The History Carnival ...

... has reached the (traditional) age of majority. No XXI is up now on CLEWS: The Historic True Crime Blog. And thanks, Laura, I've had a good run.

But there's also plenty of bloggers who are new to me there - expect to see my history blogroll enhanced soon.

Items that particularly took my fancy: "Angela Merkel a reincarnation of Otto von Bismarck?" and "The Maid's Revenge".

And the distant past now has its own blogging artist ... Watch out for the Daeodon!
