1. I wasn't alive in 1240, so I have no idea of the music then.

However I googled the year and found this:

“A Novgorodian army led by Alexander Nevsky defeats the Swedes in the Battle of the Neva.”

7. I totally get my groove on with some awesome ars antiqua

Melismatic phrasing colored with parallel fourths and fifths... never the tritone though. That's from Satan. He smiles at the beginning of every Simpsons episode.

8. My favorite would have to be one of the Rolling Stones earlier tunes.

I think that's just around the year the band was formed.

10. Keith Richards was just a teenager!

The centuries haven't been kind to him.

12. Keith might disagree. He doesn't look a day older than he did in 1240.

14. Kalenda Maya

(a bit earlier than 1240, but in the ballpark)
