Hundreds of years ago, in the 1300's life was different from now. In Social Studies, we learnt about that.
There was a pyramid. At the top rested the kings and/or Queens, bellow them were the military, the lords, Nobles. Then came the knights, they protected the higher ones, but protected the land along side the nobles and lords. Lastly, the Peasants, the poor.
While the Peasants worked. Day and night to live, their river water polluted with body parts- blood- as well as their waste. The well water was probably in the same condition.
If one was to disobey the law they'd be left in a stock- for people to hit them with stuff. Used on the well to die, maybe have their thumb crushed or body stretched. If you got accused of witch craft you'd be hung on the stacks. Burnt alive.
In Social Studies we also learnt about the village. What it was like, they'd live in a fenced off area, the gate/s locked at night to stop enemies from attacking. A river or a well for water source, farms/land to gain food and recourse. We then had to make a version of our own
