The Middle Ages have long ceased to be "dark and gloomy" for us. When you start to immerse yourself in his world, you really want to try on medieval realities. Of course, it's great to avoid the arrows of Saracens and poisoned cups, but to be present at the courts of the first European kings, to hear the pope's call to recapture the Holy Sepulcher, to make sure that the story of Abelard and Eloise is not just a literary plot, but knightly honor and dignity are not empty words, it would be great! In one book it is impossible to tell everything about the Middle Ages, but you will definitely read about several bright episodes. As they say, ad discendum, non ad docendum...
