[Bard’s Tale Song – represents the background info on Bard]
The story starts out in that a man named Bard lives in a peaceful town, and has a happy family. He is married and has a child on the way. He is out collecting water at the well because his wife is 7 months pregnant and has quite a big belly. He is bringing some water up and a knight clad in shining armor strolls up and sees Bard collecting water. The knight realized that this was strange and he asked him why he was collecting water. Bard told him that his wife was due for a baby in the next 2 months. The knight thought that Bard was an exceptional man for standing up to the embarrassment and ridicule or going to the well because only women went to the well in those days. The knight is so fond of Bard that he can face ridicule so well, that he decides to ask Bard about being one of his soldiers in the army. The knight thought because he was an outstanding man that he would enlist him. Bard was quite astonished of this and tried to refuse because he wanted to be home for his wife's birth. He also thought that his wife would die in labor if he was not there for her. He also recognized that no one would be able to get here water from the well unless she paid a local schoolchild to do that, and Bard’s family was very poor. The knight started to get a little frustrated with Bard, so Bard said that he would. The knight wanted as many soldiers as possible because a great war was occurring between their country (England) and their long time rivals, France. The war had already lasted 4 years and the English were starting to lose their upper hand. The knight also planned on setting up a draft in the city that Bard lived in so he could get more soldiers. But because the knight had hand picked Bard, he would be a high ranking official.
Bard went straight home from the well and told his wife. His wife started crying and Bard held his wife's shaking hands in his and said good-bye.
Bard then packed all his things for battle and followed the knight (who was staying at the inn down the street until the next day for the draft) to help him be accommodated into the inn's rooms. Over the night, he had learned that the knight's name was Monte, and that he had been a knight serving under King Arthur for 12 years, and is one of Arthur's favored knights. Monte had only lost 5 battles in the time he fought. He had won 34 battles in his whole career and had not lost a jousting match. Bard had an uneasy sleep wondering about the battles to come and if he would perish or not before he could see his newborn baby. The next morning Bard was up bright and early after his only 1 or 2 hours of sleep. He stood next to Monte the whole day and followed every order he was given.
For the next month, the men that were drafted and Bard were transported to the local barracks and were given extensive training. Monte then left to go back to the battle lines and command his men through the battles. Bard soon learned that the men he was training with would be under his command and he would lead them into the heart of battle. Bard trained with horses and sword fighting on them because he would have to lead his men into the battle on a horse. He was considered a light cavalryman, while his unit would be Men at Arms [check the unit showcase]. For the next 30 days, he and his group grew so close together that Bard occasionally forgot about his wife and soon-to-be baby at home.
Then the day came when Monte came back to see how Bard and his unit have been for the past 30 days. Bard said with great respect that they were ready to go into battle. Monte was pleased with the answer and told Bard that he would be transported to North-Eastern France [now Normandy].
