Excerpt from Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs More: Writing Notes & References

im sooo ready for summer🫩

The fun thing about knightly honour and chivalry is that it was always just recently dead, you know? It was invented as something that had just recently died. That's why all these early knightly romances are set before the actual knightly class even emerged. They were telling the knights contemporary to them: "Look, this is how the knights in this bygone golden age behaved. They would never have hurt a woman or a civilian back in King Arthur's days. They were all honourable and pious back when Charlemagne was on the throne". And the unspoken but fairly obvious part was: "Unlike you disgusting bunch of rapists, looters and murderers". And it was a complete lie, of course, soldiers of all kinds have always been a disgusting bunch of rapists, looters and murderers. But it was a lie a whole bunch of people thought worth telling, because maybe, just maybe, it will shame at least some of these bastards into acting like a human being. And it didn't, I mean, not really, or at least not a lot of them. But then again, we got some bitchin' stories out of it, so I personally think it was worth telling after all.
