Donald Duck and Daisy Duck with their kids as Medieval Royal Family - Quack Pack AU - Duckverse in History - Medieval Festival and medieval outfits

Now some historical topics, namely the Duckverse (Donald Duck universe) in the past. I drew this as inspiration from the Quack Pack series from the episode "Leader of the Quack" in which Donald became the king of Quaintinia (a fictional country stuck in the middle ages). What I have drawn is my imaginary ending, but in a medieval period where Donald and Daisy are taken as king and queen, and their children are with them (Donald's nephews and Daisy's nieces as princes and princesses). And behind them are the knight Gyro Gearloose (taken inspiration from the Ducktales 1987 episode "Sir Gyro de Gearloose"), Archbishop Scrooge, Nelly the Dragon and the jester Fethry. And all this in a medieval atmosphere. I hope you like this idea and this drawing and you like the Middle Ages. And yes, this will be part of my Duckverse in History. And it is not allowed to use the versions I did without my permission. Also, i listened to this while i was drawing.

Also, this is my present for my friend @boingodigitalart, as my belated present for his birthday, plus thanks for inspiring me to draw this, but even better.

Yes, if you like this drawing, feel free to like and reblog this!

"History is relative to the people reading, writing, and examining it. How we view Eleanor of Aquitaine will continue to transform as we transform. But regardless of how our perspective changes, the fact that Eleanor was Aquitaine’s most beloved and respected ruler for almost a century does not change. No matter her status as Queen of France or England, her duchy remained her priority. Her commitment to her land and people is worthy of admiration– as is she."

Child's Writing Exercises and Doodles, from Egypt, c. 1000-1200 CE: this was made by a child who was practicing Hebrew, creating doodles and scribbles on the page as they worked

This writing fragment is nearly 1,000 years old, and it was made by a child who lived in Egypt during the Middle Ages. Several letters of the Hebrew alphabet are written on the page, probably as part of a writing exercise, but the child apparently got a little bored/distracted, as they also left a drawing of a camel (or possibly a person), a doodle that resembles a menorah, and an assortment of other scribbles on the page.

This is the work of a Jewish child from Fustat (Old Cairo), and it was preserved in the collection known as the Cairo Genizah Manuscripts. As the University of Cambridge Library explains:

For a thousand years, the Jewish community of Fustat placed their worn-out books and other writings in a storeroom (genizah) of the Ben Ezra Synagogue ... According to rabbinic law, once a holy book can no longer be used (because it is too old, or because its text is no longer relevant) it cannot be destroyed or casually discarded: texts containing the name of God should be buried or, if burial is not possible, placed in a genizah.

At least from the early 11th century, the Jews of Fustat ... reverently placed their old texts in the Genizah. Remarkably, however, they placed not only the expected religious works, such as Bibles, prayer books and compendia of Jewish law, but also what we would regard as secular works and everyday documents: shopping lists, marriage contracts, divorce deeds, pages from Arabic fables, works of Sufi and Shi'ite philosophy, medical books, magical amulets, business letters and accounts, and hundreds of letters: examples of practically every kind of written text produced by the Jewish communities of the Near East can now be found in the Genizah Collection, and it presents an unparalleled insight into the medieval Jewish world.
