WHERE DID THEY SLEEP?

Servants are peasants like me who work in the lord's manor house. We have to do the cooking,

cleaning, laundering, and looking after children.

We servants generally sleep in cold, damp towers with nothing to warm ourselves but small lamps. whereas personal attendants slept on the floor of our lord and lady's quarters, where they had blankets and access to the hearth.

We servants are the teachers for the young boys, called pages.The subjects include writing, music, dancing, religion and at the age of 14 pages would become squires.

  • A castle would have had as many as 150 servants working for the lord's family
  • Many of the Medieval peasants who worked in the castles were women.
  • Some of the servants, like the ladies in waiting and the pages, were likely to come from noble backgrounds themselves.

CLOTHING

We servants wore simple plain dress-like tunics with a shirt underneath. We often wear fur underneath to keep ourselves warm during the cold times of the year.

Wealthy women and noblewomen wear tunics, or sleeveless dresses that come to the floor and are colourful and, as time went on, often jewels and ornamental bands were added to cuffs, neck lines, and the bottom half of dresses. laws of the time prevente us poor from dressing fashionably. These laws determin that the us poor could not wear expensive veils, or the colors gold and purple. Breaking the law brought severe punishment on us.

THE FEUDAL SYSTEM

MORNING ROUTINE

The day begins at the sound of a guard's trumpet. While the lord and lady are in bed, we prepared for the day and light fires in the kitchen and great hall. Dinner preparations also begin early as it is served between 10 a.m. and noon. We sweep floors and cleaned wash basins. After the lord and lady vacate their apartments, chambermaids empty chamber pots and wash basins, and the laundress begins washing clothes and bedding.
