Hope this is okay to post...
I studied a master's degree in Medieval Literature (specifically between 1350 and 1500) with a focus on hagiography (saint's lives), and my dissertation was a transcription of a treatise on the Seven Deadly Sins. If you have any questions about Medieval Christianity/piety/heresy/something related I might be able to help you.
I also specialised in codicology and paleography -- studying books as objects and study of ancient handwriting respectively. If you have questions about Medieval books (Who wrote them? Where did the material come from? Why were they written? What materials were used? etc.) and medieval handwriting (what's the difference between anglicana and secretary?) please ask. I might not be able to give a massively complex answer, but I can certainly try and illuminate your way (little manuscript joke there, haha - I am a nerd).
I'll also answer any other questions about Medieval life and culture as best I can. However, I know very little about Medival warfare/armour/swordplay/jousting etc. so I probably can't help you with those topics.
