In the past I've done blogs on Western Words. I'm going to do same thing here, but use words commonly known in the Middle Ages. I've gotten these words and definitions from Sherrilyn Kenyon's book EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES: The British Isles from 500 to 1500. (and I had no idea this book was by Sherrilyn until I just now looked to see who wrote it).
So, what do you do? Match the words with the definitions. As in 1. Z 2. Q 3. G. There won't be a special drawing for today, but leaving your guesses will make you eligible for the plaque I'm giving away for my June prize (see right). Have fun and good luck!
