The Middle Ages (82) : Prison guard
This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.
No castle without prison and no prison without guard....
Imprisonment was not a usual punishment in the Middle Ages. Most prisoners were kept awaiting a mock trial, a penalty, a corporal punishment or death.
Photographed at medieval festival of castle Reinhardstein (Robertville, Belgium).

his "dress", his helmet, his gloves and weapon .... intimidating to a prisoner one can imagine ... and his facial expression perfect for "don't mess with me" !!greetings, Adele

: ) judging from his stoic face and slitted look, i strongly suspect him to be a reformed criminal himself – those are the best for the task, as they almost always anticipate the prisoner's next move… ; )) nah, just kidding! he's just wearing his most medieval, unforgiving expression for the shot! needless to say, he's perfectly suceeding! great impersonation, great shot! greetings, sabine.
