/r/ing cool medieval lit.

Realistic, light reading. no canon shit pls

>light reading

I don't know how to tell you this, Anon, but nothing in Medieval literature really constitutes 'light' reading. Medieval literature is extraordinarily dense and allusive.

>about middle ages

You could try The Longships or maybe The Once and Future King

BUT I think there are so many great works FROM the Middle Ages.

Thanks for the effort but I was hoping less for sagas. Just something like Braveheart in book form I guess
