Some might call it obscure, but many others think Medieval themes bring an air of enchantment to modern day living. As this oxymoronic cluster of modern medieval trends demonstrates, knights in armor, princesses, sorceresses and wizards are all making a welcome comeback into today’s pop culture.
Weird? Maybe, but I’m betting a lot of men wouldn’t mind wooing a damsel in distress, and many modern day maidens wouldn’t object to being swept off their feet by charming knights.
