What road is this?
At the bottom, North of the Thames, you have The Strand/Fleet Street quite clearly
Then further North, you have a road sort of paralleling it - but I don't know what road this is?
It's a 1680s map so its presumably a road that later had a newer one laid over it, but what is it? View attachment 528677
Looking at John Rocque's Map of London, 1746, I think it's High Holbourn / Holbourn?What road is this?

Looking at a map of where Holborn Viaduct is now and comparing that with the map I linked to*, it seems that the Holborn Viaduct replaces where Holbourn used to become Holbourn Hill, then Holbourn Bridge (over the River Fleet I think) then Snow Hill, then Hart-Row St leading to Newgate.Fantastic map! Thank you - yes, it would seem to be Holborn/Holbourn. I didn't know it was around in the 1680s,but I guess my knowledge of it got confused by the construction of the Holborn Viaduct. What did it do before that? Dip down then back up again?
Can anyone recommend a good book with an overview of the Bronze Age (history/culture/society/technology)? Looking for a good book aimed at a general reader and not necessarily uber-academic. Thanks.
Thank you! Appreciate the recommendation.Eric Cline's 1177 is theoretically aimed at explaining the Bronze Age Collapse but in his lectures about it he said he wanted to write a book about WHAT collapsed, so it's something of a starting point, eminently readable albeit not that long really
Thank you! Appreciate the recommendation.
What if Vikings had been mercenaries for Iberian Muslim rulers? What if there had been analoges of Varangian guardsmen in Spanish Emirates ?It is often the case that people on this forum have miscellaneous or frivolous questions that could be easily answered by the many experts on this forum but are difficult to find the answer to on Google Scholar/Books or Wikipedia because they don't often deal in alternatives.
There are other cases where people have miscellaneous or frivolous scenarios or challenges that they want to share about an idea they encountered that could perhaps provoke inspiration in other users but isn't deserving enough to be posted as a thread on its own.
These issues have been addressed in the Shared Worlds and ASB forums but haven't been dealt with here.
This thread is intended to be a resource for those with questions about a timeline they want to construct which are minor and undeserving of their own thread, and a place to share ideas that people don't have time, skill or knowledge to write themselves.
Eastern Gothic Horse Lords with horse archery adopt a more Alan or Scythian style military. Than battle the approaching huns.It is often the case that people on this forum have miscellaneous or frivolous questions that could be easily answered by the many experts on this forum but are difficult to find the answer to on Google Scholar/Books or Wikipedia because they don't often deal in alternatives.

Maybe annexed at some point by British ? Malta could have been a strategic asset for British Empire? Or maybe by an unified Italy?I think so.
To start it off-
If Napoleon hadn’t done his thing, how long could the rule of the Knights of St. John last on Malta? I know they weren’t the most popular by the time he arrived, but he was the one who brought the whole structure down.
They would have the honorific treatment of 'his/her Excellency': The Most Excellent (Excmo. sir) and if, as would be very probable that, they are 'Grandees of Spain', too, then they would have a rank comparable to the English Peer of the Kingdom and in (official/diplomatic) written form, their names should be, (accordingly to the protocol/etiquette,of course) followed by the post-nominals 'GE'.Forms of address for a Spanish grandee Duke?
His X the Duke?
Or his X , the most Y duke?
Your XXX ?
What about for a Spanish Viceroy?
Thanks
