Castles of the Middle Ages
The famous Middle Age castles are The Tower of London, Warwick Castle, Leeds Castle, Windsor Castle, Caernarvon Castle, and the Chateau Galliard. A castle is part of a manor . These castles were probably on a manor. Some of the most important things on a castle
are
the drawbridge, the keep, the postern
gate,
the arrow loops, and the barbican.Slide3
Knights
The knights were the soldiers that fought in Crusades. Their armor was very important because if they didn`t have a lot of armor they would get killed very easily. The armor was so important that it would weigh almost 36 pounds. The
knightâs armor is a helmet, a cuisse, a greave, a gauntlet, a coat of mail, a visor, a shoulder piece, an elbow piece, a knee piece, a
gorget, a tasse
, a cuirass, a
sabaton
, and a brassard.Slide4
Cathedrals
Cathedrals
are churches
which
contain
the official seat or throne of a bishop. Another name for a cathedral is a ecclesia. Cathedrals are frequently large, but not always. As the one important church, it always was known as a ecclesia major. During the 10
th and 11th
centuries the cathedral Clergy became more organized
and were divided into 2 classes. Slide5
Weapons
Weapons were very important in the Middle Ages because
they
helped you win wars, and there
were
a lot of wars back then. One of my favorite weapons is the battering ram. Other weapons were the ballista, a tower, a
mangonel
, and
arrowloops. The tower was used to get over the 13 ft. wall that was built, so they could get over the wall.
Arrowloops
were
used,so
they could go right up to it and shoot the arrow, but the enemy couldn`t kill them because it was extremely hard to get
an
arrow through it. The
mangonel
is when you put something in this container and it lofts it in the air far away. They would usually put rocks or something really hot so it would burn the enemy.Slide6
