Nikolas Lloyd – Hollywood’s Medieval Balderdash

Mainstream movies make the same annoying mistakes when depicting the medieval world.

The general viewing public is being misled in many ways.

The cinema is not a great place to learn about history, alas.

Lloyd of the ‘Lindybeige’ YouTube channel will take you through a lot of the worst offenders, so that in the years ahead, you too will be able to watch a great movie set in the medieval period, turn to your neighbour and say “That bit’s wrong.”Nikolas Lloyd is a YouTuber, based in Newcastle, who, when he isn’t swing dancing, model-making, writing, or playing bicycle polo, makes videos.

These tend to be on military history or archaeology, but often wander off-topic.Please note the date and time of this event is different to our usual Saturday afternoon programming.
