Why are Medieval Times so popular in books and movies and games and etc?

Answer 1

Because when we think back on that time all we think about is the fantasy of it. Knights in armour, queens and kings, high courts, and the glory of war. It is fun to read, to dress up in the things we think they wore, and to think of living in a castle as royal people. We have forgotten how awful it really was, that people died of simple things, and that it was just a stinky time. But, this happens because people only remember the good things and forget the bad. A good example of that is much more recent and closer to home. I see the clothing and music of the 1960's all around me today. I remember the 60's and it wasn't all peace and love. It sometimes felt like the whole world was on fire with riots in the cities and the war in Viet Nam. Not very groovy, man. So, time ticks on and each generation thinks the last was so much better and had much more fun, but in reality all of us past and present are just "trucking along" trying to make the best of it. Peace out.
