Just a quick observation or two from a Twain hacker. The Middle Ages of CY look a lot like the antebellum South -- the kind of chivalric, Walter Scott tableau that Twain detested. (And as for its anti-Catholic vitriol, remember that the Twain-published "The Life of Pope Leo XIII" had recently been a costly failure, with Catholics failing to make Twain rich by buying the thing.)
