I think Spice and Wolf paintd a pretty good depiction of the market (and world) of the early middle age’ europe.

To not offend anyone: please don’t get me wrong.

It is not the goal of the series to give a historical correct impression. But to create a nice and engaging story. Which is totally fine. But historical accuracy is not part of it.

I watched the first episode and have to say: it is not even close to give a proper impression of the medieval (especially early medieval) ages in europe.

clothing completely wrong

How villages and cities look like

How trade is organized

local law enforcement is completely missing

how a village and social life was organized and the embedding into the local administration is missing

It is a nice show to watch. But a "… pretty good depiction of the market… "? Definetly no.

I do 13th century living history for museums. The show has more in common with a Hollywood movie then anything with history.
