I haven't given the sources because I collected these over twenty years of
work, trying to come to grips with the general history of Europe and the
influence climate had on politics and culture.

I didn't, at the time, think that this stuff would be needed to prove that I
don't make this stuff up.

My sources were at least as good, or as bad, as those of anyone else in this
forum who looks up and promotes a Web blog as an authority, or takes some
claims from a museum administrator's popular book.

Most of them came from books by historians who weren't selling a
climate-change message.
