A hireling is someone who does what he does solely because he is paid to do so. He has no noble aspirations or hopes - he just does what he is told for the money. Hirelings generally do fairly menial jobs.

Are there any mmorpg's where you can be the evil side?

yes World Of Warcraft or I have been playing this game called Mytha. Its a online MMORPG turn base game where you create a party (5 hirelings) of your choice from wizards, knights, barbs, necromancers, elven archers, alchimist, dark knight, rangers, sorc, paladins, also you can have mobs on your team like demons and dark fairys. You battle on a grid just like Shining force. You cast magic spells, use spells like Power Heal and Blaze you can summon undead and other meat shields, This game has no advertisement at all and a very low player base. When you start the game you start with a random group of 3 hirelings, you have the ability to pick up free rangers and replace those hire. In the begining you could start out with rats, large rats, alch, elven archers, rangers. The game is a little confusing when your new, but if you give it a shot you really could see what a great game this is. Please give it a try for 1 hour, you have to get past the turtorial island to see its full potential.


How did the actors in the globe theatre get paid?

The hirelings were day laborers, paid a set amount for each performance. The shareholders, permanent company members, split the profits after all of the expenses were paid. The Burbages got two shares each. Shakespeare and the top comic got a share and half apiece, and the rest got one share. Depending on the period, there were ten to fourteen members in the company. Some of the troupe, including Shakespeare and the Burbages, also received shares in the rent the players paid to the Globe as part of their expenses.

Were there more catholics or protestants during the civil war?

Protestants, by a huge margin. England, the mother country, had changed from Catholicism in the 1500s. Of the original 13 colonies, Maryland was begun as a haven for the remaining (and persecuted) English Catholics, though Maryland could not exclude members of other religions. There were few Catholics elsewhere in the original colonies, and few came to America before the potato blight struck Ireland in the 1840s. Th Irish began then to immigrate in very large numbers in the 1840s and were the first large Catholic group in the US. Most of these arrived and lived in the north and fought in the northern armies, causing resentment of "foreign hirelings" in the south. There was also a wave of immigration following a number of failed revolutions in Europe n 1848; many of these immigrants were German and some were Catholic. Again these new Americans lived mostly in and fought for the north, and were called "Hessians" by southerners, borrowing a term from the American Revolution.


Did Shakespeare have any interaction with Edward De Vere?

It is possible but unlikely. Shakespeare and de Vere were of totally different social classes and would not have mixed socially. De Vere was an ardent theatre fan and supported two companies (Oxford's Men and the Children of Paul's) as well as the playwright John Lyly in the 1580s before Shakespeare started his career. It is possible that the young Shakespeare may have been connected with the Oxford Company as a hired man, but the patrons of theatre companies had nothing to do with the day-to-day running of the company and so would likely never have had any contact with the hirelings, if indeed Shakespeare was one of them. After about 1590, as Shakespeare's star began to rise, de Vere's steadily diminished. He became a peripheral figure, crippled by crushing debt and ill health. He may have continued his interest in the theatre by attending performances by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, rivals to his own companies, and may have interacted with the actors at such a performance, including Shakespeare. But there is no evidence at all that such an event took place, and because of the social differences involved, it is very unlikely.


What does the reference to hirelings and slave in the Star Spangled Banner means?

There is a controversy is regarding the use of hireling and slave as derision toward African Americans in general. Francis Scott Key wrote the song after the defeat of the Battle of Ft McHenry in 1814, during the War of 1812. The British had recruited slaves as mercenaries to fight during 1812. The British had promised the slaves their freedom in return for fighting. Francis Scott Key never wrote more about his choice of these words, and so it is unreliable to assign any particular meaning to them - more than 200 years later. (To me, it seems like it wasn't their fight, yet they died bravely in a terrible war.)The third stanza, rarely sung reads:And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusionA home and a Country should leave us no more?Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.No refuge could save the hireling and slaveFrom the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth waveO’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
