Biography

For as long as I can remember, history has caught my interest on a grand scale. Although I spent the majority of my studies delving into (early) modern subjects, I've since drifted off to the marvelous medieval matters that preceded them.

Interestingly, Roman law and Athenian democracy get a lot of credit for being some of the foundations of the modern world. But in the same vein, I think the Middle Ages played as significant a role in the advent of modernity as Classical Antiquity did. That's why I've made it my mission to keep exploring the meritorious Medieval Era.
