Oh vassal, who is your lord? Be you Pict? Briton? Irish? Perhaps even a Northman? Are you a virtuous Christian or a Pagan fluent in the rituals and sacrifices?
You are a vassal lord in the realm of Britain around the late 7th early 8th century. Your duties include raising armies to fight when war comes and keeping peace around the realm, and by that it means brutalizing the peasants and killing bandits.

Name: Yannic Gwallter Cecil
Age: 16
Physical Desc.: Brown-hair, pale, dark-brown eyes, 5'8, scrawny.
Bio: No one really knows who Yannic was born unto. He was found as naught but a babe on the side of the road by a minor Nobleman who had business in Germany. One of his guards made a snarky comment about the "oor peasant child in the side of the road" and the Nobleman ordered the carriage to stop. A soldier brought Yannic forth, and he was wrapped in soft blankets with a House's symbol, too muddled to identify. The Nobleman returned to England, bringing with him a Fosterling. He rose Yannic as his youngest son, teaching him the ways of Honor, Chivalry, and the Code of Battle.
People: Germanic

Guess I can't make their situation any better. Could I sleep with them in the courtyard?

Why? It'd just make you a joke among nobles. And do you want to be a good soldier, or a good noble?

Well, the way I saw it, the soldiers might resent me and other nobles for thinking we have a right to better accommodations and they don't. For now, I'll refrain from sleeping with them. But, could I sit down with some random group to chat with? (I can just imagine their reaction. "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?"

they resent Nobles for a lot of reasons but it's better to be a good Noble then a good soldier in this era.

"Because I couldn't enjoy the food with all those up-tight nobles." I say as I steal a piece of the pig. "One of them mistook me for a servant, not even a soldier. Can you believe that? At least you guys are straight with me." I say before I eat a piece of the pig.

"Can't tell you, as much as I wish I could. There might be a Frank spy somewhere or, God forbid, a noble hears about it and throws a fit. Sorry." Seemingly noticing their awkwardness, I make an attempt to crack a bawdy joke. "So, what's soft and inviting? ... A silk bed, you dirty-minded *******s."
