i checked both spanish and Portuguese and theres not much difference, unfortunately doesn't really narrow it down

So scrolling through pinterest, I'm wondering.. All the KoH fans I need help finding this film

i think baldwins mask may have been inspired by a few things, my two guesses are ancient sumerian sculptures, and greek/roman sculptures, the shape of his mask reminds me particularly of the lifelikeness of greek/roman sculptures, but something about it also seems ancient sumerian as well, like the eye hole shape and brow ridge

"Let it be known to all, both future and present, that I, Baldwin, by the grace of God, in the city of Jerusalem, holy to the Latins, give or grant to you Joscelinus, my uncle, my seneschal, or to your heirs; count, a thousand byzanci to the chain of Accon, to receive annually the customary boundaries of the chain, and to possess a certain cottage, called Jescu, situated in the mountains of Accon, with all its appurtenances, by right of inheritance, except that Alemanding the same Jesse and half of his appurtenances as a dowry, but all after his the teaching shall return to your heirs.

Now I have given you the following omaia in exchange for Maron, which I had previously given to you with all its appurtenances or cottages, on the condition that for all these you shall do the same service to me as my heirs and your heirs, which you were obliged to do for Maron before, with the exception of the assizes, which are in the tower of Maroni.

(thank you!)

i really appreciate all the likes and followers ive been getting recently for my weird lil memes and occasional art posts, thank you!

(feel free to ask anything about me as well or about things im interested in if youd like!)

tfw you see some stupid post that paints medieval peasants eating just plain grey porridge and acting as if cheese, butter or meat was too exotic or expensive for them, and have to use all your inner strength to not just reblog it with an angry rant and throwing hands with people. so i will just post the angry rant here

no, medieval people did not only eat grey porridge with no herbs or spices, they had a great variety of vegetables we dont even have anymore, grains and dairy products, not to mention fruits and meats, all seasonal and changing with the time of the year. no, medieval food was not just tasteless, maybe this will surprise some of you but you can make tasty food without excessive spice use, and can use a variety of good tasting herbs. if you'd ever tried to cook some medieval recipes you would know that. medieval people needed a lot of energy for their work, if they would only eat fucking porridge all of the time they would get scurvy and die before they could even built a civilisation. they had something called 'pottage' which was called that because it was cooked in one pot. you could leave the pot on the fire and go about your day, doing stuff and come back to a cooked meal. they put in what was available that time of the year, together with grains, peas, herbs, meat etc etc. again, if you would try to make it, like i have with my reenactment friends, it can actually be really good and diverse.

dont confuse medieval peasants with poor people in victorian england. dont think that TV shows what it was really like. dont think that dirty grey dressed people covered in filth were how the people looked like.

they made use of everything. too poor to buy proper meat? buy a sheeps head and cook it. they ate nettle and other plants we consider weeds now. they foraged and made use of what they found. hell, there are medieval cook books!

most rural people had animals, they had chickens (eggs), goats (milk and dairy), cows (milk and dairy), sheep (milk and dairy) and pigs (meat machine), and after butchering they used ALL THE PARTS of the animal. you know how much meat you can get out of a pig, even the smaller medieval breeds? the answer is a lot

if you had the space you always had a vegetable garden. there are ways to make sure you have something growing there every time of the year. as i said they had a variety of vegetables we dont have anymore due to how farming evolved. you smoked pork in the chimney, stored apples in the dry places in your house, had a grain chest. people could go to the market to buy fish and meat, both fresh and dried/smoked. they had ale, beer and wine, that was not a luxury that was a staple part of their diet.

this post ended once again up being longer than i planned, but please for the love of the gods, just actually educate yourself on this stuff and dont just say stupid wrong shit, takk
