With the septicaemic plague, victims suffered from skin that was darkly discoloured (turning black) as a result of toxins in the bloodstream (one reason why the plague has subsequently been called the ‘Black Death’). The deadly bubonic plague caused oozing swellings (buboes) all over the body. It had arrived in Europe by 1348, and thousands died in places ranging from Italy, France and Germany to Scandinavia, England, Wales, Spain and Russia. Also known as the Black Death, the plague (caused by the bacterium called Yersinia pestis) was carried by fleas most often found on rats. The plague was one of the biggest killers of the Middle Ages – it had a devastating effect on the population of Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries.

I’ve been to medieval times few times and every time I’m happy with my experience.Ĭheck-in is easy, you get your color and our crowns. I wouldn't have raised concern with this, but I figure in an effort to be truly medieval, this is noteworthy. I'm sure you can figure out the logic to the last item, but the first three are items of produce originating in Central and South America and sure as hell wouldn't have been in an 11th-century Spanish castle. I fashion myself as a bit of a history buff, and I can tell you that tomatoes, potatoes, corn, and definitely Pepsi were not found in Medieval Europe.

However, I feel that to truly preserve the Medieval vibe, the food would have to be a tad more Medieval. That's why I'm giving back a star and explaining this. Medieval Times wrote me a comment the next day, which I felt was a nice touch for an attraction of its magnitude, and said something along the lines of no silverware for a medieval experience. If you're coming here, it's really for the show, not the food." No fork or knife! The sides were a piece of potato and corn, which were acceptable. The main course was a giant piece of bland, cold chicken. The appetizer was a tomato soup, which was disgusting and bland, and served without a spoon. "I'm reviewing this as a restaurant because it falls under the restaurant category. In over six years of reviewing for TripAdvisor, working the way up to #1 in my city at over five hundred reviews, I've only ever felt compelled to edit two of my posts, this being the second. My children enjoyed every minute and as a parent I go to see a glimpse of the joy I felt when I was in those same seats as a child. The show was exciting and brought back so many memories. The food was better than I remembered and the service top notch. I am glad to say that is was wrong, within minutes of entering the castle I was speaking in my best old english accent, pointing at thing I remembered from my visit years ago and grinning from ear to ear. I was a little nervous as I remember being amazed by the knights, horses, and other pageantry that came with the show, and figured that as an adult it would not hold up to the spectacle it had been in my childhood. in the LA area and thought I would show them a place I always thought was majical when I was a child, Medieval Times. I decided to show them a number of different attractions. I try and make a point to avoid flying through LAX if ever possible, but on a recent trip to Japan I found myself with my family in LAX with an entire day to kill.
