Thomas Antonius or Tom (born 1983, The Netherlands) is a Dutch Wikipedian. I first studied history at Leiden University and attained my Master's degree in Medieval History in 2007. In 2007 I started on a Master's in Editing at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. I also work as an editor for Leidschrift, a historical magazine. My history thesis concentrated on Charles V's ambassadors to England in the 1520s. Currently I'm working on an article about an embassy from Margarete of Austria to Henry VIII.
