Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady
The Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady (Illustre Lieve Vrouwe Broederschap) was a religious confraternity founded in 1318 in 's-Hertogenbosch to promote the veneration of the Mother of God. The brotherhood was organized around a carved wooden image of the Virgin Mary in St John’s Cathedral in 's-Hertogenbosch.[1][2] The Brotherhood had two types of members: ordinary members and sworn members, also called 'swan-brethren' because they used to donate a swan for the yearly banquet. Sworn members were clerics in principle; in fact they were often chosen among the nobility, the magistrates, etc. As a result, the Brotherhood also functioned as an important social network.

gollark: Yes, inasmuch as far as I know you need various more advanced calculus things to do much of that, as well as large quantities of other maths you don't appear to know.
gollark: One basic use is that you can calculate the rate of change of things, because that's basically what the derivative is. For example, velocity is rate of change of displacement, so you can go from displacement to velocity (to acceleration, which is rate of change of velocity, and so on), or integrate to go the other way.
gollark: Having vaguely looked at how they work, I don't think you can do that unless you know the frequency of sound in question.
gollark: Have you tried expanding the brackets?
gollark: Roughly.

Born about 1450, Bosch spent most of his life in the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, in a house overlooking the market place. At one time he sketched some designs for stained glass windows in the town's great Cathedral of St. John (which had been damaged by fire and was rebuilt in Bosch's youth). He was married, and a member of the austerely devout lay Brotherhood of Our Lady. Almost the only other biographical fact on record is that he died in 1516.
