Kingdoms, kings and queens. Nobles, peasants. Houses, surroundings. Crafts, markets, smithy, workshops.

ā€œWhat fascinates you in the Middle Ages?ā€

Better question is what doesn’t fascinate you. For me it’s the fact that the era was more advanced than people give it credit for. Medieval Europe was not a barbaric hellhole as is commonly portrayed.

What fascinates me ? compared to are world now and my opinions about

Well…

Happiness!

You mean Danse Macabre and everything? :wink:

The obvious romantic views on it aside I think one of the things that draw me to the medieval world is that it was, in some ways, a whole lot simpler than today. I find the idea of life as a farmer in a rural village to be very appealing, spending your days with honest work to feed yourself and the community you are part of, in a way very different to today. Though I’m quite aware of the many comforts and freedoms we have that wouldn’t apply to them.

Living my modern life I’ve been struggling with school for years and now struggling even more to find a job after finishing that, unable to get anywhere.

But hey, we get video games, so thats cool.

Where do you live, what did you study?

Your story kind of sounds like modern version of a medieval farmer trying to grow rise on an arid field.

The clothes and armors… especially Kilt and Sporran.
I love Scotland and hate Eduard I, Edward Longshanks :smile:
Throne orders (the I, II, III, IV, V, etc.)
nobility families and his banners (or family crests?)
Construction methods of houses (I’m qualified carpenter too)
How the people life (food, healthy, social life between people)
Daughters of Kings^^ :smile: or the female citizens :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

There are so many things that fascinate me! dream

Sweden, did the general studies, not sure what to call it in english. :stuck_out_tongue: Nothing specialized. No luck whatsoever since I graduated, same story for most people I know (unless they had family contacts).

Or boss lives right next door :slight_smile:

I have no idea what ā€œgeneral studiesā€ means, but wish you best of luck with finding a job, whatever your skill and training was aimed at.
