Lord Ruthven

Laughter of young men floated through the air like chimes on a breezy day as they sparred amongst each other near the barracks of Highgarden. As young Lords of the Reach, they all had dreams of finding glory for themselves as knights. Yet only one of them had been anointed, the future Lord of Highgarden, Mace Tyrell, whom many believed his Lord father had bought the title rather than earned it by his own merit. Having just turned seven-and-ten not three moons prior, one could see glimpses of the

In Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ and William Golding’s ‘Lord of the Flies’ both Lady Macbeth’s and Simon’s worth are greatly misunderstood. Simon’s misunderstood worth allows him to witnesses the loss of control of the others, resulting in his realization of the darkness within humanity. Lady Macbeth’s misunderstood worth crafts her strive for power, consequently blinding her of her evil, creating her insanity.

with upper class citizens. Knights were in charge of protecting a lord or vassal as well, and for that reason they were highly respected (Nardo 31). The lords and Kings were the most important people in the Middle Ages, and anyone who would protect the, was greatly respected by all. These knights were models for everyone on their land (Smith, Andrew 2). Not only were they models and heroic figures for their jobs of protecting the lord and King, but they were also considered extremely brave and some

He got his manor from a feudal contract that was called the fief which was a pledge to a lord or king that he would be their vassal for life. In exchange for this promise, the vassal got protection from his enemies for life as well as an

to pens in the manor fold so the lord could profit from the manure (it was very valuable because it was used as fertilizer) (Gies and J Gies 35). Wool became a backbone to medieval economy, and even lords, abbots and bishops started to count wealth in terms of sheep (Johnson). Wool became taxed and this helped the King fund his military endeavors (Johnson). These goods helped support the different ranks of feudalism.

homosexuality was not tolerated. The case against Lord Audley, Earl of Castlehaven, represents the treatment of those convicted in engaging in sexual behavior with men. Not only was sodomy frowned upon because it went against God’s laws, but it was also considered a crime against honor.

Within peasants, there were two main groups of people, the serfs and the freemen. Both were employed by the lords. And serfs were people that paid more fees, and had less rights.
