Ep. 199 – How Holland was Lost to the Holy Roman Empire (Part 2 - the Economy)

Описание: So, why did Holland really leave the empire? Was it because the valiant and tragic countess Jacqueline was “hunted down from one land to the other, all of them mine”. Was it a story of misogyny, betrayal, incompetence and ruthless power politics. Yes, it was.


But it was a also a story of economic and climate change and one that links into the herring trade of the Hanseatic League, the decline of Teutonic Knights and even into the Hussite Revolt, topics that seem distant, but mattered.


This week we focus on this, the latter part of the story


The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau (https://www.windrep.org/Michel_Rondeau)  under Common Creative Licence 3.0 (https://imslp.org/wiki/Flute_Sonata_i...) .
