In this handy field guide, we'll be exploring some of the weirdest and wildest mythical beasts and legendary creatures of the European Middle Ages. From basilisks to blemmyes, and everywhere in between. It's a world where biology and mythology blend together. We'll be looking at these three unusual documents in particular: - The Aberdeen Bestiary - Carta marina (by Olaus Magnus) - The Travels of Sir John Mandeville - Luttrell Psalter This video was a blast to make, I hope that you enjoy it! It also marks the start of Season III, go get ready for more obscure topics. Oh, and thank you all for 521k subscribers, I am so grateful to all of you!
