Reply to comment by silverbird666 in What was history class like before the modern era? by SunsetShoreline

That's not true, people would be extensively taught in history and biblical theology if they just asked their priests. They went to mass every week, in churches that quite often had decorations precisely about this subject, and priests were expected to be able to explain them in detail if anyone asked -otherwise that would have made them seem quite unlearnt.

That might be the case, but I would really not categorize something like that as formal education.
