People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".

This was quite funny! Highly recommend if you want an hour and 40 minute lighthearted 1870's story about a Very Dignified Victorian Lady getting into a very silly and awkward situation.

the other thing that happens is your friend wants to wear something "medieval" to the ren fair or whatever, and you need to know a lot more about the date (not just the century, the decade) and the place (spain is not like france is not like england is not like... etc) they want to look like, before you can begin to suggest anything.

The thing they don't tell you about getting really into one specific historical period is that very quickly every conversation turns into an attempt to avoid sounding like the "horribly wet in wexford today but not as bad as in the 690s" tweet
