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.

MEDIEVAL WEAPONS. BY TEIVA

This is a battle ready sword. Some medieval swords were five feet or more. A 2 handed sword could cut though mail and bone.

This is soldier is on the back of a horse holding a spear and with armour on so he doesn't get killed or wounded by the other people who are attacking him.

THE LONG BOW.

The English longbow, also called the Welsh longbow, was a powerful type of medieval longbow (a tall bow for archery) about 6 ft (1.83 m) long used by the English and Welsh, both for hunting and as a weapon in medieval warfare. English use of longbows was effective against the French during the Hundred Years' War, particularly at the start of the war in the battles of Crecy (1346) and Poitiers (1356), and most famously at the Battle of Agincourt. A longbow must be long enough to allow its user to draw the string to a point on the face or body, and the length therefore varies with the user.
