In a feudal society, such as Sicily, Ireland, Poland, the England of Henry VIII, and Massholia under the Kennedy Klan, the nobles offer those whom the Lord hath placed beneath them a modicum of food, clothing,shelter, meaningful work, and protection from Viking raiders. Since there are no longer any Viking raiders, this last has been replaced by entertainment.
Since the nobles are empowered to steal from the merchant class, there isn't even any need for many of the peasants to work. All is provided in exchange for adulation. People like this Carr creature are nothing more than heretics. They are a danger to the realm and must be suppressed, faggots piled around their feet, and toasted on the stake.
Amen.
Sorry. Thought I heard a call for an encore.
