Kimmy What exactly do the people who live in the castle do. What are their daily jobs and daily activities? What makes up their life?
Peter Kimmy,
Merlin will most likely post a reply for you.
But just have a wee look down a few places under your question.
The site is only like a book, have a look through its pages. You will find most of the stuff you want is already there.
Happy hunting.
Merlin The questions you asked are not very specific, so I can't provide specific answers. As Peter suggested, you'll find heaps of information about daily life in a castle if you skip through the discussions in this forum...
For a general impression – this is what the poet Oswald von Wolkenstein (1377 - 1445) wrote about his life on castle Hauenstein (South Tirol):
«My life is a misery, I have to worry about my bread, I don't see anything except calfs, goats, rams, cows and clumsy people, black, ugly, sooty from heating; I don't hear anything except the cries of the donkeys and the peacocks, and the castle is always full of sorrow and bad news.»
[translated from J. Zeune, Burgen – Symbole der Macht, p. 171]
A bit pessimistic perhaps, but living in a small castle in the mountains sure wasn't pure luxury at the time...
