The madman Hal Curtmantle
I want to go back to that time so bad, anons. The world was so much more magical back then. Beautiful castles. Very neat, strong, orderly hierarchical structure in society. Tales of witches and strange creatures and elves in the forests. Everyone is religious and goes to church. Lots of holidays celebrated as a community. Traditional culture. Knights going on quests and adventures. Monks in monasteries. Nobility.
Now everything is trash.
(You)
Don't you agree? Modernism has killed the magic and charm of the world. The so-called """Enlightenment""" was a terrible mistake and the Free Masons were behind it.
Hi Ignatius
He was based. Normalgays call him autistic but that is what they always call brilliant, visionary men.
That world never faded, no amount of modernity and machinery can ever tear the inherent strangeness and wonder from it, you've merely been blinded to it by the predominant modes of thinking.
We should actually be taking more aesthetic influence from the Middle Ages though.
>he thinks the past was some kind of fantasy world where you'd go on an adventure
you'd never leave your shithole village and die of some horrible disease
gays on reddit might fall for your modernist propaganda but I know better. I bet you also say that the Middle Ages were "the dark ages".
it must be nice to be this delusional actually I bet you have a great imagination
Just because you will always be a failure regardless of the time period doesnt mean we all will. homosexual.
you’re on an anime image board “discussing” history. we’re all failures here, don’t kid yourself.
>he thinks the past was some kind of low-fantasy world where everyone is edgy and dies all the time
>The average life expectancy for a male child born in the UK between 1276 and 1300 was 31.3 years.
He's being realistic.
That's because infant mortality was higher, as was always the case in the natural world before the industrial revolution. People besides the infant mortalities had normal lifespans.
Due to the industrial revolution, bad genes are not removed by nature now which is why society has been overrun with morons and bugmen and homosexuals like you.
a common pleb like you would've lived about 50-60 years at best, as did many among the royalty
I am not a pleb. I am an aristocrat.
Kind of a meme because child deaths in child-births dragged down the avaerage. Mothers and Children dided all the time before modern medicine started interviening there.
If you made it past your 20s, then expecting to live to your 60s was not an unreasonible thought.
tl;dr: Life expectency was noticibly lower but not as low as you think
It wasn't even child birth deaths but rather to 18. You had roughly 50% odds of dying before reaching 18 due to diseases and the like given how weaker children's immune systems are and how much they have to develop over time. That 50% isn't the coin flip of you die or live, it's that if you have 10 children in your hamlet 5 of them are going to die before they reach 18.
What's important to remember about the past is:
1) It was not always the grimdark miserable shitshow that modern perceptions of the pre-modern past hold it to be
2) When things got bad they got apocalyptically bad, to the point that nobody born after 1945 likely has any ability to comprehend just how bad they got. You'd need to have experienced WW2 in Eastern Europe, the Holdomor or been in Serbia during ww1 or China during the wars with Japan or seen the famines in India to have an idea of how bad things would get when things went pearshaped in the past.
3) People underestimate how terrible pre-modern surgery/medicine was. I remember seeing a jackass here who went "In my 30 years of living I never needed to see a doctor so what the frick has modern medicine done for me? Frick it I'd be gucci in the past" as if expecting his clean, idyllic, well nutritioned lifestyle today would be replicated then. Yes, we know peasants food was in some ways better than ours in times of plenty. Times weren't always plenty.
you know englishmen, at least, DID leave their villages all the time, right? One of the perils of modern, steady employment is that you're expected to be steadily employed. If a free man wanted to frick off and walk across england with a staff, or sword and buckler, he could.
Modernism is slavery.
why can't you do that now? aside from the sword and buckler part
If you're not wealthy? Lose your home and then have to explain the gap in your employment history when you try to find another job. Hope your credit score or equivalent isn't so fricked you end up unable to get any but the shittiest apartment- and then try to explain to your prospective landlord why you got evicted or broke your last lease.
would you not lose your home by fricking off to wander the country in medieval times? wouldn't your job prospects also be uncertain as well?
It would seem the answer is: No. Not if you're doing this at a time of year without a ton of work to be done, since you're probably a farmer, and you're likely not paying monthly rent, just taxes. Plus, the canterbury tales make it clear that people did in fact travel, at least on pilgrimage, with some complaints that a lot of "pilgrims" were essentially tourists.
If you're some dirt poor villein you're fricked, but freemen had options. They came with risks, obviously frick off too long and your farm suffers, fail to unfrick it and you may starve or be impoverished.
Why does the system have to ruin everything? Why did anyone think this was a good idea?
It's better than famine and endemic warfare. There are a few things that are worse about modern life, but the people who look at the past as better for the common man are wearing unbelievably thick rose tinted glasses.
No, we have simply taken off the NPC "modernism is best" propaganda glasses.
If you want the real medeival experience, there's very little stopping you from underrating for a few days a year and dying in a knife fight over dice. Black folk do it all the time.
homosexuals on the hypernet in the 23rd century will be like "no bro you wouldn't want to live in the 21st century you'd definitely just be a homeless opiate addict who would die in your 20s"
>dies from smallpox
Based and medievalist pilled
stop watching Disney cartoons manchild
If you can actually read about medieval history without being awed by the adventure of it and the sense that anything can happen you have no soul.
This but unironically
It was Europe at its peak. It was glorious.
Alfred the great beat the Vikings so hard into rebuilding the Anglo Saxon kingdom, and made the Dane king Christian.
The viking kings who would attack undefended monasteries and villagers
Anglos STILL seething.
Yeah, pretty based.
based
Please post aesthetic medieval images and architecture.
In Poland the most based rulers were:
Boleslaw the Wry-Mouthed - he gained the nickname because he told his brother that he would not kill him if he returned to the country (which of course eventually he did)
Leszek the White - allegedly he said ,,In the Holy Land there is no beer, therefore it is impossible to live there''. He died completly naked while being pursued by rebels who surprised him in a ,,sauna''
Boleslaw the Brave/Generous - when he learned that the wives of his knights weren't behaving very well while their husbands were away he ordered to swap their babies with dogs' babies. Also, he personally dismembered a bishop.
Phillip II Augustus
my man
sweyn forkbeard for putting genocidal anglos in their place
This, the chudglos deserved it.
Edward Longshanks, Hammer of the Scots, Expeller of israelites.
Only because he unified the Franks

The last monarch (or Bishop or whatever) of Toledo who just ran away at the most crucial moment. Not Roderic. The other one.
Phillipe le bel 4 , french king and pope Clement 4 acted together. Firstly they imprisoned JBM and then theyt burned a Big Grand Master Templar Jacques Bourguignon Molay (he was considered as a Prophet for them) because he was commiting sins and gaining power "they told".
After that ,all the freemasons vowed on their souls to take revenge on the church and the king.
They are still are mad even today they cannot forget that , thats also why its called Black Friday cuz JBM was burned on a Friday.
Based. All freemasons should hang.

If only he'd lived a little longer
He was crowned Imperator Scottorum or “Emperor of the Scots” in 1005 and Queen Elizabeth is a direct descendant.
