Medieval people were NOT short

Описание: *Slight correction: 173-4cm is 5'8" to 5'8.5", so very slightly shorter than the average height of British males in the 1990s, which was 175cm (5'9")* - Nevertheless, an almost insignificant difference.

Many people live under the impression that medieval people were much shorter than modern people. This simply is not supported by the archaeological evidence.
