Medieval Memes for Those Living in the Dark Ages

All things considered, an era like the Middle Ages shows us that we are pretty lucky to be living in the point in history that we do. It is a good thing we are so far away from all that superstitious fanaticism, rampant disease, and tyrannical, all-powerful rulers. We would be in a sorry state if things had not progressed from these backwards and violent times, one thing's for sure.

While this time period had more than its fair share of less savory aspects, there was also a lot about it that remains influential, and if we're being honest, looks cool. All the goofy art that got produced by bored monks is a goldmine, and it is hard not to be seduced by the glamor of all the myths involving gallant knights and dragon slaying. English is spelled in such a weird old way that you practically need a translation dictionary to decode it, but it is also crucially important to the development of literature today. 

All this comes together to inspire a handsome payout of many medieval-themed memes, which can make us feel educated by kind of adding a history lesson into our daily dose of internet humor. Go forth and enjoy.
