The Middle Ages, often depicted as a time of knights, castles, and religious fervor, was also a period rich in storytelling. Legends and myths from this era were not merely products of imagination but served as a means for people to interpret their world, cope with hardship, and transmit cultural values. These stories provided a moral framework, explained natural phenomena, and linked the human experience with the divine. The blend of Christian beliefs with pagan traditions, classical heritage, and local folklore created a tapestry of rich and varied tales.
