Yes, but only for the school cloths. Medieval times aren't as knight/princess, happily ever after as some fiction readers like to think...it was bloddy, violent, and mean.

Nope. Depending upon where you lived, it was a filthy nasty place unless by luck you happened to be royalty.... then it was slightly less filthy.

To worth less than a horse? Using chastity belt? And after, make sex with a rude and smelly guy? To be a machine reproductive? Without a toothbrush? Die of sifilis or tuberculosis?
No, thanks, not at all!

Not live. But if time travel was real, I'd love to visit the medieval ages. The medieval ages was always my favorite thing to learn about in and out of school.

Maybe!! it would have been pretty interesting to live with Robin Hood and his band of merry men.The sanitary conditions in the forest would be the same as this day and age in the forest but I'm not sure how I would handle it with no stores handy....I do love my chocolate.

No, men liked to warmonger even more than they do today.
But think of all the forests there were, the unspoilt land etc. Certainly the planet was more beautiful back then, but your village could be burnt to the ground by marauders at any time.

Hell no. I like my freedom, sanitary conditions, and running water. Especially like the technology and disease control.

Not really, I couldn't imagine living in a time where the world was centered around obedience to religious dogma. If I wanted to live in medieval times I could just move to a fundamentalist theocracy and see what life was like hundreds of years ago.

God's no, now I imagine you're speaking where men follow the path of the Knight Errant in the tales where the knights are chivalrous and die like true heroes for just kings where the wicked are punished even if it takes awhile. Now that period sounds interesting to live in, but the true period, my answer is no.

NO. Lifespans were shorten, much of the food was poor quality, healthcare was barbaric, violence was rampant, etc.

I like studying that time period but I would not live in it.

No sanitation, medical barbarism, women are considered chattel, books are rare - the list goes on and on.
