Hi, I'm Olivia.
00:00:14
And I'm Felicity.
00:00:15
We're here at Framlingham Castle to meet Margaret Brotherton.
00:00:16
Countess of Northwark.
00:00:18
It is a great pleasure to welcome you here to my castle at Framlingham.
00:00:23
I understand that you would like to know more about the life of a medieval noblewoman.
00:00:28
That's right.
00:00:34
In order to be truly noble, you must dress as I do.
00:00:35
Well, you both look very fine indeed, and you will grace any court in all of Christendom.
00:00:41
What's it like to live in a castle?
00:00:46
Do you have to climb lots of stairs to get to your bedroom?
00:00:48
Oh, there are many steps in a castle.
00:00:51
I myself have a room right at the top of the castle,
00:00:53
which has the most magnificent views across my estate,
00:00:57
and I feel very at home up there.
00:01:00
How should a countess behave?
00:01:02
It is your duty to maintain the great traditions of your heritage
00:01:04
and to represent your family well by showing courtesy.
00:01:10
For example, you must show excellent table manners.
00:01:14
You must always place a napkin over your left shoulder or over your left wrist.
00:01:18
You must never wipe your mouth upon your sleeve.
00:01:24
That will never do.
00:01:29
You must make sure that you never rest your elbows upon the table.
00:01:30
You never use a fork as something to eat with.
00:01:36
Instead, you will carry your own knife and you will stab your food.
00:01:39
and then you will remove that piece of food from the knife.
00:01:43
And if you are offered a drink by your host,
00:01:48
first you must wipe your mouth with your napkin
00:01:52
and then you must accept a drink from the cup using both hands
00:01:55
and then return it to your host.
00:01:59
Do you have a lot of parties and what do you eat?
00:02:03
Oh, I love to have feasts here.
00:02:06
I love to dance here.
00:02:09
Would you like to have a look at my accounts
00:02:11
and you can see in detail all the things that I ordered over the year.
00:02:13
70,321 loaves of bread, 40 casks of red herring,
00:02:17
721 carcasses of beef, 9 wild boar, 151 carcasses of pork,
00:02:23
697 carcasses of mutton,
00:02:30
24 pounds of saffron, and finally 2,200 gallons of red and white wine from St. Emilion.
00:02:32
What are you most proud of and how do you want to be remembered?
00:02:39
Well, I am most proud of having lived a long and prosperous life.
00:02:43
I have always known my own mind.
00:02:49
I have always lived fearlessly.
00:02:51
I have been persuasive in my time.
00:02:54
I was married at the age of 15, not much older than you are now.
00:02:57
As such, I was not happy in that marriage.
00:03:02
I did my best to get out of it.
00:03:05
So I've had an interesting life, shall we say.
00:03:07
Thank you for telling us about your life.
00:03:10
Thank you.
00:03:12
You are very welcome. It's been a great pleasure to have your company here.
