I'm pretty sure he meant that Indirik claiming exposure to (pseudo-)medieval settings mainly comes from Shakespeare is wrong. I concur; popular fiction has probably shaped most of our minds way more than William did. Then again, BM might be attracting a fanbase of WS-junkies?
It was me, not Indirik.
And I meant that our exposure to
actual Renaissance culture comes from there—which I think is likely closer to actual Medieval culture than many (if not most) modern fictional portrayals of Medieval culture.
