What if some of our modern popular songs were written during the time of Charlemagne or Frederick Barbarossa? A recent trend called “Bardcore” has taken social media by storm. It is when musicians take an existing popular song and attempt to re-create it in the style of medieval music. While it might not be the most accurate, interesting band names that include Hildegard von Blingin’, the Constantine Bard and Beedle the Bardcore create songs that are sure to delight. Enjoy these nine medieval covers that include some of today’s greatest hits.
