All new this month! We're working hard on fixing the issue with our chatty neighbours in the background, which means that for now we've moved location entirely. Until we get the original place ready again, we're filming from my little desk, and there's someone who's pretty happy about that and decided to join in. Say hi to Mishka! I hope you'll enjoy the relaxing cat purring sounds. (And I swear I don't normally film in my pyjama pants lol.)
As for today's topic, let's look through some Spanish Habsburg history.
The book is by Bartolomé Bennassar and Bernard Vincent. The German translation is called "Spanien im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert" (originally in French "Le temps de l'Espagne").
