Ever get really sad about someone who died c.1359?

[finnlongman]

A couple of years ago I shared a piece of marginalia written by a 21-year-old scribe and law student who was living through the plague: "May this great plague pass over me and my friends, and restore us once more to joy and gladness," he wrote on Christmas Eve around 1350. He came back a year later to tell us he survived: "May we reach the anniversary of this night many times."

Today I was reading a legal text associated with his family, and in the introduction I learned that that scribe died nine years after he wrote that first message, when he was thirty years old.

The Annals of Ulster writes: "Aedh son of Concobur Mac Aedhagain, who was to be chief professor of jurisprudence, died." (This is under the entry for 1356, but its dates are consistently a little off; the plague is first mentioned under the entry for 1346, which is a couple of years before it actually reached Ireland, and Aedh told us he was writing in the second year of it – hence "c.1359".)

I don't know what he died of. But I am sad to think he did not see the anniversary of that night all that many times. :(

another annoying type of person are the people who, every single time there's a place that doesn't allow dogs, like a restaurant or airplanes, will inevitably comment "well I prefer dogs over screaming children!". In my perfect dictatorship these people will be shot on sight.

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person
