Searching for resources for learning how to speak like a medieval knight
scott2978:
Wondering if anyone knows of resources for historical speech like a medieval person, particularly a knight of the 14th or 15th century.
Thorsteinn:
Which country/region and around what decade?
After all that is like saying "How do you speak like a military officer of the 18th/19th century from Earth".
scott2978:
Southern England, 1390-1410
Thorsteinn:
That's definitely an Ian question.
"CALLING SIR IAN!!!!!"
Sir Edward:
