Fooduary Day 23: Lollipop

Sugar on a stick is an unsurprisingly old idea, according to my sources they started to resemble lollipops in Europe in the Middle Ages. I had no idea how I was going to incorporate a lollipop stick into a medieval fashion and THEN I remembered the hennin (the very extra conical headdress). The design came together rather quickly after that.

Review: Jade Torch: The Killing Thought, by Anne Marie Wells, otherwise known as @dragonanne!

First of all, let me just praise Miss Wells' artstyle. It's beautiful, and captures the reader's attention, instantly giving them a greater scope of the characters and their world.

As for the story, Jade Torch presents itself as a medieval fantasy world, and as a huge dragon nerd and admirer of the High Middle Ages, I can tell you that The Killing Thought does not disappoint in it's setting! You have dragons and their riders protecting their large kingdom, a neighboring monarchy with a tainted history, a bloodthirsty nation in the north, and unknown islands far away from the continent, all of which take place while the author plants the seeds for a deeper, magic-filled history that feels organic and richer than the Lonely Mountain of Erebor (Tolkien fans, I apologize for any misspells/offense.)

The plot is superbly written, with the unsavory medieval politics and conniving aristocrats presented within the world in such a way that it instantly feels like cracking open a door to look into the distant past of Western Europe. The characters have various personalities that don't overlap with each other, with the possible exception of two (and given that both these characters took on paternal roles to young future rulers, it's a given that they'd have similar approaches to life. Not to worry, they still retain their unique individuality!) They are also all written competently: the men are allowed to be manly defenders/protectors/rulers, and the women are allowed to kick butt without dragging down their male counterparts, something that greatly pleased me.

The heroes are heroes and the villains are villains, an old style of writing I have dearly missed in modern media. Furthermore, there is only one - ONE - character death on the heroes' side, and while it did break my heart, I instantly realized it was a necessary decision and felt that it was not out of place. And while said character's murderer was not killed, another, equally despicable villain was permanently dispatched, something that literally had me cheering in my seat as I read, so enraptured was I by the story unfolding in my hands. I tell you, that is an uncommon occurrence in my reading experience!

And the ending presents a perfect opening for a second installment, with it's ominous atmosphere and the fragile peace left in the plot's wake gripping the reader's attention with a degree of fear for the heroes. I must say, I simply itch to see what happens next, and the path that awaits the protagonists!

I would be remiss, however, if I did not voice one, albeit small, complaint. The naming conventions in the story, while enjoyable, were a bit odd when it came to a select few others. For example, you have the crown princess, whose name is Lunerata Bridth, and yet her father's given name is Kent. There is only one other "ordinary" name such as Kent in the novel, and while it did not take away my love of the story, it did strike me as odd quite a few times. Regardless, I still reveled in reading the book, and happily give it eleven out of ten stars.

Now enough of my rambling! I gave a simple, relatively spoiler free review of this novel. Now, I task all who read through this post: go out and buy a copy of Jade Torch: The Killing Thought. It's a fun read, and will captivate your mind and imagination for a long time!

Fly high, my fellow readers and dragon riders!

Medieval Music

The word medieval can often conjure up in our minds a time rife with extreme poverty, war and plague. A period with perhaps very few redeeming features. Put aside the Medieval period as occasionally represented by Hollywood, this period of musical history lasting for around 900 years, was rich with invention, discovery and creative insight. In our programme today, Phil and I take a brief look at…

Four lepers at the gate of Samaria, France, 1372, Petrus Comestor's "Bible Historiale" (manuscript "Den Haag, MMW, 10 B 23")

The manuscript depicts the biblical story of 2 Kings 7:3-20 during the aramean siege of the city of Samaria. According to the story, the four lepers bring the news of the enemy's miraculous retreat to the guards at the gates and thus saving the city from starvation

Typical for the time period, the illustrator depicted characters from antiquity and biblical times in contemporary medieval sorroundings and wearing medieval clothing. Thus we can see the four lepers wearing the typical wide cloak and brim hat of the 14th and 15th century as well as the wooden clapper identifying them as leprous.

Everyone with even a passing interest in the historical past, please go watch Tales of the Green Valley, or of Absolute History’s “[historical period] Farm” documentary series on Youtube.

They’re video documentaries about a team of historians and archeologists living and working the day to day lives of the farming/working class in various time periods. It’s based in Britain, but the concepts they demonstrate give a good picture of daily life for most people throughout history.

Timeline of the Middle Ages |

Have you ever been confused about the general order of when things happened in the Middle Ages? In this post, Medieval Collectibles hopes to give you a quick timeline of the span of European history known as the Middle Ages.

What were the Middle Ages?

The Middle Ages were a period of time that spanned from the Fall of the Roman Empire to the beginning of the Renaissance. The exact dates for this differ between historians, but the dates of 476 and 1492 make good start and stop dates. 476 was the Fall of Rome to Odoacer and the end of the last emperor in Rome itself. Meanwhile, 1492 was the start of Christopher Columbus’s voyage to the New World. This date does overlap with some historians’ timeframe for the Renaissance. Together, the two dates span over 1000 years of human history. This covers a lot and is why many historians break down the Middle Ages into different parts.

How are the Middle Ages divided?

A way of dividing the timeline of the Middle Ages is between the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. The Early Middle Ages covers the timeframe from the Fall of Rome to the 10th century. This period covers multiple well-known names and empires. For example, much of the early Arthurian legends place King Arthur at the beginning of this age. In later centuries, there was Charlemagne and the Carolingian Empire alongside the Viking Age. This is also the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire. All of these people and empires began or occurred within the Early Middle Ages.

The 11th century starts the High Middle Ages. They last until the 14th century. At the very start of this period is the Norman Conquest of 1066, and it is filled with the Crusades. This is the era of Richard the Lionheart and, therefore, Robin Hood as well. As this period comes to a close, a volcanic eruption causes significant flooding and bad harvests.

With the Late Middle Ages starting in 1300, Europeans were faced with a lot of strife and death. This is the period that includes the Hundred Years War, the Black Death, and the Wars of the Roses amongst other issues. Famines and revolts were not unknown in this era. This is also the time of the Gutenberg press and the beginning of the Renaissance. Some of the major figures of this era include Joan of Arc, Henry VII, and Ferdinand and Isabella.

Summary

Since the Middle Ages covers 1000 years, a lot happened during this period. From the Vikings to Black Death and more, this period of time saw great changes and upheavals. We hope that you now have a better of idea of the timeline of the Middle Ages.

Charles the kinda person to say he doesn’t care about gossip but will sit with the girls and bitch about other gang members and pretend to not be listening in on conversations just cause he’s curious (he finds out dirt on them and tells Arthur about it later)
