Ultimate Decades - 1300s 1.1

1300

 In 1300, Adam and Evelyn got married

With a first interaction like this, babies should be upon us soon

Evelyn's older sister, Mary, popped over for a visit

"Mary!"

"Sister!"

"How is farm life?"

"I'm still getting used to it. It's so different from the city"

Meanwhile, Adam's father, Joseph, went fishing to leave the women to it

Evelyn's cooking skills weren't quite up there yet (and Adam was nearly mauled by a bear so no protein...) so it was gruel until further notice

It's baby making time~


Evelyn spends the majority of her morning doing laundry

"Somehow I didn't think this is what the farm life would be like..."

"....."

"Me too. Mr. Rooster, me too"

(the rooster has a name but I did not write it down. lol)

Daisy the cow is currently Adam's favourite child

Evelyn found herself being done with her chores early in the day so she took up cross-stitch

"Ouch"

The young couple were being cute when Joseph came in to yell at them

God forbid anyone hugs around here

Another day, another baby attempt

"The gruel tastes different today, Evelyn. Trying something new?"

"Well..."

Evelyn's till working on this cooking thing

Evelyn was doing her chores while being judged by the rooster

"Good job, girl!"

The rooster judges silently

It was then that Evelyn's baby dreams were put on hold

The monthly 'illness' had arrived.

Time to get the rags

Since Evelyn wasn't allowed near the garden currently, she spent more time on her cross-stitching

Mary came to visit

"Sister, I heard you're banished from the garden"

"Unfortunately, yes."

During her confinement, Evelyn thought she'd work on her culinary skills

Gruel got tiring after all

So a vampire came in and drained poor Adam

With Adam still laid out, it was up to Joseph to pick up the slack

He didn't seem all that happy about it

Evelyn was still in confinement but Mr Rooster was happy to keep her company

1301

It's time to check in on the other households

This is James, he's Adam's older brother

He lives in the city and makes mead for the local pub

(James has a wife, Louise, who I didn't grab a photo of)

On the other side of town lived Mary and her husband, Darius

They too hoped for babies.

Back with Adam, he took a trip to town to sell their crops

Now that Evelyn could finally leave the house, the baby making continued

That was until Evelyn puked on the floor

Hmmm....


--

The fact that I had to research to what menstrual cycles were referred to at this time is telling. lol

Then I went down a rabbit hole where I learned that it was believed that women were sick and would infect the crops. lol

--

I'll be spending most of the time with Adam/Evelyn and the weekends with James/Louise & Darius/Mary.

I've come to realise that I went with all dark hair/blonde hair couples oops. Louise is blonde too. omg

I didn't mean to I swear. I just picked some older models from my gallery and edited them to make them more medieval. I didn't change their hair colour so...my bad

If I need to make families for future marriages, I'll change it up. 😅

Ages: 

I based these on the lifespan bar

Joseph - 40

Adam - 24

Evelyn - 19

James - 29

Louise - 20

Darius - 27

Mary - 20
