Role 3
You are a lord and chief noblemen. Lords controlled a large amount of land and on this land the lord
made all the laws and legal decisions. Even the King did not have the power to rule over the
decisions of the Lord and his land. The Lord had to provide protection, support, money and knights
or soldiers. Children inherited the Lord's land and ruled it if he did not break his oath to the king.
Each lord may have their own colors, flags, or crest.
