The Medieval world

A Captain of Owain Glyndwr
Wether it be a general view of medieval life or a more specific area of study this workshop can cover any part of the medieval period.
The interactive workshop setting could for example allow the class will learn about daily life in Wales at the time of the Welsh Princes.
Where students will see the medieval world and the Age of the Princes in their historical context and then through costumed interpretation, artefacts, and interactive workshops will learn about social, military and religious aspects that led to a way of life very different from their own.
Or perhaps the life and times of Owain Glyndwr and the great Welsh rebellion.
Life as a rich lord in a castle or life as a lowly peasant in a medieval village. Here are some of the topics that can be covered.
Warfare, chivalry, weapons and armour. Medicine, surgery and the Black Death.
Crime and Punishment. Arthurian Tales. The Church and Religion.
The Norman Conquest. The Welsh Wars. Food and Cooking. Society.
The class will come to understand through handling artefacts, why the people lived the way they did and made decisions that were a matter of life and death! Writing with quill and ink, handling armour or looking with horror at the surgical tools of the period, all will get the pupils thinking
