The Middle Ages (129) : Fortune-teller

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

***

A fortune-teller was regarded as a mystical woman but in reality she was just a charlatan.

In medieval times however, a fortune-teller could earn a lot of money by ‘predicting’ someone's personal future based on the position of cards or the presence of hand lines.
