Entry 1

My name is Alexander the baker, son from Philip the baker. I am writing this diary so I can keep record of my life and also for future generations to know better how is my life.

It is the year 981, and I live in the Kingdom of England. The king is Ethelred II the Unready. It is November and temperatures are very cold.

My family is formed by:

      Philip the baker (dad)

      Clarice (mom)

      Margaret (my younger sister)

Normally my sister Margaret is playing all day long while my mom is cooking and my dad and I go to work at our small shop to sell bread. Tomorrow I would tell you more about our job.
