Good Morrow, Traveler! I am Sir Henry, a knight and
the second son of Sir Bartholomew of Ives. I live in a
grand manor with my wife of seventeen years, Katherine,
and my four children, Jacob, aged 15, Sarah, aged 12,
Amy, aged 9, and Nicholas, aged 7. Jacob is studying to
be a knight under the care of my lord, the Earl of
Wedgewick. Nicholas will join his brother in knightly
training in a year or so, under the tutelage of my
brother, Robert. Katherine is busy overseeing the
preparations for Sarah's upcoming marriage to the son of
Lord John. My wife and I are certain Cedric will make an
excellent husband for Sarah, and Sarah will surely agree
once she meets him.
Ah, but you would like to learn about life in the
Middle Ages would you not? I can tell you how the
government works, and how we
communicate with people who are far away. Being a
knight myself, I can also tell you how I became a
knight and a bit about weapons, armor, and heraldry.
And since I come from a noble family (all knights do you
know), I can tell you about our
daily life, including where we live, what we wear,
and what we do in our free time. Of course, I can also
direct you to other
links about noblemen, castles, and knights as well.
'Tis your choice my friend.
