I am a lover of all things
medieval.
Uh, let me rephrase that for
those people who tend to take things too literally. There are certain things
about the medieval times that I do NOT like. Plague, rats, high taxes, the
rampant lack of hygiene and the overall negative attitude towards people like
me who didn’t ride or swing swords around (i.e., nerds). Those things sort of
turn me off.
Also the fact that ladies were
considered weak and helpless and et cetera. Not that I’m only saying this
because I’m afraid of getting yelled at by certain people, no. It sucks that
ladies were not respected back then. Just saying.
But other stuff you can’t help loving.
The flashing blades, the sound of the trumpets, the pounding hoof beats of a thousand
horsemen charging down on a host of men in steel. The drawing of a bowstring,
the hum of arrows.
And the weapons of siege.
