Lo! Knight! We drew a snail with a snail so you may fight a snail whilst you fight a snail.

Ro*****************************:

its a older meme sir but it checks out

Em*********:

Memes in medivial times:





OMG I CANT BELIEVE IT THE LOMBARDS SNAIL MEME IN THE BIB-

OMG HE'S PRAYING BEFORE FIGHTING THESE SNAILS?? XD XD THIS IS SO TRUE COWARDS XpP


Im gonna draw some snail cats rn. Maybe it'll be popular.

ch**************:

I think this is my new favorite Vox video. Meme in peace, scribes. Meme in peace.

Fi*********:

So..
Are you telling me..



That snails are the memes of the 14th century???

Sa*******:

The answer is simple, in medieval times giant snails were a real menace but thankfully the brave Knights of Europe wiped them all out for us.

Ho*********:

I just kind of learned that medieval monks made memes.







I can die happily.

Ju****:

My theory is that it's a representation of them fighting boredom.

Na******:

Title : why knights are fighting snails in images

Video: we don’t know exactly why

Pa*********:

And everyone thinks the internet started the meme craze - but really scribes back in the day were sneak dissing via memes in books for years before the internet .

Ka**************:

So basically this is where Monty Python humour came from in part

Gu***********:

I wonder if they actually had memes inb4 christ. Imagine some egyptian kids drawing mummies with shiny eyes doing t poses on scrolls without any explanation.

j0******:

"Pray for yourself knight, pray that the snail will kill you quickly"

Yo********:

VINTAGE MEMES! VINTAGE MEMES! GET YOUR PERFECTLY PRESERVED 700 YEARD OLD MEMES RIGHT HERE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

Ce********:

So basically: how an ethnic slur became a meme for perhaps a few generations of scholarship.

Da********:

this means there were huge snails back then but the knights killed them all

br********:

The knights killed off the really big snails. So only the little itty bitty mollusks were left.

Dr***:

2019: Why knights fought snails in medieval art
2119: Why players fought chickens in CSGO

Em*********:

Is it ok to draw in the margins of my school books now????

So********:

I think it means fighting off laziness and such just me I guess

Av******:

Fun fact: In some European countries with medieval roots a pawn shop is still known as a "lombard"

At****:

Who Also.. just got a New Tattoo idea!!????

Oh******:

clap clap meme review.

Jo********:

Yes it is most accurate to say the snails are a meme. In my law class we ran over an ancient Roman law that required individuals to flee from battle if an avenue of retreat was available, rather than to fight an aggressor. This law was meant to prevent personal skirmishes from resulting in pointless death. Two aggrieved parties would menace each other with weapons then slowly back away to avoid combat while keeping their honor. In the margins of the book containing this law, there is a knight defending himself from a snail. Obviously, the point is that he could easily run away from the snail. That's the punch line. Like any meme, every time it appears the joke is slightly different until the original meaning is obscured. The joke might have several origins; there's no telling where it came from.

Kl**********:

Did medieval knights do battle with snails?

Ancient Astronaut Theorists say “yes”

Bl************:

Jontron: im a brave boi
see a snail
Jontron: NOT A BRAVE ENOUGH BOI FOR THIS!

Ha***********:

England, making memes since 1200

Fr*********:

This is the medieval times' equivalent to today's "this meme will be hard to explain in 100 years"

AB*:

"Yo dude look at this snail i just drew"
"Hey thats a good one!! Imma draw one too."
Medieval meme stealing

Co***********:

All those swords when all they needed was salt.

fi******:

I think i've got it actually. In theory. The word for 'snail' in French being 'escargot', a quick etymology search shows that the origin of this word is related to 'cockles' for shell or chamber. It would later develop into phrases like the 'cockle of one's heart', and these knights facing off against snails might suggest that what is happening based on the story on the page is that they're struggling with a softness of heart. Given metaphors, it would be incongruent to have them face clams, or actually show them tilting against the anatomical organ, but inland away from the sea, the comparison to a shelled creature, the soft matter inside that is the slug, they are being depicted as conflicted within. A portrayal of conquering their inclination to things like mercy. It's possibly the visual conveyance of over coming their internal conflictions.

Fa*****:

As time went by, the snail changed, slowly transforming into simple lines, until it was but the first letter of its name. The curves became jagged, as modern artistic trends influenced the scholars of the early 20th century. Nowadays, the simple "S"'s adorn the manuscripts and desks of young scholars worldwide, a sign of simplicity, of ignorance and disdain for the lessons being taught. And though it is ubiquitous and prevails through time, the S is but a shell of the snail it once was, its origins as forgotten as the Lombards themselves.
