Dan's Village

Being peasent is hard! i have to look after the crops, vegetables and food and even the animals. I was watching the cows before and i saw one of the cows found a way out and was eating at the vegetables I had to be fast before the lord or Guards caught me so i had to chase the cow back, fix the fence up and hide the vegetables. Thats what happened today.

One of the Middle Ages activitys that we could play was Fling the Teacher.

you have to answer questions that have something to do with the topic such as The ‘Great Plague’ there was 15 questions and if you got them all right you would shoot your teacher out of a catapult.

Being the Blacksmith in Dans Village is good and I’ve been making lots of weapons and armor for our Guards. Now that I’ve made heaps of weapons we can take over Mitchell’s and Tyrone’s Village and take all their land and be happy forever..

This is the gown I, Lady Jess will be wearing when Queen Sue visits in a couple of weeks time.

Isn’t it Beautiful?

Being lord is going good, I went to a Joust on Saturday which was exciting  Knight Sam and Brad went really well in the Joust. I went to the Church on Sunday and saw that someone was late! and i had to sit through church which i didnt find very exciting . On Monday i was walking past the farms to see how things were going, i saw crops, fruit and vegetables and people making bread everywhere which was good. On Tuesday i felt like sleeping all day… until i was woken by one of my guards he told me that there was a thief in the castle and they had him in the torture chambers so i had to go down and check it out. On Wednesday I went and watched the knights and guards training their combat skills, i walked over to the Blacksmith to see he was making some good cash also some good weapons. On Thursday I had to stay at the river watching 2 women being ducked in the water by a ducking stool which took all day. On friday I was looking through the market just to see how buisness is going, and that night we had a big feast.

After talking to Lord Dan we decided that this would be our village shield. All of the village guards now must use and wear this shield with honor.

Hello, I’m Maid Jess.
As a Maid of Lord Dan’s village, my job is to take care and clean up around The Mannor to make sure everything is in order.

 
As Lady of Lord Dan’s village, my job is to help Lord Dan take care of our village and make sure everyone is getting ready to pay us their taxes ready for when Queen Sure arrives.

I’m a guard in Lord Daniel’s castle. My job is to protect the Lord Daniel, The Castle and The Village.  I am well trained and I’m a professional mercenary. I’m very well equipped. Some of the guards are peasants and are not very well equipped. I wear Armor and I also have a sword and a shield.
