Not exactly answering the question that was asked but...
I find it interesting what people choose to portray in different
countries. In the UK, most people do something linked with where they
are, or where they grew up, or perhaps a more distant family link. But
the Americans and Australians I have met are more prepared to portray
history from somewhere else entirely, doing Byzantine and Bulgarian
medieval and all sorts. It seems that, because they don't have the
[European] history of that time in their own country, they feel more
free to just pick something they fancy.
