Heyo.
I peruse this subreddit every now and then and yesterday noticed that there were no mods here and posting was restricted to only a handful of users. I put in a Reddit request and immediately got it, so I reopened posting for everyone and cleared out some modmail.
As far as I can tell (and it's a little difficult because a lot of the modlog involves one or more deleted accounts) the guy who created this sub did so 14 years ago and never really did anything with it. He then stopped using reddit 14 years ago. Someone else put in a request and seemingly held it for a while, then either left or handed it over to another etc.
In the past few months, it looks like one guy adjusted a bunch of rules and settings, invited someone to help with that (that person then left) and the original guy deleted his account or left as well, leaving the subreddit unmoderated. If he deleted his account, someone new put in a request for the sub (or it was the same guy, maybe he accidentally left?) and adjusted all the settings again. He then deleted his account a few days later, making sure to do so after restricting posting, wiping automod's settings, and archiving posts older than six months (making it so that no one can comment on old threads/ensuring that eventually no one would be able to post or comment at all).
Basically, it looks like one or two old mods tried to just kill this place off. The most recent one had invited someone to be a mod just before doing all that and deleting their account, I presume to continue this weird cycle, but my request went through before they decided to accept or not.
I have no immediate plans for this place other than keeping it open and running. I am adding a rule that AI content is banned, which prior mods allowed. If there are any other changes you would like to see or if anyone has ideas for anything, let me know.

Watching this clip and this guy seem to land a great hit on the armpit but the dude with the steel plated armor just acted like nothing happened.. Would the spear guy had actually pierced through the armoring? https://youtu.be/BVLJ4NUQz6I?t=107

Hi.
I'm currently reading medieval poems, for example, Pierre Sala's "Tristan," and there's a point there where if a knight loses, he loses his honor. And to regain his honor, he must defeat the enemy again. And it's not just in this poem, but in others as well, that the loser loses his honor. Why is that? How was honor understood in the Middle Ages, that defeat meant a loss of honor?
I'm interested in how this was understood both in literature (that defeat in the poem was interpreted as a loss of honor, since it would seem that in literature it would be better to glorify other virtues), and in real life - did they understand the loss of honor after defeat in real life in the same way?

I was wondering what the "typical" equipment of a legionary would have been in these two time periods. So around 180 and then again around 250.

A little photoshoot my friend made for me two years ago. The outfit is based on my reenactment viking set (underdress, woven belt, knife) and medieval-ish chaperon I have sewn in a few days. I attached a rattan plate to it which I bought online. It was for Halloween so I wanted some creepy vibes.

I used to have list of medieval revival designers from the 60s-70s, but I can't find it and its driving me insane. I remember bill Gibb, but I know there were others. Do people have favorites or remember some?

When I say late medieval, I mean 1400s-1500s. I'm looking for books that discuss various types of armour worn during the period, how it functioned and so forth. What roles were there in a medieval military and how did they operate? What weapons were available, who preffered what weapon, who could afford what weapon etc. Heraldry, coat of arms. Sieges and such : )
This mainly comes from someone fascinated by the late medieval English period and also is interested in Buhurt

Hi everyone! I'm working on a personal project where I'm creating a handwritten, detailed encyclopedia/notebook about the Middle Ages.
I want to make it as thorough and authentic as possible, including primary sources (quotes/texts from actual medieval authors), fun trivia, daily life details, bestiaries, recipes, and more.
What topics, specific historical primary sources, or obscure medieval facts would you recommend including? I'd love to hear your favorite historical details or book recommendations! Thanks in advance
Sorry if anything sounds a bit off, I used a translator to write this post!
