Kronos' Barons have a broad knowledge of a given century, equivalent to having read the newspapers - which is a bit of a problem for centuries before the invention of the newspaper.

However, currently reading a biography on Columbus' son, who created the equivalent for the 15thC by collecting the broadsheets that were pasted on the walls of major cities of the time, and binding them into books - and these collections are referred to as being the equivalent of newspapers.

So you can add flavour to a Baron specializing in this century by having him refer to an event by referring to these broadsheets - which can be anything from Luther's theses to advertisements to doggerel insulting the local bigwigs.
