Thanks. :) Yeah, medieval history is interesting because it features so often in pop culture, so I suppose a slew of misconceptions are inevitable. Then again, historians and medievalists themselves are often forced to draw from very shaky sources and sometimes their interpretations are treated as fact. Studying it at a higher level, I realize that there's so much we don't know, and a lot of what we have is biased or easy to take out of context. But still, I'm constantly excited about what I'm learning, it's practically my newest fandom.
