hi everyone

thank you all very much for your replies! this is my first major subject and the first one to have more than 1 reply.

i didn't know that this subject would bring on discussions of nobility. here is my input in medieval times it was not just the nobility that read! in some cases (though very few) poor people read. they might not have had the books and tapestries like the nobility but some had a little knowledge of reading, such as decrees of the land (although these were read out), and later in the 17th century the bible.

note: not all this may be 100% accurate but it's my little bit of knowledge!

anyway keep your posts coming !!

thank you
