Well there are alot of people finding out they had Ancestors that lived another great plague, during that time, and many of those people probably LARP and do Renaissance Faires, most likely millennials and younger, and some getting into Tarot and Fantasy.

Ah yes Princess Barbra (of Dreamtopia) has inspired many a tune I am sure as her blond hair shines gold in the sunlight, her blue eyes rival that of any saphire, her kindness and bravery know no limits and her dancing skills are unparalleled even amongst her many fine sisters. She is betrothed to Duke Kenneth (of Himbo Valley). A good looking chap by all accounts and certainly got a brave and kind heart though he hasn't much in the way of brains, still he and the princess definitely seem fond of one another so no doubt they'll make a fine and happy pair.

Imagine altering dimensions in space, travelling back in time, writing this out as your own original medieval piece, and having others play it at a festival. Would it go down in history as yours? Would Aqua be accused of using your music? Edit: A lot of people are mixing Shakespearean English with Old English from the Middle Ages. The lyrics to this would have been in Anglo Saxon. Something similar to this... "Hîe Barbara! Hîe Kenneth!! Fremian êow wanspêdwæstmian êac bâm râd? Gêse Kenneth! Hoppian hwon." That would have been closer to the language used during the Medieval period.
