The Lady
You scored 26% Cardinal, 48% Monk, 52% Lady, and 27% 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.

I seem to be a lady aswell :o
i think i'll soon rob this lord of all his gold and take off with a travelling woman from the roads and become a lesbian :P

The Harlequin
You scored 39% Cardinal, 41% Monk, 47% Lady, and 45% Knight!
You are a mystery, a jack-of-all-trades. You have the king's ear, but also listen to murmurings of the common folk. You believe in the value of force and also literature. Truly you are the puzzlement of the age.

Suites me to somewhat a tee!

I seem to be the only immoral asshole on this board, how can that be? :) I hope these tests aren't that accurate... :boggle:

Yeah, Henke! Like I said.....

and when these folks do genealogy, they are all descended from Henry V, Brian Boru or Charlegmagne, I bet!

I also seem to be classed as a Monk, which is rather silly. I think it has something to do
with liking to read... since, you know, they were the only ones who could.

I don't know about descended from Brian Boru, but I'm working on picking up Brian Boru's
march. ;)

I kept going from the Harlequin to the Cardinal.

I was hoping for blacksmith.

The Knight
You scored 42% Cardinal, 28% Monk, 41% Lady, and 56% Knight!
You are the hero. Brave and bold. You are strong and utterly selfless. You are also a pawn to your superiors and will be lucky if you live very long. If you survive the Holy wars you are thrust into you will be praised for your valor and opportunities both romantic and financial will become available to you.

Actually not as far fetched as it might sound - I chose my address so my history students would remember it easily - they were studying the Diet of Worms
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.
Lord Cardigan as well, who was pretty much an idiot according to conventional wisdom.

The Lord
You scored 15% Cardinal, 56% Monk, 44% Lady, and 51% 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 also am a Prioress:
The Prioress
You scored 7% Cardinal, 76% Monk, 58% Lady, and 27% Knight!
You are a moral person and are also highly intellectual. You like your solitude but are also kind and helpful to those around you. Guided by a belief in the goodness of mankind you will likely be christened a saint after your life is over.

Uhhh, I guess I'll be happy that I'm an individual? I think mainly it is that I would rather run than fight---although my chances would not improved thereby I'm sure---and that I love to read. I don't know how it got the impression I think mankind is good. I informed my husband that I will most likely be christened a saint after I die and he just looked at me, speechless.

No really THIS is truly me-a couple of years ago at our revels-playing drum and pipes but no pic of playing whistle :evil: * click on picture to enlarge
