Woohoo! 57% even though it was mostly "post-period"...
ReplyDeleteI dare not take the quiz for fear it will demonstrate my utter lack of medieval credentials.
ReplyDeleteDerek: Well done! That was some obscure medieval trivia.
ReplyDeleteJJC: I feel like there's a potentially interesting debate in there though, regardless of score -- what is the result of the auctor himself choosing what constitutes knowledge of medieval trivia?
More importantly, what qualifications does Chaucer have for claiming it's trivial?
I think I've been reading too much of Isidore's Etymologies...
I am not ashamed to admit that I scored a very low 31%. And some of the ones I got right I was wildly guessing. Finally, it is confirmed: I am not well-versed in late medieval trivia. I can now sleep at night.
