The village idiot but it's still a fairly popular profession even nowadays.

I agree, a friend of mine came second in a Village idiot competition down at the local community centre.

The bloke who won it forgot to turn up.

I knew I should have put a disclaimer into the first post about this society not having a ruling class of lazy aristocrats...

Well I'd be a Lord. Not a King. Too much danger and work. A Lord who doesn't rock the boat, gets on with the King, and only occasionally massacres the peasantry.

Also I will kill all the blacksmiths.

Saruman · 13-12-2013 02:43PM

The mad wizard of course.

Jesus Wept · 13-12-2013 02:47PM

I'd probably bludgeon cúnt$ in the head for whatever they had of worth.

Boxom wench. I would ideally spend a lot of time rolling in hay and having my arse slapped.

With your name I'd a thought you'd have opted for fletcher.

You would think, but I know my weaknesses. I would just keep breaking the arrows and the armies would have nothing to fire!

Stone mason, and I'd build a Cathedral.

And they'd cut off yer hands when you finished so you couldn't make another one like it.

There's not as much arse slapping now as I'd like, to be fair

For me, the answer would be Blacksmith. TBH, I think I'd still love to do it today but haven't the time or money to take it up as a hobby / train in it.

Congratulations. You're the successful applicant for the position of blacksmith to the Lord of Madrid.
You will take up the role starting on the 1st of June and there will be a 3 month probationary period.

Sunhill · 13-12-2013 04:07PM

To get one's Guild papers as a blacksmith involved a long apprenticeship (for which you paid for the training and your keep), with much hard work and a high standard of workmanship demanded. Would probably be harder to achieve than to get a PhD today. Mind you, the difference was that you were producing something that people found useful.

diomed · 13-12-2013 04:09PM

I would be a stonemason because that's what the family did for generations. I knew I was never suited to accountancy.

Agricola · 13-12-2013 05:02PM

An armourer probably. Held in high esteem (if I was any good) and probably well paid. Failing that, a brewer. Since nobody could drink the water, I'd make a killing.
