Blood Red Horse- 2 main characters+reflections

By reading the first chapter of Blood Red Horse, I think the two main characters are William, and Ellie. William is the younger son of Sir Thomas, and he has an older brother called Gave. They fight with each other a lot, but the fights are usually started with Gave. Gave likes to bully Will, like once while Will is riding a horse of Sir Percy, and Gave told everyone to come and tease him or watch him make mistakes. Will is the younger son of Sir Thomas De Granville, and it seems like he had less power than Gave. Will likes to own horses, and also ride on it. He likes to dream about a bunch of horses on a big wide field. Ellie is a maiden, and she lost her both parents when she was very young. She was sent to live with the De Granville family. Ellie and Will are special friends and they play and care for each other.

England in the 1100s, the age and gender really means a lot, and it changes everything. By looking at Gave and William, we can see that Gave has more power, because he is older than Will. Women are like used by man, they help the man to give birth, and then if they don't have any other benefits to the man, then they change another woman. There were a lot of Sir Thomas, and Will and Gave's father was the fifth Sir Thomas. Will and Gave's father's father was very considering on the fortification, and the buildings. He make the things work smoothly all the time. They believe that people who are good or like die in wars are sent to heaven directly.
