December 14, 2...<b>Was rape common in the Middle Ages?</b><br />December 14, 2017 - 06:20 <br /><br />TV shows such as "Game of Thrones" on HBO and "Norsemen" depict rape as having been commonplace in the past. But is that correct? <br /><br />By: Nancy Bazilchuk, based on an article by Bård Amundsen<br /><br />The television series "Game of Thrones" had shown at least 50 rapes and attempted rapes by 2015, according to a blogger who tallied them up. But that’s nothing compared to the books that the TV series is based on, “A Song of Ice and Fire,” which depicts about 200 rapes and attempted rapes in the first five books. (Photo: HBO screenshot)<br />Blame the Italians: During the 1400s and the bloom of the Renaissance in Italy, people created the perception that the Middle Ages was a dark period in history.<br /><br />They used the name the Middle Ages to describe the long period between golden antiquity that ended with the fall of Rome around the year 500 and their own Renaissance (which literally means rebirth).<br /><br />Today, we are still telling the same stories that they told of a dark period of a thousand years.<br /><br />Part of this dark image of the Middle Ages is the idea that it was full of sexual abuse.<br /><br />Tracking rape in the Middle Ages<br /><br />"If we look at Scandinavia, there is no evidence that rape was more common in the Middle Ages than in the two centuries that followed," or the 1500s and 1600s, says Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist. Ljungqvist is a historian at Stockholm University and has conducted two separate studies of the Middle Ages.<br /><br />Hans Jacob Orning is an expert in the Middle Ages from the University of Oslo. He points out that researchers would have found far more evidence of rape in the extensive literature we have from the Middle Ages, if it had been common at that time.<br /><br />“The culture of the Vikings and the Middle Ages was a culture of honour,” he said. "Women were an integral part of this culture. Raping a woman would not only have been an assault against her, but also against the community around her.”<br />Indeed, rapists were subject to the strictest possible punishment under the law of the time. Rapists were wanted criminals.<br /><br />“If you had raped a woman, anyone could kill you without risking punishment themselves,” Orning says.....<br /><br />http://sciencenordic.com/was-rape-common-middle-agesCharltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-64440268598166576132017-12-15T20:19:11.072-05:002017-12-15T20:19:11.072-05:00IMHAO
