you're not completely incorrect, but you seem to have a very pop-sci picture of how the past worked.

If you suddenly appeared in the forest one day it's AFAIK perfectly possible that people would treat you as any immigrant, just go down to the church and get registered and everything will be just dandy so long as you can do some sort of work.

Weren't there anti-vagrant and anti-spy laws?

i'm not quite sure how that would work since pilgrimages and other long-distance travel was pretty normal, and there was no way to transfer information faster than said travel (especially not just to get papers on a random pilgrim).

Gdamn it! Is everything I read the past decade just disinformation?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 hours ago

when it comes to history a good rule of thumb is that anything mainstream is complete nonsense, just actually made up.

I don't know. I have to ask those puppy girls if they would make an exception for a male pet. I'm tired, boss.
