Middle Ages knowledge
Medieval lore encompasses the traditional stories, beliefs, customs, and knowledge associated with the Middle Ages, roughly spanning from the 5th to the 15th century in Europe.
This includes tales of knights and chivalry, legends of King Arthur and his court, folklore about dragons and other mythical creatures, and beliefs about magic, witchcraft, and the supernatural.
The term also covers medieval understanding of medicine, astronomy, and the natural world, much of which blended observation with superstition.
