This is assignment is due by class on Friday, September 1st.
Who are you (i.e. what is your character's name)?
Where were you born?
Approximately when were you born?
Who were your parents?
Remember your character was handed out in class on Wednesday, August 23rd. You must write your answers to the above questions "in character", i.e. in the voice of your assigned person, so in other words, in 1st person.
For example: You are Roland, one of the knights of Charlemagne
"Good day to you. I am Roland, a Count and paladin (i.e. a knight) of my liege lord and king, as well as the nephew, of the most august Charlemagne. While my exact age is unknown, I believe myself to have seen more than 20 summers, as I am an accomplished warrior who has fought on the Breton frontier and earned the respect of my peers and fellow paladins. My step-father is Ganelon, the Count of Mayence and my mother is Charlemagne's sister, Berthe. My own father, Milon, an impoverished knight, died soon after my birth rescuing commoners from a flood."
Note, this took about 20 minutes to piece together information from different searches and online information since the classic Chanson de Roland only talks about his death.
