In medieval times, left-handed people were often associated with evil due to the cultural and religious symbolism surrounding the right side. The right hand was traditionally seen as the sign of goodness, favor, and virtue, while the left hand was linked to malevolence and the devil, as evidenced by phrases like "sinister," which derives from the Latin word for left. This stigma led to left-handed individuals facing discrimination and persecution, reinforcing the belief that being left-handed was inherently linked to evil or bad luck.
