Medieval Occupation Entry 5
My life compared to the life of the person I chose is very different. First my mom has not run out on me and I have a lot of siblings. I am also not so strict on the culture like the medieval times. Our Government is also way way different. We don't have kings and Queens like my character. We have our President and we get to vote on what we want and not what our king wants. And last we don't have jousting we have baseball, football, basketball, etc!

Medieval Occupation Entry 4
Today we had an event. It was jousting. Although we could not see all the best we heard everything that went on. My friends were there including everyone else. We had, I think, the whole kingdom there. It happened in an open green field close to my house. It started at about half an hour after lunch. I am surprised that our lord the King wanted to have such an exciting tournament at this time. I think what happened in the joust was Sir Tink and Sir Danish were in the final and Sir Danish's horse stumbled and did not have a fast start so he was knocked off. So that means that Sir Tink won. I mean he was the underdog and no one likes him. I do not know if I like him. Sir Tink got more land from the king and a bigger role in the Army. I'd say he is about the luckiest man in the world.

Medieval Occupation Entry 3
Hello this is Billy Parcher. Since I never had much take to tell who my friends were I am going to tell you today. The friends I have are Richard Wash III, Zadok Bone and last Zeus Smith. I have a lot of other friends but these are the best ones I have. Which reminds me I have to go to one of their houses for a birthday. I will have to cross all that hilly land just to get there. That is all there is these days just hills every where but the market. Well I must eat lunch now which is some porridge with a little meat my dad could get from the market. Ah and don't forget the beer! Well this is my favorite meal!

Medieval Occupation Entry 2
Hey this is Billy Parcher. Here are some of the things about our government. The government in this time is monarchy. The Kingship right now is King Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine. I say he is an alright king My Father doesn't like and for this one reason. A law that my father hates (could say the same for myself) is the law which doesn't a low anyone to make "adulterine castles". My Father thinks this is is because King Henry II doesn't want anyone to challenge or equal the kingship. A rule that my father does agree with is if anyone he made sure that sheriffs, who had fallen under the domination of locals be made sure that they knew that they were royal officials. I know this is way off topic but sometimes I wonder what religion we are. My Father always just blows the question off but I want to know. I do have a couple of ideas. We are either Christian, Catholic, or we don't have a religion at all. Well back to our kingship. I do not think that the peasants are mad anymore but that is all.
