Most of the "nerd medieval" is actually Victorian in origin.
Authentic medieval is a period that medieval thinkers themselves used to describe their period of history. Nerds like Medieval stuff perhaps because to them it reminds them of D&D and Tolkien. Historians and Medievalists like Medieval stuff because most of what the west is today was formed during that period of our history. Many like it because it is so unlike the Victorian romantic "Nerd" Medieval of jousting, roast turkey legs and bad manners.
