Knights didn't get castles. Barrons, counts, dukes, kings, etc. had castles. Knights were just the soldiers.

edit: Actually, usually only kings and dukes had castles. A barron or count might have a keep or fort or something smaller.

But they still enjoyed good food, alcohol and lots of women hired by dukes, counts, etc. ;)

On a sidenote, is it possible to buy a castle in europe, or is it considered a national monument?

Aye, t'was the best job of the day. Except when you fell over into the mud while in full armor and some peasant came along with a knife and stabbed you in the eye. That would suck.

Depends on the castle, but you can definitely own or build one.

Maybe it's just me, but she's really not that cute. I mean hitable, yes, but If I was a knight w/ a castle, I'd have the prettiest wench in all of the land!

She looks like something you see at the college bars on Friday nights.

As somebody who is well out of college but lives in a big time college town, there are hardly any college aged girls who look like that. I find her striking because while she is rather attractive, she does have a mature look in her face. She sure as hell doesn't look like some 20 year old college girl.

Hit the mark. This looks like someone you could (almost) have a nice relationship with.

Well I live in a town that has TSU, Vanderbilt, Belmont and David Lipscomb university. I've seen plenty of girls in their early 20's that look like this girl. I don't specifically mean she looks like shes in college, just someone you'd see out at college BARS on friday night.

She's cute but there are far more attractive women out there.

"This is (almost) someone you could have a nice relationship with."

You have to LOVE ATOT!!! You think you could have a relationship with someone based on her photo. Lovely.

We're talking about being a knight and owning a castle here. LOL

You want sleeping beauty, not 24 yr old office girl that you see around town all the time.

My Point: You'd take that girl to be your princess over Her? :)
