The Tale of Lady Godiva
Lady Godiva supposably rode naked on a horse through the streets of Coventry even though there was never any real proof of this event. The story keeps changing throughout the years.






Back then they would feast for days and everyone would look forward to all the food, especially the meat. There were fires, freshly made food brought out straight from the kitchen, bread and different kinds of meat. The king would usually give these feasts and a lot was expected of him.








The king probably had the hardest job of all. He was expected to give his people the best which included slaves, land, good times at feasts, and if he didn't he could wake up dead in the morning.


All the foods that the people ate at the feasts and in everyday life they grew themselves and/or killed it.


Most houses were small made out of wood and staw. Houses usually had a hole in the roof so that the smoke from the fire that was held in the middle would be let out.
