Because there is no history. Should it be 16th or even 12tj century armour as portrayed in the medieval chansons? Or historical Anglo-Roman? Or 19th century versions of those?

I’ve really enjoyed the one-shots I’ve played but would love to do a full campaign too.

I loved someone’s recent explanation of Greg Stafford’s Pendragon setting as “19th century retellings of 16th century chivalric legends about 5th century Anglo-Roman myths.”

I’m a firm believer in the legend over canon approach, like Mad Max. They’re all takes of the Road Warrior, but iterate differently on the character and themes.
