Little did the authors of the video and commentators know that romantic love is also a concept of modernity and not a tradition lol

@tayh.6235 But it's about erotic/sexual love rather than romantic. And erotic/sexual love existed from the beginning of mankind

@roan2288 troubadour stories were about chivalry and courtly love, the latter taking quite strange forms, like man performing series of heroic tasks to prove his love to a married woman, without getting her at the end. It also never involved anyone outside of nobility. But the most important fact is that it was mostly fiction stories to entertain nobles, and even if they engaged in such relationships, those were mostly a roleplaying game for them.
