I loved the video game Joust which leads me to believe I would have been a championship-level jouster.

No hot dogs to the face.
FMB doesn't exist. People you don't like are likely to die soon. |

Depends actually.
Middle class women were expected to be able to run their husband or fathers business when they were away. If a woman married to a craftsman became a widow and she showed enough skill in the work she could continue to do her husbands trade and use his touchmark. |

I'm sure semen collection techniques were in their infancy back then. Not a good time to live.

No fair, poll is mostly designed for men. Like about the tights. I love some of the female fashions back then—especially the Tudor period. That and chivalry. It would also be cool to tie a handkerchief to a jousting stick, going on a hunt to catch fresh meat. Hanging out at court.
On the other hand, those tight fitting corsets would be insufferable. |
