Also, far too much of what is assumed to be medieval is specifically English medieval. There were many other cultures, all quite different from England.
Game of Thrones has only added to this tendency.
I've been setting my stories specifically elsewhere. One is in southern Germany and Switzerland. One is in Dacia and Thrace (Constantinople). One is on an island off the coast of Brittany. My current WIP is in southern France. Another in the Harz Mountains.
There's just so much more to the Middle Ages than boring old England.
