∙ 12y agoDuring the Early Middle Ages, the understanding of geography was derived from what it had been in ancient times. Of course, for most purposes, this understanding was mostly academic, and the average person knew very little about the subject because few people travelled.
Increased trade, which began in earnest during the High Middle Ages, improved the European understanding of the East, including countries as distant as China and India. Pilgrimages and crusades also made the understanding of geography more generally spread among the people.
Interestingly, certain medieval maps of the Late Middle Ages were not only much better than the maps used by the ancient Romans, they were even better than the maps of such legendary mapmakers as Mercator in the precision of placement by longitude, which is a bit of a mystery.

Why did people in the middle ages use goose and swan quills?
Writing with a quill is relatively difficult - a reed pen, as used by egyptians can be quite stiff and difficult to use, particularly for fine detailed marks. A feather quill, in contrast, is much thinner, and more flexiable, making it easier to shape and more suited to writing large amounts of text with. In the criteria of flexaibility and ease of use, goose and swan feather quills remained un-beaten until the development of sprung steel pen nibs in the late 19th century.
How did people train for war in the middle ages?
There wasn't much of an organization. Two armies lined up looking at each other and when someone gave the signal they ran at each other. Sometimes there were archers who fired volleys of arrows into the opposing army ranks to kill some of them before the massive attack. After the foot soldiers attacked the armed knights would move in and add to the battle. The army that outlasted the other one won.

What is the origin of the word character?
Character comes to middle English (caracter) from middle French (caractare). It is earlier found in Latin (character) which it entered via two distinct Greek routes. Route 1 is kharacter (type, nature, character). Route 2 is Kharasso ("I engrave"). I find this a fascinating word, full of complexity. It has the meanings from route 2 of a shape, a letter, a mark, and then the set from route 1, describing the nature or type of thing. I found most interesting a discussion on character as equivalent to reputation. The key difference was that character was internal, generated from and by the self, while reputation was external, a description applied by others from observation. In order to accurately say the origin of "character", then, it is critical that we understand the way the word is being used. In writing about the character of a person, we'll use characters. This could mean that we'd use a series of people to speak about the person, or that we'd use a series of marks to create words to be read.
