Medieval Documentaries

This site offers a number of online documentaries with useful information. Many of the documentaries are focused on entertainment and offer a fun way to enter this subject, but at other times the entertainment factor is distracting. That said, all have good information and offer a chance to take a look at life in the Middle Ages. Some of the documentaries create an exaggerated sense of drama or humor. In our class discussions please share your opinions and ask  questions about any documentary you choose to view.

The documentary we are currently viewing in class is The Greatest Knight.
