Medieval
Medieval refers to settings in Europe during the Middle Ages. Roughly speaking the medieval period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. This usually includes castles, swordplay and warfare. Frequent portrayals include War and other conflicts (often The Crusades), plague (especially The Black Death), peasantry, witch hunts and political scheming. Another popular trope is the romantic portrayal of courageous knights saving damsels in distress.
