    You Wouldn’t Survive Medieval Courtship

    Is that supposed to make me romantic for the Medieval? “You would’ve been killed trying to get a girlfriend” isn’t exactly a good selling point.

    Also, I’m suspect about the mental health claim. Not that I’m saying everyone was miserable back then (although I can’t imagine a world where less than half of ones kids would survive to their 12th birthday was good for the psyche), rather that there’s not a good scientific basis to make a call either way.
