While discussing the Feudal System and general life in Medieval Times with the kids during History today, it became so clear that Nolan is a man born out of his time. Here are some excerpts from one of our books that brought me to this conclusion:
(regarding sons of a castle lord) "Reading and writing were thought of no importance; in fact, it was usually considered a waste of time to learn such things."
(regarding the preparation for a knighting ceremony) "To get ready for this ceremony, first, he bathed. This may not seem worth mentioning, but in those days one very rarely took a bath, sometimes not for years."
(regarding table manners) "There were no forks nor spoons nor plates nor saucers nor napkins. Everyone ate with his fingers and licked them or wiped them on his clothes."
Nolan would not have just survived in this era, he would have thrived!
