A/n: This is based on a request from my tumblr. Anyways, I tried to make it as accurate to medieval times as I could but there are probably some mistakes. Either way I hope you enjoy and as always remember to hydrate or diedrate.

The Doctor had a habit of letting the Tardis pick their destination and just enjoying the adventure. This time it seems that the Tardis had landed somewhere in 14th century England.

Looking around, The Doctor took in all the information around him trying to piece together exactly what year they had landed in. Meanwhile his companion, Donna Noble was looking around in awe. Sure she had been traveling with The Doctor for months at this point, but each new location, whether it was a different planet or just a different point in earth's history, took her breath away.

"I've got it!" The Doctor shouted once he figured out what year it was. "1358 England. The middle of the Hundred Years War between England and France." The Doctor explained to his companion.

After establishing when they were, the duo began walking through the market. Admiring the simplicities of the middle ages.

"Humans are amazing. It's only been a few years since the black death swept the world and look at them already back to living like it was just a nightmare." The Doctor said, always amazed by the resilience of the human race.

"You brought me to England only a few years after the end of the Black Plague? Are you mad? What if we catch it?" Donna asked, sounding more than a little upset by the risk of catching one of the deadliest plagues the world has seen.

The Doctor just rolled his eyes. "Oh don't worry about it. Like I said it's been years since the outbreak ended. You'll be fine." He said turning away from the ginger. "Anyways, what's going on over there?" The Doctor didn't wait for a response from his companion, instead he rushed off in the direction of a large crowd lining the street.

Arriving at the gathering of people The Doctor tried pushing through the crowd to see what everyone was looking at. When he couldn't get to the front or see over the heads of the peasants he turned to an older gentleman who also seemed to be trying to get a look.

"Excuse me sir, but what is going on here?" The Doctor asked, curious about what event he may have landed in the middle of.

The man gave The Doctor a strange look after seeing his clothes, but still responded. "Why, Princess Y/n is set to arrive in town any minute now. She's stopping through here on journey back to London after studying up north." The man explained.

Just as the man finished Donna stopped next to The Doctor slightly out of breath. "Why is it always running with you?" She asked, not having heard any of the previous conversation.

The Doctor failed to acknowledge his companion, instead he was busy trying to figure out why this 'Princess Y/n' sounded familiar. It was like something big happened revolving around her but he couldn't quite remember what it was.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of horses and a carriage coming up the road. "She's here. Princess Y/n has blessed our peaceful little town." A woman shouted, drawing everyone's attention to the carriage, each one hoping to get a glimpse of the crowned princess of their beloved kingdom.

"Did she just say Princess Y/n?" Donna asked The Doctor.

The Doctor nodded, before picking up on Donna's confused tone. "Yes, Princess Y/n is stopping in this small town on her way back to London after spending the last few years studying in Northern England." The Doctor explained. As he spoke, The Doctor seemed to realize something. "That's why she sounds familiar!" He shouted, startling a few of the peasants who stood near him and Donna. "Sorry, don't mind us. Donna, come on." He said, grabbing her hand and pulling her back in the direction of the Tardis.
