Life in Medieval Britain

A Child's History of Britain introduces readers to British history from a child's viewpoint. Each book introduces general features of the time period, but focuses on what life was like for children, including where they lived, what they learned at school and where they worked. A final section explores how we use historical evidence to reconstruct the past. Life in Medieval Britain explains what life was like for young people in the centuries after the Norman Conquest of England. It looks at everything from Knights and castles to having fun. Would you have gone to school if you were a child in Medieval Britain? What was the Peasants Revolt? What were the grandest buildings in Medieval Britain? Includes full colour illustrations, a glossary and a quiz.
