On one hand it makes sense that medieval european social relations imply, well, medieval european social relations and it makes sense to use your novel (or your show) to examine those.
On the other I can relate to many people wanting to see women in medieval fantasy to be represented in some other way than constant misery porn.
Wait so you're telling me that human history isn't some slow, steady march of things progressively getting better for everyone but especially women? :confusion:
"no" :hegel:

It's always fun to remember that in some parts of early medieval northern europe women controlled the farm and the money because men were thought to be bad at math.
