30 Knight Memes for Medieval Lads and Lasses
I wish we had more insight into what people actually looked like during the Medieval era. I love the medieval films of Roger Cormac as much as anybody ( (I wish I could live in the set of The Masque of the Red Death ), but unfortunately, 1960s movies probably do not represent the Dark Ages …

It’s easy to look back at the medieval period with gratitude that you’re not living in it. Who wants to spend their days doing menial farm work while munching on stone soup to survive? Why would you want to live in a time where one disease killed ⅓ of the entire population of Europe? Medieval …

Ancient History Memes For Bronze Age Fans Who Could Take or Leave Silver or Gold
I wish I knew more about world history, but alas, I went to an American public high school. One of the biggest issues with schools in America is that they teach American history nearly every year, leaving crumbs for kids who want to learn about the history of the world and world geography. I know …
