Yellow Journalism - Part 01

Coming up: Review/rec of Enemy At The Door, a series set during the occupation of the Channel Islands.

Inbetween, here's a few cobbled-together pieces on two guys at the European courts. They are largely unedited and hastily scribbled while cross-referencing Wikipedia and related sources. Do not take them as gospel.

(Both of these guys are also woefully underrepresented in the world of period drama. This is a shame, both of them had interesting careers that would lend themselves well to court drama and war stories respectively.)
( Adolf Ludvig Gustav Fredrik Albert Badin - 1747-1822 - Sweden )

( Abram Petrovitj Gannibal - 1696-1781 - Russia )
