Agnes Webster, Age 15

 March 12, 1349

It's another hard day living in Europe in the 14th Century. I just snuck out of my field in which I was working to write this down. You see, we have a feudalism system here. Feudalism is a system of government used in the medieval times. The King or the Monarch gives land (called fiefs) to nobles or bishops. Peasants had to work on these pieces of land, but were given protection and a place to live. I belong to a peasant family and we all must work day in and out, laboring on the land. We do not have much power as much of it belongs to the church and the king.The Noble who owns the land was kind and is generous enough to take good care of us. We live on this land and are protected when enemies may invade or attack us. It's time to get back to work on the land. Have thy good day!
