A Look into Royalty’s Life
Life is luxurious for royalty. Rooms in medieval castles are filled with the finest furniture made of the most exquisite materials of the time. Servants use various methods to prepare feasts fit for a king. Lords and ladies wear exotic furs and jewelry displaying their wealth to the peasants below them. Perhaps one of the best ways to look into the life of royalty is to start where their day begins and ends. The bedroom.
There are dark wooden doors in an arched stone doorway. The doors have black bolts that match the curvy door handles. As you enter the room your feet would first feel the cool floors that match doors. To the left there is a fireplace burning hot. Fireplace itself is made of round stones of varying shades of gray. Adjacent to the fireplace sits two tall wooden chairs. …show more content…
Silk covered wool pads the seat and back of the chair making it comfortable to sit in. The silk is shiny and purple it reflects the light falling from the chandelier above the chairs. The chandelier is made of shiny silver and hangs from a thick winding chain. The silver loops wind intricately around twelve tall cream colored candles set ablaze. Toward the center back of the room in the four poster bed. From its four posts hangs thick red drapes as red as the wool blankets they hide. The sheets beneath the blankets are crisp and white and the pillows are lined with silk and decorative buttons. The wooden posts are smooth and rounded extending all the way to the ceiling. At the end of the bed there is a bed stool embellished with the same purple silk as the chairs and pillows. The feet of the stool dig into a thick woven rug that covers most of the room’s floor. The rug displays a convoluted design that that only a master weaver could fabricate. On the right side of the room there is a small table with a few chairs. Looking past the table you could peer out into the courtyard through a large multi colored window. The glass stained the sunlight that passed through in the daytime vibrant shades of yellow, red, blue, and green. Framing the multi-colored window are drapes that fell all the way to the floor. To the left of the window and table is a massive wardrobe. The wardrobe, a rich deep brown, housed dozens of dresses and soft leather slippers. The dresses have long, flared sleeves and a long flowing skirt. The waist of any maiden is tied tightly by a corset. A bonnet is on many maidens’ heads. Enormous gems encased in silver or gold wrap their necks, wrists, waists, and thin fingers. Men prefer to decorate with shined buttons and metal jewelry thicker than their female counterparts. Noblemen wore fur and capes often red showing their status in a pompous fashion.They walked on brown or stained black leather boots. Royalty rarely wore brown or grey as to not be mistaken with a peasant. Their clothes were often made of wool or silk. Royalty’s clothing is nearly as extravagant as their food. There is never a shortage of food for royalty. A king’s feast was a four to six course meal. The main dish
