"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark

I like it! Very appealing.
Makes me think I should go watch some of the local Madrigal singing groups.
Oh, they're great! I really want to take dh to a Christmas madrigal dinner. Way back when (gosh, about 30 years ago!) we used to sing in them.
I think of you, your dh, Greg, Eddie. Then I think of tights and king-like robes. Fun.
Lol. My dh *refused* to wear tights, as you can probably imagine. I had to buy him the longest black socks I could find!
My kind of music.
