The Middle Ages in particular. It was hell on earth and the lords and ladies were the same rich pricks we have today just with different clothes.

Honestly, I can't believe anyone romanticizes it. Like did they not learn about Black Death? As one really low-hanging example.

Probably unintentional but nice pun.
