    Fell in love.

    Fell in love.
    Falling in love in the middle ages was quite different to falling in love in the 21st centuary. In the Middle Ages, most of the time, women did not have a choice whom they marry. Girls were as young as 12 when they are to be wed and boys were as young as 17 when choosing their bride. Arrangments were set by the parents of the child. The wife was sometimes chosen when the child is even younger than 12. The couple are wed to stay together forever; even if the man is unfaithful.

    The pigsty

    The pigsty
    Londoners (citizens of London) were aloud to keep a pigsty infront of their homes. Depending on what animals, is what your religon or heraldic defines. Laws include to keep animals, such as public disturbance, political life in the the city, city government and the area of authority. Sheep were most important, their wool could have been used or sold to tailors. Oxen, cows, dogs and donkey's were also important but for the economy.

    Best cow in town!

    Best cow in town!
    Bought the best cow in town? That was considered a job. Well, selling the milk was considered a job. There were many jobs in medieval times, not as many as now, but for back in them days, just enough to get by throughout their short lives.

    Lodgings for rent.

    Lodgings for rent.
    Most houses are cold, damp and dark. Roofs evem sometimes would fly off due to the wind. Lodgings were not as supportive as 21st centuary houses. Atleast our homes could keep our roofs.

    DANGER! DANGER!

    DANGER! DANGER!
    I broke my leg. I couldn't work, or even yet, look for work. It was close to the end of the year and i was going broke... fast. I already didn't have enough to supply for myself and keep me alive. I am not sure what the future would hold for my life. Not being able to look for work, made my life a difficult challenge. Money was a significant part of Medieval times. Even though it wasn't much, it still made a contribution to surviving a year.

    Freedom.

    Freedom.
    Being free could not only mean being free from all bad things in medieval times. It could also mean death. Death was mostly experienced at a young age. 20 was considered old in medieval times!
