Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum (Medieval Latin for "Deeds of the Bishops of Hamburg") is a historical treatise written between 1073 and 1076 by Adam of Bremen, 11th Century German writer. It is a history of the see of Hamburg and of Christian missions in northern Europe from the late eighth to the late eleventh century and is the primary source of our knowledge of the history, geography, and ethnography of the Scandinavian and Baltic regions and their peoples before the thirteenth century. Arriving in Bremen in 1066 and soon falling under the tutelage of Archbishop Adalbert, who figures prominently in the narrative, Adam recorded the centuries-long campaign by his church to convert Slavic and Scandinavian peoples.

His History vividly reflects the firsthand accounts he received from travelers, traders, and missionaries on the peripheries of medieval Europe. As the bishops had jurisdiction over the missions to Scandinavia, it also gives a report of the Norse paganism of the period. The existence of the work was forgotten in the later medieval period, until it was re-discovered in the late 16th century in the library of Sorø Abbey, Denmark. How do we actually know about history? Voices of the Past is a channel dedicated to recreating the original accounts from the people who lived through events, or who lived far closer to them than we do today. We do this word for word, with an accompanying soundtrack of rousing music and images.

Thank you everyone for watching and for comments! ༺❀༻ All the best! Anders Andersen Lundby was born on 16th December, 1841 in Lundby, a town near Aalborg in Denmark. In 1861, when the artist was just twenty he travelled to Copenhagen to concentrate on his artistic career. Later in 1876 Andersen Lundby moved to Munich where a great number of his paintings were exhibited. Andersen Lundby is most well known for his winter landscapes which often depict late afternoon sunshine or sunsets.

Abandoned (Danish: Forladt. Dog ej af venner i nøden; Deserted. But Not by Friends in Need) - Frants Henningsen (1888). ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum. https://twitter.com/AncientEurope/sta... Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (22 June 1850, Copenhagen – 20 March 1908, Copenhagen) was a Danish painter, illustrator and professor. His paintings depict unfortunate occurrences in the lives of middle-class people living in Copenhagen during difficult times. His connections with Denmark's more traditional, realist school encouraged criticism from many of his more reactionary contemporaries, especially Karl Madsen who objected to his appointment as a professor at the Academy in 1887. Erik Henningsen, also an artist, was his younger brother. Song: Art of silence by uniq # Forladt

Danish IC-4 trains. At first the Italian-build train proved to be a nightmare (Ansaldo-Breda also, famously, mucked up its orders for a similar train in the Netherlands) but the Danes, unlike the Dutch (who sent their trains back to Italy and demanded an immediate refund), cut out the Italians and made the trains work. They are still set to be phased out by 2024:
