"THROUGHOUT THE FESTIVAL"

When strolling through our shire thou wilt come across the "Web Sight". Be Warned -- the Family is squabbling as to who should be cleaning up those cobwebs, and why! Robin Hood beware! Slash & Dott Matrix Calm take care!

The Sheriff has his whole Family in town, so he and Robin Hood have come to play chess and be put to the test, Tiz a score to be settled to see who's the best. The Pirates do sing and their swords often ring with combat that's not always in jest. Be it true that Captain Alfonse Wilhelm Petardand Lord Scrope of Bolton's Retinue have other ideas in mind for them, and thee???

Herald

A Herald was not an occupation that someone trained for, but rather a job that was usually the appointment by a king or noble. Medival Herald or Harker Most often a domestic servant in a castle would be elevated in rank by receiving this appointment from his master.

The Herald (or Harker) would declare announcements on behalf of the king to the public. Normally this was done on a given day when the public would assemble at the base of a castle tower and the Herald would shout out the news and proclamations or the Herald would do his job in the local townsquare. It was the responsibility of the Herald to inform the public of what was going on. (Note that many newspapers to this day are called "The Herald")

The only requirements one needed to perform this job successfully was a good speaking voice, the ability to read and write and obedience to a local lord. Two of the most famous men in the Medieval Ages who held the role of a Herald or Harker are Geoffrey Chaucer (author of the Canterbury Tales) and Nigel Gray.
