Find a really old Carolingian and ask him/her, I'd say.
Hello? Really old Carolingian here. And while I wasn't at the Crown myself, I was amazingly well (for me) tuned into the brouhaha: I was Vis' thegn at the time and living at the Buttery, but so recently living in Ostgard (where I ran in the same pack as Andreas) that I was still getting a subscription to The Seahorse.
It is with that background that I ask: what evidence do people have that the movie was based on our troubles? Evidence, not just "troubles-in-a-medievalist-club" familiar feeling? And how is George Romero supposed to have known so much about our politics? And questions like that there.
