wanna know who you would have been in 1400AD?

take the test!

this is me:
The Harlequin

You scored 34% Cardinal, 43% Monk, 50% Lady, and 43% Knight!
You are a mystery, a jack-of-all-trades. You have the king’s ear, but also listen to murmurings of the common folk. You believe in the value of force and also literature. Truly you are the puzzlement of the age. :smiley:

The Paladin
You scored 21% Cardinal, 48% Monk, 52% Lady, and 54% Knight!

You are highly moral but also don’t shy away from using force if your lord commands it. You are honourable to the point that you would readily sacrifice yourself for a noble cause. Your name will be the subject of tales and song for generations, however their concentration will be less on your deeds in life as on your martyrdom. You scored high as both the Knight and the Lady. You can try again to get a more precise description of the Knight or the Lady, or you can be happy that you’re an individual.

The Cardinal
You scored 57% Cardinal, 33% Monk, 41% Lady, and 45% Knight!
You are the real power behind the throne. No one dares dispute or refuse you. Which is good because that’s how you get things done. You are also, however, completely corrupt and highly immoral. This doesn’t bother you in the least as you lounge around your rich comfortable surroundings, reveling in wealth and authority.

I’m a Harlequin too.

henke, better change your signature to: a cardinal to remember…:wink:

Me:

The Prioress
You scored 23% Cardinal, 66% Monk, 52% Lady, and 35% Knight!
You are a moral person and are also highly intellectual. You like your
solitude but are also kind and helpful to those around you. Guided by a
belief in the goodness of mankind you will likely be christened a saint
after your life is over.



Just call me Mother Ad. :smiley: :laughing:

“christened a saint”? Beatified, surely?

Bless you, my child.

I wouldn’t have been any of those things.

I’m of English and German descent so if I were English in those days I would either have been killed by plague or off rampaging around Normandy as a lowly archer with Henry’s boys where I probably would have died from dysentary. Maybe none of the above.

If I were German I would either have died from plague or it would depend on which particular little kingdom in the Holy Roman Empire I lived as to what else I would have been doing.

I’d like to think I would have been a musician though in either case.

No I can’t :boggle: It doesn’t have the same ring to it…

I would have been a monk!

Fortunately there are no signs of that hairstyle yet.

Monk too:

You scored 5% Cardinal, 79% Monk, 50% Lady, and 35% Knight!

You live a peaceful, quiet life. Very little danger comes your way and you live a long time. You are wise and modest, but also stagnant. You have little comfort, little food and have taken a vow of silence. But who needs chatter when just sitting in the cloister of your abbey with The Good Book makes you perfectly content.

And no sign of the hairstyle either?

I was also the Prioress, but I scored really high as the Monk. My dad was a monk for 11 years, so I guess that doesn’t totally surprise me. No, he didn’t have the haircut - called a toncture, also referred to as the “cootie racetrack”.

I puzzle a lot of people.

NO WAY! Religion bores me to tears! Must be because I said I’d rather read and back then it was mostly the religious people who learned to read - the rest were too busy trying to grow enough food to feed the family and just stay alive.

As Fly said, it’s more realistic to say I’d have been dead of the plague or possibly die in childbirth since they didn’t know about germs in those days and with no birth control women had kids every couple of years until they were worn out. A few were sterile or just didn’t have more than one (I think they were RH negative so the first one lived but the other babies died - just a theory) but the rest of the women just never had any time for anything else but breeding, cooking, making clothes, making candles, and taking care of the chickens!

Give me the 21st century - freedom, computers, and cars!!
