I am regularly asked by the press and radio stations to comment on facts and current events that have some link with the Middle Ages. You may think of behaviour of football supporters that is characterised as 'medieval', the find of a 'kogge' (a medieval freighter) in the river IJssel, medieval love letters, the Utrecht Psalter (when that manuscript was put on the Unesco heritage list), or the question, whether the offer of the French president. M. Macron, to lend the Bayeux Tapestry to England for an exhibition might not lead to problems (in connection with Brexit). A talk about my research on forms of communication in the margins of medieval society elicited a response from a French theatre group interested in witches.
