Question

Which of the following story scenarios would best fit the historical context of the 14th century?
a. A sailor travels country to country to find his family after they are taken hostage by an evil ship captain.
b. The town shoemaker marries a beautiful young maiden despite the wishes of her rich family.
c. A farmer fights to defend his crops against the trolls who want to take over his land.
d. An adolescent girl flees her home after an illness takes the life of every person in her family.

Answer 1

My best guess is B. The town shoemaker marries a beautiful young maiden despite the wishes of her rich family. During the 14th century, the theme of chivalric romance and love is emerging and growing in literature. It is unlikely that the other options would fit the historical context because there are no such things as trolls, young girls would never be able to survive on their own, and a sailor would not have the resources to travel to every country (particularly because not many were known during the time period).
