Dey is da most important soldiers in da medieval army and often fight wif a lance, a crossbow and a sword. A knight gots ta train fo' many years ta become one.

Da Middle Ages is some madness times....and very greedy. Da Feudal System iz how land iz owned. Society iz organised in a pyramid-like system. At da top is da kings an' queens. Dey own all da land, but he gives some of it ta his loyal followers named da vassals. Da vassals is made up o' earls, bishops, abbots ad' counts. Da lords gave some o' they land ta da knights, making dem da most important soldiers in da army. At da bottom of da pyramid is serfs an' freemen; who is poor peasants dat farm da land.

Da Black Death

Da Plague, da Black Death, da Great Pestilence wuzn't as bad as it sounds....okay, maybe it wuz. Da Black Death wuz uh deadly epidemic dat wiped out most o' Europe. It spread like wildfire in da streets o' London, cuz o' low cleanliness and the spreading o' black rats. Victims who caught da plague, at da start of da week, would start to feel a little green.dey would be vomiting an' complaining 'bouta pain in der head.  Then, they would get apple-sized buboes and would start to stink all nashty. Those buboes would be filled wif disgusting black pus dat would spurt. Then, dey would start to bleed from da inside out, which would create bruises an' blots on da skin. And by da end o' da week, BOOM! Dey wuz being carried out dead in carts. Now dats some cra-cra foshizzle!
