It's #HugaMedievalistDay 🫂 Gold foil figures from early medieval Scandinavia often feature embracing couples. Maybe the medievalists are learning from example!

Dark knights. Wicked goblins. Flame-spewing behemoths. Just another day in King Arthur's World 👑, one of the few SNES games playable with a mouse. But put down the controller, push aside the mouse, and go hug a medievalist 🤗. Happy #HugAMedievalistDay!

Hier était #HugAMedievalistDay, aujourd’hui la fête de Hugues, alors #LeSceauDuMardi est obligé de partager ce sceau de Hug Dossenheim, bourgeois de #Strasbourg. 😁 Cette empreinte est appendue à la charte de serment de la ville de 1425.

International #HugaMedievalistDay (if anyone is still doing that), and I just wanted to remind you that you should NOT use the stories of #TheCourtJester to convince someone to hug you. Or date you. Or do anything with you, really.
