A person who opposes medieval culture or advocates against medieval values and practices in modern society.
From antimediaevalism + -ist (one who practices or advocates). The term describes those holding strong antimediaeval philosophical positions.
Antimediaevalists were so confident in progress that they threw away medieval manuscripts, destroyed 'primitive' architecture, and dismissed centuries of knowledge—making them the accidental villains in stories about cultural loss.
