    Just wanted to say I listened to the audio book version of Shad's book and was very impressed not just by the writing, but the narration. I really enjoyed it, and of course it's not perfect (no book is), but I found it very enjoyable. I especially enjoy how he doesn't push female characters to the side and fleshes them out. In fantasy books such as Lord of the Rings, female characters often don't get much "screen time". I look forward to future books and where his writing takes him.

      I believe I bought the physical copies of Shad's books. I'm super excited! Hopefully I'll get them in the mail soon.
      I also love Tolkien's works of course, and even though Jackson's awesome films gave more screen time to the women, the trilogy he directed also certainly made Arwen less mature and made Faramir seem like a huge jerk.

    Belmonte
    Segovia
    Coca
    Calatrava la Nueva
    Almodóvar del Río
    La Mota
    Oropesa
    Santa Catalina
    Alhambra
    There are more, but I think the list is already long enough.
    There's also Turégano, which is a castle built around a church.

    • @robo5013
      @robo5013 Год назад +2

      I don't understand how so many people in this comment section can't understand that all people of European ancestry have a connection to the middle ages, both in Australia and the U.S. History didn't happen in a vacuum. Everything that happened impacted the events that came after. Medieval Europe is when the powerful monarchies came into being allowing for the later wealth and resources that enabled them to colonize the two continents as well as the rest of the world. The colonial era is a time in history that still directly impacts the world today, most notably in race relations between people in their own countries much less international relations. All history is connected to the present, if someone hadn't invented the pottery wheel over ten thousand years ago we wouldn't have computers to watch YT videos on.

    My home town of Penetanguishene does a navy re-enactment, or used to. Loved going to see the historical showcases, stands and people role playing.

    hey can you do a medieval misconceptions video on medieval weddings, mostly because in my fantasy story the second book has to weddings, one is an arranged married between the main villain and a minor side character, and the second was between the main character and her love interest, and I am wondering if I got anything wrong, the first one probably has a lot of accuracies, but I'm not sure about the second.
    it's also because of seeing Medieval weddings in fantasy films and books

    On the floor under the round table is keith (kryal) ryall's coat of arms.
    There is a victorian viking festival in the pipeline atm, believe it will be on the Geelong foreshore area.
    There's also a new (2nd) Fantasy medieval festival in Mt Gambier SA 15/16 April 2023

    That festival looks awsome, I really wish we could have summer soon so I can go to some festivals as well. When I do I'll try to share the experience in my channel (recently started and hibernates over the winter).
    Thanks for bringing me such warm feelings.

    What an awesome event! So great to see such a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm all in one place, and also so cool to see the owner of Manning Imperial fighting in the duels!
