“it is widely accepted by scholars everywhere that the twelfth century was not a whole lot of fun. Why exactly it wasn’t fun is a matter of debate. Perhaps it was the climate, which, it must be admitted, was a lot cooler than it is now. h may have also been the instability brought down by the fall of the Roman Empine, which undoubtedly caused a certain degree of poliical tumoil Mostly though, it seems to have been the povety, disease, famine, repression and general misery that contributed to the general inability to find anything cool to do on the weekends.”
