After taking this treasure hunt you will have a broader sense of life in medieval times. It touches on areas that you have studied like the character of Charlemagne but also gives an idea for other areas in medieval life such as board games, a defense used in times of siege, stained glass windows of Notre Dame and the famous literary work Beowulf. If you look into the websites you will learn even more about the people, such as they were very religious.
Would you consider life in medieval times generally to be harder than life today or not?
