Role 2
You are a knight! Becoming a knight was part of the feudal agreement. In
return for military service, the knight received a fief. The knight was one of
three types of fighting men during the middle ages: Knights, Foot Soldiers,
and Archers. The medieval knight was the equivalent of the modern tank. He
was covered in multiple layers of armor, and could plow through foot soldiers
standing in his way. No single foot soldier or archer could stand up to any
one knight.
