They’ve Been Hiding The Truth For So Long!

I have always skipped the middle-ages in my research. I had been taught that they were “the dark ages” and that nothing of interest happened in them. My school-indoctrinated mind thought of these times as royals vs. peasants, the plague, templars, the inquisition going after witches, pirates and sailors discovering new land, etc. There didn’t seem to be much data on what happened between the year 800 and 1500. Once I let go of my preconceptions and beliefs about these times, a whole new world opened up. I learned that this time period was so much stranger than we were led to believe.
