and

current popular culture uses of Medieval motifs, such as medieval faires, medieval-themed books and films (e.g. The Name of the Rose, The 13th Warrior, A Knight's Tale, Lord of the Rings, Mists of Avalon, etc), new family crests, recreations of Medieval texts (e.g. mystery plays) and music (e.g. Sequentia, Garmarna, Anonymous4).
