Medieval backgrounds of videos

Doth thee wond'r about wh're art the images, yond art being hath used in bardcore videos, from?

Many medieval style cov'rs creat'rs art using the Historic Tale Construction Kit
F'r example, this kit is hath used by:
  • Cornelius Link - the one, who is't did start this sudden did spread of medieval style cov'rs/bardcore
  • Mystic Zaru - the one, who is't is eke making cov'rs with vocals
  • the_miracle_aligner - the one, who is't is eke making cov'rs with vocals
  • Modern Music of the Dark Ages
(I mention'd creat'rs whose bardcore videos has't hath reached ov'r 500 000 views to June 21, 2020)



One of creat'rs of excellent medieval style cov'rs with vocals, Hildegard von Blingin', is using images from:
  • The Romance of Alexander
  • The Rutland Psalter
  • The Tacuinum Sanitatis



If 't be true thee (you) wouldst findeth and unfold some quite quaint (beautiful) artw'rk hath used in bardcore videos, prithee (please) writeth a comment und'r this article! :D

Hist'ry of using medieval tapestries 'r images in the background of bardcore videos

Medieval arras (tapestry) edits, 'r medieval macros, ref'rs to a s'ries of image macros bas'd on hist'ric tapestries and images of the medieval 'ra, as well as parodies of such images did create via online gen'rat'rs.

The most hath used one in bardcore videos is the Historic Tale Construction Kit.

T wast did create in 2002 by German students Björn Karnebogen and Gerd Jungbluth from Academy of Media Arts Cologne.

The application did allow us'rs to maketh custom medieval arras designs by adding styliz'd text and images did scan from the 11th century Bayeux Arras.
On May 15, 2003, the kit was madeth available to the public.

The website wast lief discov'r'd on 4chan, wh're t wast hath used to maketh image macros and reaction images.


The Bayeux Arras eke did inspire the creation of a multitude of YTMNDs (memes on YTMND.com, usually with Heather Dale's rec'rding of the 15th century Christmas carol "This Endris Night" in the fad).

The text in Medieval YTMNDs wast usually a fad catchphrase rewritten to resemble Early Mod'rn English, oft to the pointeth of absurdity ("I hath it with thine mother trysting serpents on thine mother trysting flying barge!").

This is what we can seeth eke on background photos of bardcore videos, in their description and in the comment section und'r those folk.

The Construction Kit wenteth offline sometime 'round July 2011.

A similar kit wast host'd on a subpage of the Reading Museum in Britain detailing the hist'ry of the arras
until Johannes Jander did create a mirr'r of the 'riginal. The mirr'r wast h're but t is nay longeth'r available.

On Septemb'r 28th, 2015, GitHub us'rs Leonard Allain-Launay, Mathieu Thoretton and Maira did create an ope source remake of Hist'ric Tale Construction Kit.

And this is what we art using anon!



Howev'r, the Bayeux Arras (in Hist'ric Tale Construction Kit) isn't the only source f'r medieval style cov'r's background and f'r hist'rical memes.

F'r example, on January 7th, 2019, Reddit'r ascending_pepe hath used images taken from the 13th century did illustrate bible known as the Morgan Bible ('r the Bible of Morgan 'r Maciejowski Bible 'r Bible of King Louis).

That gent post'd a s'ries of objecteth labeleth meme to /r/dankmemes subreddit. One of the posts did gain ov'r 72,600 upvotes within 24 hours. On the same day, that gent link'd the source images f'r the illustrations in a Reddit comment.


Following the initial posts, m're notew'rthy memes exploiting medieval images w're post'd to /r/dankmemes subreddit.

How t all did start: Medieval style cov'rs (bardcore/tavernwave) on YouTube

So ev'ryone can seeth on Youtube th're’s been a recent surge of artists making medieval music (also  hath called as bardcore and tavernwave) on YouTube.

But wh're didst this trend starteth?

T seemeth liketh yond t did start with the coffin danceth meme.

A video featuring a Ghanaians celebrating at a excit'ment'ral with dancing pallbear'rs wenteth viral on YouTube.


This video prominently featur'd the Astronomia song by Vicetone & Tony Igy.

The video wenteth viral and t did create many d'rivative memes and parodies.

Youtub'r Cornelius Link hadst the brilliant idea to maketh a medieval style parody of the coffin danceth meme. That gent hath used a medieval style arras (tapestry) to depict the dancing pallbear'rs and did include medieval style cov'r of Astronomia featuring medieval instruments.


This video wast so wildly popular t prompt'd that gent to maketh many oth'r medieval style cov'rs and arras depictions of music album cov'rs. Many oth'r youtub'rs beganeth doing similar cov'rs.

And thus the trend was born.



On May 19, 2020 a talent'd blogg'r Anchor from the Czech Kingdom (/the Kingdom of Bohemia/Czech Republic) hath found medieval style cov'rs and immediatelly hath fallen in loveth with this new (howev'r, in fact, fusty) music genre. :D

The lady did create a listeth of h'r minion mod'rn songs and hath tried to actively contribute to the development of bardcore by contacting one of excellent medieval style cov'rs creat'rs, Modern Music of the Dark Ages, on Instagram.  That gent did thank h'r, toldeth h'r, yond that gent did like all of those folk and yond that gent wouldst seeth what that gent can doth. 
 
On May 21, 2020 the lady did create blog Bard-core.blogspot.com and wroteth this posteth.
