Who is behind the blog?

My name is Dirk de Klein. I’m not a professional historian, but I have a deep personal passion for history. I was born in a small town called Geleen, located in the province of Limburg in the southeastern Netherlands. In 1997, I moved to Ireland, where I’ve lived ever since. Through this blog, I combine my fascination with history and my love of storytelling, sharing insights and discoveries that I hope will inspire others as much as they inspire me.

I hope you will enjoy the blog.
