I think as a best role model, I would choose the English king, Alfred the Great.
Alfred started with a few hundred men in a desperate situation and established England as a country free of Viking control.
He promoted education, even setting up schools for primary education in English.
He had books translated from Latin into English for the benefit of people who could not read Latin.
He promoted the Anglo saxon Chronicle.
He furthered trade.
He educated all his children including his daughters.
In Medieval times, a good feudal lord shared the bounty of the land with the tenant. A good feudal lord also shared meals with the tenant.

Good question. I'm trying to find that out aswell.
Monks were around for every single year of the Medieval Age. There were also monks in late Roman times, and there are still monks in modern times. Monks have been around for a good long while, and not all of them were Medieval. * The Medieval Age lasted from the 5th Century to the 15th.

In medieval times, roofs were commonly thatched using materials such as straw, reeds, or rushes. These materials were readily available and provided good insulation, helping to keep homes warm during colder months. Thatching involved layering the materials in a way that allowed rainwater to run off, preventing leaks and water damage. This traditional roofing technique was not only practical but also contributed to the rustic charm of medieval architecture.
I assume you mean what are some good medieval themed board games? If that is correct I think Kingsburg is pretty good. Carcassone is excellent, Dominion is pretty good as well.
Not very I'm afraid. Much was based on incomplete knowledge and superstition.
