Festivities

The Life of people during the Middle ages was dictated by the changes in the season. The different seasons and months of the year were celebrated with Religious Feasts and Festivals - the Middle Ages holidays. The religion of Christianity had been established in England during the Dark Ages. In the Middle Ages, following the Norman conquest, new stone churches and cathedrals were built. Middle Ages Holidays marked an event of religious importance for every month of the year. The rural population of the Middle Ages had their days of rest and amusement, Middle Ages holidays were then much more numerous than at present. At that period the festivals of the Church were frequent and rigidly kept, as each of them was the pretext for a forced holiday from manual labor.

  • Twelfth Night (January) -- Religious festival and feasts celebrating the visit of the Wise Men, or Magi, following the birth of Jesus.
  • St Valentine's Day (February) -- The Medieval festival celebrating love - singing, dancing and pairing games.

"The Traditions are written for memory in English and for mood purpose in French."


La Mascarade / The Masquerade 

    Vous ne révélerez pas votre vraie nature à ceux qui ne sont pas de notre Sang. Le faire revient à renoncer à 
    votre Sang.

    Thou shall not reveal thy true nature to those not of the Blood. Doing such shall renounce thy claims of Blood.


Le Domaine / The Domain 

    Votre Domaine est le vôtre uniquement. Tous vous y doivent le respect. Personne ne peut défier votre parole dans votre Domaine.

    Thy domain is thy own concern. All others owe thee respect while in it. None may challenge thy word while in thy domain.

Note that this Tradition is still respected in France, but the Domains are usually reserved to high-status Kindred, like the Primogen and the Ducs. Of course, one can invoke this Tradition when defending her Haven...


La Progéniture / The Progeny 

    Vous n'Infanterez qu'avec la permission de votre Ancien. Si vous Infantez sans l'autorisation de votre Ancien, 
    vous et votre Infant serez détruits.

    Thou shall only Sire another with the permission of thine elder. If you createst another without thine Elder's leave, both thou 
    and thy Progeny shall be slain.


L'Instruction / The Accounting 

    Ceux et Celles que vous créez sont vos Infants. Jusqu'à ce que vos Infants soient libérés, vous les commanderez en toutes choses. 
    Leurs péchés seront aussi les vôtres, et vous en subirez les conséquences.

    Those thou create are thine own children. Until thy Progeny shall be Released, thou shall command them in all things. Their sins 
    are thine to endure.


Hospitalité / Hospitality 

        Honorez le Domaine de l'autre. Quand vous entrerez dans une cité étrangère, vous vous présenterez à celui qui y règne.
        Sans son acceptation, vous n'êtes rien.

        Honor one another's domain. When thou comest to a foreign city, thou shall present thyself to the one who ruleth there.
        Without the word of acceptance, thou art nothing.


Destruction / Destruction 

       Il vous est interdit de détruire l'un de vos Frères ou l'une de vos Soeurs de Sang. 
       Le Droit de Destruction n'appartient qu'à votre Ancien. Seul l'Ancien parmi les Anciens peut appeler une Chasse de Sang.

       Thou art forbidden to destroy another of thy kind. The right of destruction belongeth only to thine Elder. 
       Only the Eldest among thee shall call the Blood Hunt.
