Generically European stone walls frame long, torch-lit dining halls where courtly feasts are held. Outside the fortress walls, bloody battles, festive pageantry, and quests where good triumphs over evil proceed. There is, in general, an Olde English–accented blend of civility and barbarism that forms a romantic image we identify as “medieval.” The franchise Medieval Times, which first appeared in Florida in 1983, has taken that world and brought it to nine North American locales.

Each location is designed to very loosely resemble an eleventh-century Spanish castle, and the “bill of fare” is more a riff than actually medieval. The franchise knows exactly how much medieval-timiness we actually want and gives us just that, the same way Western cowboy dramas or American colonial reenactments tend to leave out the short life expectancy, dysentery, poor Fantasy 87 state of dental hygiene, and general While the knights begin their first more likely to find sorrel soup with figs grossness of life in simpler times. “tests of skill”—trying to hook small and dates.
