In our little series with Ricarda Reeck, she tells us about the art, the world of ideas and life in the Middle Ages. With her band Wayward, she performs her interpretation of popular songs of the Middle Ages and also writes her own in the style of the time. Today, the focus is on the historical context. With her extensive research, she is able to refute some misconceptions. The minstrels, for example, travelled much further than you think and exchanged their songs all over Europe in many languages.
