In World History, I got an assignment that made me absolutely thrilled: design a castle, build it, then write a story about the kingdom the castle belongs to going into battle.
I quickly designed a castle, then began writing the story. I'm writing, writing, writing, rereading, taking out redundancies, etc, when suddenly I get to a part that I know how to finish, but I don't know how to initiate.
This is (basically) where I'm stuck at:
All of the peasants quickly scurried off to their dwellings to gather food to supply to the knights. One woman, however, continued to stand in front of the knight.
"Kind woman," said the knight, "why are you not off gathering food?"
"Sod off, ya bugger!" shouted the woman.
"What did you say?" asked the knight, perplexed.
"You 'eard me! I always knew knights were (???), but I didn't know they were idiots, too!"
The story goes on that the knight yells at the woman, telling her that if she doesn't gather food, she "will be put to death, as decried by Lord Olsen". Then she throws mud at the knight, causing him to take out his sword, kill the peasant woman, and use her as food.
Thing is, I need a good medieval insult for this peasant woman to use. I'm leaning toward "oppressive bastards", but I'm not sure "bastards" is in context with Medieval Europe.
Any suggestions?
