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.
