So my point is not that your source is wrong.*

And this is something that is already more than proven and accepted among history professors and medievalists. And it's something that the links and books I've provided have addressed.

So my point is that your source is wrong. My point is that a single source isn't valid for analyzing 1,000 years of history, because even authors contemporary to the events have biases. And authors from the 16th century onward have picked the sources that suited their narratives.

Natalie Zemon Davis's book "The Return of Martin Guerre" is an analysis of medieval court records in France.
You can read "The Sunday of Bouvines," which analyzes what War and Peace were like, as well as soldierly life in the 12th century, through contemporary documents and records, and archaeology.

First: Can you cite your source?

Second: My sources aren't from 100 years later. They're recent research based on archaeology and sources contemporary to the events. In fact, *The Cheese and the Worms* is an analysis of the diary of a real medieval miller.

Yes, I have done it, the kids (well they are 14/15yo) loved it, although some of their works...but it was certainly fun. This is called "Friday night of the rabbits.

You can't just rely on a book review, because, for example, Petrarch was one of the first to speak ill of the Middle Ages, but that's because he idealized Classical Antiquity and also wanted to portray himself as a great reviver of that tradition. It's important to understand historiography.

But I understand that they might be a bit dense for the casual reader. So you can also read:

Among the more classic authors are Natalie Zemon Davies, Georges Duby, or Carlo Ginzburg; the latter's book, *The Cheese and the Worms*, is easy to read and although it deals with the 16th century, many features of that time are medieval, since it is not an instantaneous process.

This is just one example. But there are many authors who have explored the Middle Ages, or even the early modern period, which retains many medieval characteristics, and who present a very different perspective.

The twelfth century, and even earlier, as early as the 10th century, featured the advent of Gothic architecture, universities, and a revival of classical science.

Despite the loss of Egypt and North Africa, the agricultural output of the Byzantine Empire increased with the growth of animal husbandry. The heavy plow was introduced in the 10 century with a colter to break up thick soils, this plow dramatically increased the range of farming in northern Europe.

Did the ‘Dark Ages’ really set human progress back by a thousand years? Let's look at agricultural production: Beginning around 800, land was divided into strips for ease of plowing and a three-field system was introduced. This represented a decisive advance compared to classical agriculture.

Here we go again. These days most historians no longer use the term “Dark Ages” to describe the Early Middle Ages (roughly AD500- AD1500).

This game broke me, shattered me, yet gave me the strength to finally accept myself. It's truly a game I recommend playing once in your life, especially in these times when trans people are the scapegoats for all the world's problems. Terrifying but beautiful.
