INTRODUCTIONmedia type="file" key="Medieval Folk Music.mp3" width="216" height="18" align="right" Click Play __**Welcome to the Medieval WebQuest!**__ You are about to take a journey back in time to an era which saw the fall of the **THE MIGHTY ROMAN EMPIRE** and the emergence of an era of history titled "**THE MIDDLE AGES**" emerged. It began in around 400 **BCE** and ended around **1400 BCE** with the advent of the next historical period: The Renaissance. The Middle Ages, as you are about to discover, operated in a very different climate to modern societies: It was based on **class systems, social status, kingship and gender lines**.

**Aims: ** - Learn about the social structure which existed during the Middle Ages - Be able to describe feudalism and its various level - Be able to identify and examine in detail the life of a person living during this era i.e. King, Knight, Peasant - Present your findings in a written format to be marked by the teacher
 * So what is it about the Middle Ages that is different? Why is is such an important era in history? How did the people live which was different from what came before and after? and How does its legacy live on? **

This webquest is made to complement our previous lesson on the fedual system therefore you should have some previous background knowledge. However as this activity will be spanned across two lessons feel free to ask questions of your teacher or simply conduct a search on the internet to find a answer. ** __Are you ready?__ **
