Between 1400–1500, during the High Middle Ages, the European society stays deeply religious. European societies are, for all purposes, theocracies, lead by kings of divine right — the kind that fascinates conservatives in the XX-th century ; in our case, the society that arouses and tittilates the Romanian conservatives in the XXI-st century.

But the men in this society wear trousers that our Latter-Days conservatives find effete and unmanly. These trousers are (1) tight-fitting (2) pink or in flashy colours, usually pure red or blue ; (3) with conspicuous buttocks and a padded sex area.

Exactly like I told you : pink, tight-fitting leggings.
And so on, and so forth. It was either pink tight leggings or steel armour.
Did I say pink, tight leggings ? Oh, I am repeating myself. Or, equally classy and straight, with trouser legs of different colours.

The present blog is about Conservative ideology and how it imagines the past. In fact, the Middle Ages and the epoch until 1800 was not so conservative.
