alt Hacker NewsIt is really great that Snopes was around in medieval times and can confirm or deny! /S
The thing is, no one knows what medieval peasants were doing, cos we weren't there. We have this or that piece of evidence, but evidence can be misinterpreted.

We know enough facts to get a good picture even if we don't know exactly what they were doing\
