In the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves", the Sheriff of Nottingham hires a brigade of barbarous looking Celts to fight for him. During the high middle ages were there still "barbarian" tribes like this in Europe?

Hadn't celtic tribal culture long since evolved (for serious lack of a better term) into what we think of as medieval european cultures? Were there still isolated holdout tribes that were never Romanized, maintaining their "barbarian" traits as late as the high middle ages?

Did princes and magnates of the High Middle Ages in Western Europe have a strong sacral role?

Kingship in this period was full of religious significance, with elaborate anointment or coronation rights being the most prominent cases, but what about the highest lords? Did say the Count of Flanders or Duke of Normandy have any analogous position or significance within their territories, or was their status more a matter of inherited real estate than sacral meaning?

I am here because I want to experience the amazing of sharing things like joy and passion with somebody else on a level beyond friendship. It's simply that desire most of us humans feel. Whether it be on a physical level where, for instance, one gets to be one of those who gets to hold hands with somebody. Lean in to smilingly kiss.

But it's also about having that "connection" where both have a good influence on each other. Introduce/being introduced to new things, whether it be a hobby, knowledge or other cool things. Hopefully also have some common ground somewhere to share. Or being there for another, whether it be simply for support or the deepest despair.

You get the idea, and now it's time to get me.

  • I work for a nightclub as a runner. In short, restocking the bar on ice, glasses or alcohol. Pick glasses from counters/tables/floor and have them cleaned or disposed. Clean up where necessary. I also worked simultaneously as a waiter for the first half of the year until the restaurant closed down. The pattern here is that I enjoy working in social environments where people come to have a good time.
  • In the beginning of August, I felt the desire to have some of that passion and liveliness from younger adult days come back to me, this time alongside being much more mature. So I returned to the gym after a few months hiatus, this time to get more stronger/fit than ever, by far. By extension, I hope to return to martial arts, one day.
  • I dig taking photos with my camera, from time to time. There is something special about having neat photos to clarify one's memories/experiences. Aside from that, I dig video games, anime and books. I've kinda fallen out from all things live action, at the moment. I'm especially passionate about video games when it comes to single-player story experiences. Give me things like Final Fantasy VII, The Last of Us, Xenoblade Chronicles-series and we all good.
  • My life is currently very much home/work/gym but that's because almost none of my friends are into going to bars, clubs or anything lile that. I would love it if you're the kind of person who likes to go to these social "venues". As it's not yet that cold, I enjoy just merely strolling in/around town and sit down in a coffee house. Simply, enjoying myself with only myself.

How would a young Prince have addressed the housekeeper in medieval Europe?

I’m writing a fantasy fiction novel, based in medieval Europe. How would a young Prince, at fourteen years old, have addressed the housekeeper? To set some context, the housekeeper is in her 40’s, elegant and has served the King and his family for the last 7 years. Would he have used β€˜my lady’, her name? Or some other title?

Edit: Adding more context. The housekeeper is tasked to get him washed and dressed before he meets his father, the King. He is reluctant to get dressed since he has his first official visit to another city. He says the city stinks of shit, smoke and witches. Anyway, after he called her a β€˜stupid bint’, for purposely tipping rose water on him, the situation has calmed down. Despite his title, she is actually very commanding and has an air of authority over him. As she leaves he addresses her. There is no apology, but this is where I need a typical response like β€œYes ma’am”. Although I know that wouldn’t be appropriate for medieval England.
