    Kings, plagues, private armies (more late medieval and renaissance, but you get the idea), career military with hi-tech weapons tearing apart barely armed peasants. Idk, OP, seems like we got almost everything covered

    Chaperon hats.

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
    JOUSTING!

    We can do it with motorcycles this time instead of horses!

    OH ALSO

    Private Military contractors should begin to dress like crosses between clowns and noble-knights again.

    (hours later addendum) Bowing as a form of social greeting. We REALLY missed a beat when we didn’t bring this back when COVID made people afraid of getting too close to each other.

      I watched the Knights of Valor (full contact jousting troupe) perform at the Glengarry Renaissance Fair a month ago.

      It was the most exciting sporting event I have ever seen. I want it normalised in arenas where the knights have sponsorships and good insurance.

        If I recal, only lords or people from royalty where able to not only afford the armor but they where the only ones who could compete…

        So the jousters would be congressmen right?

    Mandatory longbow training for yoemen and yoewomen. Let’s get those skills trained up in case we’re ever facing a charge of French knights.

      That’s what the “well-regulated militia” of the 2nd amendment was already supposed to be (give or take longbows vs. guns)

      Some people see guilds as a form of worker union providing job protection but they are also oligopolies for business owners, resulting in higher price for goods and less employment opportunities overall due to the “you got to be a member so you can do business” aspect of it

    Moats. I was kidding at first, but I’m now thinking lazy rivers are modern moats.

      Moats were cool until I learned that toileting holes were often positioned such that the urine and feces wash down into the moat. I’m gonna have to take a pass on that lazy river…

    Cloaks would be cool. I know that’s more of a fantasy aesthetic than a medieval one but they are cool enough that it shouldn’t matter.

      I have a cloak vendor bookmarked. I haven’t pulled the trigger because I don’t know if I wanna be the cloak guy, but dammit I want a cloak.

        My big wool cloak is my absolute favorite winter garment. It is unbelievably warm and cozy, blocks wind better than any other coat I own, and as an added bonus I can wrap someone else up in it with me to keep THEM warm.

        I am unabashedly the cloak girl. Bring back cloaks!

        I got a wool blanket. I’m sure there’s away to fold/drape into a cloak.

        Just looked into it. just need a pin!

      Medieval aesthetics also really had cloaks, but big detached hoods were more common.

      Cloaks are actually quite historical, they’re very easy to make and useful in a variety of conditions.

      Trebuchets aren’t really a tool for defence. They have tremendous range and aren’t exactly speedy to load, aim, and launch.

      Unless you meant defence in the same way that a country’s military operations are known as “defence forces” regardless of intent, in which case carry on.
