Who Would You Want To Be In 1400? (Non-quiz version)

Post Reply New Topic

Here is the non-quiz version. If you could be someone in the late medieval era, circa 1400, who would it be?

I wish I could be Guillaume Du Fay. He was an awesome composer, poet, lawyer, priest, hung out with powerful figures and died rich. He lived until 70 while others were dying of plague. Now that's living.

An English Earl.

Quasimodo

I'd wanna be a man, in an era of no contraception women are doomed to just breed and die worn out from breeding.

if i was a woman, i'd be a nun.

I would be Cossimo di Medici..... A God-Father of the Renaissance.

I wonder if people back then used to walk around thinking "boy, this is a long time ago!"?
