What did a Chapman do in medieval times?
A medieval Chapman was an itinerant trader. He wandered from village to village selling items he carried in a basket he carried. I take part in 15th century reenactment and portray this aspect of medieval life and i can tell you that carrying 20 kg of stock all day is pretty tough, but good when you get a sale.
What time frame were the medieval times?
410 AD to 1400. ----- The dates most commonly given by historians for the Middle Ages are 476 to 1453. Many historians point out that these dates are too precise, as they give the impression that things changed for people in those years, and so some historians simply use 5th century to 15th century.
What is a Fletcher in medieval times?
The modern surname Fletcher derives from a medieval trade, that of the flechier (Anglo-Norman French), who assembled all the pieces that go to make up arrows.The name comes from the word fleche, an arrow. Medieval longbow arrows were around 32 inches long and anything up to half an inch thick, with three feathers (commonly goose) from the same wing of a bird attached at one end and an iron point at the other. The feathers were cut down to create a triangular or half-shield shape; they had to come from the same wing because they have a natural "twist" and must all turn in the same direction, rotating the arrow in flight.Feathers were both glued and tied on with a tight wrapping of fine silk or linen thread. Doing this correctly is a great skill and takes a great deal of practice.From the 11th century, almost all English arrow points had a socket - this distinguishes them from Continental points which often only have a flat tang. Points came in a wide range of shapes, mainly designed to cause maximum blood loss when hunting wild animals, or to penetrate armour in warfare.

Today it is common to think of the Western canon as it stood in the 19th and early 20th centuries as narrow because most of the works?
in the canon were written by white, male authors. This limited perspective excluded the voices and experiences of women, people of color, and other marginalized groups. This narrow view of the canon has been challenged and expanded in recent years to include a more diverse range of voices and perspectives in literature and art.
