I like researching about food. Pretty much all the food. Except maybe vegetables. Vegetables are smelly. I like researching it so I can imagine what they ate and what it tasted like.

I mostly enjoy my topic (Castles) because they had traps for when invaders came in. They had traps in the ceiling, on the walls, and on the floors. I mostly enjoyed learning about the castle walls, and the weakest part was used for the entry door.

I enjoy the castles part and typing about what it is. I enjoy it because just learning about the castles was the best kind of. When I found this website I just started typing and,BOOM, I was typing super fast, plus its awesome that in the Middle Ages they used castles and knights!

I enjoy designing the main page the most. You can do a lot of different things to make it look cool. I think some interesting parts would be the lords and vassals and their clothing.

The thing that I think is the most disgusting about our topic (Black Death) is that the people that coughed out blood would have the highest chance that they would die first and they can not recover from it and the people that did not would have a lower chance of dying instantly. I would hate it if we still had the Black Death now!

There isn’t one thing that I find the MOST interesting. Everything about the crusades are cool. If I HAD to pick something interesting, it would be the fact that in 1212 there was a children’s crusade. I don’t know much about it because I just learned it existed, but it sounds interesting.

The most interesting stuff about the knights is that they are warriors from way back when they ruled by kings and queens. Also, because they have all these cool swords and armor. They also fought for there kingdom in deadly battles.

I enjoy learning about how many people were affected by the Black Death.

I find it creepy looking about how bad they looked when they had the Black Death.

I would tell them that we are really lucky that the Black Death isn’t here anymore.

Something important about the topic is how it was caused.

1. The topic that I have is heraldry and tournaments. The most important thing about heraldry is that if they didn’t have it back then, it would be hard to tell one night from any other night. They had different designs and symbols and shapes and sizes so. And they had those things because then no any night could pick the same thing as the other. Which would not be good because then they would get mixed up. That is why heraldry is important.

The most interesting aspects to me are how the Black Death spread and where it spread to. The rats carried the plague and gave the plague to the humans which is now called the Black Death. It started in East Asia and gradually spread westward to Europe and North Africa. When people hugged and kissed it spread to more places.

The main thing I like is the knights training because that is my topic and it is very interesting how they become knights. I like this because it teaches me what they had to go through and I think it sounds pretty cool to be a knight. I think that it’s weird because it is so different then what it is like today but at the same time really cool. It’s really important because without the knights training they might not be good fighters and the middle ages might not of been there so it was very cool to learn about and know I know a lot more about knight then I did before.

It’s pretty interesting learning about the crusades. I like the battles of Jerusalem and Acre they are very epic and cool battles. The only thing I don’t like is the massacre of Jerusalem, it was bloody, gory, and completely uncalled for.

The part I enjoy is finding the picts of coats of arms.
The most interesting thing about my topic is finding the info.
I don’t know what I would tell my friend about the topic. My topic is important because if the people in the Middle Ages didn’t have a coat of arms they couldn’t tell the different between two knights.

I enjoyed the weapons they were cool.
I thank this topic was very interesting.
And they use a lot of different weapons.

caiti #7 The topic I am doing is Knights. I studied about the armor. The first armor was called mails. They were little chains of metal ring hooked together. Then it changed into armor that covered your hole body. Even the horses had armor on the heads and necks. The armor weighed to 20 to 30 pounds or even more

I get to write about the fun facts. It’s fun because you get to put stuff about everything instead of staying in one certain subject. It’s fun to get to write about everything and the pictures are awesome.

The most interesting part of my topic is learning how it finally stopped. It is important, because if we didn’t know how it stopped we could get it again. It’s also important, because if it didn’t stop it would still be around.

My topic is important because you need to know about the castles. The castle protected them from wars and was the place where they lived so they were very important. They spent a lot of time building castles for protection and played a big role in the medieval times.

I think it was really dramatic how much they liked to make their castles so impenetrable. Like having murder holes or arrow loops stuff like that. Or even special doors that only kids could fit through. They were very cautious and that’s good they were prepared.

1. The Black Death is so interesting because the disease started from powerful bacteria found in rats! People didn’t really pay attention to them so when the plague started, they didn’t know where it was coming from. What was creepy about it was that people could just drop dead while talking. The Black Death wiped out a ton of people.

The most interesting thing about heraldry is that if your family is originally from England you can see what one of your ancestors was like. It’s pretty cool to find out what everything means. Like what the colors and symbols mean.

The coolest thing is jousting. Then the melee cause we haven’t learned about it. But its creepy of how in the melee the winner get all the stuff.

One of the most interesting aspects about my topic is that women would wear things over there head called wimples and it would cover their hair. I’m not really sure why but they did. Other then that the food is pretty intriguing; they would eat a whole lot of meat and dairy. But mainly they would eat dairy. That is what I think is interesting about my topic Daily Life.

One of the most interesting topics about my topic is that there is not just one. There are 8! Another thing that I find interesting is that the first Crusade was to re-capture Jerusalem. One more interesting thing is about the second Crusade. Pope Urban the 2nd was a very big part of this Crusade.

The most interesting thing that I learned was that the knights had pistols to use during the middle ages in the A.D. . . . I never did think that the knights had pistols. I always thought that they only had swords, armor, and a horse to ride on. Their armor was like a silver color, but when they first started out they only had like a chained link shirt to protect him. I am also surprised to see how young they are before they go to knight training until the age of 21 years old!

One of the interesting aspects is that the vegetables aren’t usually called vegetables the are called herbs. They are also considered the “poor food.” In the meats they used lots of peacock. The food is interesting to research about because when you are researching the food you can almost taste it. Its only good if what you are tasting is good.

If I was to tell my friend about this topic I would tell him it would take him a day just to finish the first page of information but you would have to admit that it is pretty good information but I think the crusades weren’t that helpful

A guy who has a guys land is called a vassal. The guy who owns the land is called a lord. The vassal can give the land to another guy. Now the first vassal is a lord and a vassal. The lords can take away the land from the vassal. The lord can make the vassle go to war with him.

There are a lot of things that are interesting about was spread by The Black Death. This plague spread so far and killed so many people it is amazing. The plague was spread by rats and the fleas. The rats carried a bacteria that spread very fast.

My favorite part is the wars. It is my favorite subject in the middle ages. I like how they where fighting in the name of god.

The part I enjoy the most about my project is adding pictures. I also love writing about the summary. The part that is kind of crazy about this is that the knights started training when they were 7 years old! But still they didn’t become a knight till after they were fifteen!

I think that it is important to know about knights because they were a very important aspect of the Middle Ages, and if I were to compare the modern tank and a knight the knight in his sentry would be the same as the tank, so you can see the difference. The Middle Ages needs to be remembered so we can avoid such a war filled time again.
