Judging from the way it was portrayed in https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4136774/ "The Ministry of Time / El ministerio del tiempo" your fate was at the hands of arbitrary and capricious authorities.
I have been reading game of thrones in Spanish and it's hilarious what has happened to my vocab. Ability to describe armor and varieties of horses? Check. Ability to use slang or informal language relevant to peers? Not so much.
Any medieval fair held by crust punks will mimic that old Spanish so-so.
