Hard to believe we're already halfway through the year, but its time for the June awards!

For this month, the 'Flair Choice' pick goes to /u/611131, who provided an answer to "Gonzalo Guerrero was shipwrecked and then captured by the Maya in 1511; when found by other Spaniards about 20 years late, he had been made a warlord and refused to return to Spain. Why would the Maya make a low-born European sailor a warlord?".

Taking the 'User Choice' for the month, /u/jellolegos responded to "How much contact did medieval Europe have with Iceland?"

No 'Dark Horse' award this month with a non-flair taking a top prize outright.

For this month's 'Greatest Question', voted on by the mods, the most interest fell upon "I am an Athenian-born slave in classical Greece. Am I worshipping the same gods as my master? Are there any gods better for slaves to worship?", asked by /u/snoee.

Finally, the Excellence in Flairdom Award for June goes to /u/anthropology_nerd! A long time contributor to the subreddit and the community, Anthro has been a particular standout of recent, both in her invaluable assistance on our Monday Methods, and other questions regarding recent revelations about residential school graves in Canada, as well as her work behind the scenes as part of the AskHistorians flaired community. Thank you /u/anthropology_nerd!
