearsWar. #academicchatter

According to the German text, the roaring and killing beast is an animal symbolizing war in general. So this print is a reflection of the #ThirtyYearsWar in Europe. #skystorians

It's ALWAYS Austria's fault!

In my experience as a historian of this topic, whenever a German town sent a letter to its sovereign during the Thirty Years War, it was not to welcome a garrison but along this line 'that this town has no opportunity to take in any garrison'.

The Battle of Havelberg in the summer of 1627. Danes on the cathedral hill right of the River Havel are firing furiously into Havelberg, Imperialist defenders on the left return fire from the upper floors and roofs of the waterfront houses. The Danes eventually abandoned the battle and retreated from Havelberg.

The #ThirtyYearsWar tore Central Europe apart, destroying towns, cities, and farmland. What happened to those forced from their homes?

Count Khevenhüller's chronicle told that the Danes built a redoubt at "Tollspicker" in 1627. I was like the Tolls-what-now?, because Google doesn't know that place name.
Then Mattheus Merian's map of Lüneburg from 1642 came to the rescue.

Our messenger is a tiny detail of a broadside published in 1621 Germany, during the later so-called #ThirtyYearsWar. More precisely, our walking detail is part of a printed #rebus with the title "Des pfaltzgrafen Haußgsind".

The Thirty Years' War wasn’t just a fight over religion—it was starvation, plague, and the collapse of Europe. Millions died, not in battle, but in fire, famine, and fear.

And round and round it goes, volvelle-style. This #earlymodern broadsheet is deeply engaged with contemporary topics of the #ThirtyYearsWar. Eight perspectives on one page, a complex story to enfold for the audiences. A volvelle does the trick.

#RhodeIsland rarely comes up in the #ScienceFiction I normally read, but it has in the book I #amReading currently, _Roswell_ by Sonny Whitelaw and Jennifer Fallon, a #Stargate SG-1 novel. After a series of errors, the team ends up in Providence in 1908, and resorts to breaking into #BrownUniversity (with the help of 17-year-old Howard Phillips #Lovecraft) to find parts to fix their time machine.
Other books that mention my home state include _True Names_ by Vernor Vinge, where one of the characters engaging in virtual reality in the story made their real-life home in #RI. Also the _Red Son_ #AltHist duology by John Deakins and Herb Sakalaucks, where political changes that ensued from the 1990s town of #Grantville popping up in the #ThirtyYearsWar, King Charles I sold off England's North American holdings to France.
A final work was another #AlternateHistory story, "The Sleeping Serpent" by Pamela Sargent, where the Mongol horde conquered Western Europe. Centuries later the Khanate had settlements on the eastern coast of North America. A young prince, disgusted by the decadence of the late empire and admiring the lifestyle of the Natives, fomented a revolution in these Colonies with the help of a half-blood resident and some tribes. #SciFi

> .. If he had been Dutch, there would have been too many Dutchmen; if Italian, too many Italians; and if French, too many Frenchmen. The unhappy #ThirtyYearsWar was devastating Germany; but every other country looks back to this century as an epoch which witnessed some culmination of its genius. Certainly this was a great period of English thought; as at a later time #Voltaire impressed upon France.

⬆️ Nothing happened to #NeverAgain. The premise was faulty.

#GreatWar to "end all wars" did not end all wars. Led to #WWII in < a generation.
#FirstWorldWar was not the first global war.
#ThirtyYearsWar in #Europe spilt into #Dutch–#Portuguese War stretching to #Brazil, #Africa, #India, #China, & #EastAsia.
#SevenYearsWar was also global in scope
Even in Mahabharata, Krishna allegedly said, "yada yada hi…," not "Never Again!"

The only one apparently not pleased about the conclusion of the #PeaceOfWestphalia was ultra-Catholic Cologne principal #envoy Wartenberg, who locked himself in his quarters & demonstratively displayed his displeasure. Despite the conclusion of the #WestphalianPeaceTreaty is generally considered to mark the end of the #ThirtyYearsWar, the #WestphalianPeaceCongress continued into 1649. The peace had no legal validity until it was ratified, nor was it a reality until it was implemented. 5/5

For lovers of violins: I wrote an article about a very, very big violin, its sounds, and dancing soldiers. All this and more was on a #broadside published in 1632, in the middle of the #ThirtyYearsWar. The topic? Portraying the news business as a generally untrustworthy industry producing false and #fakenews. For #NewsHistory, #BookHistory and #earlymodern #MediaHistory. Soon open access, stay tuned for more news. #histodons

Banging the big #drum in 1631! This is a Protestant mocking and warning of Catholic #propaganda and military recruitment during the #ThirtyYearsWar.
This #broadside shows, among other details, a very big drum that is played by Monks and Jesuits (on the left). On the right is the #Devil in a military uniform - and other clerics with the ready war chest.
#MediaHistory knows: the conflicts between 1618-48 filled the newspapers of the time, and inspired lots of media battles. #Histodons

If you enjoy calming images of a #rainbow on social media, be aware that you haven't seen yet such a rainbow thing with two extra suns. In 1645, in the last years of of the later called #ThirtyYearsWar, these rainbows and three suns were maybe seen near #Nuremberg, and interpreted as a godly sign for peace and a reminder to behave better. #histodons

...did not develop to enshrine these concepts, as they were the result of historical struggles.
What is more, until the invention of the #NationState, arguable as conceived in the #TreatyOfWestphalia of 1648 (ending the #ThirtyYearsWar in #Europe), but not too prominent until the 19th century, it was common practice to redistribute fiefdoms through marriages and the like according to...
