Or the plague...or, if you were lucky, you'd be beheaded for treason against the crown.
So you didn't have to put up with the medieval era for all that long.

Europeans (and Americans of European ancestry) tend to bend from the waist. People from Africa and Asia bend from the hip. I've tried it both ways and I find that it's a lot easier on the back and less tiring to bend from the hip.

How they walk is not at all important.
