If I'm not mistaken, a turtledove badge was found recently in Poland during a renovation of an old medieval site from the 15th century which it too had the inscription "Love conquers all" (in Latin of course) on it.
Absolutely fascinating! The only thing was a couple of inacurracies. Coloured cloth was for everyone not just the rich, medieval people loved everything colouful and many dyes were available even to peasents. Salt was not very rare, spices however could be and worth a lot of money depending on the spice. You would keep your pinkie finger clean and raised as you ate and use it to dip into the containers of seasoning to then season your own food to your liking. Salt would be presented in these rich ornamental receptacles at the dining tables as a show of wealth and virtue signalling by showing your reverence to the purity of salt.
Napoleon was the first to steal the Ghent Altarpiece. He had it in his possession until 1815. Napoleon had his Jeweller copy the tiara worn by the figure of Christ in the Altarpiece and presented this replica to Pope Pius in 1805.
putting a BELT on the bride is NOT sentimental but a symbol of OWNERSHIP and if she broke her bond sexually she was given the CHASTITY BELT to keep her 'true' while the husband was away fighting the crusades. only HE had the key to her body
More lavish than an Indian wedding please! So much nonsense do you appreciate india was the only source of dia mind before South Africa or the sheer wealth of the Mughal empire? Where did you study your history hahaha
Scholars date the Middle Ages as starting at 476 AD and end them between 1400 and 1450. To title this talk "Jewels of the Middle Ages" and base the discussion on what is considered a Renaissance painting (from 1432) is totally misleading. Add to that the endless "pre-talk", the omission of the preceding 1000 years, and the obnoxious female presenter, this video completely dashes any hopes of learning about jewelry from the "Middle Ages".
You guys' passion about medieval jewelry and jewelcraft is infectious. Thank you Inezita and Paul!
This is such an inspiration for my high school jewelry classes. Thank you.

So much misinformation in this video
All they did was pillage from the Indigenous people. It's actually quite repulsive how they praise them in this video.
Please elaborate for someone that might have missed it. You don't need ti tell me all of it if there is a lot just a few things.
Yeah ,please enlighten us ,tell us EXACTLY what the misinformations are
