It's cool how many of these old professions are now common last names. A bit surprised that the world's oldest profession didn't make its way into the quiz, though. :)

I think minstrel should work for bard. Stewards also manage servants
Quizmaster replies:
Added minstrel as an acceptable answer. Thanks.

Isn't Apothecary the place where you buy medicine and not a profession? I also agree that Minstrel should be accepted.

A person who makes wagons is also a wagoner (waggoner, wagner) or a cartwright, and a person who drives animals is also a drover.
