Introduction
Welcome
WELCOME! The Website you have just entered is all about castles and Medieval Times. The castles and cottages, royals and townspeople we talk about could have been found anywhere between the 500's and 1500's on the continent of Europe, especially in and around England. This span of time is called the Middle Ages, or Medieval Times.
Life Middle Ages
Life in the Middle Ages wasn't too easy for most people. For example, there wasn't always clean water to drink or food to eat. When a peasant (working-class person) cooked food or kept warm by the open fire at home, one spark could set their whole house on fire! There were also lots of fights and wars over things like land and money. People worked very hard in the Middle Ages, too. Building one castle could take a whole lifetime of hard work!
So Much To Learn
There is much to learn about the Middle Ages. This website is made by students and teachers at Salford Hills Elementary School. They researched castles and Medieval Times for weeks and hope that after experiencing this website you will learn as much as they did. Have fun!
