Assize of Bread and Ale
In the 13th century the reglementation of bread and ale was instituted prohibiting the selling of short weighted bread or the addition of sand to flour.

Cemetary of Doom
Many decades ago, during a cold day in autumn, the evil Lord Dracul was buried alive by the revolting mob, not before he cursed the burial site.

But the two graveyard morons, wanted to dig the hole now in order to spend the hole next day in the tavern. This may be the grave digger’s last deed, as hell is now awakening beneath the cursed soil.

Eddies fish soup
Every day Eddy goes out with his small boat for fishing. He comes back with crabs, some mussels and fresh fish. By getting some vegetables from his brother in law Pete, who is a small farmer nearby, he has all the ingredients necessary for the best fish soup in town. His market stand at the market place is well known and his soup, well it’s a fast seller. Many come from far far away just to get a cup of Eddies soup.

Leon Crusader
I like the lion motive from Harry Potter, so I made a crusader knight out of the topic.

Reconquista
After centuries of ocupancy, finally your highness Isabella de Castilla and her husband Fernando de Aragon are gaining one victory after the other freeing the land and the people. One castle after the other is falling to the hands of the christians. Siege engines attack the walls and crush the forces of the hated, unwanted strangers. If the people would have known back then what awaited them instead. From a developed highly civilized and progressive culture to the dark ages of torture and inquisition. But that’s another story…
