cazar Explanation: I would guess it means hunted. Peasants tended to poach on their masters' lands to get some meat. |

peer agreement (net): +3retrieved Explanation: just a guess, considering odds are peasants were way too busy tending the land to be doing any hunting... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2004-06-28 19:14:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There is also the issue of who was allowed to hunt... The members of the nobility had the most free time of any class during the Middle Ages. The favorite pastimes of most of the nobility were hunting and falconry. The nobles kept the forests for themselves, making it illegal for any common person to hunt in the forest. Only nobles were permitted by law to kill fallow deer, roe, wild boar, and red deer. A typical hunting party included noblewomen as well, unless the prey was the dangerous wild boar. Hunting dogs also made up part of the party. These dogs were trained to find and run down prey. Falconry was also a popular sport and each castle had a falconer whose job was to capture, train, and care for hawks as if they were human beings. A good hawk was prized almost as much as a good warhorse and members of the nobility were known to make pilgrimages to plead for the health of a sick hawk. Hawks were used to hunt herons, ducks, cranes, partridges, and pheasants. The hawk sat on the heavy leather glove of the hunter (or huntress) until prey was sighted. Then, its hood and leg straps, or jesses, were removed and the hawk quickly sighted the prey, killed it, and then returned to its owner. http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/history/middleages/nlife.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2004-06-28 19:40:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Collins confirms it...
