The Saxons were a people from
north Germany who migrated
to the island of Britain around
the 5th century.

There were actually three
main peoples: the Saxons,
the Angles and the Jutes.

11. Kings
King John was an English king. He was
not a very pleasant person. He told
lies. He put innocent people in prison
so that he could steal their belongings.
He put a poor man in prison once just
so he could steal the man's horse and
cart.

12. Kings
He was a big liar so nobles were
furious. Armed and ready, they
gathered a huge force of nobles at
the town of Runnymede. They
brought the king there. The
archbishop read aloud to the king
from a parchment he held, a
parchment called the Magna
Carta, the Great Charter.

Richard the Lionheart was a son of
Henry II. He was a leader in Third
Crusade, also known as “Crusade
of Kings”. He was one of the
bravest and kings in history

15. Kinghts
There were three main types of soldiers
during the Middle Ages: foot soldiers,
archers, and knights. The knights were
heavily armored soldiers who rode on
horseback. Only the wealthiest nobles
could afford to be a knight. They needed
very expensive armor, weapons, and a
powerful war horse.

16. There were two ways that a
Kinghts
man could become a knight
during the Middle Ages.
Earning the right in
battlefield. If a soldier
fought bravely he may
be awarded knighthood
by the king. The second
way was to become an
apprentice to a knight
and earn the title
through hard work and
training.

17. Kinghts
Tournaments were pretend battles
between groups of knights. When a
town or area would have a tournament
they would invite knights from other
areas. Typically the local knights fought
against the knights from outside the
area.
