      it's not so much cute as it is typical medieval shit where nobles treat each other with humanity while killing and enslaving the proletariat.

    If I say god doesn't exist and a prince wakes up from his nap, does that make the monk atheist? I don't really understand the rules of this debate

      Old religious debates were usually dry as rightwing jokes but sometimes they made up the rules as they go and everything ended with them literally trying to bash the other dude skull with a bible.

      Most famous occurence was allegedly when St Nicholas (yet, that Saint Nicholas a.k.a. Santa Claus) thrashed the bishop Arius face during First Council of Nikea.

        I understand the bashing of skulls or faces, it's a lot more logical than whatever the discussion in the image is, never listen to royalty

    Saladin was a shrewd dude.

    The Crusades have some wild stories like the time a dude tried to crossbow his own father when the enemy tried to trot him out as a hostage to force an end to a siege.

    When Medieval people went buckwild they committed to it.
