Hedgehog Roast




Hedgehog roast is what the wealthy ate.

The ingredients are: 5kg of Hedgehog meat, long grass to cover the meat while cooking. Then they would set up a barbecue area, find a large pot, fill it with water then put in the meat and cook it. After 2hours of cooking you take it out, remove the grass, then put the meat back in to cook some more. Then carve and serve.
Henry 2nd died in a tragic jousting accident when the lance pierced his visor and temple. OUCH!!!

There are many pieces of literature that are well known today such as The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, The Song of Roland and The Tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. they are all great pieces of literature and if you read them they are pretty interesting.

Harald is definitely awesome, and very interesting!
As he would say, hadu godt!

Castles!!!!!!




The topic I chose was castles. I chose castles because I loved Cinderella's castle in Disenyworld over the summer. When I think of castles I think middle ages. I think of the king in a big red lether chair. As you might know that Cinderella's castle is not very medievil but it is fun!!! :)

Seige Weapons...FUN!






The topic I chose is seige weapons. The mideval people had some very advanced seige technology, from arrows to giant trebuchets. Let's start with trebuchets. To narrow it down to modern times, it's almost a lethal version of pumpkin chunkin'. You load the rock or whatever ammo you decide is the best to take down an empire.
You then MUST lock the swing arm into place. After that, you can load the bucket with rocks. This will give the swing arm thrust to sendthe ammo flying.
Now let's move on to the ballista, or a giant crossbow. Flaming arrows were sent flying over tower walls.

Your Very Own Blog Post!


A Medieval Manor

Hi there, HHHHs!

(You do remember what all those Hs stand for, don't you?) Today we're going to take a look at how to actually create a post of your own. Watch carefully, listen hard, and you just might be able to create the coolest post ever!

Posting to our class blog IS going to be an assignment - but you might not get to finish it today. You can, however, start a post, save what you've done, and then come back to it later.

Jousting Helmet
So, we're going to learn how to manipulate font style, size, color, and alignment, and we'll take a look at how photos  and pictures are added, as well as how to insert a hyperlink (like this one) to some other location on the Internet.
