*Deaf people were mostly isolated in medieval times, and in medieval Europe they were considered to be demonic. Without community, it is more difficult for language (including a sign language) to develop. Currently, there is a large number of Deaf on the Island of Sicily. These medieval characters exist on the assumption/hope that there was a Deaf community on this island during medieval times.
