You have encouraged your husband to stay at home. Many of your friends have left with your "Lord" to go on Crusade. The Lord's son has taken over control of our Manor and as we thought, life has become much worse. He not only beats men, but women and children as well. We hate him so much, and every night pray for forgiveness for the anger in our hearts.

We hear that this disease approaches closer and closer. It sounds horrible and it kills so many people, we are really scared and we pray every night so we may be spared God's Wrath.

The English are invading!!! We as french people are apparetnly helpless against their archers as they defeat us at every turn. We hear they are evil and do terrible things, we are scared and pray every night.

Disease has Struck, it's horrible, people get these black bulges on their neck, groin, and armpits that are very painful, they have a fever and if someone is lucky they fall into a coma and die, most people end up having violent seizures. Everyone who has gotten sick has died. We are scared but there is nothing to do but continue on and pray. Our town elder has died, we thought he was the most religious amongst us, If God's Wrath came for him what hope do we have?

My grandchildren have become sick, I care for them knowing that I'll probably be next, and I pray

My husband is helping to bury people in the mass grave outside town, It feels like we are doing something unholy, burying lots of people in one grave, but we simply can't dig enough holes. We continue to pary

My oldest son and his entire family have died. We can't even bury everyone, we just burn the house down where they lay, we continue to pray.

My youngest son has died, I tried to get the priest to give the last rites but he wouldn't even open the door, has God forsaken us? We pray

People have discovered that the jews have caused this disease, so we rounded them all up and burned them alive, just like they did in Basel, Switzerland, but the disease continues, are we praying right?

The priest has died, is this really God's Wrath, or is the church wrong? I Don't know if I should pray or not.

Arguably great news, Word has just come that the old lord has died, and so has our young lord and his entire family. Since they are dead we are no longer held to our obligation of servitude, we are free.

Today is the first day someone did not die, it appears my husband and I have survived the disease. It is also today that news has come, the King is asking for volunteers to be trained to fight in the army, my husband wishes to join, but I want to move to the city and look for jobs, with the disease killing so many people we hear their are numerous job opportunities paying large amounts of money. We could start anew. What should we do?


 * Join the Army || Move to the city ||
 * The army was a way to go if one wanted advancement in society. Glory in combat could net one titles and land, in addition victories over your enemy let you loot the field, or cities captured, leading to great wealth. Peasants in some cases were able to join and fight as infantry men or archers. || Following the plague there is a serious shortage of labor, meaning the worker had a great deal of power in demanding more money and better conditions in the workforce. this causes a massive increase in the middle class. As money and cities gain importance, they are able to take power from the kings. ||
