I love these detailed posts because they really bring to life the everyday stuff (well, maybe not everyday for those who weren't born of noble blood!). It's also good to get an idea of what a manor house looked like - I am wondering about the stable for servants though!!!Jules Frusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207281934232383811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-47337499078708738092009-08-30T17:03:26.248+01:002009-08-30T17:03:26.248+01:00Thanks, Gabriele.

At least I usually have something about Ed II I can pull out of the hat when technology lets me down. :) And thanks for the HTML editor tip.Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-33737530741796834562009-08-30T14:51:38.652+01:002009-08-30T14:51:38.652+01:00Fun replacement post.

Perhaps the scribe had written one monk after hearing it, and then realised Edward had eaten with many of them, so added the change! <br /><br />Unless the one monk was special. Or perhaps he took his cassock off to dig a ditch. Did they wear cassocks or is that modern version? *smiles*<br /><br />Sorry you lost your post A.

Interesting to try and imagine the layout of the manor.<br /><br />Vickie: thanks for stopping by, and the kind words!<br /><br />Caroline: welcome to the blog - great to see you here! You're absolutely right about the details, and I've learned so much about Ed II and those close to him from reading his chamber and wardrobe accounts.Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-34312262818059125922009-08-27T03:01:34.889+01:002009-08-27T03:01:34.889+01:00One thing is for sure.

I've learned to write anything longer than about two lines in Word first.<br /><br />Given that the record specifies that the king's chamber adjoined the hall, does that imply that the queen's chamber and the knights' chamber didn't?Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-58342346237866956372009-08-26T15:35:53.291+01:002009-08-26T15:35:53.291+01:00A stable for the peasants!!!!
