Village life

Medieval peasant costume


Well hello, my filthy friends
by the time you're reading this i might be dead buried in cold mud mixed with animal dug but before i die i wanted to tell you a little story about the village life. So before i start the story, let be introduce myself, my name is John a handsome young peasant.
 Did you always wanted to live in a place where everywhere smelled like animal dug and your own?
Well if you do, this is the right place to live in!
The village people are all weak and poor, we are controlled by our angry lord and always have to pay taxes to the manor house, which is such a stupid thing to do.
None of us could either read or write and also couldn't understand latin.We make our own house by twigs, straw and animal dug. how did we make a wall? we putted layers of animal dug in the frame made by twigs and put all of them together. Every families has about 6 to 10 people in each house and i have 7. I wake up at 6:00am and drink ale with a piece of bread. Do you know ale? its a alchol and it tastes filthy good! I eat it 5times a day including breakfast,lunch and dinner. I mostly farm everyday when my sons and daughters are playing madly. We mostly eat pttage,ale,bread,egg,fish and cheese for our meals. i wonder if they still eat it in the future. Well do they?
We peasants spend all of our lives in the smae village because we need to get permision from the lord and if we dare to run away we would be punished and don't ask me what happens to them because last time i went there and it was one of the scene i would remember for enternity. our clothes were always filthy and ripped from farming and we lived with our animals in one house. In winter when it is deadly cold, we would sew ourself to our underclothhes and cover our body wih fat from dead animals to keep us warm. Our lords always nags that we smell like dead meat and animal dug but why blamming us? Its the king's fault, for making us to pay taxes and live like wild pigs.
I hope you future peasants are not living an ugly life as we are now and the knights would be coming to kill you any moment. So good bye my friends and live well, that's all i can say

By John.
