Hi, I'm Frederick II Holy Roman Emperor and king of Sicily. I speak six languages and I really like science, reason and performing experiments of my own design. Once I had some infants isolated without human contact to see if they would develop a natural language, unfortunately they kind of died.

they did this in ancient egyptian times too to see which language was the oldest between like egyptian, er.. persian, hitite.. whateverian and that. They took babies from birth and put them in a room, and the first word that they spoke was guaranteed to be the first language. In the end I think a baby said like "buh" or something which is bread in Egyptian so the egyptians won the day.

Middle Ages posted:In the year of our Lord 1432, there arose a grievous quarrel among the brethren over the number of teeth in the mouth of a horse. For thirteen days the disputation raged without ceasing. All the ancient books and chronicles were fetched out, and wonderful and ponderous erudition such as was never before heard of in this region was made manifest. At the beginning of the fourteenth day, a youthful friar of goodly bearing asked his learned superiors for permission to add a word, and straightway, to the wonderment of the disputants, whose deep wisdom he sore vexed, he beseeched them to unbend in a manner coarse and unheard-of and to look in the open mouth of a horse and find answer to their questionings. At this, their dignity being grievously hurt, they waxed exceeding wroth; and, joining in a mighty uproar, they flew upon him and smote him, hip and thigh, and cast him out forthwith. For, said they, surely Satan hath tempted this bold neophyte to declare unholy and unheard-of ways of finding truth, contrary to all the teachings of the fathers. After many days more of grievous strife, the dove of peace sat on the assembly, and they as one man declaring the problem to be an everlasting mystery because of a grievous dearth of historical and theological evidence thereof, so ordered the same writ down.

I'm Charlemagne and it's absolutely crucial that I make all these peasants learn to speak Classical Latin instead of their devolving, mongrel dialects because apparently God can only understand our prayers if they're recited in perfect Latin. The idea of a completely omnipotent god is unfamiliar to me, a Frankish dimwit who can't even write his own name.

Most revolts were just peasants burning tax records and wiping the slate since if they killed the guy with the sword and armor bandits/a bigger lord would crush them with their humongous medieval ballsacks
