1300 - New Beginnings

"Don't worry, my love," assured Byrhtnoth, "money might be tight but we'll get through it. We have a roof over our heads, and most importantly, each other; the rest will come with time." He smiled at Olyff as she raised her hanging head to look up at him. She sighed deeply and said,

"You're right. This is only the beginning of our legacy, and it could be so much worse!"

And so started their year with great vigor and enthusiasm. Byrhtnoth knew all the best fishing spots in the general vicinity and spent many mornings reeling in any fish he could catch, at the river near their home and sometimes at the small lake a short distance from their property. There were few nibbles on his lure in the first few months of 1300 so he was only bringing back enough for a filling dinner for himself and his wife.

Olyff took time to learn and get confident on the family horse, Beauty. At first getting some bruises and saddle rashes, and somehow getting onto the saddle backwards, but as the year went on she learned to move in time with the horse, travelling to the market in the village with ease. She waited for the right moment to plant some seeds but with the torrential rains that plagued the early months of the year she had to stay patient.

1300 to be continued in my blogspot post here!

Bonus: Silliest picture of the 1300!

Two kids recoil from the smell that came from Byrhtnoth as they ran by him <.<

Ultimate Decades Challenge Introduction

Welcome to the little medieval land of Praaven!

Our tall tale strays far from the stone walls that surround the King's castle, past the orange rooves of the townhouses and down the slow river, bringing you to the small village of Lughaven. But in reality, our setting is even outside the borders of the half abandoned village on a tiny farmstead recently inherited by two peasant folk with hope in their eyes for a better life.

Meet our young couple, Olyff and Byrhtnoth Chapman. Their story was a quick one, with Olyff's parent's dying wish was to see her married to a strong and local peasant boy. In comes Byrhtnoth with a timely inheritance of a small hut with some rich farming land from a recently deceased uncle.

And so they arrived to this humble abode with nothing but a few hundred shillings in their pockets, a few seeds to start up a farm, and an open heart for each other. How will their story play out? Will they be able to work their way out of peasantry? Watch how it all plays out over time!

Want to know more about our founders? Check out my blogspot here! I will be posting more details for each year there as I like the layout better there :P

Edit: I have been reading and watching a lot of other people's UDC stories and I want to highlight that as much as I'm trying to roleplay the medieval days I recognise that my story will not be extremely accurate to how the middle ages were in real life. I started this challenge almost a full year ago without the knowledge of serfdom or that an earl would be the true owner of the property you live on. I just have peasant sims and a king that they look up to but the living conditions are just as harsh as they truly were irl :P This is all for fun!
