Ok, let me try this.

HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) practitioners who ID as femme (cis, nonbinary and transgender):

Did medieval history (especially the idea of knighthood and chivalry - its values) influence you in your decision to take up HEMA (sword etc)?

(If you want to help in this research, please boost as far as you can for a better and bigger sample!)

*Note: the poll has extended for another week!

Hi there, #histodons (and everyone else)! 👋 I guess it's time for a little #introduction 😎 I'm a PhD student in history mostly interested in #medievalHistory, #GameStudies, #GenderHistory / #GenderStudies and #DigitalHumanities. (Simply put: I like nearly anything related to #DigitalHistory)

I'm also part of Language at Play, a German Game Studies Blog that also hosts some English articles. One of them is an English translation of the probably most popular essay I've ever published on historical accuracy and authenticity in case you're curious: languageatplay.de/2022/04/22/t - Oh, and I also used to work on a Database on castles in medieval Franconia and later went on being the programmer of the website hosting said database and more (historisches-unterfranken.uni-) which also probably explains my handle. 🏰

Language at PlayThere is no such thing as "historical accuracy" of fiction – Language at Play"Historical accuracy" of works of pop culture is one of those things whose fascination never seems to completely fade for many people. That's somewhat understandable but still misguided. "Historical accuracy" just doesn't exist. And yet, it's important to understand what this debate really is about.
