All around the world, people are becoming increasingly concerned about misinformation and deliberate lies being spread, as a way to undermine both the existing political and public order. But the use of propaganda and the conspiracy theories that it has spawned have been around for centuries. We should remember that in the Medieval Period especially, there was a great deal of superstition and fear, and conspiracy theories can be incredibly comforting, because they help people to understand the world around them, and make sense of events out of their control. Letâs travel back in time now to the Middle Ages to take a look at vicious rumours, religious scapegoats and some political fake news. Welcome to Medieval Madness.
