Dear journal,
Feudalism is a great system that does not let you move up the social class. Feudalism lets me to have serfs in my castle working for me while i go play some chess or kill some dear. I lend a part of my manor to knights in exchange for protection against the vikings. If vikings do come, me and my family which includes my wife and kids will go to the keep while the knights go fight them off. My job is to make sure the king pays his bill and payments. I also have to discuss many laws and have lots of meetings with the king. I do enjoy my job it allows me to have plenty of free time to do things that i enjoy doing.

Dear Diary,
The catholic church is a very important part in our Medieval society. People are very superstitious and because of that the pope and church have become very powerful. The church see’s that the people are very religious and use’s a method named indulgences to make a little more money. Indulgences is a technique that allows you to give the church some money and they would forgive your sins.I have personally experienced the churches wonderful sin forgiveness ceremony. The church also highly encouraged tithe. Tithe is when you sacrifice 10% of your income to save your and families soul. If you are to do that your soul is said to live peacefully in the afterlife.Even though me and my family barely get by we at least know that we will live peacefully in the afterlife. Pope Gregory VII has a lot of problem with our king, King Henry IV. In fact he even excommunicated him once which was a very dark time for me and my family. Excommunication is the popes most powerful weapon, It means that you will not be able to go to heaven when you die. The king had to stand in the snow and beg on his knees till the pope finally forgave him.

Dear Diary
The crusades were caused by three major religions that all wanted the holy land. The crusades is a holy war usually requested by the pope. During the first crusades a new group of arabs took control of jerusalem. It was a devastating time for all of us. They closed the city to jewish and christian pilgrims. The pope found a solution and called a crusade (a holy war). This crusade became one of many more crusades to retake jerusalem. During the crusade 30,000 men left to go fight for their holy land. Most of the men were knights and serfs After two months of lots of fighting and blood the people won back their land from the muslims.Sadly, a great amount of our community did not return. While fighting Everyone wore a red cross. Since everyone would were the red cross you wouldn't know which team you were on.

This is a very devastating time for all of us, the black death or bubonic death is taking over all. The chinese brought rats over during the trade. These rats brought deadly fleas and eventually the rats died. The fleas however did not, and they needed blood so they went on human blood. Hundreds of people would die a day and Physicians do not know how to cure it. Symptoms were buboes, pins and needles, fever and more. They say that blood-letting can help but it is a very painful process. Some of the Symptoms were chills, pins and needles, Headache, Fatigue or malaise Muscle aches and more. Most people advise to stay inside to lock all doors and windows, But on person thought different. His name is Nostradamus. He against other physicians advice says that you should get more fresh air and open your windows, take more shower, and be more sanitary
