Similarities between the life of a medieval King and the average man today.

by Kashimaru

So basically I was wondering: What benefits did medieval Kings have for themselves only that we now as average modern men can enjoy?

Thank you very much in advance!

most of these apply to most nobles, not just kings

  • rich, fatty, meat-heavy diets & the weight that comes with it

  • land ownership (not all modern men, but unique for the time)

  • ability to practice sports (only the wealthy had time to hunt (for fun), joust, and play other sports like the ancestors of hockey, cricket, hockey, golf, soccer)

  • living in a male-dominated society

  • concept of inheritance - "family business" still relevant today (although applied to most men back then)

  • access to education
