I’m not sure about sacrifices but cannibalism was wide spread. Often as part of burial rites. But crusaders also ate people when they were desperate so…

This is important. It’s not like we had Ibuprofen for thousands of years, right? Modern medicine is insanely useful but that got nothing to do with anything that’s getting worse right now. That medieval slander is completely uncalled for. They had many technological breakthroughs just like we do and there were a lot of times and places in history that were much worse than these 1000 years in Europe have been on average.

People worked a lot less before the industrial revolution in general. The general population in Medieval times was also far more self-determined than people during absolutism later in the modern age. When people look at the Louvre today they don’t realize a grand place like that was only for the Epstein class of another time and built on theft and corpses, hence people brought out the guillotines.

The middle ages were arguably better than a lot of years following it until recently. People generally lived in relative peace and prosperity over those 1000 years. Same can’t be said about 30 year war or world wars.

The Sallet is generally paired with the most badass armors but if we’re only going by helmet looks, I’d go with the Frog-Mouth. It hits different.
