This'll just be somewhere else to put some of my notes on the wider world in which my conlang Boral lives [Old Thread here]
Excerpt of the lang:
Macaria Giosforo saf ig l'hiembra noc y ferscip mattin pront la i sal y vec e respir nell'aer fum e mar de Weston, oc bourg commovent.
/ˌma.kaˈʀja ˌʒɔs.foˈʀo saf aj ljɛmˈbʀa nɔk y fɛʀˈxɪp maˈtɪn ˈpʀɔnt la i ˈsal i ˈvɛk e ʀɛsˈpɪʀ ne.laˈɛʀ fɪm e ˈmaʀ de vɛsˈtɔn | ɔk ˈbuʀg ˌko.moˈvɛnt.
Macaria Giosforo knows she's missed the morning ferry the moment she steps off the veck and inhales the smoke-sea air of bustling Weston.
Hmmm, what to post first? How about:
questions taken from the January 2003 N scitation documents for the course 1471 - 1517: War, Peace and Exploration after the Novomundine Landfall, 37st avenue in Concurrence History at the Tremonow Open School (formerly the Brethin Mesh Institute).
Question 1 (thirty minutes)
Discuss the effect of three new foodstuffs introduced to North Africa and Europe via either (i) the Maroccan involvement in Western Cappatia, or (ii) the New Navarre Enterprise.
Question 2 (ninety minutes)
“Perhaps we should have sent for a Kentish witness! They might learn the subtle craft of ending the wars they start.”
- General Guillen daus Sanz on the eve of the Battle of Margès, 1499
Answer any two of the three questions related to the above quote.
(i) A colleague of yours commends daus Sanz and Lord Menton for achieving independence in just two years, noting that in Albion the conflict lasted for thirty-one. In what ways might you dispute their characterisation of events?
(ii) The quote suggests that, although Burgundy was not directly involved in the Albion Wars of Fealty, knowledge of the conflict was widespread in Europe. Examine the opinion of any relevant courts (for example, that of Ambrose’s Vascony) towards Kent under the Two Henries, and how these impacted Kent’s standing between Albion and Gaul.
(iii) To what extent can we say that the Provençal Secession from the Kingdom of Burgundy inpired the development of the principles of Vicinity? You may wish to consider the writings of Jaume fi Gustau advocating for the Savoisin language, and, if you have time, compare the Secession to the Emergency at Dijon in 1170 (although this falls somewhat outside the bounds of this course).
