Me hace mucha "gracia" cuando los protaurinos dicen que hay que defender los toros porque Goya pintó cuadros de toros. Gracia porque acto seguido pienso en las pinturas negras, en "los desastres de la guerra" o en un cuadro en el que unos aldeanos estšn apostando para que el tonto del pueblo se folle a un caballo (sí, eso existe y estš en el Prado) y pienso ¿realmente quieren usar ese argumento?
Edito: me ha costado encontrarlo, pero aquí estš el cuadro.

La era o El Verano - Colección
El verano, escena dedicada a la diosa Ceres en las interpretaciones tradicionales de las Cuatro Estaciones, se representa aquí ante la imponente mole de un castillo medieval como el descanso de los segadores en el campo, después de la cosecha del trigo, reunido ya en gavillas.

#ScribesAndMakers 8/22: "Fantasy stories are frequently inspired by medieval societies. Why do you think people are fascinated by that time period?"
Elite propaganda.
Medieval knights were a bloodthirsty elite. Armour allowed them to cut down commoners with relative impunity, and they did. The myth of the 'parfait gentil knicht' is entirely propaganda.

Two books from my research shelf: 'The History of the English Longbow' by Donald Featherstone, and 'The Use of Medieval Weaponry' by Eric Lowe. Both of these I'd recommend.

My own home-made longbow, with its quiver and arrows, and my practice longsword.

The Bayeux Tapestry has arrived in Britain for the first time in nearly 1,000 years following a secret journey from France.
The priceless 70-metre-long medieval artwork depicting the Norman conquest of England

Crafted from wool thread stitched onto linen, the tapestry accurately depicts the intertwined – sometimes bloody – histories of Britain and France, and is symboli…

Context: I recently spent 2.5 weeks in China visiting universities, research institutes, clinical sites, companies of all sizes, and investors. Most meetings focused on biotech, neurotech, and AI. Conventional wisdom my trip corroborated US cities feel medieval compared to Chinese cities. I was expecting the cleaner, safer, greener cities with better trains, EVs, consumer electronics, etc. But I was surprised that Chinese cities didn’t feel bleak. I thought that would be the required tradeoff…

The cover of the "Neiman-Marcus Christmas Book 1982" featuring cartoon art by DePaola of a line of people in medieval costumes and domino masks. The night sky above is filled with five-pointed stars and a line of angels with their backs turned.

My teenage son has been taking classes to learn how to fight... medieval style. He's been attending classes at a local #HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) Academy. Its pretty cool and so much more involved than the LARPing I was doing as a kid.
And maybe its just our local club, but most the kids are visually queer. Lots of rainbows, pronouns, even a furry. While its great to see these kids find a safe place, its also good to know that the next generation can defend us from the barbarian horde (aka MAGA).
Anyone else here into historically accurate fighting?
