I wish there were medieval fantasy written by people who actually found the medieval period interesting
I don’t mean grittiness I mean like anthropologically. The medieval period was fucking weird and the people who lived through it had fundamentally different perspectives on how the world works than even very religious modern people, reading a medieval fantasy shouldn’t feel like I’m just reading a contemporary person running around with a sword.
You need to be aware you are asking me to write a novel about radical religious groups in the 1600s that defended cows put on trial, about frost resistant turnips, about Charles I getting stuck in a window whilst trying to escape, about people putting their heads in sewers to overcome illness they believed caused by bad smells, and about the Bigod Rising which was so unpopular they only got like 300 rebels and ended up being killed.
You are aware of this, yes?
I would not ask anyone who thinks the 17th century counts as medieval to write a book even loosely inspired by the Middle Ages, no.
Hey y’all want to see a murder
