The Medieval fad recreates other fads using elements from the {{w|Bayeux Tapestry}}, a famous 11th century embroidery depicting William the Conqueror's victory over the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings.
 
  
The fad was made possible by the Historic Tale Construction Kit, a Flash website that allows users to drag and drop pictures and text from the Bayeux tapestry into their own custom-designed scenes.      The resulting combination of pictures and text resembles the most basic form of a YTMND, perhaps explaining the fad's appeal to YTMND users.
 
 
The text in Medieval YTMNDs is usually a fad catchphrase rewritten to resemble Early Modern English, often to the point of absurdity.  ("I hath it with thine {{ytmnd|medievalsoap|mother trysting serpents}} on thine mother trysting flying barge!") 
 
 
To complete the medieval setting, virtually every site in the fad uses the same song: folk singer Heather Dale's recording of the 15th century Christmas carol "This Endris Night."  The popularity of the fad earned "This Endris Night" a spot on [[YTMND_Soundtrack#Volume_1|YTMND - The Soundtrack Volume 1]].
