Or the question of whether the historian’s main virtue is skepticism?! I’ve written many times about Count Nesselrode and the caricatural image he left in history. And all based on the testimonies of contemporaries. They always spoke the truth and were extremely objective, of course. Who would doubt them?! It wasn’t just the chancellor who […]
