What is an ewerer?
an ewerer was in charge of table linen.
hope that helps xx
A Ewerer had a variety of tasks. They would:
· Bring heated water for nobles.
· Lay tables
· Hand wash at feasts
· Dye huge cloths
· Be responsible for table linen.
· Wash the hands of the Queen after a feast.
The daily aspects for a Ewerer would be setting up the table and making sure that everything would be ready for the guests.
A Ewerer was an important job because if there wasn't a Ewerer then nothing wouldn't be clean and neat, including the tables that wouldn't be set.
I think that people would like to have a job as a Ewerer. Because there were much worst jobs out there for example you had to be outside or clean up poop. So setting a table for the kings is a GREAT job. Maybe you can even eat the leftover food who knows.
Ewerer's worked for the kings and the people who owned the great house. They had to make everything neat so the kings would like it. They would do anything the guests would ask for as they are royal. It was a really high class type of place where the kings would eat.
Another job that is associated with a Ewerer is a Pantler. A Pantler is in charge of the bread and the pantry and sets the tables. They both associate with serving the kings. It also says that a groom can help a Ewerer at the Great House.
A Ewerer was classified as a Sub Tenant. This is one above a Peasant, two below a Monarch, Lords and Bishops. So they are not very important people but are higher than Peasants.
The clothing that a Ewerer would wear would depend on what gender you were. If you were a female Ewerer than you would wear a long dress with a leather apron, slip on shoes with a closed toe and you would have your hair tied up. If you were a male than you would wear old baggy clothes nothing too nice, leather apron and a closed toe shoe.
A Ewerer can be a tiring job, because you slave over the kings and queens at the dinner tables and clean up afterwards.
Well a Ewerer can get dirty if some food or water is spilt/spilled on you. You can also get dirty when cleaning and washing the table linen and food is attached to the cloth and the food gets on your clothes.
A dangerous part of being a Ewerer is when your bringing hot water over to the nobles at their table that if you spilt the water on yourself you would get burnt.
A Ewerer spent most of their time in the Great House serving guests and cleaning up. They would only have a couple of hours not doing work if that. And so I would think that a Ewerer lived in the Great House.

What jobs did medieval villagers do?
This is just information that I gained from reading a Medieval Times book at school.The jobs that Medieval villagers did were things like. Planting vegetables in the garden,They ploughed at the month of Feburary, and women and children helped to drive the oxen.On march, the seed for oats had to be sown and then the villagers used a harrow which was then used to cover the seeds over with oil.Other jobs included weeding, chasing away birds, and even more ploughing.In the month of June the villagers sheared the sheep, and the hay harvest in the meadow began, the hay was then cut and stacked in the barn, the villagers allowed the cattle in to the field to eat the stubble.Men villaers collected firewood, they had to dig draining ditches and repaired buildings.This isn't much, but this is all that I discovered.
