The castle was a very boring place. Essentially, all anyone did was
stick around making sure nobody touched their stuff. Outdoors,
recreational activities included hunting and a whole bunch of combat
training. Manly things indeed. Indoors however, it was much more
bleak. Chess was one of the few games that did exist in the day, but
the number one way to cure boredom was to eat (which people still do to
this day). There’d be great feasts full of food and drink (lots of
booze), jesters and minstrels. Nowadays, we have T.V. dinners and
six-packs. And you don’t need to be of high social standing to enjoy
those (and you usually aren’t).
