We spring back into action with yet another Sunday Digest! Hundreds of fantastic history threads, just waiting for you to browse through. Check out these handcrafted write ups, and don’t forget to shower our hard working contributors in appreciation and thanks!

Plus the weekly features!

• Tuesday Trivia: Clothing & Costumes! This thread has relaxed standards—we invite everyone to participate!

• The Thursday Reading and Rec!

• A somewhat quiet Friday Free for All this week, but check out the discussion prompts.

• META question! So many interesting questions go unanswered here because no one can provide a sufficiently academic answer. But others could provide an ok answer. Could we can the rules so that, say after 12 hours with no answer, the standards for a response are relaxed?

And that’s it folks! The answers are posted, the thread is live, and my job is done for one more week. Take it easy out there this coming week, ration out the history so you’ve always got something great to read, and I’ll see you again next week!

As always, we also like to take a moment each Sunday to call out all those fascinating questions that caught our eye, but still hope for the attention of an expert. Feel free to post your own, or others you came across, and maybe we’ll get lucky!

• /u/Milkhemet_Melekh asked What was the inside of a medieval (C. 11th-15th centuries) prison like?

• /u/Jerswar asked Medieval Europe: In terms of strategy, logistic and politics, what did the process of conquering territory look like? What did it take for a nobleman to be able to claim full control of a new territory, and its resources? And how did this effect the common people living there?
