En zoals gewoonlijk weer een fantastisch oog voor detail in zowel woord als beeld. De honderden uren aan onderzoek, animatie en montage die per aflevering worden besteed zijn niet te onderschatten. Ik kijk uit naar de lotgevallen van Willem, Willem Lodewijk en Ernst Casimir in de komende afleveringen.
Why did i learn in Dutch High School that Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, duke of Alba was actually the duke of Alva? Weren't we able to pronounce the letter B in the '40s & 50s?
They are mutualy interchangeable. In Spanish there is no difference in pronounciation. Maybe it's relatable to the Indo-European constonant shift in Grimms law. A linguistic law that says that all Indo-european languages follow the same pattern of constonant shifts. For example: Pater in Latin is Vader in Dutch. In the course of history the P sound became an F/V-sound. The letter B is also in that list. So maybe Alba is simply a more authentic way of writing Alva.
I like the video content but wonder why you would put so much effort into them but won't put the effort into pronouncing the word "Friesian." The "ie" rhymes with the "ee" sound in freeze and not the "i" sound in frigid.

Geweldige video
„95 problems and the pope is one“ got me giggling 🤭
