1. Medieval Lords

At the end of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the power of the King of France gradually grew stronger with the war, and the authority of the lords and nobles began to decline. So the lords or nobles began to use various means to consolidate their power. For example, Count Guillaume of Rue-Meux, who appeared in this game, actively participated in the French army and expressed his loyalty to the emperor in order to ensure the safety of his territory. In addition, there are people like Joseph who hired many retainers to run his estate for him, and his relative Bernardus became a monk and established a monastery to gain rich economic strength, so he was able to maintain his influence.

2. Diana of Rome (ローマのディアナ)

Diana (Latin: Diana, also translated as Diana), the goddess of the moon and hunting in Roman mythology, the daughter of Jupiter, the king of the gods, and Latona, the gentle goddess of the night, and the twin sister of Apollo, the sun god. Corresponding to Artemis (Apollo's twin sister) in Greek mythology.

The name that the bishop said after hearing "Artemis" in the second episode is Diana. She is called "the king of the forest" and is also used as a symbol of fertility. The image is a woman wearing the traditional Roman robe "tunic", hunting boots, holding a bow and arrow, and accompanied by a hunting dog or deer.

3. "Homosexuality is really popular in this world!"

Regarding homosexuality in the Middle Ages, it is difficult to summarize because of limited information and many things vary according to different times and regions. Generally speaking, homosexuality was considered a sin at that time and would be severely punished. For example, in the Kingdom of France, if someone was caught engaging in homosexual behavior, they would be castrated the first time, cut off their hands and feet the second time, and burned at the stake the third time. However, there were many paintings and literary works at that time that hinted at homosexuality sporadically, so homosexuality definitely existed in invisible places.

4. Mercenary raids

Mercenaries of that era were often called "Free Companies". In addition to fighting on the battlefield, they also committed atrocities such as looting in various places. The logistics network at that time was underdeveloped, the information channels were not smooth, and the productivity was low. The logistical supplies that the soldiers received at the military depot were far from enough. From an objective point of view, if they did not loot, they would face the danger of starvation. In addition, the financial foundation of the Kingdom of France was weak, and mercenaries earned more money working for private individuals than serving the country. However, even if the king relied on mercenaries to win the war, the losses caused to the country by their looting were also a headache.
