Det livar alltid upp att läsa om när någon får audiens hos sultanen Muley Hafid av Marocko. "denne kalle, begåfvade och grymme man, hvars käraste nöje lär vara att klippa klorna på sin favorittiger".
I'm seldom happier than when playing around with letters, accounts and minuits left behind by people long since dead. My doctoral dissertation "Servants of Fortune - The Swedish Court between 1598 and 1721" dealt with the Swedish court during Sweden's age of greatness. At present I'm finishing a book on the Swedish court of the eighteenth century.
