The people at the Mirror continue to do cutting edge medieval scholarship and continue to release findings that the stodgy academics don’t want you to know! In this article, they consider the possibility that medieval snails were as big as humans because margin doodles in medieval manuscripts sometimes show humans battling giant snails. Check the article.
The Mirror’s next groundbreaking hypothesis will be that back in the Middle Ages, lions used to walk upright like humans, and that unicorns and lions used to cooperate in the unveiling of banners and heraldic crests – rather than being natural enemies as scientists once believed.
