Wherever the king had to go, it did not care to be apart from him; it always went along with him. He could see well that it loved him.

On the king’s own bed he found the knight sleeping. The king ran to embrace him; more than a hundred times he hugs and kisses him.

some Bisclavret for you in the style of the Codex Manesse :)

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.

I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.

Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.

And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!

Is that not just the coolest shit ever????
