This term we have been studying medieval times.
What we have learnt is that the king is highest but rarely rich enough to have his own army so he gives barons and knights land so that they provide him with serfs and knight to fight. Somewhere between the knight and serfs are the merchants and crafts men.
The knights and barons are called nobles and they may own a section of land and got paid by the serfs who farm his land.
Priests were often rich, for the church had a lot off power.
We have learnt about crop rotational cycle, where there are two plots with different plants and one with no plants.
What I would like to learn is
How often would war break through neighbouring countries.
And would they ever be in peace or alliance.
How did they write ( what font, the language) and how did messages get around.
