What it Represents
Tu fortior quam cr, or You are stronger than you think.
The color, black, represents dependability or grief. The charge is the Eagle, symbolizing strength, judiciousness, protections, or a person of noble nature. The Mantling is dramatic and contains a side-looking silver knight as it's helm, symbolizing a virtuous knight and protector. The Supporters are stags, symbolizing peace and harmony, or someone who will not fight unless provoked. |
Feudal Skit

The Feudal System
The Feudal System was a government of the Middle Ages that was based on land ownership. Everybody played a role in the Feudal System, from the serfs to the Lord. The Lord gave land to the nobles, the highest ranked people, and in return the king was given soldiers for the army. The Serfs, or the peasants, did almost all of the farming, and had to give away almost all of it to the Lord. The serfs weren't treated fair, but they were still offered protection.The Feudal System developed because Vikings and other barbarians threatened everyone. Plus, the lords needed to protect their land from other nobles. I think that the Feudal system wasn't very fair. First of all the Lord gets all the power, and almost all of the serf's crops. When you think about it it's like you are living your life for some other person, not for yourself.

Code of Chivalry
Why Was it Important?
The Code of Chivalry was a set of rules that included standards that knights had to follow. The Code of Chivalry was important because knight would not be knights without it. Knights are supposed to be honorable, and be loyal. Without the Code of Chivalry, knights could take over the manor. If you think about it, they are the ones with the weapons after all. Plus during battle, the knights had to follow the code of Chivalry. They had to be fair or else whats so special about being a knight? Being a knight is an honor so if they can't keep their honor then why be a knight?

Knight Poem
With giant swashbuckling weapons I fight.
To win for the kingdom as a knight. While my opponents look at me fearfully I think about my Code of Chivalry To not attack an unarmed foe, My my, we have got a long way to go I started as an innocent infant, But now I rise to defeat the brilliant, With kingdom's power as I go, I defeat my weary foes, With my head and sword held high, I prepare to face the worst; to die, Yes my job is very unsafe, But it proves me very brave, And one day I might say goodbye, While fighting I may not survive, And even if I die in war, My honor intact will still be assured.
