MEDIEVAL CASTLES by QUIN


CASTLES

My topic is castles. I'd like to do it because we have been learning about castles and people who lived in them. This is the ruins of an old- medieval castle in Wales.


THE TOWER OF LONDON
This is the white tower of London. William the Conqueror, the person who built this castle made it to take captive prisoners and to torture all sorts of people.It is now a famous tourist attraction in London to show the history of the castle and it's use.


DANGER OF THE CASTLES

There were all sorts of dangers that could destroy a castle. One was a catapult which could destroy a castle easily. Another thing was the battle rams which would be pushed against the draw bridge to smash open the drawbridge.





PEOPLE OF THE MIDDLE AGES

Some people that lived in the Middle Ages were: peasants, lords, ladies, princes and princesses, kings, queens and many others.

When I went to England and Wales I made sure I visited some castles. I went to a castle in Wales and of course The Tower of London
