The Middle Ages (108) : Fire breather

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

Fire breathing is the act of creating a fireball by blowing a stream of fuel over an open flame.

The origin of fire breathing is suspected to be about as old as human production of alcohol and has a long tradition in China & India but its existence is also noted in ancient Egyptian texts.

In the midle ages, fire breathers were part of traveling singers and jugglers.
