Hello, I am Thomas Antonius, but you can call me Tom, if you like. I am a 23 year-old History student from the Netherlands. I study at Leiden University and specialize in Medieval History. Besides that, I work as an editor for Leidschrift, a historical magazine. My research at the moment concentrates on Charles V's ambassadors to England.
