Hey! Calvinists drink! Rebekah Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 02:11:15 PM
The educational value is high enough for me that I am continuing, but listening to the guy talk about how Drenthe refused to send soldiers and only paid half the assessment made, whereas many of the towns in Overijssel were opposed to the State Council as opposed to the States General...well, it is just a bit tedious.


That is a pity.

I think I will still read it someday, though. I'd like to know more about the country of my heritage.
