Dark Ages:

It was hard for people to live during dark ages because there was death going on everywhere. So people had to live in Monasteries. Monasteries were places that were the safest to the people at that time. Still people wished to escape the threats of the outside world. And monks were the guards of the monastries. They held educations for common people because they were always scared. One of the monks who helped people a lot were called St. Benedict. He was actually from a noble family, but left to become a hermit. St. Benedict believed that one will cause you to drive to sin.

Barbarians: Barbarians were very strong. And they vikings too. They were like the strongest of all world. Because of their power, people at that time could do nothing. They tried to fight but it was not efficient. And the vikings were from the north. Norway archaeologists found some cool things. The cool things were that the vikings died when they were on their ship. So things like storms led to the death of the vikings.

 During Middle Ages in North Europe, people mainly ate foods made of cattle and sheep. In South Europe, they ate foods like fruits, vegetables, and herbs for food. But they didn't eat butter. They use olive oils. When they were young, people learned how to eat. For example, they learned their table manners and where they sat. They used spoons and knifes for eating.

 People started to build stone castles from the 9th century. It was held together with a thing called mortar. Mortar had ability to hold bricks of the castle together. Walls of the castle could be as thick as thirty feet. It was this hard and strong to be protected from other countries attacking. People could attack castles in many ways. They could use corssbows and connons. They also used catapults.

 Medieval warrior used various weapons. Their favorite weapon was a sword. And there were many types of swords. Swords got longer as time passed. A sword called shining sword was a very famous sword used during the 1460's. One small weapon they used was a weapon called dagger. Also there was a weapon called lance. Lance were shaped like clubs with spikes. Archers used bow and arrows.

 Commoners had hard life. They had to pay high amount of taxes to the country. And to do that, they had to work very hard. They wore clothes made up of straw, leather smock. Their hat weighed 2-3 lbs. And their shirt was made of cotton. In their house their were only one to two rooms.

King Eric in the warfare… Armies lined up. Silence for a while, and the war starts. His eyes round like a soccer ball, and big like a basketball, eyes seem like to pop out. It looks fearless. King Eric commanding his armies to attack the enemy with his smile on his mouth. “Go! Let’s win this battle and drink all night! It is loud like the sound of instrument and very tough and rough. King Eric on his horse with his tall and fat body with the sharp sword on his hand. He looks so handsome. He has a chain mail on his body with a golden boots him wearing. His Silver helmet is shinning like the sun in the sky. His pretty much relaxed. He is very confident and can see this by the smile on his face. He is very proud of this army. As I said, in the horseback with the sword on his hand, sticking it to the enemies. They die with their big eyes staring at King Eric. But King Eric is thinking that this war is boring. He is thinking of doing archery in this back yard and doing chess with his friends and servants. And they win by the last 1000 arrows they shot toward the enemy base. King Eric praying to God to thanks with his two big furry hands together.
