This chronicle, if true, sets precedent for purge style retribution by enslaved peasants.
Burn, rape, and pillage.
England, France, and Spain.
Kings, queens, and barons.
Castles, knights, and squires.
Fiefdom, serf, and noble.
Ransom, rest, and relaxation.
It’s the year 1300s. You own a castle. You didn’t die during childbirth.
Besides subsistence farming, trapping, water fetching, hunting with falcons, and other questionable histories.
France vs England vs Spain vs Portugal, vs Saracens, vs Romans, vs.
Plus growing enough oats to feed a regiment of calvary, men, horses, archers, commoners.
Troops, knights, and squires.
I don’t buy it.
Fake History.
