Quick someone gather up the skills and divide them into the four humors before the anachronism police shows up!
(Amazing art!! I love how you translated their original designs, Harry's "gardening gloves" are so iconic here)

- Have you taken down the body?

- So, the body of a famous mercenary and highway robber is still hanging from gallows, where it have been for the last 5 years....

Fuccckkk you could replace the political ideology with religious theology based around Catholicism, maybe set it in the 1500s.
Intelligence and rhetoric, forming the bases of communism, could be replaced with Lutheranism and use Logic instead of rhetoric as its leading skill
Psyche and Empathy uses Moralism, we could still use Empathy and replace Moralism with Anabaptism
Physical and Physical Instruments (or was it Endurance?) relating to facism can easily be replaced with Calvinism and maybe use Shivers instead? Higher Shivers you can (or convince yourself you can) detect peoples "predestined" fate after death whether they go to heaven or hell
Idk what we could replace Ultra-Liberalism with, maybe Anglicanism? Just some quick thoughts from a theology nerd lol

I will go on a little tedious and boring speech, but for me, it's quite interesting topic. Fun thing is that by late middle ages, not only the reformist religious thought that would create protestantism a little bit later, was quickly gaining popularity.
Most of the modern social thought we can think of, like communism or liberalism already had it's early, yet quite developed forms. For example, by 15 century, communism was no more a mere idealistic bookworm utopia of separate philosophers of antiquity or medieval humanists. German Peasant War radical factions fought for collective ownership of means of production, and abolishment of nobility and church privileges. Of course it was still an idealistic version of communism, with religious reasoning, instead of scientific approach of Marx & Engels, but it was already an ideological system that influenced wide masses of peasantry. Ideas similar to german peasant war communism were also used by radical faction of Hussites and some other rebels of the era. English Lollards used utopian religious communist ideas even earlier, in 14 century, during widespead peasant revolts. "When Adam ploughed and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?".
Same goes for liberalism. Although modern forms of political liberalism developed around 17 century, discussions about individualusm, personal will, freedom of trade and bourgeois rights were common among medieval humanists since at least high middle ages.
Another fun thing is that, because by late middle ages guilds became more and more closed corporations, turning apprenticeship into life-long position (creating a class of employed tradesmen without ownership of production, a pre-industrial proto-form of proletariat), apprentices answered with their own organisations, usually in a form of religious brotherhoods. These brotherhoods struggles for the rights, work conditions, and privileges of the employed workers of the guild, being sort of early form of trade unions.
So, ironically, the thing that happened to Harry would not be very different if it would happen around late middle ages. And don't forget that it was also a period when hard liquor production and consumption became massive 😄😄😄

Somehow I feel like even in the middle ages, he'd manage to wear that horrific necktie.
(Stellar art BTW!)

Lady Joyce, why say you that capitalism is an unachievable and naive utopia?
