I had begun a Facebook page for this some years back.
Life got in the way, and I let it languish.
I'm now thinking through the future of my historical rabbit hole. Maybe Bluesky? 🤔

What's behind the name?
Flemish noblemen protesting the policies of Philip II (king of Spain & the Low Countries) were insulted as beggars ("geuzen").
It quickly morphed: a point of pride for the rebels fighting against Philip's gov't.
Rebels or Beggars is an homage to that history.

Expect to see history, art, contemporary & antique books, and tabletop games (I am that nerd).
I'm not an academic, but rely on scholarly sources.
#Skystorians, please forgive my fanboying; I'd also love to share your work with my readers.

GOOD NEWS for the discipline: there are *many* #earlymodern historians. Bad news: we couldn't all squeeze into one pack. So here's the second, do follow all the wonderful researchers in this one as well: go.bsky.app/NQqDFr1 #skystorians
