Mediaeval England

Medieval England, spanning roughly from the 5th to the 15th century, was a period marked by feudal society, where land was owned by nobles and operated by peasants. It saw the growth of castles, towns, and universities, alongside the influence of the Church. Key events include the Norman Conquest in 1066, the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215, and several wars like the Hundred Years’ War. Society was hierarchical, with kings, nobles, knights, and commoners. Despite challenges like plagues and conflicts, this era laid many foundations for modern England’s culture, legal system, and governance.
