Italian didn't exist in the Middle Ages

It literally reads : By the friend, and each other obstacle and by the world heart, it conquers.
If you would like, here's a more accurate translation:
Amici, et virtus, et cor purus omnes impedimenta vincent.
(I took Latin for 6 years)

I took Latin for 2 years. Pig Latin for a day, and switched to German.
The Latin just didn't click for me German does.

Exactly
Sir Nate:
Quid nomen es tibi?
Mihi nomen es Marcus et Cornelia est amicus
It's sad this is a majority of what I remember. Still I can recognize Latin in words.

I don't know when it was invented/formalized but Italian definitely existed in the medieval period. There are Italian terms for plate armor pieces and I've seen reference to books about armor written in Italian during medieval times.
