= I wish I were a king = = = == Being a knight is really fun. The advantages of being a knight are you get to fight in all the wars and play lots of games with other Knights or archers in the castle. It is also great to be a knight because you are in the higher leveled classes. I get to joust, go horse backriding, practice my battle skills, and fight. A knights rights include hunting to get their own food, designing your shield, sword, and armor with anything you want. ==

== The disadvantage of being a knight is you are always at war and fighting. You run the risk of getting killed at any moment. Another challenge with being a knight is you are constatnly training and fighting all day. You also have to follow The Code of Chivalry. You have to be careful of what you do or say because you could be killed for doing something wrong. You also have to be in heavy armor all day and who wants to do that, especially in the hot temperatures? You also have to go to church every day. It is a really important job to protect the king and his castle. ==

== The advantage of being a king is you get to run the enitre castle, the manor and you also get to eat as much as you want. Another advantage of being a king is if you do something wrong you do not get in trouble because you make the rules. It is also great to be a king because everybody is protecting you especially the knights and lords. The rights of a king are that you are given loyalty from all the knights and lords which includes protection from knights and the lords, tax money from the peasents, pastries from the baker, and shoes from the cobbler. ==

== Some disadvantages of being a king are you can't really play any sports like the knights, so it is not a lot of fun. Another disadvantage of being a king is you have to sit in the castle all day long and plan warfare strategies and control the castle and manor. The only entertaining part of being a king is when you get to watch the jester do tricks and make you laugh. The main responsibilities of a king is providing fief to the lords, knights and peasants and also provide shelter to the peasants. ==
