This was great fun.

I am going to get one of these and do all 5 Irish munros in the next decade or two. Green Xs to distinguish.

In Spain in the 1930s you could be banned from remarrying in divorce proceedings if you had prostituted your first wife. #legalhistory #kiel #universityofhamburg

The west coast of Norway was the epicentre of leprosy in the 19th century so you could get a divorce on the specific basis that your spouse had hidden their leprosy from you. #legalhistory #kieluniversity #universityofhamburg

In 18th century Denmark you could get a divorce where your outlaw spouse engaged in dishonest crimes. Honest crimes were fine. #legalhistory #kiel

The weather is literally Baltic; a balmy 2°.

The more zen history leaning presenters: *Read sedately from a polished double spaced finalised paper.*

At Kiel in North Germany to give a 20 min double handed paper with Rebecca Probert on the legal history of marriage regulation on these islands. 5 nations, 250 years, a whistlestop 20 slides with cool pictures.
