What's really annoying you with Pre-1900 misconsception and clichés in Alternate History?
-Neanderthal was exterminated by Cro-Magnon
No proofs, no clues, only this old song about "human nature". Probably the most irritating one.
-Davidic Kingdom of Israel last much longer and bigger
Please tell me that, somewhere, is a school system that doesn't teach about the kingdom of Israel as something having really existed as on the Bible; or kill me now.
-Roman Empire could have surely perudred up to ours days without germanic invasions.
1)How do you spell "Absoulte Monarchy tempered by Militaristic Anarchy" in latin?
2)Limited and weak economic base, fiscal system totally fucked, colon status quite blurry...Yeah, pretty much a good base for a bi-millenium of existance more.
3)What is this purple thing around Greece and Turkey on my medieval maps?
Battle of Tours was the turning point of islamics invasions in Europe
Really? A battle (during a raid as the ones that ravaged southern Gaul between 720 and 740) so unimportant that arabo-islamic scholars didn't even notice it?Now, it's excusable. Charles Martel & sons were pretty good at propaganda, and they managed to make the Battle of Toulouse (721) forgotten : basically a real invasion in order to take cities and lands.But, even considering that, i'm quite sure that the multi-sieges of Constantinople were fare more important.
Dark Ages were..well dark, duh.
Carolingian culture and scholarship want to talk to you in private.
Medieval knights couldn't move without machines, the armours were to heavy.
1)You're a lucky and rich bastard if you could afford yourself a complete armour. They were expansives, and the most of time, knights have only part of them, as a kit.
2)The complete ones were for these rich and lucky bastards, and they wanted good stuff, aka an armour making no more than 40kg.
3)Some tournaments armour were indeed heavy, quite stupid at looking, and not really usable in a non-conventioned fight. But it's not warfare here.
