Medieval men typically worked a trade. **Make him gifted in his trade** so that commoners come from miles around to acquire his goods. Even nobility have heard of his skills. You can add **artistic mastery** to the trade. Like a blacksmith who makes not only the mightiest swords but carves the most amazing Celtic knotwork into the hilt. He can also be a gifted **problem solver**. People ask him advice. He solves aggressive conflicts with peaceful determination. He is cultured in that **he believes in love** and enjoys music. He rarely drinks, and he's funny when he does. You basically want a **very likeable character** who excels at everything he does except for perhaps his fatal flaw. It also opens the door for some young princess to teach him how to read (a la _The Belgariad_).
