->''...the actual Renaissance in no way resembled today's Renaissance fairs. Nobody took Visa, and the average person didn't live past twenty seven; it was an entire planet of ''[[LiveActionTV/TheRealWorld Real World]]'' cast members. You either died of plague or were burned alive for being a witch. Such inauspicious circumstances gave rise to the murder ballad.''

->The guys themselves, knights, soldiers, archers, and so on, were a nasty-looking bunch of humans. No one looked like they'd washed their clothes any time [[UsefulNotes/TheHundredYearsWar this century]]. Faces were dirty. [[ScaryTeeth Teeth were rotted and I mean yellow-and-black, gnarled-looking rotted]]. They were pompous, swaggering knights and whatever, who had literally four and a half teeth in their whole head.
->And speaking of heads, here's a clue: You didn't want to have really good eyesight and see these guys' hair. We're not just talking fleas. We're talking lice. And not one or two. Every head was like a Manhattan of lice. A Hong Kong of fleas. There were crawling little bugs packed onto some of these guys like fans at a Phish concert.
->And skin? Scabs, rashes, bumps, boils, warts, things you thought might be beetles stuck on their faces but that were actually moles. It was pockmark city. Virtually every face looked like someone had fired a shotgun at it. Deep holes you could almost stick a finger into.
->Smallpox, of course.
->It was not an attractive crowd. English or French, it didn't matter, except that the French had more horses and cooler armor.
