How do you ensure that you stay in period? I mean shit, I am forever trying to come up with crazy contraptions to allow people to do this, or that, or something else, and then I have to pull myself back and figure out a way that people in the pre-industrial era would have solved a problem. Mostly via magic, in my world any damn ways!
So, any ideas?
On to the Inquisition. That's a truly awesome idea right there. Especially since the RCC had not yet totally gone gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), and lots of bishops and so on and so forth were fucking everything in sight.

Inspiring thread, I now want to write a story within medieval times, one snag however is that my knowledge of this period isn't what it could be, so my story, if it is written, will likely be riddled with historical inaccuracies or indeed a complete lack of historical information full stop, perhaps I'd use some fictional settings but still very much in the whole spirit of the time (Or what I assume is the general demeanor of the age).
For example I'm tempted to write one regarding a very powerful general who takes his army throughout Britain, battling various armies and laying siege to various castles... After these festivities he and his bodyguards have their way with the womenfolk of the vanquished enemy. Alternatively, perhaps it'd involve a returning army of defenders bathed in glory and treated to all the delights contained within their castle on return, maybe the wives/daughters of the slain throw themselves at other, very much alive noblemen in a bid to maintain their high standing or something.
Another idea would be a disgraced soldier turned mercenary strolling from tavern to tavern looking for employment, but having such a comical reputation he just gets mocked, even by the barmaids. Too cowardly to battle real men, he takes out his frustration on insolent barmaids by giving them a damn good seeing to.
If I do them I hope to cover up the lack of historical placement with extensive dialogue which will kind of have a medieval flavor. Alternatively, would someone be willing take my story if it's finished and perhaps tart it up with these elements that I can't provide? For a medieval story, do you think historical detail is essential? Reckon anyone will pull me over for using an improvised castle, battle or war?
Thanks

SEVERUSMAX said:Interesting feedback. Actually, I was thinking of a mercenary's life during the feudal wars of the late Middle Ages. Probably an Italian condottieri.Someone with a hard-nosed, cynical view of life and no patience with the courtly rites of the French knights. Making someone like that come to life and find a lover (probably lower-class) would be more interesting IMO than the overplayed, knight-lady deal. After all, any actual contact between the knight and his lady was rare and dangerous.
