Well, I have heard people who know more about the period than I did 
refer to the "Twelfth-century Reanaissance", and there are certainly 
some books available on the subject.

Perhaps this is what they are referring to.

I thought it sounded mostly OK. I mean, obviously some bits were wildly 
inaccurate (ie potatoes for dinner), but in general I didn't think it 
seemed "sad" or "shoddy".
