Thats an interesting post, Longmane, but like I said it is not the only place for a knight to get a drink and is over-represented as the place where people do drink, especially when your run of the mill bloodthirsty knight politely sits down, surrounded by plebians, and PAYS for his drink! The scandal! Anyway, I mainly want people to remember that there are estates, castles and abbeys filled to the brim with better food and drink than pubs.
