When we think about social media today, it conjures up images of Facebook, Twitter, the internet and smartphones. But the primary urges that make us want to share news, both good and bad, build friendships and, of course, indulge in a lovely bit of gossip are not modern inventions.
The Europe of the Middle Ages had its own complicated social networks. The Medievals may not have had Wi-Fi or the World Wide Web, but they certainly didn’t go short on information. Let’s travel back to the Middle Ages and take a look at how the Medievals communicated without modern technology.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
