The Monk
You scored 31% Cardinal, 51% Monk, 44% Lady, and 24% Knight!
NO WAY! Religion bores me to tears! Must be because I said I'd rather read and back then it was mostly the religious people who learned to read - the rest were too busy trying to grow enough food to feed the family and just stay alive.
As Fly said, it's more realistic to say I'd have been dead of the plague or possibly die in childbirth since they didn't know about germs in those days and with no birth control women had kids every couple of years until they were worn out. A few were sterile or just didn't have more than one (I think they were RH negative so the first one lived but the other babies died - just a theory) but the rest of the women just never had any time for anything else but breeding, cooking, making clothes, making candles, and taking care of the chickens!
Give me the 21st century - freedom, computers, and cars!!

Kneel before me, peons!
The Lord
You scored 15% Cardinal, 64% Monk, 44% Lady, and 54% Knight!
You are of the intellectual breed and yet you are also very interested in war. You are of the aristocracy and head the cavalry a safe distance from the carnage of the front lines. You believe in defeating your enemy with not only might, but also wit. You scored high as both the Monk and the Knight. You can try again to get a more precise description of either the Monk or the Knight, or you can be happy that you're an individual.

I'm a lady, I am. Does this mean I can now be referred to as "Lady Izz"
The Lady
You scored 15% Cardinal, 46% Monk, 76% Lady, and 29% Knight!
Chaste and pure, you are a good person. You try to help others and do your duty to your family. However, this duty involves you being sold off to a local noble house in order to cement relations between your families. But you know it's for a greater good, and besides you will retain all the comforts and glamour of your position regardless of if you're your father's or you husband's property.

Many years ago I saw a SNL skit where they decided that if the Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich then other devices must have been invented by English nobility.
My favorite was Lord and Lady Douchebag.

The Paladin
You scored 28% Cardinal, 28% Monk, 52% Lady, and 72% Knight!
You are highly moral but also don't shy away from using force if your lord commands it. You are honourable to the point that you would readily sacrifice yourself for a noble cause. Your name will be the subject of tales and song for generations, however their concentration will be less on your deeds in life as on your martyrdom. You scored high as both the Knight and the Lady. You can try again to get a more precise description of the Knight or the Lady, or you can be happy that you're an individual.
