My contest entry for the "Medieval and Dark Ages Skin Contest"
A Medieval Monk! :D Since only a few are doing "Priests, Monks, or Heralds" Here's what I got :)
As far as I know, these medieval monks spend their time reading the bible, worshiping, praying and doing some other work... There are also some monks/priests that are just plain corrupted like this one :) (Read the Story)
Some Backstory:
A Priest in the Middle Ages that preaches to people about the good news. He is trusted by everyone because of his teachings. He is also helpful to other people that he meets...
But no one knows what he really does. He is actually a corrupt priest just being good to people for show. The priest gambles and steals people's taxes.
But in all that, everyone still trusts him, and believes in him..
Any man, rich or poor, noble or peasant could become a Medieval monk. Every candidate for admission to the order of the Benedictine monks took the vow of obedience. The postulancy usually lasted one month, the novitiate one year, at the end which simple vows were taken. The solemn vows of the Medieval monks were taken four years later. Having once joined he remained a monk for the rest of his life. The Medieval monks lived under strict discipline. They could not own any property; they could not go beyond the monastery walls without the abbot's consent; they could not even receive letters from home; and they were sent to bed early. A violation of the regulations by a Medieval monks brought punishment in the shape of private admonitions, exclusion from common prayer, and, in extreme cases, expulsion. Medieval ecclesiastic terms which related to becoming a monk (From HERE)
