TC has never been on a farm...
Oh, looks like he has... but after he was found both milking those horned, single-uddered cows and saddling the tall, two-legged, feathered horses the farm had to let him go. He baked a haycake to get back in the farmer's good graces, but the farmer didn't appreciate fine cuisine like that.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
Out on the field at about 5:30. Back breaking work, drinking a gallon of water every few hours and you pray you get what you were supposed to get done.
The only good thing was the food. By the time you got done the food could have been shit, but by then, anything tasted good.

Time for another King Edward.
I've got an old book, I think titled The Age of Chivalry ? Most of historical accounts of the Marcher Lords and their Castles on the Welsh border. A lot of very obscure stuff like lists of food, animals, tools or whatever tribute the Lords were receiving. It's History Nerdy good.
