Peasant cycle of seasons, February
February: (Peasant Cycle of Seasons)
Another month of relative inactivity for the
peasants. The inhabitants of a farm are
shown warming themselves by the fire, while in the background
daily life—cutting wood, taking cattle to the market—goes
on as normal.
But this month was a busy month for the nobility. Jousting tournements
took place in February as a prelude to the Carnival Season that
preceded Lent.
