My time travel plan is simple. Go back, smack as many of the dumbass southern politicians responsible for seceding and forming the Confederacy across the face as I can. Hopefully also slap Lincoln for not putting Grant in charge sooner. Then find someplace quiet and die because they can't charge cochlear implant batteries in that time period and when my ability to hear runs out I am fuuuuuucked.

pro tip: hide it somewhere so its proper old when you get back to the present, otherwise it just looks like super accurate replicas

Maybe, but if their greatest warrior guts you with a sword while you loom intimidatingly the physical advantage will be somewhat diminished.

No, I'm serious. I feel like a complete idiot (what's new right?), but I either hadn't thought of it or had thought of it and forgot, and I can't off the top of my head think of a story where that featured, and I read one or two time-travel ones recently.

Well, they don't let just anyone meet the king. If bringing tech over is possible it should be possible to establish yourself as god or an angel or something tho. Or a witch, they burn those.

I'm not sure their blunt, old-timey swords made of garbage metal can penetrate our modern, gelatinous guts. However, your point is valid, and I will stuff some newspaper under my shirt, or something.

Given the choice of living as a medieval king or modern poverty stricken poor I'd choose the latter 9 times out of 10. Life sucked hard balls back then, and I'd only consider it if I could go back with a top of the line Winnebago towing a lifetime supply of preserved food, medicine, stocked library and enough automatic weapons to take over a medium sized modern African nation.

I'd establish a 100m death zone around my battle wagon and rule via loudspeaker edict.

"rotate your crops, you dumbass"

"Send me your comely maidens, dolt"

"Oh god brush your teeth, wretch"

Not to be confused with the awful movie, this is a good book.

At one point the protagonist creates multiple soap companies and starts sponsoring knights because everyone smells so bad and he hopes sports + brand loyalty will get them to start bathing.

He also trolls the poo poo out of Merlin.
