12 and 15 Passenger Ford Van Rental Florida Orlando and The Medieval Faire
at Fort Myers
The Medieval Faire at Fort Myers is a celebration of a much simpler time,
before the invention of modern technology, such as your Florida Van Rental and
car rental. You will learn about the work and recreational activities of the
Middle Ages, which are similar to what we do today. People of the Middle Ages
lived in rural villages and towns, rather than large city centers, but they also
had daily routines that governed their habits. The next Medieval Faire will be
held January 13, 14, 20, and 21 in the year two thousand and seven. This
promises to be a fun-filled event if you are in town with a Florida Van Rental
and car rental. It will be located at Riverdale Kiwanis, Veterans Park in Lehigh
Acres, Florida.
Huzzah!
Medieval times, or the Middle Ages, is a very broad period of time between
Antiquity (up to the fall of the Roman Empire) to Modern Times (beginning around
the Protestant Reformation).
Many Medieval fairs focus a lot on the culture that was present during this
time. When you visit with your Florida Van Rental and car rental, you will find
people dressed in costumes and selling goods similar to what would be sold in a
Medieval marketplace. For example, you will find clothing, jewelry, weapons
(small swords), food, and candles.
Some historians refer to the early Medieval period as "the dark ages" because
there is not a lot of information left from the period. The barbarians who
invaded Western Europe did not have the ability to read and write, so their
traditions were in oral history. Some of this oral history is passed down
through the people who are interested in this part of history, and can be
learned when you visit with your Florida Van Rental and car rental.
Governance was another important factor. The large government of Rome was
replaced with the feudal system. In this system of government, every person who
rented land owed their landlord labor and military service. Small land owners
had overlords, all the way up to the king. The king owned all the land in his
kingdom, so he always had a supply of food and soldiers.
The feudal system was particularly important because the community revolved
around agriculture.
Fairs were an important part of the Middle Ages because it provided a place
for people to come together to trade. It began with religious ideas, but then
moved to raw and manufactured goods at the international level. These fairs
would travel through the countryside, bringing exotic goods to people throughout
the country. The largest of these fairs was held in Champagne, France. People
from as far as Scotland and Egypt would come to sell their items and pick up new
ones.
Visiting the Medieval Faire at Fort Myers is easy with your Florida Van
Rental and car rental. You will meet many interesting people who will teach you
many things about the Middle Ages. And when you leave in your Florida Van Rental
and car rental, you may have a few new souvenirs as well!
