I’m along on the journey with my father, who I am destined to be like. Except I care about my appearance. I’m young, have curly hair, and I love music. I approach everything I do with passion, especially ladies and battles.

I enjoy battling and adventure. I am renown the world over for my skill in battle; I have fine horses and, quite humbly, exemplify the ideals of chivalry. I have brought my son along with me, and I am going on this pilgrimage to say thanks to God for my talents.

I am the epitome of elegance, class and manners. I care deeply about animals, and my French is impeccable. My jewelry includes a coral trinket on my arm and a gold brooch which reads “Love conquers all.”

I am a manly man; I love hunting and fine food (my waistline proves it!). I love current fashions, and fur is no enemy of mine. Living as an ascetic is tough for me—there are too many rules.

I am an expert at begging, for it is how I make my living. I am loved by land owners and maidens. The poor and lepers are too beneath me. I will hear your confession and mediate for you—for a fee, of course. I might even sing you a song.

I am proud of the work that I have done in my field. I love my split beard and Flemish beaver hat. If you want to know anything about money, I am your man! I have traveled the world around dealing in it.

I am a student at Oxford, and I love books. I would rather have a closet full of them than a closet full of clothes. I am glad to teach and happy to learn.

I am well-versed in all manners of the law. I have judged many cases in my day. I am cautious and will keep your secrets. There is no law I do not know, and in no contract of mine can an error be found.

We are a carpenter, haberdasher, dyer, weaver, and a tapestry maker. We are very well dressed, and our wives, who insist on being called “Madame” travel with us.

I am traveling with the Guildsmen. My specialty is thick soup called the blancmange. People make note of the sore on my knee.

I am a slave to “Epicurean pleasure.” Whenever you stop by my house, you are guaranteed a good time. I also have worked as a sheriff and a tax auditor.

I have seen every bay and river in England, and have the tan to prove it. I have no problem taking a drink while the ship’s captain sleeps. I sent my enemies to the plank, when necessary.

I may be poor, but I am very virtuous. I give what I have to my parishioners. My goal in life is to set an ideal for others, and I am not like most other clergy; I love and care for my flock. I preach the gospel and live by it, too.

I am traveling with my brother. I pay my tithes and lead a good Christian life. I work hard, and have no problem paying my debts.

I am strong; No door can keep me out of anywhere, for I will rip if off the hinges. I have no problem using my choice words. I keep my sword and buckler nearby at all times, and love to hear and play the bagpipe.

My job is to make sure everything is together. Though I have no formal education, I am much smarter than the people I serve. The stock markets are my pleasure.

I am a ‘holy man’ and I can get you into heaven. Just by one of these relics I made. My favorite sermon is one about how horrible greed is. My talent is singing the offertory to get more money from parishoners.

I come up with the idea to tell the stories as we travel. I have been described as warm and courtly. I go out of my way to ensure my guests are happy.

If it’s one thing I know, it’s how a crop will grow. I can tell based on the rain. I run my master’s land with excellence, no one will ever pull one over on me. They’d regret it.

Nobody dares cross me, for it is my duty to make sure justice is served to all (it may also be my face, but who knows!). I don’t take to kindly to those who put down my profession, especially those who do worse than I do.

I am traveling with the Prioress and the nun, where part of my duties include serving as chaplain.

I have been married five times, all through the church door. I go on pilgrimages because I love to travel. I can outdress any body who crosses my path. My specialty is love.

I eat healthily, and stay current of all the trends in my profession. I can name a cure for every single sickness that is known to man, and my friend, the apothecary, can sell it to you. My favorite cure-all is gold.
