What was life like in the Middle Ages?

Welcome to another blog-post, this week in Chemicals and Chaos (Social Science) we were looking at what was life like in the Middle Ages. We had to draw what life for the peasants would look like in the middle ages and we also had to write a slam dunk paragraph.

Slam Dunk Paragraph:

What is life in the middle ages like? Sadly, life in the middle ages was not as smooth as nowadays. Life in the middle ages there were the rich such as the king and the poor which were the peasants. The majority of people living during the Middle Ages lived in the country and worked as farmers.  Therefore the rich and poor had different levels of wealth, the rich would live in castles, have the opportunity to shower daily, ate lots of foods, also the kings had all the power to service, and wealth. Peasants during the middle ages did not have a variety of opportunities for food, wealth, clothes and hygiene compared to the king.The peasants were called the lord's 'villeins', which was like a servant.  Most peasants' lives were based in the countryside rather than the city. This was important because many people in the middle ages dont have the opportunity for things that we take for granted. Life in the middle ages it was either you were born rich or poor.
