Jacob van Utrecht (b.1479 - d.1529), 'Portrait of a Young Woman from Lubeck, possibly of the Von Allard family, holding a carnation', oil on panel, Dutch/German, circa 1525, currently in the collection of the Louvre, Paris, France.

The coat of arms are attributed to a North German Family of Dutch Origin, the Von Allards; with the carnation representing an engagement. Passing through multiple notable collections of the 19th century, including the Marquise Gian Martino Arconati-Visconti, it was donated to the Louvre in 1914.

October 11th 1297 was the date of the letter from William Wallace to the mayor of Lübeck.

October 11th 1297 a letter from Wallace and Moray to the mayors of Lübeck and Hamburg was drawn up, saying that “The Kingdom of Scotland has, by God’s Grace, recovered by battle from the power of the English”.

This is a remarkable piece of history, and I am honoured to have seen it in person when it was on loan to Scotland a few years ago.

The Lübeck letter was first discovered preserved in the Lübeck archives in the 1820s. It was often mentioned in books thereafter. In 1942, Lübeck, on the Baltic coast of Germany, was attacked by Allied aircraft. As a result, the town’s archives, including the letter, were moved to a saltmine for safety. At the end of the war, the Soviet army took the papers east. The archives were later handed over to the archive administration of East Germany, but the medieval documents were not among the records. It was assumed that they had been lost.

In the 1970s Lübeck documents were found in the archives of the USSR. In 1990, after some negotiation, the town’s medieval records, including Wallace and Murray’s letter, were returned to Lübeck.

There have been calls for the letter to be returned to Scotland, whereas it would be nice to have it to display in one of our museums I think it is as much a piece of Lübeck’s history as ours, and also as recipients of the letter it is rightfully there property.

Originally, there were two letters; one to Lübeck and one to Hamburg. The contents were identical and the letters were scribed within a month of the Scots’ success at Stirling Bridge.

The translated letter reads……“

Andrew de Murray and William Wallace, leaders of the army of the kingdom of Scotland, and the community of the same kingdom, to their worthy, discreet and beloved friends the mayors and communes of Lübeck and Hamburg, greeting, and increase always of sincere friendship.It has been intimated to us by trustworthy merchants of the said kingdom of Scotland that you by your own goodwill are giving counsel, help and favour in all causes and business concerning us and our merchants, although our merits had not deserved this, and therefore all the more are we bound to you to give you thanks and a worthy recompense, to do which we are willing to be obliged to you; and we ask you that you will make it be proclaimed amongst your merchants that they can have secure access to all ports of the kingdom of Scotland with their merchandise since the kingdom of Scotland, thanks be to God, has by arms been recovered from the power of the English. Farewell.Given at Haddington in Scotland on the 11th day of October in the year of grace one thousand two hundred and ninety seven.

We request moreover that you will see fit to forward the business of John Burnet and John Frere, our merchants, just as you wish us to forward the business of your merchants. Farewell. Given as before.”

Significantly, the letter carries the only known impression of William Wallace’s personal seal, which shows the Scottish Lion Rampant on the front and on the reverse, a strung bow with a protruding arrow. The inscription appears to read ‘William, son of Alan Wallace’, which is interesting in relation to determining just who Wallace was exactly. An Aleyn Waleys – described as ‘tenant le Roi du counte de Are’ – signed the 1296 ‘Ragman Roll’ and he is quite possibly William Wallace’s father.

Another thing about the letter is the fact that Moray is involved with it, Andrew de Moray was, in the North of Scotland every bit as important as Wallace, history tells us that he was wounded at Stirling Bridge and died of his wounds in November so how involved in this was he?, if I had a time machine I would use it to learn more about Wallace and Moray.

This is a great piece of history and as I said earlier, I would love it to be part of our archives and on display in a museum, but it is the property of the people of Lübeck and we as a nation are grateful that they lend it to us on occasion.

"Gleiches" new music and video available on Youtube now !!

Here's the music video:

As I predicted, the song sounds THE SAME as his previous band/project (Von Eden). This could have been the 2nd album.

Repetitive, monotonous, almost identical to the song "Gezeiten".

Also the song contains the sample/intro of the song "Your Ex- Lover Is Dead" by Stars...I wonder if it was legally solved..because you need to obtain permission to use a sample of any song.

PS: I've done quite a research, and the song Your Ex Lover Is Dead, which "Gleiches" contains the intro of it, it's usually referred to as a song for breakups and/or broken hearts....

1ユーロは150円である。それに加えてドイツでのインフレだ。イギリスから来ている若干35歳のポスドクよりも給料低いワシ。東大の准教授の給料の低さだけじゃなくて、色々な事で日本との差異を痛感する。

ってなわけで、元々パーティーも好きじゃないし、外人どものように酒飲んで葉っぱやりながら大音量で音楽聴きつつ大声で怒鳴り合うように喋る趣味が、ワシには残念ながら無いので、この三連休はワシは引きこもることにした。毎晩のように御近所の誰かしらがパーティーをしていて、ウルサイ。

土曜日には三連休前の最後のお買い物チャンスなので、ゴーアジアという中国人経営あるよのスーパーへ。冬瓜の切り売りをしていたのでゲット。ドイツ人のおばちゃんに、冬瓜をどう食べるのか質問されるので、色々とドイツ語を駆使して説明。サラダにしようと思っていたらしいので、ワシはスープが良いかと。。。と念押ししておく。

冬瓜は、カリウムが豊富なので浮腫解消に良い。乾燥百合の花、金針菜と黒木耳を水で戻し、五香粉と一緒に冬瓜を炊く。これに豚肉のミンチ、シイタケ、玉ねぎ、人参などで作った餡かけをかけていただく。悶えるほどに美味しい。ワシは料理の天才や。

デザートには、イザベル姉さんに教えてもらったドイツ風イチゴの食べ方。デカいイチゴが多いので、適当にスライスして、砂糖をかけて放置しておき、甘酸っぱいジュースが出てきたら食べごろというシンプルなデザート。昔は牛乳を入れていたらしいが、最近は入れないらしい。ワシも、幼稚園の頃、朝ごはんにおばあちゃんが用意してくれた、底がペタンとしてつぶつぶ模様のついたイチゴスプーンで、牛乳とお砂糖をかけたイチゴを潰しながら、食べていた話をした。イザベルさんも、いつの頃からか、牛乳をかけなくなった。。。と、笑っていた。

日曜日は思い立って、近くのハンザ同盟の宗主、リューベックへ半日旅行に行く。リューベックは、リューネブルクの塩をロシアに売りつける事で儲けていた、神聖ローマ帝国の直轄都市。12世紀から続く町で、周囲を自然の運河で囲まれた城塞都市。ハンザ同盟発祥の地である。塩は金だったからねぇ。昔は。。。リューネブルクにも行かないと!

リューベックでは薬代わりや病食として食べられていたマジパンの老舗に行く。マジパン博物館があるからと本店に行ったら、マジパンの型だらけで、２階のカフェへ誘導される。ハンブルグ出身のショルツが訪れた時の写真もあって、蓮でも安部さんの写真あったなぁと思う。マジパンケーキには、アルコールが使われているということで、Ohne Alkohlと聞きまくると、フルーツを使ったケーキを色々と勧めてくる。もうスペイン産のサクランボが手に入る季節なので、kirshe torteを頼む。クリームに見えるのは、激甘のメレンゲクリームです。ケーキだけでランチ代わりになりました。帰宅は夜７時過ぎたので、貴重すぎて賞味期限切れになった中華三昧をもやし、キクラゲ、人参、玉ねぎの野菜炒めで食べた。野菜満載ラーメン。ガハハ。

三連休最終日は、朝から九大に移った教育哲学と心理学のダブル専攻だった友人の講演会。zoomって便利だわ。二人で盛り上がっていたら、末木先生が乱入。末木先生はお茶目なので、可愛げがある方だ。他人は彼を恐れるが、ワシにとっては良いおじいちゃん。そして、ダラダラと母に慰めてもらって、機嫌直して春巻を作る。十個作った春巻は黒酢で全部食べちゃった!食べ過ぎか。。。先日会った、全身入れ墨のアイコさんから教えて貰ったコールラビでサラダを作り、冬瓜の薄皮とアスパラガスの糠漬けと一緒にごま油で和えて食べる。美味しい。あと、冬瓜スープも食べた!

ワシは今、お腹いっぱい過ぎて眠いのだ。隣近所のドンチャン騒ぎを聞きながらソファで倒れているのだ。声が下品な奴って嫌いである。笑い声がえげつない奴は最悪である。品格の匕の字も無いのである。そして、ワシはこんだけタラフク食べたのに、御飯の写真を見ると幸せなのだ。けど、シャワー浴びて寝よ。

Holsten Gate in Lübeck, Germany

The Holsten Gate was constructed to protect the western boundary of the city the Hanseatic city of Lübeck and is one of the two surviving city gates of the city along with the Citadel Gate. It was built in 1464 in a brick gothic style, comprising of a central building with an archway entrance, a north and south tower. It is an antiquity and a remnant of Lübeck’s early city fortifications. The gate has two sides, the field side and the city side. There are some inscriptions on both the sides of the gate that add to the historic charm of this medieval relic.
