HAPPY STUDYING!!!
TEST ON THURSDAY MARCH 22ND THE QUESTIONS/ANSWERS ARE BELOW. STUDY THE FOLLOWING ONLY!!!
Middle Ages – Part 1
Pg. 50 -51 – The story of William Marshall
1. Who was William Marshall?
He was a famous soldier and an ideal knight who became an earl (the most senior position in England apart from being king) and owned land in Wales, Ireland and Normandy, as well as in England. He died rich, famous and respected by everyone.
2. What are the characteristics of an ideal knight?
A knight learned how to use a sword and a battle-axe, how to ride a war-horse and be accurate with a lance. He exercised and was fit. He learned how to dance, eat and drink properly and be polite to ladies. He went on Crusades to fight and he was loyal to the King. He was also courageous and bright.
3. Why do people go to war? Page 55
People go to war for more land/colonies, money/wealth/jewellery, slaves for labour, glory, Crusades (capture the Holy Land), trade because they have enemies.
4. What happened at the battle of Hastings. Page 57
In the early morning mist English and Normans faced each other on a hillside near Hastings. The battle lasted all day. It was a close battle but finally King Harold was killed and the battle ended.
5. How can pictures like the Bayeux Tapestry tell us about History. Page 60-61
We look at the pictures carefully and pick out the details that are there and write about them. Then we can make INFERENCES. An inference is more than a guess. It is something you can work out from the picture even if it’s not shown.
6. Why did monk John and monk Guillaume tell us different stories or their versions of the Battle of Hastings?
John was English and Guillaume was from Normandy and they wanted people to believe their version of the story. Both stories show bias (one point of view).
7. What changes took place when William was crowned King of England? Pages 72-73
-He gave his supporters land.
-The Normans built castles to protect their soldiers.
-The Normans stopped The English hunting in their forests.
-The King and his men spoke French and the ordinary people who spoke English were afraid.
-He built grander churches and cathedrals to show Norman wealth and power.
8. Why did Hereward go to the Abbey? Page 78
He went to the abbey to take the gold, silver and jeweled ornaments to the Isle of Ely and hide them from the Danish ships.
9. What happened to William when he died? Page 80
The servants stole his jewels and clothes, leaving his body naked. At his funeral, the coffin was too small for his swollen body. As men tried to force his body into the coffin, it burst, causing a terrible stink. The nobles and bishops ran out of the cathedral, leaving a handful of monks to bury the King.
10. How did castles change in the 12th century? Pg. 83
Most were rebuilt in stone. At the centre was the strongest part of the castle called the keep.
11. How did castles change in the 15th century? Pg. 84
By this time castles were mostly used as homes not as defences. Not even a castle was strong enough to withstand cannonballs.
12. What is chainmail armour? What is a longbow? Pgs. 84-85
Chainmail armour was worn by knights when they went to battle. A longbow was a weapon that was used by archers.
13. When was gunpowder first used in Europe? Page 85
It was first used in the 1300s.
14. What did Charlemagne do when he became king of the Franks? Pg. 120 HANDOUT Feudalism and the Manor
-He kept Western Europe united.
-Expanded his kingdom by conquering weaker kingdoms.
-He promoted learning and culture.
-He spread the Christian religion.
-He issued money and improved the economy.
15. (a) What was the role of the lord? Pg. 122

-He made rules and acted as judge.

-He collected taxes from the peasants who lived on the manor.
