The Middle Ages was a time in Europe from the collapse of Roman civilization to the start of the Renaissance. Society was deeply influenced by the Church, and most people lived rural, agricultural lives. The era is famous for knights, castles, and plagues but is so much more than just a collection of quirky legends.
The subreddit r/MedievalHistoryMemes, although silly in form, provides a nuanced picture of the period, highlighting everything from rigid class systems to political intrigues, all while making the peasants and nobles unexpectedly relatable.
