Misconceptions about the Middle Ages (Part 1)
There are numerous modern misconceptions surrounding the Middle Ages.
One is that medieval people believed the earth to be flat. Almost every medieval scholar believed the Earth to be round. In the 19th century, the idea that medieval people believed in a flat Earth emerged and was widely circulated as an example of how backward that era was believed to be.

Another common misconception is that medieval women were forced to wear chastity belts to keep them from having sex. Tales of lords leaving on a crusade and using this contraption on their wife to keep them for cheating began circulating in the Victorian Ear when a fascination of medieval torture devices emerged. Before then, the term chastity belt had a symbolic meaning of purity. This device never existed in medieval times.

The last misconception we’ll discuss today is that medieval people we all extremely pious. While it’s true that many were religious, a lot of people were indifferent when it came to religion. And others formed their own ideas about God, which were different than the church’s teachings.
