This period saw the advent of new ways of cereal farming, which fed the growth of towns, markets and populations, but also fuelled wealth disparities and the rise of lords

Godzilla was usually not very helpful during planting season, but he was also not a threat, preferring to watch from the edges of the fiels.

I try not to be too pedantic when reading historical fiction set in the Middle Ages. I really do. And I resent being told that eleventh-century peasants would not treat the organs of livestock as edible. I understand that the average reader will not be expected to have advanced degrees in history. I would hope that the average reader would be expected to be, uh, not stupid.

* TW: This post contains mention of characters who died during pregnancy/childbirth and suicide.
The dawn of a new century brought with it the winds of change. Alfred and his new bride, Anna, forsook the silk trade to move to Henford-on-Bagley to pursue nectar making. The move did not bring the family luck and on her 20th birthday, Anna lost the battle to typhoid and passed. Alone, and on an abandoned farm with almost no funds, Alfred had to work hard to rebuild his home and his family. Eventually, he met the humble Celestina, who was able to give him two heirs before, in 1409, he too was taken from this life. Going into the 1410s, our two main households - the Brookers and the Cliffords- must fight to keep their legacy alive, as there are very few eligble heirs remaining to pass on the family name. Meanwhile, the new families of Shaw and Bigod are blessed with a number of children to carry on the family name. Come 1420, will we still be able to call this the Brooker legacy?
Marriages [4] 1401 - Alfred and Celestina Brooker 1405 - Walter and Colette Clifford 1406 - Philip and Mary Brooker 1409 - Humphrey and Eva Beaufort

thorns pierced my skin,
my soul a torn wound,
bleeding and healing again and again
like poem of agony and hope,
bitter beauty of a moment that shall never be again. 🍂 // @everlinet
